RLAISE ARRIVES IN CHICAGO
CHICAGO, October 17th.-Blaine and his party
arrived in Chicago at o'clock this evening
The train left the 1ippecauoe battle-ground at
$40 P. NJ, nearly an hour late. 1t was not gen
orally known there that he would leave so
early, but his throat trouble caused change of
parture for Chicago. At the request of Blaine
the railroad officials did not permit their en-
ployes to telegraph along the line that Blaine
was en- route, and as consequence the trip was
a quiet and uneventful one.
Blaine's general health seems to be excellent
but the slight cold which he contracted last
night affects the vocal chords and prevents ut
terance above a low conversational tone of
voice. He anticipates that he viii be in excel
lent voice by Saturday, when he speaks in this
city. Shortly alter he reached the Grand Paci-
fic Hotel the Blaine Club, i'll their handsome
past the hotel and serenaded the man from
Maine.
