 TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 23.-Mr. Blaine left Evansville at 8:30 a. 1n., having before him long ride to Lafayette. The first stop was at Sullivan, a small station where there were about two thousand assembled. MT.
 Blaine made short speech and was received in the usual enthusiastic manner. At Terre Haute there was a great demonstration. As the train came into the city the steam whis- ties on the factories and on the locomotives sounded a welcome and when it reached the depot the crowd received MT. Blaine with wild cheering. He was escorted by the re- ceptien committee, headed by the Mayor, to a carriage and driven in procession through the crowded city for about an hour. Upon returning to the depot he made short speech in which he drew a distinction be- tween the new and old South The new was seeking the industrial development of that section and laboring to lead it's people away from the prejudice of the past. The old was prejudiced bitterly to the lost cause, narrow of vision and incapable of taking in the sweeps and the magnitude of our great fu-
 ture This old South constituted, he said,
 the main element of strength in the Demo
 cratic party and was now striving and hoping
 with the aid of Indiana and New York to
 get control of the national government and
 it was for the people of those States to say
 whether they were prepared to hand over the
 government to that element.
 SPRINGFIELD, H., Oct. 23.-Generals Lo- gan and Cullom and Governor Hamilton with about one hundred prominent Republicans left here tonight for Lafayette to meet Mir. Blaine and escort him to Springfield to-mor- row. Several stops will be made on the way back, the party reaching this city about 1 o'clock Preparations are being made for a grand reception.
 LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct 23.-Hon. James G. Blaine and party arrived at 5:20 o'clock this evening. They were met by a reception committee of some two hundred or three hundred business men and the various politi- cal drum corps with bands and escorted through the streets. It was nearly 6 o'clock when he appeared on the open-air stand and faced his audience of many thousands of peo- pie. He began by saying that Indiana for thirty years had been a source of concern and anxiety to both parties. But it's importance and significance was never greater than to-day. Democrats claimed possession of the southern States and were now aiming to capture the electoral vote of New York and Indiana. Re- ferring to the South, he said there were two Souths, a new South with spirit of prog ress looking to better things and determined upon liberal principles. Every member of the new South was with the Republican par ty actively working for it's success. There was an old South representing the spirit of rebellion, full of bitterness and all manner of ! uncharitableness, that deprives voters of their right, that is determined to get even with the North for it's victory, and this old South I is unanimously Democratic. The old South is looking to Indiana as ally in this com ing election, but the speaker expressed the opinion that it will not get it. The old South is in control would introduce an era of revenge, an era that would endanger the ' national credit, that would en- danger the national pension o1 our soldiers, that would endangel the system of protective tariff to our indus | tries. The old South was at enmity witf | the progress and welfare of the government [ and he called upon the loyal men of Indiana | to remember these facts and to stand as one | man against permitting that old South to gel | control of the government. In the evening ! there was grand torchlight procession witt ! speeches by Senator Harrison and others.
