presidency is of small account but what he stands
for may be of very great account either in the
way of good or evil The question before the
people of the United States is whether they wish

AT EVANSVILLE.
BELLAIRE, o., Oct. 4.-The comparative tame
ness Of Newark was offset many times over by
the GAINESVILLE people, who seemed wild with
enthusiasm. At the depot the jam was great
that it was difficult in getting to the carriages
and everybody appeared to be cheering and
shouting. The carriage provided for Blaine
was drawn by fourteen gray horses. There
a large escort of mounted plumed knights and
clubs in uniform but the escort of men, women
and children that accompanied the procession
through the streets was far larger and
more impressive. Around the stand were prob
ably 10000 people, SO densely packed that the
local committee of men and police seemed help
less, and two or three of the speakers who were
accompanying Blaine, had to give up the attempt
to'get to the stand. When Mr.. Bagley secre-
tary OF the Muskingum county committee, intro
duced the distinguished visitor there was a great
outburst of wild cheering. As it was
subsiding an Irishman, evidently working man,
attracted great deal of attention by shouting:
"A thousand welcomes Mr. Blaine, thousand
welcomes, sir" Mr.. elaine thanked the people
for their Kind reception, and made brief refer
to the industrial interests of Ohio and of the
country at large presenting the tariff as the chief
issue in the campaign. lie was followed by Hon.
A. w. Tenney. in 4 short speech Mr.. Bagley,
on behalf of the ladies of GAINESVILLE, then pre-
sented beautiful ship of state, made of flowers,
for which Mr.. Blaine returned appropriate
thanks.
AT CAMBRIDGE
AT Cambridge Mr.. Blaine was driven to the
fair ground, where there large meeting.
He was received with great cheering. He re-
turned thanks for the compliment and again
briefly called attention to the tariff question: as
at GAINESVILLE.
There was very large and enthusiastic gath
ering at GAINESVILLE, and here again Mr.. Blaine
spoke briefly of the Importance of the
tariff as an issue in the campaign. At two
or three other points where the train
stopped, between there and Bellaire, the people
gathered around Mr.. Blame, who spoke a few
pleasant words of acknowledgement at each
place. 1t was dark when the train reached Bel
lalre. The little town seemed TO be absolutely
full, and almost every building along the princi-
pal streets were Illuminated with Chinese Ian
terms. The streets, themselves, were well nigh
impossible. The local committee found great
difficulty in getting Mr.. Blaine through the
crowd into the hotel and several members
OF his party who were just behind him were
more than half an hour trying to make their
way in. Tho people crowded the Office and
hallway of the hotel so that the guests could not
pass up or down the stairs to or from their
rooms. The landlord and local authorities ap-
pealed to the crowd to clear the passageways at
least, but they declined to move until Mr.. Blaine
should come out of his room and show himself
and say few words to them. The landlord
having delivered the message Mr.. Blaine
appeared at the head of the stairs and bowed
repeatedly. The people cheered and made gen.
erai rush to shake hands with him, but he held
out his hand too high to be reached from below,
and going through the motion Of shaking hands
said pleasantly:
II thank you, gentlemen, and I beg you to
consider that am shaking hands with each and
every one of you, as 1 should take great pleasure
i'll doing If my hands were not so tired" The
crowd took him at his word and gave three
cheers for Blaine and after that the passage
ways were not obstructed. At about O'Clock
Blaine was escorted to the stand from which he
was to review the procession.
Hon. j. +. Finerty, Gen. Adam King, of Bal
timore, and other Republican speakers were in
Bellaire to fill the appointment is and the town
was given up to fireworks and political oratory
Mr.. Blaine will pass Sunday in Belaire.
