tainly would not advocate the protective system
if it injured any of the great interests OF the
country, but the fact is that there never was a
time when agriculture, manufactures and com

results in any nation, as in the United states
during the last twenty-three years, under the

AT Middletown, Mr.. Blaine, in the course of
his remarks, said;
81 have just returned from long
States of the West-of Ohio, Mich
gan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin,
and every where found the Republican party
united, strong, and hope confident. l hope
that that is its condition in New York. If you
have had any differences in your own ranks, II
there have been any little discussions, trust
that you will forget them, and that there will be
but one Republican party in the State OF New
York. / trust that there will be no longer half
breeds or stalwarts,' but only Republicans; that
we shall tolerate no jealousies or heart burnings
within our ranks; but that ignoring the differ
ences of the past, we shall unite in common and
honorable combat against this enemy, not only
of our party, but, as we believe, the prosperity
of our country"
At Paterson there was an immense multitude
awaiting the arrival OF me Train, certainly HOU

said that the most enthusiastic Republicans he
had met in the West were in Indiana, and from
what he had heard and seen tonight he was in
clined to think the most enthusiastic Republic
ans of the East were in New Jersey.
A very short stop was made at Rutherford
Park and then, at about Z o'clock. the train ran
into the depot at Jersey City. Here the people
cheered Mr. Blaine and crowded around him so
that it was not easy for the party to get through
the ferry house. The ferry company had provided
a special boat which carried the party to the
foot of Twenty third street, whence they were
driven to the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where Mr.
Elkins, Senator Hale and Blaines wife and
daughter were awaiting him.

In that time he has travelled by rail more than
5000 miles and made from ten to twenty nine
speeches per day. He is in excellent health and
spirits, even better than when he started.
The run from Elmra to day, 272 miles, was
one of the longest made in any one day. and,
owing to the excellent arrangement made by the
officers of the Erie road ana the good manage
ment of Mr. Draper, of the national committee,
at the same time one of the easiest, although it
included eighteen stops and speeches

committee of ministers at the Fifth-avenue
Hotel witness parade in the afternoon, and
attend the Delmonico dinner in the evening.
