MINNEAPOLIS. June G. - The Young
Mems Republican Blaine club of Cinciu-
natl arrived in the city this afternoon. Ex-
Governor Foraker met them at the depot.
There was hilarious cheering for the fiery
orator of the Buckeye state, and the band
struck up au air of welcome. No less than
5000 people were assembled at the West
hotel when the column reached its deStina-
tiOn, and the scene was one of grandeur as
the club paused in front of the hotel,
hoisted its banner and gave alternate
cheers for Blaine and Foraker. From
there the column marched into the rotunda
of the hotel, and here there was a fierce
rivalry between the Blaine and Harrison
factions The latter made an attempt to
turn the incident into Harrison demon
stratiOn, but their cheers for the president
were quickly drowned by cheers for Blaine
and the Harrison people were soon pressed
to the wall and crowded into the corridors.
Then followed scene of eXultatiOu, and
the clubs banners were waved wildly in
the air and cheer after cheer arose for
James G. Blaine. At this juucture IA
Blaine man shouted "toraker Foraker'
aud immediately the cry WAS taken up
until the corridors rang with the demand
for the Buckeye leader. The eloquent ex-
governor stepped to the front and deliver
a speech, which was repeatedly cheered.
