BLATNE's SPEECH.
"Citizens of Chautauqua county:-Though
it has been my fortune in each of my visits to
jamestown to encounter storm, left before,
as / leave now, with the absolute assurance
that you are not dry weather republicans,
Cneersb and that you can stand Storm
["We can, we cin," and cheersl The
national contest draws to close,
and while l do not propose
to detain you with speech, l state consecu-
lively as 1 may, three or four propositions.
In the first place, the great closing issue is
whether we shall continue the policy of
protection or break down and resort to free
trade. Keep protection. Keep it If you
want protection continued my next prop,-
sition is that you should entrust tnat
work to the republican party, which has been
persistently and constantly in favor of
That policy and not to the democratic
party, which has been consistently and per-
sittently in favor of free trade (cheers); and
my third proposition is that the democratic
seeks now, rs it has sought ever since the war,
to capture the national government by uniting
the electoral vot in the north with the solid
south, and New York is one of the states in
which its efforts are to be made. New York
is asked to turn her back upon all the great
memories, and the great record of her own
history and unite with the south. Never u
] know that you will not DO it. The contest
in behalf of protective tariff and the con-
t. st against giving the south, with its free
| trade theories, the control of the government
believe you are ready. ["Ies" "Ees! j
umph? reyes, "Yes," and cheers. Do you
fully realizs your responsibility? [''We do"
@ equal to- to your responsibility, and
your confidence? ('Yes, yes" and great
cheers Then you have nothing to fear.
General cries of GO on go on Gentlemen,
western New York has the res J. Of the ma
tional contest largely in its keeping, and it is
upon the loyalty, the courage, the determina-
| tion and the number of the republicans of
| western New York that the whole north
| relies to-day, feeling confident that, ~ in
past contests, you held aloft the banner of the
Union, you will do the Same now in crisis
not less grave than those in which you always
acted so patriotically aud so firmly" Great
cheering From this stand Blaine was driven
to the depot, where at noon he left by special
train for New York.
At Randolph, small station, there was
considerable gathering. Blaine spoke few
words in acknowledgment of the reception
given him and Senator Miller spoke briefly ON
the issues OF the campaign.
AT Salamanca, N. Y, Blaine spoke as fol-
lows:

question OF protective tariff on the one side
against free trade on the othe side. Some rs
publicans in the state of New York have left
