BLAINE MAKES A SPEECH.
Before Blaine left the steamer this
morning he held a reception to the
visiting clubs in the ladies' cabin. Ed
ward II. Rartlett made a welcoming
speech on behalf of the clubs, to which
Rlaine made a brief response. Blaine

death of General Sheridan, said

for, to cheaper labor, by which cheaper
labor and cheaper goods will invade
this country from the ole
