of Gen. Robinson, for the candidacy Of Gen.
Robinson endorsed by this vast assemblage is the
important prelude TO the national election OF 1884,
and the candidacy of Gen. Robinson, if sustained
by Ohio, goes far 10 settle that contest. You see,
therefore, what your duty is, and it is fortunate
for Ohio that the candidate selected to register
her expression of popular opinion is man
trusted in every civil station, and with enviabe
record as soldier See that the candidate is as
strong as the cause, and no candidate can be
stronger than the Republican cause.
AT BELLEFoNTAINE.
At Bellefontaine there was large crowd They
received Mr.. Blaine very demonstratively, and he
spoke few words of thanks, disclaiming the
honor for himself and attributing the enthusiasm
of the people to their interest in the Republican
cause.
AT URBANA.
There was fine demonstration at Urbana. Mr..
Blaine was escorted in a carriage by large body
of plumed knights, some on foot and some Oh
horseback. a novel feature of this escort was {
troupe of mounted ladies wearing white plumes

forenoon and large meeting had been addressed
! i'll the afternoon by Senator sherman. Many
Thousand people assembled around

Mr. Blaine was driven. His appearance on the
stage called forth an outburst of deafenng
|
been introduced by Mr.. Warnett, chairman of the
local committee, he stood for some second;
viewing the stirring scene. and then said;
1.-The most important act Of the old confedera-
ton after the original thirteen states had acquired
their independen e was the formation of the
northwest territory, piousy dedicated to free la
Dor by the wise statesmen OF the revolution
| From 1877 that territory, divided among five
great states of which Ohio is the Oldest, has been
the abode of an industrious, honest, intelligent
population. They have maintained liberty anc
civil government, and have acquire .reat
| wealth see before me q vast assemblage b: those
who we're born on the soil of that territory, and
/ wish TO call their attention TO this
fact, that Of all the great wealth it now repre-
sents, much the larger portion has been produced
and acquired since the Republican party came
into power in 1861. That wealth has been pro
duced and acquired under the influence o. wise
and substantial system, and under the encourage
1nent of protective tariff. And to the five
states carved ont OF that northwest territory il
now in peculiar and emphatic sense remandeS
the question whether the financial and industrial
system shall be maintained Ohio is the first Il
speak, and the nation awaits her voice.
AT SPRINGFIELD.
t5:15 the train arrived at Springfield Thi
is largely manufacturing town, and all th
shops had closed order to give the working
men an opportunity to see Mr.. Blaine. AS sool
1
saw him they cheered and shouted ant
made all kinds of uproarious demonstrations
1t was with difficulty he was got into the carri
age and driven around through the city. Thel
he was brought back to stand near the depo
and here the cheering was as great as before
Within few minutes of his appearance upol
the stand he looked out upon fully 20, 600 people
Being introduced by Mr.. b. II. Warder, tn
chairman of the meeting, Mr.. Blaine said:
81 have the pleasure of addressing a commu
nifty peculiarly devoted to manufacturing,
community deeply interested in the industria
system Of the United States, a communit.
especially allied with the agricultural develop
ment of the United States. You manufactur
a great variety and great number of agricul
tural implements. But for the ingenious i'm
plements which you turn out the wheat crop 0
the United States could not be harvested. Tha
wheat crop is so immense that its harvest be
gins in Texas in May, and proceeds northward a
the rate of eleven miles per day, and winds up i
September on our northern border, running 70
more than 100 days at about II miles per day
Now do you think it good policy to have thes
agricultural implements imported from abroad
or do you prefer TO make them at home? Well
my friends, there is policy of government
that encourages their manufacture at home, an
there is another that woGld sent
their manufacture abroad. This latter polio
would force great numbers now engaged i
manufacturing to turn farmers, and he woul
production, decreasing consumption at home
and necessarily reducing the profits Of agricu
; ture. lou have the opportunity al the approach
ing election to tell which policy you think bes
and do not believe that you need any instruC
ton from to your interest your duty.
