CLEVELANDCordial Reception at His Homo. Associated Press teleeram from Buflslo.1 Gov. Cleveland returned to his home In this city to-day, and Was received with an immense pnblio demonstration. At Dtica and Ryrttouso: where he outdo no speeches, he was cnthnsl-Rstk-aUy cheered. At tha latter place ho received tolcram cigued E. Prentiss Bailey, saying: "Vortr time to I'tlca was immense (the trains having pulled in nt that place iiftocu minutes ahead of timet. You are niakitiir bigger time, toward Washington. Bum this." A few hours beforo he naehod Rochester) twenty-seven cars of representatives 01 Pmoeratie campaign ortniui?ntions went ahead to join iu the BuOalo demount nil ion. Tlicm-c to itatavia, whero the demon ti at Ion was equally enthusiastic On reaching: Buffalo he was w. loomed by crowds, in spiie of the driasline rain. The streets wore nuns; with Chinese lanterns and transparencies, and presented altoeethor a most brilliant appearance. The (iovernor witnessed tho passing of the procession, which took two hours ami ten niitiutes in passing the tlvnesee Htmsci and it is esti mated that there were fully fifteen thousand people in lino. At about 4 o'clock the Governor, on Htoppuut on tho platiorm in the sijuar opposite the Oenosoe House, was received with wild and tumultuous cheering for fully lire minutes. He was iutroduccd bv Mr. Ilenrv Martin, President of the Manufacture's anil Traders' Bank, in a happily framed speech, in the course of which he remarked that in the campaign no rcputaulo man had licoU able to poiut to one solitar- otticial act of his administration ana pronounce it subject to just criticism, that not one reputable man had been heard to soy that in any one single official act he had made the interests of party or of self superior to the public good, or for one instant forgotten that liis office was a sacred and solemn trust to be administered for iho best interests of the whole people. In response to this greeting, Gov. Cleveland siioke as follows: "Fellow-citizens. I can hardly tell tho people of Buffalo how I reioic to night, and how grateful I am for this demonstration of the confidonco snd esteem of my friends and fellowcitizens. I have resided among you, and in this city, where nil mv succes in privato life has been achieved, for nearly thirty years . Ton'ght I come to you, after the lorg st absence that lias ccourred in all that time, and vet within the few weeks that have passed since I saw you last an event has happened of su rente importance to mo, and that places me within the nation's gaze. The honor it has brought to nic I ask my fellow-townsmen to share, whilo I acknowledge with grateful heart all that they in thepast have done for me. Bnttwo short years ago you stood steadily by my side in everv ortort of mine, as the Chief Executive of our cit, to advance its Interest and welfare. Whatever I was able to accomplish of value in this community was largely due to your strong and Intelligent erapport. Nor can I ever forget the generous Indorsement you gave my candidacy for the high oiHce which I now hold in tho State, and I assure yon that in its administration I have received no greater encouragement than tbe approval of my friends at home. What I have seen and heard to-night has touched me do ply. It tells me that my neighbors are still my friends, and assures me that I have not been altogether unsuccessful iu my efforts to deserve therr ronlidence and attirhmeut. In years to come I shall deem myself not far wrong if I still retain their good opinions, and if surrounding cores ami perplexities bring but anxiety and vexation, I shall find solace and comfort in the memory of tho days spent here and iu recalling the kindness of my Buffalo friends. Eat other friends are hero to-night, and to all who tender me their kindly welcome 1 extend a heartfelt.. greeting as citizens with moot the greatest CoihiSonwciKh " in Trie sisterhood", of States, and one immensely interested in tba general weal. Because I love my State and her people, I cannot r train from reminding yon that she should be in the van of every movement which promises a safer and better administration of the General Government, so closely related to her prosperity and greatness. And let me leave yon with the thought that your safety lies in impressing upon tbe endeavor of those interested with the guardianship of your rights and interests, a pure, patriotic, and exacting popular sentiment. The character of the Government (.in hardly rise highor than the source from which it springs; and the integiity and faithfulness of public servants are not apt to be greater than the pjop'e demand." Gov. Cleveland having finished his address the grand procession passed in review before him and his guests to Niagara Square, where they disappeared. As column after column passed the cheers were loud and long. Afterward an informal reception was tendered to the Governor. BLAINE. His Tour Among the Buckeyes. Mr. Blaine, accompanied by Emery Storrs, ex-Senator Bruce, cx-Gov. Foster, Senator Plumb, and others, left Toledo for Cincinnati on the morning of Tuesday, tlie 30th nit. The train stopped at Tiffin, where a large crowd had gathered about the depot, and the Republican candidate spoke as follows: "When I was a schoolboy in Sonthern Ohio, forty-three years ago, this portion of the country resentcd a very different appearance from what t presents to-day. Those forty-throe years have been divided between Democ ratio rule and Republican rule, and I leave tho voters of Northwestern Ohio to say under which there has been more rapid progress, not only in this section, but throughout the whole of this heantltul State, and, leaving you that subject to meditate upon, I leave you the whole controversy of 1884. I thank yon for this roacnifii ent reception. I sec In the assemblage evidences of peace, plenty, and prosperity, such as are rarelv equaled anywhere in the world and never surpassed. It is in yenr own hands to say whether we shall enter upon a series of doubtful and dangerous experiments." Speeches were also made by Messrs. Bruco and Storrs. At Kenton, the home of Gen. Robinson, Republican candidate for Pecretary of Stato, Mr, Blaine was introduced to the crowd and said: "I am very glad to be welcomed in tho borne of Gen. Robinson, for the candidacy of Gen. Robinson, indorsed by this vast assemblage, is an important prelude to the national election of 1884, and the candidacy of Gen. Robinson, if sustained by Ohio, goes far to settle that contest. You see, therefore, what your duty is, and it is fortunate for Ohio that the candidate selected to register her expression of popular opinion is a man trusted in every civil station, and with an enviable record as a soldier. So that the candidate is as strong as the cause, and no candidate can be stronger than the Republican cause." At Crbana, where a large Republican meeting was in progress, Mr. Blaine was received with load cheers, and made a brief political address, in which he said that the great wealth of the West was acquired under Republican role, and was due to the Influence of a wise financial system and tho encouragement of a high protective tariff, and urging his hearers to vote the Republican ticket. At Springfield, where all the workshops had been closed to enable the workmen to see the cand'datc, Mr. Blaine spoke for a fow minutes, continini his remarks solely to the tariff issue. It was late in the evening when tho train reached Dayton, where a large crowd had gathered to welcome the Republican candidate. He w as received with load cheers, and spoke as follows: "This vast assemblage of people is far beyond the reach of the human voice. A man might Just as well stand at the tip-end of Cane Race and address the Atlantic Ocean in a storm. Bnt tho effect of this grand spectacle Is far beyond human expression, and speaks more eloquently than words for the Republican cause. When I left home I heard that Ohio lacked enthusiasm. If this be a lack of enthusiasm. I would like to see you genuinely etirred np. This la a campaign of businessmen, of the manufacturer, of the mechanic, of the farmer n short, of every one who has a dollar to earn or a dollar to save. It is a campaign intended to give protection to American labor, a campaign for America and not for any other country. I belicvo in that kind or a campaign. The voice of thebtateof Ohio cannot and will not be doubtful. In that belter I leave it to you, and bid yon a cordis! adieu." Mr. Bl"inerest;d at Dayton during tho night, and the following morning visited the Soldiers' Home and made a brief talk. Then tho journey by rail whs resumed. The first stop was made at Hamilton, where Mr. Blaine was driven to a stand in front of the Court-House, from which he spoke as follows: Citi: ens of Ohio, It Is now forty years since tbe question of a protective tariff engaged the atte ntion of the American people as profoundly as it does to-day. It was in the contest between Mr. Clay and Mr. Polk in 1844 that the great national debate on the question took plat c.and tho protective tariff was leIcated,not by tho popular vote, but by tho bad talth of the partr which succeeded in the election, and I hex to rail your attention, the Attention of a large manufacturing population, to the fact tha' the policy of protect ng American ind stry has never been defeated in the United States by the popular vote. A contrary policy has been forced 11 tbe people at different times through the bad faith of their representatives, but nevor. I repeat, by tbe popular vote upon a deliberate apjieal to tbe people in their primary capaoitv. It therefore would

seem to ne cue outy 01 tnc people or tno rnitca 1

niaurs, u uy a majority iue ooiiove in uie policy of protection, to see to It that thn party is sustained which can bo treated to uphold it. Yes, but said a gontlemanto mo yesterday, " Protection does not always seoure abundant prosperity; there are a great many idle men now in tho country." Well, grant It; there has never yet been a pollov devised by the art of man that will insure throuub all t'mca and seasons a continuous flow of prosperity. But the question Is whether over a given series of years there has not been a larger di gree of prosperity to the pe.plo

unaer me policy 01 protection tnan unacr th t policy of tree trade. Tho question is to be 1 gauged and tested, not by tho experience of a : slnglo year, bnt by the experience of a series of years. Wo have hart a protective tariff now for more than two decades, and I ask you whether i there ha ever been another p riod In which the United States has made snch progress as during tho last twentv years. But it is true now and then there will come a little lull mid a little r 1

action in business. There will come a little lull and a little reaction even in tho laws of nature. You bad a great drought In Ohio this year, but yon do nut on that account avow that, you will have no more rains. On th- contrary, yon are the more (irmly persuaded that rain Is tho onlv clement that will restore the fertility to your sou", verdure to your fields, and richness to your crops. Ko in this lit tlo slough, this little dullness In the butlness of the country, tbe one great element tha" can

be relied on to restore prosperity is the pro- I tcctlve tariff. Tho question, then, is for Ohio to I (lecld -. On the fourtc-nth day of this month ! von will have an opportunity to tell tho people i (if the United States whether you believe in that 1

doctrine. If yon do, yon will secure hot only its continuance, but its permanent triumph. But ii, on the other hand, you should falter and fall back, it might produce disaster el-cwhore. The responsibility is on you. Is your courage equal to your responsibility? l"Yes," "yes."J Is your confidence equal to your courage? C It is," "it ls."j Then 1 have nothing more to say except to bid you good-by.

THE REALM OF POLITICS.

Mr. Blaine's Tour from Cincinnati to West Virginia Pressing toe Tariff Issue.

Belva to Tuke tue Stump. Washington telegram Mrs. Belva A. Loekwood announces that she will shortly start outon a campaign tour, and deliver speeches at Baltimire, Philadelphia, New York. Cleveland, and several other large cities. "My speeches," sold Mrs. Loekwood in conversation to-night, "will not be political harangues in the ordinary sense of the term. 1 thaU speak on tbe subject of good government and equal lights for woman before the law and at the ballot-box. I do not think that I will sav anything that will be a desecration of tbe Sabbath day. I expect to sneak in Baltimore next Monday, and will probably spend the rest of that week in Philadelphia and New York. I go to Cleveland under the auspices of Mr. Gus llartz, the manager of the Opera House. It will bo more of a lecturing than a campaign tour, although I suppose I would not make tbe trip If I was not a candidate. I expect to reach Cleveland Saturday evening. I have received invitations to visit nearly all the largo cities, and I will probably goto Chicago, Indianapolis, and Cincinnati week after next." An Attempt to Assassinate St. John. IDispatch from Sullivan, Ind.i Some villain fired into the car in which Gov. St. John sat on his way from Carlisle to Terre Haute last night. The ball passod through the window on the opposite side, making a clean hole and lodging in the side on which St. John sat, and a little in front of him. Tho train was just slowing np south of Sullivan when tho shot was fired, it being exactly s o'clock. The Governor took the matter coolly and no disturbance was made, and many on the train were not aware of the occurrence. There is no clue to the motive or identity of the person who tired the shot.

LAND OFFICE DECISION.

Homestead and Pre-emption Fees. Washington telegram.! The Secretary of the Interior has rendered an important decision relative to tbe payment ot fees for reducing testimony to writing in homestead and pre-emption final proofs. It will be remembered that last January the Commissioner of the General Land Office in a letter to the Register and Receiver at Huron, D. T., ruled that except as provided bv the act ot March 3, 1877, such fees can properly be charged and received by local land officers only for testlmonv actually reduced to writing. This decision did not refer to the testimony written out by the claimants or their attorneys, and the Commissioner ordered that the money in the hands of the local land officers received as testimony fees in cases where the testimony was not written ont by themselves or their emploves be returned to the parties entitled to it. The Huron office acquiesced, and made repayment to the persons who bad made proof rather than to the persons who had acted as their attorneys. An appeal was taken from this decision by Caldwell & Smith, and also in a case from Fargo, D, T. The Secretary affirms the Commissioner's decisions. He says that no mention Is made In the law- of testimony prepared by claimants of theft attornevs, and the necessary conclusion is ts.t there was no intention on the part of the lawmakers to allow fees to local officers for such testimony. The writing of testimony is merely clerical work, and tho purpose of the law is to compensate the Register and Receiver for such work when done by them. Tho Secretary, in his letter to the Commissioner, says: "Feeling it bnt just that Registers and Receivers should derive all possible benefit from the act ot March 3, 1883, 1 Instruct you to prepare an order providing that all testimony for claimants in establishing pre-emption or homestead rights or mineral entries, and in contested cases, shall be reduced to writing under tho direct supervision

of the Registers and Receivers, whenever such testimony is taken In towns where local offices are established."

The crowd at the depot and the worldngmen in the shopa facing the track rhecred Mr. Blaine as the train moved out, Th-; first stop was at a little station, Milford, where there was a good-sized meeting. Mr. Braine was warmly received, and he spokes few word of thanks. At Morrow, Warren County, where a largo Republican meeting was In progress, tho Republican candidate was escorted to the speaker's stand and made a brief speech, confining his remarks to the tariff question. At Xenia and London, tho same performance was repeated. At each j oint the Republicans had arranged large demonstration, and Mr. Blaine mado brief addresses to tbo assembled multitudes The party arrived at Columbus in the ov. nine, and the candidate was met at the depot and escorted to his hotel by the local committee of tlio party. There was an Imposing torch-light parade of Uniformed clubs, which was reviewed by Mr. Blaine, after which he delivered a aho t address. The party emained at Columbus during tha night, and On the morning of the 4th lert by the Baltimore and Ohio Road for West Virginia. Tho people in the depot cheered as the train moved out, and Mr. Blaine bowed his acknowledgments from the rear platform. The first stop was at Newark, where there was a great crowd, composed largely ot workingmen. Mr, Blaine was largely cheered at the depot, but Newark is a Democratic town, and the demonstrations along the streets as he was driven to tbe Court House were tamer lhau at other places yet. Several young men ran along beside tbe carriages of the party and shouted "Hurrah for Cleveland I" In front of the court-house the candidate was introduced to the crowd, and said: "While I accept yonr kindly compliment to myself, and am grateful for It, I desire to say that iho mere personality of a candidate for the Presidency is of small account, but what be stands tor may be of very great account, either in the way of good or evil. The question before the people of tbe United States is whether they wish to overthrow the financial and industrial policy that has been established by the Republican party 1 No, no' ; and, for myself, I am only of importance because I represent those who answer as you do, 'No, no.' I stand in the midst of a rich community, one that I am familiar wltn: one that I have known from my earliest childhood. I know yonr great growth In wealth. I know- vunr great progress in every moral and material interest, and I call you to witness, every candid man In this assemblage, whether he lie RepubUcan or Democrat, and perhaps some Democrat does me the honor to listen, I call every one to witness that your progress in the last twentv veors. dnrlnir the existence and

I enforcement of the Industrial and financial ! system ot the RepubUcan party, in which ' a orotectlve tariff and a sound cur- ' rencyare the greatest and leading features I I call vou all to witness that our oroirress has

been greater, doubl v greater, than your progress in the sixty preceding years. Your vote will decide the contest the 14th of October. This current month you meet to do your duty. I have confidence that yon will discharge it like men." At ZanesvOle, the carriage provided for Mr, Blaine was drawn by four white horses. There was a largo escort ot Flamed Knight clubs in uniform. Tbo Republican candidate. In his speech, again presented tha tariff as the chief issue in the camnaien.

j At Cambridge Mr. Blaine was driven to the ! fair grounds, where there was a larse meeting.

He was received with great cheering. He returned thanks for the compliment and again briefly called ti"t;caSothe tariff question as at Zanesvulo. There was a largo gathering at Barnesvillc, and here again Mr. Blaine spoke briefly of tho importance of the tariff as an Issue In tho campaign. At two or three other points where the train stopped between there and Bellaire, Mr. Blaine made short speeches, urging the tariff as the main issue. At Bellaire, which was reached after nightfall, a big Republican meeting was in progress, and the town was given np to fireworks and political oratory. Mr. Blaine did not show himself at the meeting, but was driven straight to his hotel and retired tor the night. During his stay at BeUaire the senior class at Washington and Jefferson College, Mr. Blalne'e alma mater, came by special train from Washington, Pa., to call upon him. Mr. Blaine received them in his parlor, and the meeting was a very pleasant one. Mr. Blaine remained quietly at Bell aire until the afternoon ot the Sth, and then, accompanied by bis son aud members of the local committee, drove over a somewhat circuitous road through a region to Wheeling, where he spent the night. The Republican candidate and bis party left Wheeling on the morning of the 6th by special tratu for Graf ton. W. Va. The first stop was at Moundsville. Mr. W. J. W. Cowden. Chairman of the Republican State Committee, introduced Mr. Blaine, who was warmly received. He said : I am glad to meet the citizens of Marshall Couutv. I am glad to be in West Virginia. I consider It one of the encouraging signs of the times that an earnest contest Is going on, in what was once a slave State, for the ascendency of Republican principles, and Republican principles this year mean a tariff for the protection of American labor. (Cheers. J If West Virginia is in favor of that, she is RepubUcan: if she Is opposed to It, she is not Republican. The decision rests with her citizens. 1 know no State in t.h I'ninn more riireetlv interested in the pro

motion of manufactures than your State. Your

rich beds or coat ana iron; your vast rorests; aii vour natural resources, form a great development of manufacturing industries. They can be developed undera protective tariff; they cannot be without it. At Cameron, Littleton, Manuington, and Farmington there were brief stops, and at each point Mr. Blaine spoke briefly of the Importance to West Virgl ila of a protect ve tariff. At Fairmont there was quite a large meeting. Mr. Blaine left the train aud addressed the people from a stand, still urging the tariff as the supreme issue ot the campaign. At Grafton, where quite a large meeting was in progress, Mr. Blaine Broke at considerable length, urging upon his hearers the importance of a high tariff. ... From Grafton the special train again moved toward th-; Ohio Biver.

A leading sporting man at one of the up-town resorts said to-night that there is little betting just now on the Presidential election, and would not be mnc-h more until after tbe Ohio election.

At the Windsor and Brunswick no record ot any bets whatever for the last tea days could be discovered. . . ..... ... At the St. James tho clerk said that probably $15,000 had been wagered by guests of the house or casual visitors, the largest bet being made about ten days ago. when $8,000 even was wagered on the result In November. No recent nets were rcuorted at the Fifth Avenue note!, aud those mide at this resort have been between the politicians of either party who dally frequent its corridors. The total at stake is estimated at $30,000, and is mostly at even money. The highest individual bet made at the hotel is $000. The Bower House, Twenty-eighth street and Broadway, is the resort of many sporting men, including tho professional bookmakers, and money in eums of $1."C0 and over to the extent of $v'Oo has been put up by the patrons of the Sloce. Tho odds at first were in favor of Blaine, ut have Bince changed slightly. At all the places mentioned the same state of affaire is ret orted an entire cessation ot the previous brisk business, which in the main was confined to sums ot $1,000 to $180. and a general unanimity to await the result ot the Ohio election before putting any more at risk.

Ky., and notified btm officially of his nomination for President ot the Culted States. Mr. Mulhatton's letter of acceptance w as placed in the hands of the committee. The principal points f interest to It are that the uprising t tho drummer fraternity means a w era, when business men shall prevent proc slonal politicians and the lower class from ruhng the business interests of the country. It favors prohibition, because no drummer or business man can drink intoxicating liquors and be successful. It opposes convict labor, because It is a pernicious system of slavery, unconstitutional, and interferes with honest workinenicn; It la brutal and cruel and a relic ot barbarism. It favors retrenchment, reform, abolition of war taxes; the surplus In the treasury to lie at piled at once to liquidating the public debt and for public improvement, Miss Mom.ie Garfield is shortly to outer Vassor College.
