CHICAGO, August 13.-At Metide1
0OO people welcomed Blaine. HI
spoke as follows: II beg to thank yor
all for this compliment in greeting me
so cordially. 1 have time only to say
that the Importance of the vote of Con-
necticut has always been, and it is ten
fold more, important this year. II We
can have every Republican voter in
Connecticut fully comprehend and ap-
preciate what the vote of this Safe
may mean, l shall rest content with
the result which your under
standing will bring. Trusting the
votes of November may chronicle
a victory in onnecticut. and as a con-
,euueuce victory to the nation, | re-
turn your greeting with all the cordial
ity VITA which it has been rendered.
At Hartford there was a great crowd.
Mayor Root introduced the travelling
guest, who responded as follows:
LESS than fortnight ago | was in a
country which, according to its arena.
is called the richest in the world-Old
England. A large number of counties
In England have each population
greater than that of the whole state
of Connecticut, butt wish could com.
pare the statistics of Connecticut with
any community of $4,000 people in
England. The comparison would give
q sharp contest, by which the good
people of Connecticut could determine
depressing fleets upon the mass OF
laboring people. You are asked now to
change the tariff system under which
prosperity has been obtained. The
country wishes to hear your answer
on that point, and waits to hear it with
confidence" r,.
AtSpring 6eld the largest assemblage
Of the Cay was in waiting. Among those
who boarded the train to greet Blaine
were Mayor Maynard, ex Governor
Robinson and Elisha Morgan. Blaine
was introduced, and said:
Gcntlenten-It would be sheer vanity
in me TO attribute the assem- blage of
this vast mass of Massachusetts, voters
TO desire to see me. take it rather
as an index of the profound interest
which you feel in the pending contest.
In that worthy and patriotic purpose
am most heartily with you. l
share your feeling bid you
God speed. The national policies
which have strikirgly advanced your
State among the states in the Union,
rbe policy of protection has been the
chief. That poll y is r, resented in his
contest by Harrison and Morton.
You should roll up a majority for
Harrison ana Morton of tens of
thousands and, beyond that, in every
practica ole and proper way you should
help your neighbors in Connecticut
AT the conclusion of B;aine's speech
three cheers were gwen thrice over,
with tiger" appended.
The next stopping place was Worce
ster. Before the city itself was reached,
there were seen from the train throngs
of woIkmen in the immense factories on
pends d work and stood at the factory
windows waiting to see "Blaine's train
psss." When they saw it they
When the depot at Worcester
was reached and Blaine recognized,
on the rear platform, the cheering was
vociferous. DIR. Barden, of the Repub-
llcan State Central Committee Of
Massach sets, performed the cere-
mony of the introduction of MIR.
Blaine, Blaine said; ~ have been
really embarrassed the whole day by
such demonstrations as this. The
crowds have not been so large, but
everywhere welcomes have been heard.
| repeat here Whist said in Sprinfeld,
r hot
this vast assemblage is simply a
personal compliment to me; it is
rather and far more largely an
exhibition of the deep sympathy which
the Republicans i'll Massachusetts have
at stake in the national contest for Har-
rleon and Morton. Massachusetts can
40 much at this contest, and much Is
expected of her. She can lead the way
III the contest which shall lead the Re
publican party to success and insure
firm protective policy to the American
workingmsE. Thanking you personal
ly. gentleme., what this gathering
means to myself, / bid you God speed
and farewell. (Long and continued
cheers). -

not less enthusiastic, gathering awaited

aloft in her e. slIed arms an American
flag wrought of overs, on which was

Mr.. Blaine. The flag, however, was re-
