by the rear of the court house. for it would
have been almost impossible to have made
passageway through the dense crowd In
front.
AS soon as Blaine had got upon the
stand the colored jubilee singers of the
Fisk University, of Tennessee, sang with
great effect one of their stirring songs,
which was loudly applauded
Mr.. Burnett, chairman of the Monroe
County Central Committee, introduced
Mr.. Blaine, who was received with tre-
mendous cheering. When order was re-
stored Blaine, speaking slowly and i'm
pressively, so that his voice reached near
ly every member of the great audience,
said | am sure that no desire to offer
personal compliment to any living man
could have brought this vast audience
together, and / have not vanity enough to
accept it as offered to myself individually.
1t is rather an expression by this great
assemblage of people of Western New
York of their confidence in those princi-
Piles which have brought prosperity to our
country and have builded your own beauti-
full city as one Of the examples and illus
trations of that prosperity. Republicanism
embodies in its creed four distinct and i'm
portant doctrines. First, peace with the
whole world. Second, commercial expan-
sion in every practicable direction. Third,
encouragement of every form of American
industry. Fourth, protection to every
citizen. native or naturalized. at home and
abroad. Under these policies the Republi-
can party strives to conduct the govern
ment. Under these principles the Repub-
limits ifcplf IN fhQ in6umpnf
of the American people. On these princi-
Piles we conquer, or on these principles we
are conquered. thank you, gentlemen; l
thank you from the bottom of my heart for
whatever in this splendid ovation is per-
sonal to myself, but l ask your attention,
with special emphasis, to the Importance
of those positions to which / have so briefly
adverted Enthusiastic and prolonged

BUFFALO, September 25.-At Batavia
delegation of 100 gentlemen from Buffalo
came aboard the train. When the party
arrived in the Buffalo depot at o'clock
there was already a great crowd there.
Blaine, escorted by Chairman Warren and
the local committee, entered a carriage
and passed up between rows of uniformed
Plumed Knights and other political clubs
bearing torches, and for the ensuing three
hours he was driven through the principal
streets of the city and received an ovation
which it would take columns to describe.
Men. women and children were so densely
packed together in the streets that the
police had all they could do to make
way far the carriages. The widest en-
thusiasm prevailed. At few points along
the route there were cheers for Cleveland
and shouts of Cleveland is the man." but
nearly all of these demonstrations were
made by boys, and everywhere the greatest
good humor prevailed. At a few minutes
after IL the procession passed the Tiff
House, and Blaine and isSparty went in
by the rear entrance, the crowd in front
being too great. Almost Immediately
Blaine had to show himself on the bal
cony, and there for the next hour he stood
reviewing the procession and bowling his
acknowledgements OF the enthusiastic
demonstrations made by the people in the
street. There were more than 10000 men
in line, and the lowest estimate is that
there were at least 10000 people in the
streets. The display of fireworks was
very grand. 1t was near midnight when
the end of the procession passed the hotel,
and Blaine stepped into the hotel from
the balcony, but he had hardly got into
his room when the Buffalo Glee Club came
to give him serenade.
Blaine and party leave here tomorrow
noon, reaching Dunkirk at o'clock, Erie
at 220, stopping there fifteen minutes
Ashtabula, O., $780, stopping one hour;
Painsville, O., $50, stopping one hour, and
arriving at Cleveland at 6:55.
ERIE, Pa, September 26.-At Westfeld,
the last station in New York at which the
train stopped, people had assembled in
large numbers. Many ladies were present
in carriages and on foot Mr.. Blaine on
being introduced was greeted with three
cheers. He said:
81 am glad at the last station l shall
stop in York State, to have the Oppor-
tunity of again expressing to New Workers
my thanks for all the kindness / have re-
ceived since l entered their commonwealth,
and thank you, people of Westfield, for
this very kind reception. For the past two
days have been journeying through the
heart of this great State and have net
everywhere the kindest reception. You
add another to the many compliments
have received, and / thank you very sim
CcTcly. uO uOt III luC lCdSU hottOA Auy oCil
that these great popular demonstrations are
to myself personally. They are of much
higher and broader significance, and they
indicate the arousing of the people of New
York to the great issues that are now left
in a peculiar sense to their arbitrament.
OF these issues it would be hardly becom-
ing in me to speak. So l content myself
with renewing my acknowledgements for
the great compliment you pay me-"
CLEVELAND O., September 26.-SoOn
after the train crossed the line between
and Ohio it stopped at the
little station of Conneaut, the first stop in
the Western Reserve. Owing to some mis-
understanding the people had only an
hours notice of Blaine's coming, but there
was large gathering of men, women and
children. 1t was, perhaps the most en-
thusiastic crowd seen so far on the trip
and when the candidate appeared the peo-
pie cheered wildly. Blaine said:
II count it a matter of good fortune, as
it certainly is matter of qualification to
myself, that 1 enter the State of Ohio
through the old county of Ashtabula. l
have never visited this country but with
warm welcome, to which you to-day add
another. l thank you sincerely and bid
you goodbye"
At Ashtabula another large and en-
thusiastic crowd greeted Blaine, and he
was compelled to leave the train and
the platform, where all the people
could see him. He said:
Il have already said upon the border of
your state that it is peculiar qualification
to me that / enter the State of Ohio |
through the county of Ashtabula. In our
political divisions we look to States. Or
dinarilv the country is undistinguished be-
yond the limits of the State of which it
is part. But there are few counties in
