on the Sciota Valley road, at 10 o'clock
this morning. Ex-Governor Foster
Joined the party. The first stop was at
CircleVille, where there. was a large
gathering in front of the. court house
Mr.. Blaine was received imam enthusiasts
tic manner. He spoke as follows: If to
| be observed by an entire continent be
source of pride, the people of Ohio
| should be very proud to-day, because
the eyes of every State in the Union are
upon them, and the action of the people
OF Ohio on Tuesday next is awaited
with deep solicitation throughout the
length and breadth of the nation
| We have LETT now the only
other State that votes in October
The average degree of Republican zeal In
the country is TO be tested by your vote
and your vote will be taken as an index
to the vote of November. My only mis-
! sion, therefore, Is to urge upon you the
| Importance or your action on Tuesday
next, and to ask you il you are ready
| for it. (Crie5 ofsyes, yes, ready, ready.
and cheers). For the first time in forty
years, the first time since 1874 when
mir. Clay and Mr.. Polk were the nomi-
nees OF the two great parties, tariff for
| protection becomes, from the very first
day of the campaign, a subject for pOpu-
lar discussion. That discussion is well
nigh closed, and the question is 10 be
submitted to jury OF 100000 voters
in your State. AS that jury decide
may be the fate OF the protective
tariff in this country for a generation.
1t is too late now to go into
an elaboration of argument. Action IS
the word now. 3 Action is your duty
L refrain, therefore. from dong more
! than to remind you that in all critical
elections of the past, unless the great
crisis of 1868 and 1864 be an exception,
never has more weighty or more far
reaching responsibility deYolyed upon
the people of Ohio than that which
they viii meet on Tuesday. next, and
meeting which hope and believe they
will fully and faithfully discharge.
| Great cheering.)

great representation OF theagricultural

which the nation expects of them OF

in a large part, secured Mr.. Lincoln's
election; it was the vote of Ohio in DC
tober, 1854, that secured the great vic
tory to loyalty and the union in the
rear of civil war; it was the vote of Dc

hero of the war with the Presidency
and repeated it in 1872; and It was the
votes OF October, 1876, and October, 1880
that elevated two Ohio statesmen t.
the Presidential chair. (Applause.) 1t
