went Wild, and cheers were echoed back
by thousands outside.
II Is estimated that there were q, 600 per-

attempted To get IN.

sounced that Blaine's voice would not per
nit hin to make speech o-day; that his
general health was good. but his throat
was again troubling him, and he must be
excused Blaine again came forward aud
received another ovation. The confusion,
however, was so great that he did not at
tempt TO say word. He moved his hand

silent. but the cheers and confusion cen
tinued and Blaine soon retired to his car.

The train left the battle ground at $40
nearly an hour late. Ii was not generally
known ~ the battle-ground that Blaine
would leave so early, but his throat
trouble caused 9 change of programme
and was the reason for hIs early departure
for Chicago. At the request of Blaine. the
officials of the Noaon hne did not permit
their employees 10 telegraph along the line
that Blaine was en- route, and as a eonse-
quenee the tfip was aAuiet and unevent-
lul one.
Mr.. Blaine's general health seems to be
excellent, but the slight cold which he
contracted last night effects the vocal
chords and prevents utterance above low
conversational tone. lie anticipates that
he viii be in excellent voice by Saturday
when he speaks in this city.
