CHLLlCoTHE, Oct. 10.-Mr. Blaine left Col
umbus by special train on the Scioto Valley road
at 10 thi s forenoon. Mr.. Hanna, Of the state
committee, left the party, and ex-Gov. Foster
took charge. The first stop was
AT CIRCLEvuLE,
where there was large gathering in front of
the court house. Mr.. Blaine was received in the
enthusiastic manner that has now become mat
ter of course on this tour. He was introduced
by Judge Smith, of Circleville, and spoke as fol
lows:
ST to be observed by an entire continent be
source of pride the people of Ohio should be very
proud to-day, because the eyes of every state in
the union are upon them, and the action OF the
people of Ohio on Tuesday next is awaited with
deep solicitude throughout the length and
breadth of the nation. Left as the only
state that votes in October, the average degree
of Republican zeal in the country is to be tested
by your vote, and your vote will be taken as an
index to the vote OF November. Ny only mis-
sion therefore is to urge upon you the Importance
of your action on Tuesday next and to ask you
if you are ready for it. For the first time
in forty years, the first time since 1884, when
Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Polk were the nominees of the
two great parties, the tariff for protection be-
comes from the very first day of the campaign a
subject for popular discussion. That discussion
is we'll nigh closed, and the question is to be
submitted to a jury of 800, 900 voters in your
state, as that jury decide may be the fate of the
protective tariff in this country for generation
II IS too late now TO go into elaboration of argu
ment. Action is the word now. Action is your
dIty. L refrain, therefore, from doing more
than to remind you that in all the critical
elections in the past, except the
critical elections Of 1863 and and 1894, never
has more weighty or far reaching responsibility
devoived upon the soil of Ohio than that which
| they will meet on Tuesday next, and meeting
which 1 hope and believe they will fully and
faithfully discharge th9ir duty.
AT CHILLIcoTHE
PORTSMOUTH, O., Oct. 1O.-The reception at
Chillicothe was elaborate and artistic. The ap-
! proach to the stand was through an avenue be-
| tween parallel lines of uniformed horsemen. At
| the upper end of this avenue there were two
rows OF girls dressed in white, representing the
states of the Union, and holding up a series
! Of green arches beneath which Mr.
Blaine passed. Upon the stand there were three
smaller girls representing blaine, Vermont and
| Ohio. Chiliicothe was settled by Virginians, and
indications of the origin of the town were seen
| in the unusual number of horsemen and OF ne
! groes taking part in the procession, Gen. Sam'l
| H. Hurst made brief and exceptionally good in
| troductory speech, and the people received Mr.
Blaine with every demonstration of enthusiasm.
! When he got an opportunity to speak he said
From my school days 1 have been familiar
with the Scioto valley, and have heard much of
the rich lands OF Paint creek. 1 am glad to see
their inhabitants before me- l am glad to see
| before me this great representation of the rich
agricultural portion of Ohio. / glad to recall
| TO their minds this morning the duty which the
nation expects of them on Tuesday next. Your
chairman has been pleased to refer to the six
great contests in which the Republican party
has been victorious. In the first presidential
| contest in which the Republican party was
| engaged, it was the vote OF Ohio that gave
strength to the legions that followed the gallant
! young Fremont. 1t was the vote of Ohio in
October, 1850, that in large part secured Mr..
! Lincolns election. 1t was the vote of Ohio in
1854 that secured the great victory to loyalty
| aud the Union on the OF civil war Il was
the vote in October, 1863 that awarded the great
hero Of the war with the presidency, and re-
peated il in 1872, and it the votes of October
1876. and October, 1880, that elevated two OHIO
statesmen to the presidential chair 1t
| remains to De seen whether the
! great legions of Republlcanism whether
the great clans that have gathered upon the
plains ana in the valleys of Ohio shall now be
wOrsted in the encounter of Tuesday nsxt
| Whether in this seventh conflict for the great
principles OF great party you will maintain
your splendid record of twenty-eieht years 1t
IS too late for argument, that has been exhausted
1t is too late even for the appeal that has been
addressed to you, and there remains Only your
own sense Of duty and your own loyal deter1ni-
nation. thank you for your kind greeting and
commend you with all yonr eneigiel to the duty
of Tuesday next. At 40 the train arrived at
