got chance he said:
| am very glad to have an opportunity this
forenoon as l am about to depart from your
city to express to so many people of Indian
apolis the great obligation 1 feel, the great
thankfulnesf 1 offer for the magnificent
reception offered to me here,
yesterday. 1t is one of the events of my
life, and will be cherished in my remem-
brance as long as life lasts.
There were small crowds at every little
station, but the first large meeting was at
Martinsvlle, twenty miles from Indianapolis
Here there were elaborate preparations to
receive Blaine. He was conducted to a stand
through an avenue guarded on each side by
little girls dressed in white, who strewed

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Oct. 22.-The route to-
day was through a less densely populated
portion of the state and the crowds generally
were not so large a those yesterday, but they
were still very large. and as eager as possible.
Some of the stops were longer than the pro-
gramme contemplated, and it was almost
dark when the train arrived at Evansville.
The reception here was the one at Indian
apolis over again, perhaps not quite so large,
but even more enthusiastic. Mr.. Blaine
was driven across the city
through the main street accompa-

stand he was introduced by Mr.. D. B. Mum
Ter, and when order was restored he made

that l consider myself to be the
basis of a sound and wise foreign
policy We seek no intervention in the
struggles and contentious of European gov
ernments, but we do seek expansion of trade
with our nelghborS, and as the perQuisite
thereto we seek friendly and peaceful rela-
tons with all the countries of North and
South America. We seek more than that we
desire not only to be peaceful and friendly
with these nations but we desire that they
shall be peaceful and friendly with each other.
l confess l can imagine no more
impressive spectacle than would be presen ted
by all the nations of the new world meeting
in the capital of the..great republic and SOL
EMMY agreeing that as between themselves
war shall cease, and that every difficulty that
may arise shall be submitted to impartial
arbitratiOns for just and friendly settlement
Almost every republic of North and South
America has indicated its desire to meet in
such congress in the city
of Washington, and every in
stinct OF justice, every consideration
of philosophy, every teaching OF Christianity
suggests that such a congress should be held
though it would embrace in its membership
only the nations of America, it could not
fail of success in its great design to affect
favorably the public opinion of the world.
l confess should wish no prouder distinc-
ton for the United States of America than
to instigate movement that might in the
wide sweep of its benefcient influence in
corporate the principles of friendly
arbitration as permanent part
of the international code of
the wor ID Without further intermeddling
in the affairs of other nations, we can exert
upon them the influence of lofty example,
and commend to them policy based on the
eternal principles of justice.
