publicans of jamestown and vicinity
gave Mr.. Blaine an enthusiastic recep-

erected in front of the Humphrey house
and all the available space was occupied
before the procession, escorting Blaine,
arrived. Ex-Governor Fenton introduced
Blaine and in the course of his remarks
he reminded the people that some years
ago he had predicted the nomination of

to the year. Applause and laughter.
When the cheers with which Blaine was
received had subsidized, he said: "CItl-

to jamestown to encounter storm, l left

assurance that you are not dry weather

and consistently in favor of that policy,
and not to the Democratic party, which
has been consistently ana persistently in
favor of free trade. Cheers. And my
third proposition is that the Democratic
