SALAMANCA, N. Y, Oct 27-The Republi-
cans OF Jamestown and vicinity, regardless of
the rain which was falling, gave Mr.. Blaine an
enthusiastic reception this morning A stand
had been erected in front of the Humphrey
House, and all the availsble space there was
occupied an hour and half before the pro-
cessl0n which escorted Mr.. Blaine arrived
Ex-Goy. Fenton introduced Mr.. Blaine, who
was received with cheers. Mr.. Blaine said:
Citizens Of Ckaatauqua County:
though 1t has been my fortune in each of my two
visits 10 jamestown to encounter storm leit be-
fore as leave now with the assurance that you are
not dry weather Republicans, and that you can
stand storm The national contest draws 70
speech, will state consecutivey and as may
three four propositions. Iu the first place. the
great closing issue is whether shall continue the
policy of protection, break it down and resort to
free trade. Keep protection; keep it if you want
your prosperity contihu My next proposition is
that You should entrust that work to the hepubli-
can party, which has besn persistenty and con-
sisteDtly in favor of that policy, and not to the
Democratic party which has been consistently and
perssteDtly in favor OF free trade. (Cheers.) And
my third pr position is that the Democratic party
Seeks no., as it has sought since the war, to
capture the national vernment by uniting the
North with The solid South and New York is one of
the States in which that effort is 10 be made New
York is asked to turn her back upon the great
memories and the great record of her own history
and unite with the South. Neveri 1 know that
you will not dc it Never! For the contest in be-
half of protective tariff and the contest against
giving the south with it's free trade theories control
of this government, believe yon are ready, Have
you confidence in your ability to triumph? Yes,
yes! and cheers) Do you fully realize your re-
sponsibility? (We do) Is your courage equal to
your responsibility and your confidence? (Yes yes)
Then hen have nothing more to say. lCries Of 60
on!'o Gentlemen, Western New York has the
suit of the national contest largely in its keeping and
1t is upon the loyalty, courage determinati n and
number of the Republicans of Western New York
that whole Nortu relies to-day, feeling confident
that as in past years You have held aoft the banner
OF the Unon you will do the same in this crisis not
less grave than those In which you have elected so
patriotically and SO firmly.
From the stand Mr.. Blaine was driven to
the depot where at Doon he left by special
train for New York. AT Randolph, small
station, there was considerable of gathering
aud Mr.. Blaine spoke few words, as did also
Senator Miller.
ANGELICA, N. Y. Oct G.-At Salamanca.
Mr.. Blalue spoke as follows:
The American people never settled but one great
question in a single presidential election. There
may be other issues, but there is always one that
leads and in the end absorbs the popular attention.
The issue in 1S+4 is the question of q protective
tariff the one side against free trade on the 9TH
er. Some Republicans in the State of New York
have acted wisely. If they want free trade, the
proper thing fo them to do is join the Democrat
ic party; but for those who want protective tariff
cor tinued the proper thing Is to adhere to the Re-
publican party. Any m N who has decided copvc-
tions on that question should remain and abide
with the Republican party,
On the other hand any man who has decided
views in favor of free trade will better carry out
these views by joining the Democratic party. /
want to be very frank wi b the gentlemen who
think other questions are to be settled this year.
There is real issue but the question of protection
and that other one which connects itself with and
becomes part of it, because the opponents of
protective tariff if they have any hopes of prevail
lug, hope TO do it by solidfS ing the vote of the
South and asking the men of Indiana and men of
New York to join them. The question therefore is
whether you are ready to take New YORK out of the
great Gordon # states that were loyal during the
WAY horf fof fha
trade m y triumph over protection. l could not by
multiplying words make the issue any palmer than
mat I believe when look in'o your faces that
leave that issue in safe hands l believe that
western New ork will show that she is not to be dj
vert by any side issues, especially by questions
which cannot be settled this year and which will
only tend to unssttle her questions of &c eat and
transcendspt importance. (Cheers)
ELMIRA, Oct. 27.-At Angelica Mr.. Blaine
left the train and in company with Ex- Senator
Platt, was driven through the village to a
covered stand where large crowd had gather
ed. o. M. Cole introduced MIR. Blaine, who
made an eloquent speech, and was loudly
cheered.
Shortly after the Blaine train left James
town this morning Mayor Parsons OF Roches-
ter approached Mr.. Blaine, bearing a uniform
OF Co. f., 1st Regt. boys in blue of Rochester
and in a brief address called Mr.. Blaine's at
tention to the fact, that few weeks ago he
had signed roll of Co. f., and was the only
non-uniformed member of that CO., and pre-
sented letter accompanied by one of the uni
forms of that Company. Mr.. Blaine in
accepting the letter and aift said he should
carry the uniform home with him as one of
the most pleasing souvenirs of his long tour
with which he should associate Rochester both
at his going and his coming. Continuing, he
said:
81 wish you would mmunicate personally to
the gentlemen who have so signally marked their
Partially for me, my full appreciation of their act
and include especially in my hanks the ladies who
have lent their gracious and skillful aid. Please
appreciation of the kindness of those whom you
represent on this occasion we'll as my present
memory of the great and enthusiastic den
with which the poop honored me on the occas-
ion of my last visit to Rochester.
