MANSFIELD, o.. Oct. 9.-Shayt steps
were made at Shreve and Perrysyllle.
Blaine spoke few words at each pl zoe,
thanking the people for the kind 70
eeption they gave him, and presenting
the tariff "a the great issue. At l:30
the train arrived At Mansfield, the home
of John Sherm IN.
COLUMBUS, o., DOT. 9.-Thers were
but few people at tine depot 1T Mans
field. but there were several thousand
assembled in the square III the heart of
the town, TO which Blaine WAS escorted
IN the usnal manner. Hedges, the Re
publican candidate for Congress, hav-
ing introduced him "a the next Presi-
dent of the United States, Blaine
said: g object To my friesd intro
ducing me in that way. We will talk
about that after Tuesday next but
see good auQuries for Tuesday In fact,
that the people of Ohio seem TO be
thoroughly aroused. fCheers la all
my political experience | have never
seen people apparently more thoroughly
awake u their duty than the people of
Ohio seem 10 Do at this time.
Your duty In this campaign is excsp
tionally important. You have both
your own immediate duty and vicari-
Gus duty. You are TO vote on tuesday
next, not only for yourselves but for
the whole United States. You are to
act the mark for Republle4a high tide
lCheers.l confess shat ! have great
confidence ia the vete of Ohio,
for since the election of Salmon p
Chase "a Governor of your State in
1855, | have never known year when
Ohio was aroused that she did not
give Republican majority. Cheers. /
You have never had before you more
distinct issue than you have this year.
There has never been more clear cut
division between ths parties. At the
beginning of political campaign a
great MANY issues are in the peoples
minds, but as the contest grows serious
they begin to eliminate incidental points,
and finally, rs the parties converge ana
come face to face. there Is always one
great overshadowinR issue that controls
multitude OF voters. l assure you
that that issue in the present year Is the
protective tariff, and | am sure that
there IL not state in the Union which
has profitsd more under the protective
system, or that is more deeply inter
ested in its maintenance, than Ohio
lCheere. That being the CASE, and
with the further condition that OHIO
ranks AS high ~ intelligence as any in
the Union. IL cannot be- doubted that
yon will see your way clear to protect
and maintain your own interest. | do
not stop to argue other questions. |
do not stop even to dwell for u moment
on the achievements of the Republican
party or what IL has done for the Union.
for the cause of free government, for
the cause of human liberty. do not
dwell on these because | do not choose
10 divert yoar minds even for "A Homent
from the overpowering and overwheim-
ing issue that should engage your whole
attention until after Tuesday mex,
Icheers and especially should it tn
gage your attention IN your Congress
sional district. Colonel B0ynton used
to say IN argument. when he got very
close 10 the point. that be had his knife
on the nerve" When you vote for repre-
sentatives In Congress, your votes are
reaching every nerve of all questions
relating 10 our industrial system, in
GLIDING the protective tariff. because 1t
IL through your representatives in Con
gress that you make your will primarily,
distinctly, and impressively understood
aud felt. This il a town which | have
long desired to visit. have enjoyed
friendship which goes back almost into
hoyhood days, With your distinguished
fellow citizen, Senator Sherman, aud |
have long desired TO stand before his
niRhbsrs and friends. thank You for
this kind reception, and bid you good
by.
At Cressline there was large crowd
around the depot, and Blaine spoke
briefly from platform built out from
the second story of the building. He
spoke of the great Importance of the
State election in October, because of its
bearing upon the National election and
upon tariff legislation IN the next Con
gress. At Mount Gilead ex Governor
Foster joined the party again. Here
Blaine left the train To attend the Nor
row County Fair, 20 which he had been
invited by the managers. There were
fully 1900 people arouud the fair
grounds. Governor Foster introduced
Blaine, who spoke briefly from the
judges stand.
Delaware was reached just before dark,
and considering the size of the place,
the reception here was phenomenal.
The streets were crowded and the en-
thusiasm of the people WAS as remark

was received had subsidized, he returned
