Blaine In Connecticut.
HARTFORD, Nov. l Hartford was
reached at noon. AS the train came
toa stop there WAS cannon salute
md much cheering. Blaine and
fremont accompanied by Senator
Hswley entered carriage and were
driven to the stand in front of the
court house around which were sew
srsl thousand peo, lie. Waiting all
along the route were Plumed Knirhts
and other clubs. General HaWIev
introduced Blaine, who was loudlv
rheered. He spoke as follows: The
neorle Of that splendid section of the
State Of Ohio which was entirely a
colony of Connecticut, commission
me hy their votes to bear to the
mother State in whose capitol I now
stand the assurance of tn. ir
loya ty to New England
teachi' gs ard New England
principles. (Cheers.) 1 am here to-
day to receive from you the assur-
ances that the mother State herself is
prepared to prove her fidelity to her
own history AMI her own example.
Renewed cheer..) If there lie any
State in the Union profound Y in
terested in the industrial and tiuan.
cial systems of the United, States as
those systems exist to-day, Connect
cut is that Stat for marvellous in.
dustries have been built up under the
influence of a protective tariff, and
here a great financial centre, from

with the Union. has received In
full measure the benefit and blessing
of the great financial system which
this party has given this country.
iCheers) The national canvass now
50 near its close concerns in q wide
sweep of the great issues it involves
every man, woman and child in the
land, There is not an industry that
will not be affected by its decision.
The industrial system and financial
system under which our national
progre SO has been achieved during
the last twenty.three years are Pc
culiarly the work Of the Republican
party, for at every step in their en-
sctment they were resisted by the
Democratic party. Have the voters
of Connecticut stopped to reflect
what would be the influence upon
their state If there was such &
change in the tariff as the
Democratic party in Congress
came within twenty-four votes of ef-
fecting last winter? Have the voters
of Connecticut stopped to think what
would be the effect of abandoning
the present currency system of the
United States which would cert liniy
follow if the Democratic party should
come into power? That Currency
system AS it stands to-day is certainly
the most remarkable in the financial
history of the world. A greenback
circulation of between three and
four hundred millions is held steadi-
" at par with gold by the readiness
of the government with coin In the
treasury to redeem every cent on
presentation by exchanging frac-
ilonal currency for gold.
