lie Says the Republicans Have Dis
tinct Issue-"YOur Duty in the
Campaign"
The Show Goes on.


MANSFIELD, O., October9.-Short stops
we're made at Shreye and Perrysville.
Mr.. Blaine spoke a few words at each
place, thanking the people for the kind
reception they gave him and presenting
the tariff as the great issue. At 40 the
train arrived at Mansfield the home of
Senator Sherman.
COLUMBUS, o., October 9.-There were
but few people at the depot at Mans
field; but there were several thousand
assembled in the square in the heart of
the town, to which Blaine was escorted
in the usual manner Hedges, Republi-
can candidate for Congress, having in
PRODUCED him as the next President OF
the United States, Blaine said: object
to my friend introducing mein thatway.
We Will talk about that after Tuesday
next. (CheerS.) But l see good augur-
les for Tuesday, in the fact that the peo-
pie Of Ohio seem to BE thoroughly
aroused. (Cheers.) In all my political
experience | have never seen people APP
parently more thoroughly awake to
their duty than tlie people Of DINO seem
to be at this time. Your duty IN the
campaign Is exceptionally important;
| YOU have both your own immediate
/ duty and vicaTiOus duty; you are 10
| vote on Tuesday next not only for your
selves, but for the whole United States.
| You are to set a mark for the RepubH-
can high tide. (Cheers). 1 confess L
! have great confidence in the vote OF
Ohio, for since the election OF Salmon
| 2 Chase, as Governor OF your State,
in 1855, l have never known year
when Ohio was aroused that she did
.lnot give q Republican majority.
t(Cheers.) You have never had q more
! distinct issue than you have this year.
! There has never been more clear-cut
| division between parties at the begin
ming of q political campaign. 4 great
many issues are in the peoples mind,
but as the contest grows serious they
begin to eliminate incidental points and
finally, as the parties converge and
come face to face, there Is always one
great Oyershadowing issue that con-
trolls the multitude Of voters. l assume
that the issue the present year IS
a protective tariff, and l am sure
there is not State in the Union
that has profited more under pro-
tective system, or that is more deeply
Interested in its maintenance, than
Ohio. dCheeFs.) That being the case
and with the further condition. that
Ohio ranks as high IL intelligence as any
State in the Union, it cannot be doubted
that YOU will see your way clear to pro-
tect and maintain your own interests.
do not stop to argue other questions
III do not stop even to dwell
for 4 moment on acknowledgements
of the Republican party or what
lit has done for the Union, for the cause
of free government, for the cause OF
human liberty. l do not dwell or
these, because l do not choose to divert
YOUR minds even for moment from
fthe one overpowering and overwhelm
4 ing issue that should engage your whole
attention until after Tuesday next
(Cheers.) And r., espeeially shoule
it engage your attention in your
Congressional districts. Col. BOyntor
used to say in argument wher
he got very close to point, that ne haC
his "knife on the nerve" When yOr
vote for representatives in Congress
YOUR votes are reaching the very nerve
of all questions relating TO our indus
trial system, including the protective
tariff, because it is through your repre-
sentatives in Congress that you mak'
YOUR will primarily and lmpreSsively
understood and felt. This is q tow
which I have long desired to visit.
have enjoyed friendship that goe

your distinguished fellow citizen
Senator Sherman, and l have 1onl

/. constituents and friends. L thank yol
for this kind reception and bid yol

d At Crestline there was a large Grove
