lucky. When Mr.. Blame appeared on
the rear platform, some one in the
crowd shouted Hats off," Instantly
every hat was removed, and then there
was a great and prolonged outburst OF
cheering, during which MIR. Blaine stood
bowIng to them. He held out his hand
to command silence, and when he got u
chance to speak, said:
l am glad to have an opportunity
this morning, as / am about to depart
from your city, to express 20 so many
OF the people of Indianapolis the great
obligation feel, the great thankfulness
offer for the magnificent reception
given me here yesterday. 1t is one of
the events of my life, and will be cher
ished in my remembrance as long as life
lasts. [Great cheering.l

tie station, but the first large meeting
was at Martinsville, twenty miles from
Indianapolis.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 23.-Mr.
Blaine left Evansville at $50 this morn
ing, having before him long days ride
to Lafayette. The first stop was at Sui
livan, small station, where there were
about 1000 assembled. Mr.. Blaine made
a short speech, and was received in the
usual enthusiastic manner. At Terre
Haute three was great demonstration.
AS the train came into the city the steam
whistles in the factories and on the loco
motives sounded a welcome, and when
it reached the depot the crowd received
Mr.. Blaine with wild cheering. He was
escorted by the reception committee,
headed by the mayor, to carriage driV-
en- in the procession through the crowd
ed city for about an hour. Upon re-
turning 80 the depot he made a short
speech in which he drew a distinct IN
between the new south and the old south !;
the new seeking industrial development
of that section, and laboring t0lead its
past; the old advising hostility
to northern interest and de-
voted to the lost cause {;
the narrowness of vision incapable OF
taking in the sweep and magnitude of
our great future. This old south constl-
tuted, ne said, the main element of
strength in the Democratic party, and
was now striving and hoping with the
aid of Indiana and New York to get
control of the national government, and
it was for the people Of those states to
say whether they were prepared to hand
over the government to them
