"Less than u fortnight ago was In tht
country which, according to the area
is called the richest in the world-OlC
England. A large number OF the coun
ties in England have each u population
greater than that Of the whole State o.
! Connecticut. But | wish could com
pare the statistics OF Connecticut with
any community of 10000 in England,
The comparison would give a sharp test
by which the good people Of Connecti'
cut could determine the depressing
effects Of Free Trade upon the mass oi
laboring men. As Isaid in New Haven,
| don't believe that the sun shines
upon people more prosperous In every
respect than the people Of Connecticut.
You are asked now TO change the tariff
system under which the prosperity has
been attained. A voice: ave shall
never do oitwl The country wishes to
hear your answer upon that point, and
awaits to hear it with confidence.
[Cheering.l | thank you for your very
generous welcome, and rs ! am on an
express train which must not delay,
have time only to say goodbye" Loud
cheeringl.
AT SPRINGFIELD.
At Springfield the largest assemblage
ofthe day was In waiting for Mr.. Blaines
train. Amopg those who boarded the
train to greet Mr.. Blaine were Mayor
Maynard, OF Springfield, u Democrat
x.aoVernor Robinson and Elisha Nor
gan. Mr.. Morgan introduced Mr.. Blaine,
who said:
"Gentlemen it would be sheer vanity
in me to attribute the assembling OF this
vast mass OF Massachusetts voters to a
desire to meet me. l take it rather in
the pending contest. take it rather us
an indication that great as the Republi-
can majorities have been in Massachu-
setts, you intend to make the majority
OF 1888 still greater Loud cheers.]
At the conclusion OF Mr.. BlaIne's
speech three cheers were given thrice
over with the "tiger' appendix.
wORKINGMEN CHEER HIN.
The next stopping place was Worces-
ter Before the city itself was reached,
there we're seen from the train thrOngs
of workmen in the numerous factories
on either side OF the railroad, who had
suspended work and stood At the factory
windows waiting for Mr.. Blaines train to
pass. When they saw it, they waved
their hands and cheered,
DR.. Burden, OF the Republican State
Committee OF Massachusetts, performed
the ceremony of introduction in aneat
speech.
Mr.. Blaine spoke thus:
~ have been really embarrassed the
whole day by such demonstrations as
this. am not vain enough to suppose
that this vast assembIage is simply q
personal compliment to myself. It is
rather, and far more largely, an exhibi-
ton OF the deep sympathy which the
Republicans OF Massachusetts have in the
pending National contest for Harrison
and Morton. [Cheers.l Massachusetts,
can do much in this contest, voice
ave will"1 and much is expected Of
her. She can lead the way in contest
which shall restore the Republican party
to national power and insure the per-
mancnCe OF a sound protection policy to
the laborers OF the United States"
A GRAND RECEPTION AT HosTQN,
On alighting from the train at Boston
Mr.. Blaine was conducted to an open
barouche and DR.. Burden, Chairman OF
the Republican State Committee, took II
seat beside him. The four horses attach
en- were driven slowly along the streets
to the Ventlome Hotel. Mr.. Blaine ap.
peared tired and worn out. The party
arrived at the hotel at 6:35 o'clock. From
that hour on to 0 o'clock people gather.
ed until 10000 were about the hotel
balcony. There vas q band OF music, fire
works and cheers. When Mr.. Blaine did
appear, he was escorted to n balcony by
Dr. Burden.
Mr., Blaine's appearance evoked tire.
mendous cheers, which were renewed
again and again. After some little time
il became possible for DR.. Burden to
make himself heard. While introdu-
cling Mr.. Blaine he used among others
the words; hHe (Blaine) comes among
us tonight, not with the Pomp and dis
play Of general, but rs private soldier
in ihe ranks, ready for orders, [Cheers]
but our General, Ben Harrison Tire
mendous Cheeringl will not allow him to

OF the Republican forces in the field,

DLAINE's BOSTON SPEECH.
"My voice has been so much worked
to-day by much speaking that doubt i
NAV be heard to the limit of this grea
assembly to give thanks for theii
greeting of me to New England. Blu
for all the absence and the feeling o
exile that obtains in man beyond the
sea for n year, | am compensated oYel
