come here at this late day in the national cam
paign to argue any question: came merely TO re-
cite historic facts, and let you draw the
differences The protective tariff has found its
steady friend in the Republican party, it has
found its steady foe in the Democratic party.
Under the protective tariff agriculture. manufac
turers and commerce have fourished in an
equal degree, and the question now before the
voters of Wisconsin, the question before the
voters of the nation, is whether that system
shall be abandoned or whether it shall be con-
tinued. The sixteen states of the south will, in
all probability, vote against it. 1t remains to be
seen whether sufficient reinforce
ment be obtained from the north
TO hand over the government to the domination
of the free trade south. And as the Republican
party had its birth in the northwest, we come to
you now for baptism in the original faith,
and for added strength to the prestige to the
party do not believe that Wisconsin, | do not
believe that Illinois, do not believe that Michi-
gan, ! am sure that Ohio, those great component
members of the old northwest territory do not
believe that any of them can ever be induced to
undo the work which they began in 1854 l do
not believe that the free and the free heartsof
the great, free northwest ever be used TO
turn the government of this nation over to the
man who sought its destruction. In that faith L
greet you. In that faith l leave you. In that
faith thank you profoundly for a reception
which is proportional to the granduer of your
empire and the warmth of your hearts.

AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-Blane arrived from Mil
waukee at $50 p. m, considerably earlier than
had been announced AS a consequence very
few persons were the depot TO meet him. The
young Republican club, numbering $500 march
ers, reached the depot before the party entered
carriages, and served as escort to the resi-
dence of Joseph Medill where he dined quietly.
After dinner he proceeded to the Grand Pacific
hotel to take his part in the evenings demon
stratiOn.
The night demons tration affair of un
toward magnitude. Tn conditions proved IA
Vorable for the marchers, a. cear sky and
bracing atmosphere, and uutil late into the night
the down town thOroughfares were alive with the
masses, when it would be only conjecture, ut
best, to attempt to enumerate. Along the ad-
Vertsed line of march Nominations of var
ions sorts, brilliant lines of electric lights,
Chinese lanterns covering the fronts Of entire
business blocks and again stretched high in the
air across the streets. The incessant burning of
the varied colored Greek fire, and the profuse
display of pyrotechncs, accompanied by the
presence of the deep lines OF spectators with
their almost ncessant cheering, combined to
make spectacle only possible in a
great cosmopolitan centre. The procession
began to move shortly before O'Clock, and was
somewhat more than two hours in passing. Its
numbers were augmented by the presence Of
numerous organizations from outside the city.
Incoming trains from all portions of the north
west heavily loaded arriving throughout the day.
The most remarkable spectacle was that pre-
scented ut the east front of the Grand Pacific
hotel from a balcony of which Mr.. Blaine and
his immediate friends were TO view the column.
To the east there il a considerable eXpanse be-
tween the hotel and the custom house building,
and within this space and upon the steps and
balconies of the federal building and stretching
north and south on Clark street closely
hcmmed multitude numbering possibly 20, 600. 1t
occupied the ground which the marching
column was to pass in review and offered an i'm
pregnable front to the approach OF the marchers,
and was beyond any control by the police. When
Mr.. Blaine approached and came TO be recog-
nized there was great roar and only partially
ceased when he uncovered and motiOned with
ais fngei for silence Amid great confusion he
spoke as follows
