4 Mr.. Blaine's tour through Ohio has been a
continued ovation. AZ every stopping place
the people gathered in vast masses to get ssight
of him and to hear word from his life. Near

out reference to politics; but on few occasions
he referred to the pending canvass, 80, ':>s'
At Toledo he said::I should at any time
deem it Improbable to speak disrespectfully
political opponents. Ishould in my present
position, deem it altogether improper, would
rather be the victim Of Islander than the author
ofit[great cheeringl But there are some things
which, do not deem unbecoming to me- holding
the position do, to call your attention to-. The
Republican party has governed the country
for twenty -four years in the spirit and accord
| ing to the measures of a broad nationality.
| The progress under our government in that
| spirit has far transcribed the progress made
in all the previous years of the NATIONS history

which Have given this progress, would be "a
step backward into the dark. [Applause and
shouts of Correct y When we argue the
mitted to regard it merely as one to be set
tled;on the basis Of expediency, because the
large majority of our opponents hold a pro-
| tective tariff to be unconstitutional. There is
not one great measure that the Republican
party has adopted nor one great step the party
has taken since the Inauguration of Abraham
| Lincoln in 1861, that the Democratic party has
not opposed and has not considered unconsti-
tutional So that to day to remand the gov
! eminent of the United States to tho control of
the Democracy is not merely an ordinary
change of parties; it is a total reversal of the
policy that has distinguished tho government
of the United states since 1861. [Renewed ap-
plause.] 1t is giving to the narrowing dogma
| of states rights the precedence in the grand
| march which has been made, and which could
| only be made, under the banner of a broad

great plane that the Republican party has done

At Hamilton, he spoke moreat length, as fol.
lows:
Citizens of Ohio: 1t is now forty years since:
the question of protective tariff engaged the.
attention of the American people as profound
ly as it does to-day 1t was in the contest be-
tween MI: Clay and Polk, in 1874, that the great,
national debate on this question took place, and
the protective tariff was defeated, not by the
popular vote, but by the bad faith of the party
1 which succeeded in the election; and beg to
call your attention to the fact that hespoliey ot
defeatedip the United States Ky popular vote
A contrary policy has been forced on the peo-
pie at different times through the bad faith of
their representatives; but never, 1 repeat, by

people in their primary capacity. It there.
fore would seem to be the duty :, Of
the people Of the United States, if a majority
of them believe in the policy of protection, to
see to it that that party is sustained which can
be trusted to uphold it [Cheers.] eyes, but, >

all lseasons, continuous flow of prosperity 4
but the question Sis whether; over agiven Sc
ries Of years. there has not been a. larger do
gree of prosperity to the people under the
policy of protection than under the policy of
free trade. The question is to be gagged and
/ tested not by the experience of a single year,
but by the experience of a series of years. We.
have had the protective tariff now for more
than two decades, and ask you whether there
has ever been another period in which the Uni
! ted States has made such progress as during
the last twenty years But it is true, now and
