Your great emporium, this city of New York, represents in its growth and grandeur the United States of America, Jt is not merely the chief municipality of the United States; it is the commercial metropolis of the continent, and I conceive it to bo ono of thmehief honors of my life to be thus welcomed to its hearty hospitality. I renew to you and impress upon you the gratitude I feel—the thankfulness I offer for all that you tender me.” I Shouts of "Yon are welcome!" and continued cheers.] Mr. Blaine was followed into his parlors by rounds of cheers When he trad disappeared, Emery A. Storrs, of Chicago, United States Senator Hawley, and other gentlemen made abort addresses. A delegation of forty members of the Union League Club of New York called on Mr. Blaine and presented him with an address declaring that the question of questions before the people was: “Shall the American idea of a tariff for the protection of American labor and Industries be maintained as the settled policy of the United States?” The members pledged their hearty support to Mr. Blaineafor his stand on this question. Mr. Blaine briefly and eloquently returned thanks to tho deputation for their courtesy and support. Mr. Blaino left Now York for Philadelphia at 6:3u W. m., accompanied by a large party of Sromiaent Republicans. The train stopped at ewatk, Trenton, Rahway, Clinton, and other points, where Mr. Blaine briefly addressed the people who turned out to greet him. The party reached Philadelphia otter midnight. Hendricks at Hamilton. IHnmilton (O.) telegram.] The Democrats held one of the largest m eetlngs tb-day and to-night ever held in this county. The crowd present was estimated at from twentv-flvo to iorty thousand. A large number came from Indiana. The chief Interest was the appearance of Mr. Hendricks. 'The other tweakers present were Allen G. Thurman. Gov. lloadly, and Durbin Ward. Letters of regret were sent by Gov. Cleveland and Senator Payne. Mr. Hendricks was introduced bv cx-Senator Thurman, and commenced by saying that he had before him au article written for the Commercial liatelle , and copied very extensively by Republican papers, to tho elTeot that in 1803 a club was fotmed at what waa called the Stone House, In Ht. Clnlr Township, this county, by about seventy persons, who wore disloyal to the U nlon, called the Vullandigham Club, and that be (Hendricks) was Invited and came to St. Clair Township and helped form the club, "1 wish to say,” ho continued, “that I nover knew there was a house called tho nor a St. Clair Township, until I saw it in this article. I only refor to this as an examplo of the multltudo of false statements tho Republican press has put in circulation about tho Democratic candidates. A lie nover hurts a man; It Is tho truth that hurts." Mr. Hendricks then turned to other toptes, first arguing that it was time for a change in the administration, even if there was no rcandal in the present administration, lie repeated his argument on this point used in other addresses, and in the main devoted his time to tho same line followed In other places. The meeting was very enthusiastic, and, by reason of Its great size, much enthusiasm existed at times, rendering It difficult to hear what was said.

John B. Gougli Speaks for St. John. [Boston dispatch.J Fellow citizens, 1 am no politician, and I am not going to make a political speech. For fortytwo years I have beou fighting this liquor trade —against the- trade that robbed me of seven of the best years of my life. 1 have long voted the Republican ticket, hoping alwaysfpr help in my contest in the Republican party. Bht wo have been expecting something from that party in vain, and now, when they have treated the most respectful appeal from the most respectable men in this countrv with silent contempt, I say It is time to leave off trusting and to express our opinion of the party. [Applause.] I do not believe in compromises of any sort, nor have I believed In them at any time in my career. I have fought the drink traffic right straight through, and I want Prohibitionists to show an uncompromising front to that traffic. [‘‘Hear! ” “Hearl"] We are fighting a tremendous evil, and we must make sacrifices if they become necessary. But there must be no compromise with the enemy. You must stand to your principles. They talk about protection, but we temperance people have no protection whatever. [Cheers.] We want protection from the liquor traffic for the widow and tho orphan and the children. [Applause.l That is why 1 changed my politlos, and If I live until Clio first Tuesday in November I shall give my vote for the Prohibitory candidate. [Cheers.) With political parties and with demagogic methods of argument and abuse we have nothing to do. 1 believe that free whisky In the United Btutos and Benjamin Butler’s teachings would bring übout a bloody revolution in this country in less than flvo years, and I pray God to give us good men to rule over us. I have defined my position, and with God’s help I will stick to it the remainder of my life. [Loud cheers.] Logan In Ohio. [Youngstown (Ohio) special.] Gen. Logan was given an ovation In this city. Fully fifty thousand people from Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania were present. All. the Blaine and Logan clubs within a radius of sixty miles participated.

Ten thousand people were In lino, the procession occupying nearly two hours in passing a given point. Gen. Logan was escorted to the fairgrounds, where he addressed an audience of 20,000, speaking for two hours on the political issues of the campaign. He was followed by Gen. Noyes and Private Dalzeil. Leaving Youngstown, Gen. Logan went to Alliance, where he addressed an audience pt 7,000 people. He afterward spoke to large audiences at Akron and Canton. Butler in Massachusetts. [Lowell (Mass.) telegram.] The first ratification meeting under tbe'aus£lces of the people’s Party was held this evenlg. It was one of the largest political gatherings In this city for many years. Gen. Butler In his speech said: “The tariff, laid by the RcSublican party, was laid during the war, and as not been substantially changed since. That is unfertuate. But when we do change it, we want to see to it that it is changed in the way I indicate—that is best to promote and foster American labor.” (Boston dispatch.] The People’s party opened its campaign at Lynn with a reoeption to ana two immense rallies. The Senator Grady spoke at the Music Hall. ThSfotmer, in the course of bis remarks, said there weretaoro bad men in the Republican party than in the Democratic. The latter had only elected one President in twenty years, and then he had not the courage to take his seat. He advised bis hearers to vote with the People s party for three or four years, and if that did them no good then they could return to the old parties. Tho General closed by saying that when he saw the sorrow of the poor ana lowly at the funeral of Wendell Phillips he had said: “What greater reward can any man have?" He afterward addressed an audience at the Coliseum. T" Belford Will Hot Bolt. [Denver (Col.) dispatch.] There Is no truth in the statement that Congressman Belford intends to run as an Independent candidate for Congress with the indorsement es the Greenback party of this State.

Jones has resigned the Chairmanship of the Greenback State Committee of New York. He says the campaign is intended to entrap honest workingmen into a scheme to defeat Cleveland.

He wrote the play from which Verdi drew “II Trovatore.” The personal estate of the late Eishop Matthew Simpson is valued at $!J3,083,
