ty went to Ophir farm and heard the
man from Maine. Politicians had tried
TO obtain the same result, but failed.
The ex-secrctary, however, yielded to
popular enthusiasm and spoke.
The demonstration was spontaneous
and arranged on short notice. The idea
was started yesterday morning and by
nightfall the news that such an affair
would take place had spread over
the southern part of the county.
They gathered in all their strength
and went to Mr.. Reds home. Dele
gates were present from Port Chester.
Rye, White Plains, Manaronecls, Rye
Neck and the other towns along the
southern line. Upon arriving at Ophir
farm the bands which accompanied the
party played several selections and Mr..
Reid appeared upon the vcranda. He
was followed 10y the distinguished party
which had gathered to meet the ex-sec-
rotary.
After u few wordso of introduction Mr..
Reid presented Mr.. Blaine. As the pop
uiar son of Maine stepped forward he
was greeted with round after round of
cheers. When sufficient silence could
be restored to permit him to be heard
Mr.. Blaine spoke as follows:

make response To your call after you
nave come several miles to- this beauti-
full home of Mr.. Reid on a pleasant o.
tober evening. At the same time I am
not making speeches in the canvass for
reasons which are well known To my
friends and which have no connection
whatever with politics.

hurtful extent. More men in New

center of our commerce, the great en-
