WHITE PLAINS. N. Y, Oct. 15-James G.
Blaine has spoken. big crowd from the
village of Westchester heard the man from
Maine. The politicians had tried TO OBJ
tain the same results, but failed. The ex-
secretary, however, yielded to popular en-
thusi nsm and spoke. The demonstration Wac
spontaneous. and arranged at short no
tlce. Delegations were present from all
surrounding towns. Upon arriving at
Ophir farm the band which accompanied
the crowd played several selections and Mr..
Reid appeared upon the yeranda. He WAS
followed by the distinguished party which
gathered to meet the ex-secretary. After II
few words of introduction Reid presented
Blaine. As the popular son of Maine
stepped forward he WAS greeted with round
after round of cheers. When sufficient
silence was secured Mr.. Blaine spoke in
part as follows:
"Fellow Citizens of New York: should
be churlish indeed if 1 did not make re-
sponse to your call. At this time am
making no speeches in the canvass for rea-
sons which are we'll known to friends and
have no connection with politics. Gener-
ally the administration in presidential eiec-
tions il challenged on account of the con-
dition of the business of the country and
submit that the republican administration
of President Harrison can triumphantly
endure such test. Applause. l doubt

States was instituted. anybody at any time

New York get living from pursuits pro-
tected by the tariff than from any other
source. All man engaged in commercial
affairs in and about New York are smaller
IN numbers than those engaged in manu-
features. Now. If YOU 90 west, where the
democrats this year are making oonsidera-
BILE effort and doing vast amount of boast
ing. will you find it different? Take Ohio,
Michigan. Indiana. take Illinois, and the
products of the manufacturers are greater
in pecuniary amount than the products of
agriculture iii agricultural states. SO
think that when democratic orators try to
arouse hostility III these states against the
protective tariff they will encounter SEN
timent of which they have not dreamed.
I'VE learn from the democratic party
that these western states arc in desperate
condition, that the amount of their farm
mortgages has risen into millions. This IL
not so among the farmers of New York nor
among the farmers of any state near bv,
whose condition oan be easily learned. but
by singular fatality it is the western states
that have got all these farm mortgages
