WHITE PLANS, n Y, Oct. 15.-The
magnetic man OF Maine has thrown the
weight of his utterances into the cam
paign. Earnestly and with much OF his
old time yigor he has proclaimed the Re-
publican cause, and advocated the election
Of the Harrison and Reid ticket His
speech was delivered under unique cir
cumstances. When informed at ; o'clock
yesterday afternoon that the residents OF
White Plains and the surrounding villages
intended serenading him at Ophir Farm,
the residence of Whitelsw Reid, last even
ing, che ex-secretary turned TO his host
and said, "Then will speak TO them"
AT O'Clock buggies began 10 arrive at
Ophir Farm from sll directions. Then
came carriages, family carryalls and om-
nibuses, loaded with people. The palatial
residence of Mr.. Reid was soon surrounded
by people The men represented every
walk of life, from che relired merchant to
the farmer or town blacksmith.
At o'clock Mr.. and Mrs. Reid and their
guests appeared in the parlors. the shades

seen through the plate glass windows. At
this moment brass band, followed by n
torchlight procession, marched up the

Blaine's speech.
Fellow Citizens of New York; should be
churish indeed if did not make e-pon-e TO
your call after you have come several miles 10
this beautiful home II Mr.. Reid on a pleasant
October evening. At the same time, am not
making speeches in the canvass, for reasons
which are well known to my friends, and
which have no connection whatever with poli-
tics. Generally, administrations, In a prcsi-
dental election, are challenged on account OF
the condition OF business of the country, and |
admit that the Republican administration OF
President Harrison can triumphantly endure
such IA test. doubt if, since the government
of the United States was instituted, anybody,
at any time, has seen what we call good
times" so general, taking in 50 many interests
and spreading prosperity throughout the whole
domain of trade.
might ~ ,7Deal 10 New Yoek II the city has
ever passed IA season more satisfactory in
financial results than for the past two years,
in which the eneral effect on capital and la
Dor has been more prosperous. The oppo-
nents of the Republican party always repre-
sent New York as commercial city, and not
amanuf4"trring one, and yet the product OF
the manuiac turers of this city alone is SOD
OO,0Ol. Anything that would cripple that
great interest would cripple the metropolis
seriou,l ~ and 10 a very natural extent. More
men in New York get their living from par
suits
Protected by the Tariff
than from any other source. | know Now
York i the center Of our commerce, the great
entry plrt OF our trade, but all the men engaged
a. comm, rcial affairs in and about New York
are smaller ia numbers than the men engaged
in ma IA aCturCs.
Nor IL YOU go west, where the Democrats
this y, ar are making considerable effort and
doinE "A vast amount OF boastirg, will you find
II different. Take Ohio, take Michigan, take
Indiana, take Illinois, and the products Of
manufact ories are greater in pccuniary
amount than the products of agriculture in
these four great agricultural states. So that
think when it happens to Democratic ora
tors, who are on the wing trying to arouse
the hostility of these states against the pro-
tectiyc tariG, they viii encounter a sentiment
of which they have not dreamed.
We learn from the Democratic party that
these western states are in "A desperate condi-
tion. The amount of their farm mortgages
roll up into tAe millions. You would suppose IL
fabulous that the amount If money they EN-
brace could ever have been 50 invested.
This is not so among the farmers Of New
York. IL j. not 80 among the farmers of New
Jersey. Ii is not so among the farmers Of
Connecticut. Ii is not 20 among the farmers
of L hnsl llvaua. IL is not so among the far
meIs OF any state near by, whose condition
can be easily learned; but by singular fatality
II il the western farms that have got all these
farm mortgages burdening them and taking
the life ont of the people. ! do not like 10

resented the facts, but before accepting them
US such you will do we'll and wisely TO
Demand the Proof.
The tariff. so Democratic papers saw, Is the
origin OF "A plutocratic government, when
wealth ball rule and poor men shall not get
their rights. ] shall venture 10 challenge all
statements OF that kind, and shall make the
Democratic acCusers the judges in tho case.
A careful examination of the list OF wealthy
men in the country has been published. and
has demonstrated the fact TO be quite the re-
verse. TO such an extent indeed. that, in the
city of New York, taking the first 80 greet
fortune. not three, not two, not more than
one would be considered as derived from
