BUFFALO, Sept. 25-At Geneva a
| 81 luIe was fred as the train contain
ing Mr.. Blaine and party came up to
the station, and in few minutes seve-
raj Thousand persons were gathered
at the rear of the train. Among them
we're a body of enthusiastic plumed
knights. Mr.. Blaine, after being in
troduced by a namesake, M. f. Blaine,
Of Geneva, briefly thanked the people
for their kind reception.
1t was intended that the train should
stop at Phelps, but there WAS q crowd
at the depot, and Mr.. Blaine had to
show himself. He was loudly cheered.
He merely bowed his thanks.
At Clifton the train stopped few
minutes, and Mr.. Blaine, appearing on
the rear platform spoke a few words Of
bouquet was handed up bearing the
inscription, From the ladies Of the
Sanitarum at Clifton Springs, with
best wishes and earnest hope that he

Al Canandaigua there was large
crowd. Senator Lapham introduced
Mr.. Blaine. who said
al am greatly obliged TO my old
fr lend, Judge Lapham, for his kind

vast assem- mblage for the compliment
they pay me as am passing through
the beautiful town which is famed TAR
beyond its borders, and is looked upon.
as one of the chiefjewels in this expanse
of beauty which Western New York
presents. [Arplause.]
No one who journeys through your.
country as have journeyed to day can
fail to be impressed with the splendid
l
telligent people enjoying the blessings
of free governmen land If there be any
where on the footstool of God q people
more blessed in basket and store than
you are, l know not where to locate
them. To be received SO kindly by q
people thus blessed Is one of the chief
compliments of my life, and now bid
lyou a cordial and grateful FAREWELL
Cheering.
Mr.. Blaine received great ovation
in Rochester. The uniformed clubs,
some mounted, but most of them on
foot, extended in line for three-quar-
ters OF a mile along the way to the stand
erected on the Court House steps.
The old Osborne House was crowded
with people looking out upon the pro.
cession and saluting as it passed. So,
too, was the famous Powers block, as
we'll as every building along the route.
1t was fortunate that arrangements had
been made for Mr.. Blaine and his
friends to reach the stand by way of
the rear of the Court House, for 1t would
have been almost impossible to make .
passage way through the dense crowds
in front.
AS soon as Mr.. Blaine had got upon
the stand the colored jubilee singers, of
Fisk University, Tennessee, sang one
Of their songs, which was loudly ap.
plauded. Mr.. Burritt, the chairman
Of the Monroe County Central Commit.
tee, introduced Mr.. Blaine, who was
received with tremendous cheering.
When order was restored Mr.. Blaine
said am sure that no desire to offer
a personal compliment to any living
, man could have brought this vast audi.
ence together, and have noe the vanity
to accept it as offered to myself, indi-
viduaTly. 1t is rather the tx xpression of
this great assemblage OF people of
!. Western New York of their confidence
in these principles which have brought
prosperity TO our country, aud have
builded your own beautiful city as one
.. of the exemplars and illustrations of
that prosperity. The Repu bli lean party
: embodies in its creed four distinct and
'. important doctrines. Fist, Peace with
the whole world. Second, Comm -rc ial
expansion in every practical direction.
Third, encouragement of every form OF
American industry. [Enthus astic ap
