West Virginia.
Remarkable Exhibition OF Enthusiasm
in tho First Named statc--The
Kind OF Speeches they
Have Made.


gan throngh Ohio has been continued
ovation. AT every railroad village and
hamlet through which they passed they
were met by enthusiastic multitudes
who greeted them with cheers
and words of hearty welcome.
At nearly every place they
were compelled to personally receive
their admirers and indulge in hand
shaking civilities. These demands upon
their time and energies have been so
numerous as almost to preclude extend
ed speech-making. Indeed. from the time
they entered the State their remarks
were very brief, and mainly confined to
complimentary personal and local al
lusions, with very little of the distinct
lively political element in them.
The following is the substance OF
what Mr.. Blaine said at Newark. Ohio:

OF course il is understood that polite
nj etiquette forbids extended remarks
by Presidential candidate, although
the restriction does not apply so en-
phatically to the Vice-fresidential
candidate. The trip was mainly under
taken to allow the candidates to person
ally meet and greet their admirers. The
trip was an undoubted success and will
doubtless prove potential factor in
securing the victory which is indicated
in November.
GENERAL LOGAN AT DAYTON.
On the evening of October 8, General
Logan made an exceedingly vigorous
speech at Dayton. After referring to
the need of protection and the peoples
resolve TO have free ballot and fair
count he said:
