Bliss, Mckinley, Carter and McComas,
who were invited to meet Blaine at din
ner at Ophir Farm last night returned this
morning. None of the gentlemen would
divulge what took place at the conference
last night. except to say that Blaine as
sured them he was loyal to the party and
would do every thing in his power to Sc
cure the ell ection of Harrison and Reid, as
far as he was physically able. 1t Is still
an open question whether the ex-secretary
will make a public address during the
campaign. 1t is thought, however, that
lie will appear at a mass meeting in New
York city before the end of the campaign.

G. Blaine has spoken. A big crowd from
the village of Westchester heard the
man from Name. Politicians tried
to obtain the same results, but
failed. The ex-secretary. however,
yielded to popular enthusiasm and
spoke. The demonstration was spontan-

rounding towns. Upon arriving at
OphIr farm band which accompanied
the crowd played several selections,
and Mr.. Reid appeared upon the veranda.
He was followed by the distinguished
party which had gathered to meet the ex-
secretary. After few words of introduce

greeted with round after round of cheers.

When quiet was restored Minister Egan
