AT ERIE.
AsRTABULA, O., Sept. 26.-There was
fine demon stration at Erie before the train
arrived at the station. As it was passing
the Erie City Boiler works, the workmen ran
out and cheered at them. There were also
about 5000 people full of enthusiasm. Mr..
j. T. Browning, of Erie, was heartily ap-
plauded when he introduced Mr.. Blaine as a
son of our own soil, grandson of our revo-
lutiOnary hero. A man who to-day is first in
the hearts and thoughts of the loyal people
of America. When the cheering had sub
sided Mr.. Blaine said:
Although it is thirty years since I was a
citizen of Pennsylvania, there is no spot on
earth where / feel more at home. The assO-
Citations of my childhood and of my young
manhood, and all that l cherished in early
life were identified with Pennsylvania, and
/ always return to her with a feeling Of affec-
ton which is not lessened but deepened by
my long absence. I therefore, feel
to-day in your kind reception that l am met
by brethren and friends-indeed, l might
say by kinsmen, because | hardly conceive
it possible to assemble so large a number of
Pennsylvanians together anywhere upon the
soil of the state without including some one
with whom l am nearly or remotely con-
uected. With all my attachment to the hon
ored states of my residence in which have
spent nearly all the years of my adult life, l
have lost nothing of my love for old Penn
sylvania. thank you sincerely for this ex-
preston of friendly regard, and with the
haste of traveller upon an express train 1
bid you goodbye.

Of Ohio, who made a few remarks, which
were very favorably received. The people
