MAssILLoN, O., Oct. S.-Mr Blaine accom-
panied by Hon. William Mckinley and long
line of private carriages, drove over this morn
ing from Canton to Massillon, eight miles. The
scenery between the two places is very beaut-
full, and as the weather was fair the carriage
drive was a refreshing relief from railway travel
Nearly all the houses and stores along the main
street by which Massillon was entered were
beautifully decorated with Blaine and Logan
flags and other Republican emblems, and more
than the whole population of the town seemed to
be out to receive Mr.. Blaine Upon the pro
gramme was procession composed of Repub,
lican clubs and manufacturing operations car
ried on in this part of Ohio. When at little
after IL o'clock, Mr., Blaine appeared upon the
stand from which he was to review the process
sion, the clubs and other organizations were
passing up to the point where they were
to form line, and as they passed near
the stand they cheered for Blaine and
Logan, and Mckinley. Among those on
the stand with Mr.. Blaine were Senator Cullom,
of Illinois; ex-Secretary Window, Hon, VIM
Mckinley and Hon. A W. Tenney, of New
York. While Mr.. Blaine was watching for the
procession many of the people were presented to
him. and many others presented themselves and
insisted on shaking hands with the roxt Presi-
dent, as they called him Among those who
thus approached Mr.. Blaine was an elderly gen
tleman whom he sauted with, Chow are YOU.
Enley; am very glad to see you" Mr. Enley
proved to be an old schoolmate of Mr. Blaine
whom he had not met since 1847. Before noon
and before the procession was ready to move
there was heavy shower, which compelled the
occupants Of the stand to seek shelter and dis
persed the crowd for time.
Shortly after l o'clock the rain ceased and the
clubs mustered again and proceeded to the house
of Mr.. Steese, where Mr.. Blaine had taken
lunch, whence they escorted him again through
the main streets to the fair ground, where he
was to speak The numbers in the streets
seemed to have increased since morning and
the demonstration of the people seemed to be
greater than in the morning. Mr.. Blaine was
escorted to the stand in the midst of the long
continued cheers of 10000 people. The tent
was already packed full, and thousands more
were gathered around il outside. When the
demonstration with which Mr. Blaine was re-
ceived had subsided, he made the following
speech

Laughter and great cheering Thirty five or
forty years ago the entire Western country was
called upon as an agricultural community to op-
posethe protective tariff, because it uniustly fa-
vored the manufacturer of the East. Since tten
the manufacturing industries of the country
have travelled westward, until Ohio has become
of the largest manufacturing States in the
Union lcheers, and combining within herself
great agricultural interest and great maufac-
turing interest she presents all the elements
of comfort and material progress. Steadily as
the agricultural States become settled, manu-
factories follow Indiana Illinois and Michigan
are coming on rapidly after Ohio; Iowa, Kansas
and Minnesota will come along in due time, the
result being that the protective policy now up
held by the Republican party operates so as to
carry manufactures into every State and ulti
mately into every county in the Union. 1t
never was designed that one section of the
country should be permanently agricultural and
the other part manufacturing; but it was de-
signed that agriculture and manufactures should
