Mr.. Blaine. accompanied by Emery Storrs,
ex-senator Bruce. ex-Gow. Foster, Senator
Plumb. and others, left Toledo for Cincinnati
on the morning of Tuesday, the 3Oth alt. The
train stopped at Tiffin where large crowd had
gathered about the depot, and the Republican
candidate spoke as follows:
when / was a schoolboy In Southern Ohio,
forty three years ago, thisportion OF the country
presented very different appearance from what
Il presents to-day. Those forty three years
have been divided between Democratic rule
and Republican rule. and leave the voters OF
Northwestern Ohio to say under which there has
been more rapid progress, not only in this sec,
State. and, leaving you that subject To mediate
upon, 1 leave YOU the whole controversy of 1884.
thank ycu for this magnificent reception I
see in the assembage evidences of peace, plenty,
and prosperity, such as are rarely equaled any
where in the world and never surpassed. 1t Is
in your own hands to say whether we shall en-
ter upon series OF doubtful and dangerous ex-
periments
Speeches were also made by Messrs, Bruce
and Storrs.
At Kenton, the home OF Gen. Robinson, Re-
publican candidate for Secretary OF state, MIR.
Blaine was introduced to the crowd and said:
Il am very glad to be welcomed in the home
of Gen. Robinson, for the candidacy of Gen.
Robinson, Endorsed by this vast assem- blage, is
an important prelude to the national election
OF 1884 and the candidacy of Gen. Robinson. If
sustained by Ohio goes far to settle that con-
test You see, therefore, what YOUR duty is, and
IL is fortunate for Ohio that the candidate Sc
lected to register her expression of popular
opinion IL a man trusted In every civil station,
and with an enviable record q soldier. SO
that the candidate b n strong rs the cause, and
no candidate can be stronger than the Republic
can cause"

AT Springfield. where all the workshops had
been closed to enable the workmen to see the
cand date MIR. Blaine spoke for a few minutes
combining his remarks solely to the tariff issue.
II was late in the evening when the train
reached Dayton, where large crowd had
gathered to welcome the Republican candidate.
He was received with loud cheers, and spoke as
follows:
the reach Of the human voice. man might
just IA well stand at the tip-end OF Cape Race
and address the Atlantic Ocean in storm.
But the effect OF this grand spectacle Is
more eloquently than words for the Republican
cause. When i left home l heard That Ohio
lacked enthusiasm. IL this be lack of enthu-
siasm. would like TO see you genuinely stirred
up. This is n campaign of businessmen, OF the
manufacturer. of the mechanic, of the farmer
n short. OF every one who has a dollar TO earn
a dollar TO save. IL Is campaign intended
=. give protection to American labor a cam
paign for America and not Tor any other coun-
try. believe in that kind of a campaign. The
voice of the state of Ohio cannot and will not
be,doubtful. In that belief / leave it to you,
and b.l YOU cordial adieu.

Citizens OF Ohio, IL Is now forty years since
the question Of protective tariff engaged the
attention of the American people a. profoundly
as 10 does to-day. IL was In the contest between
Mr.. Clay and Mr. Polk in 1874 that the great ma
tional debate on the question took pla, o and the
protective tariff was defeated, not by the popular
vote, but by the bad faith or the party which
