accompanied by his sons, Walker and Emmons,
together with Mr. Joseph Medill, having passed
the night at the residence of the latter gentle
man. A crowd numbering 1000 awaited Mr..
BLAINE arrival, and it was boisterously enthu-
siastic, so much so that it compelled him to sp-
pear on the platform of the coach Of the
special tran where he said:
| thank you very sincerely for this demonstra-
ton. 1t adds another to the many welcomes
have received in your city, and
at no time could it be more

KENosHA, Wis, Oct 25.-At Waukegon Mr.
Blaine left the train and went to platform near
the station, where There was large crowd. A.
NJ. Jones, chairman of the Illinois state central
who would receive the electoral ipte OF every
northern state, announcement which was re-
ceived with cheers. Mr.. Blaine said it was
very pleasant to be transferred from contested
states, doubtful localities TO u state that is full
of enthusiasm and certainty. Illinois is one Of
the great reserves Of the great Republican party.
Illinois gave TO the country its first Republican
president and has never since failed To maintain
the lead in the great northwest i, therefore do
not speak to you this morning as belonging TO a
state that ever has, or can be- classed as doubt
full and stop only for moment to thank you
for your kindly greeting and to congratulate you
in the assured victory in Illinois. As to the
largest victory of which the chairman OF your
state committee so confidently speaks, hope
that his prediction may be verified but we shall
know more about that on the evening Of the 9TH
of November.
The first place in Wisconsin at which the train
stopped was reached after II. Here again
Mr. Blaine left the train, when he appeared on
| the stand he was received with loud cheering.
He spoke briefly presenting the protective tariff
as the great controlling issue of the campaign
He said:
Formerly the enemies of the protective tariff
sought TO excite prejudice against it upon the
ground that IL was for the benefit of the east
bnt not Of the west. Butt think that during the
twenty-three years that that system has existed
in this country the development of wealth
has progressed in far greater degree in the
west than in the east, and inst as manufactur-
ing Industries move westward, the price of land
rises. 1t is higher in Pennsylvania than in
Ohio, and higher in Ohio than Indiana, and all
three of these states the value of land has in
creased in proportion to the growth of manufac-
tuners, and the prosperity of the farmers has in
creased with it.
When Blaine retired he was given three hearty
cheers.

TO subside, when he said
