WHITE PLAINS, ~ Y, Oct. 14.-James
@. Blaine has spoken. A big crowd from
the villages of Westchester county went To
Ophir Farm tonight and heard the man
from Maine. Politicians had tried TO obtain
the same result, bus failed The ex.
secretary, however, yielded TO the
popular enthusiasm and spoke. The de-
monstration was spontaneous and arranged
on short notice. The idea was started this
morning, and by nightfall the news that
such an affair would take place had spread
over the southern part Of the county. The
republicans gathered in all their strength
and went TO Mr.. Reid's home. Delegates
| were present from Portchester, Rye, White
Plains, Mamaroneok Rye Neck and other
towns along the sound.
Upon arriving at Ophir Farm, bands
which accompanied the party played sew
eral selections, and Mr.. Reid appeared upon
the veranda. He was followed by a dis
singuished party which had gathered to
meet the ex-secretary. After few words
OF introduction, Mr.. Reid presented Mr..
Blaine. As the popular son OF Maine
stepped forward he was Rreeted with round
after round OF cheers Whep suf1icientf
silence could be restored TO permit him to be
heard, Mr.. Blaine spoke as follows:
FELLOW CITIZENS OF New York; should bsi
churiish indeed II did not make a response to
your call after you have come several miles Co
this beautiful home Of Mr.. Reid, on this pleasant
October evening. At the same time am moo
making speeches in the Canvass for reasons
which are well known to my friends and which
have no connection whatever with politics.
Generally administrations In presidential elect
ions are challenged on account OF the condition
OF the business OF the country. and submit thab
the republican administration of President
Harrison can triumphatly endure suoh q test.
LApplause
doubt e. since the government OF the United
States was Instituted, anybody at any time has
seen what we call good times so general, taking
In 80 many interests and spreading prosperity
throughout the whole domain OF trade. n
might appeal TO New York il che city has ever
passed season more satisfactory in financial
results than for the past two years, In which
the general effect on capital and labor has been
moro prosperous. Applause.
NEW YoRK's MANUFACTURES
The opponents OF the Republican party always
represent New ork as q commercial city and
not manufacturing one, and yet the product
OF the manufacturers Of this city alone Is $780,
10000 Anything that would cripple that great
interest would cripple the metropolis seriously
and TO very hurtful extent. More men In New
York get their living from pursuits protected
by the tariff than from any other source know
that New York Is the center OF our commerce.,
the great entrepot OF our trade; bat all men en-
gagged In commercial affairs in and about New
York are emaller In numbers than the
men engaged in manufactures. Nor ie
you 20 west where the democrats this
year are making considerable effort and doing a
vast amount of boasting Ilaughterl will you
find IL different Taks Ohio, take Michigan,
take Indiana, take illinois, and the products OF
tne manufactures are greater ia pecuniary
amounts than the products OF agriculture in
these four great agricultural states, so that L
think, when IL happens to democratic orators
who are on the wing trying to arouse the hos
uiity OF these states against tho protective
tariff, they will encounter a sentiment of which
they have not dreamed.
THE MORTGAGES ON THE FARMS.
We learn from the Democratic party that
these western states are in desperate condition
The amount Of their farm mortgages rolls up
into millions. You would suppose IL fabulous
that the amount OF money they embrace could
ever have been so invested This Is not so
among the farmers in New York; it is not so
among the farmers in New Jersey; 1t
is not 80 among the farmers of Con-
necticut; 1t is not 80 among the farmers Of
Pennsylvania 1t is not 80 amoug the farmers
of any state near by, whose condition can bo
easily learned. by singular fatality, it is,the
western states that have got all these farm
mortgages burdening them and taking the life
out of the people. l do not like to say that
gentlemen have voluntarily mlsrepresented Chs
facts, but before accepting them as such,
you will do well, as wisely. TO demand
proofs. The tariff go the democratic papers
say, is the origin Of plutocratic government,
when wealth shall rule and the poor men snall
not get their rights. / shall venture TO chal-
lengo 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 70 be quite the
reverse; to such extent, indeed, that in tn
city OF New York taking the first $50 great fort
unes, not three. not two, not more than one
would be considered as derived from manufact-
uring investments
THE IRISH VOTE.
have a " ord to say about the Irish vote.
see it IL stated that the democrats boast OF
having the mass OF them In their ranks this
year. II is one OF the mysteries of our politics
that a question which interests England so
supremey-which is canvassed almost as much
in London as Ii Is in New York-should have
the Irish vote on the side of Great Britain. IL
the Irish vote were solidly for protection they
could defy the Vaccinations of the Democratic
party for free trade, and throw their influence
on the side OF the home market Of America
against the tide of foreign markets OF England
know this appeal has been frequently made to
the Irish voters, but make ib with emphasis
now, for am unwilling to believe that with
the light of knowledge bsfors them, they will
be deliberately on the side of their former op-
pressors / think Ishall rely on my good friend,
Mr. EHan, the brilliant and successful minister to
Chile. whom feel especially glad TO meet at Mr..
Red's table this evening, think must rely on
him to intercede with his countrymen-his
cOuutrymen IN two senseS-nOt 70 ad Ln9 DEM

wages OF American labor by their potential
votes and by their potential numbers. ICON
tinued applause.
EGAN's SPEECH.
Mr.. Egan's speech was brief. He ex-
planned that his official connection prevented
him from entering as he would like into the
political canvass He said that his course in
Chile had been dictated by desire to carry
out what he believed to be the principles OF
the Republican party. He was governed by
from Washington, and in his
note to the Chilean government concerning
the Baltimore case he used the very words
OF his instructions. Whatever credit was
aue in the matter was due to the admin
istration which he represented.
At every point made the auditors cheered,
and when he finished the assemblage broke
out in great applause.
Following the minister to Chile an ad-
dress was made by Chauncey NJ. Depew.
After the speaking the serenaders were en-
tertained in the house by Mr.. and Mrs.
Reid, assisted by Messrs Blaine, Depew,
Egan, Brookfleld and Hackett.
