THE POLITICAL FIELD.

Mr. Blaine’s Journey from Buffalo to Toledo—Speech-Molnwg and Hand-Shaking. Germans in New York Hold k Large Meeting—Tammany Nominates a Ticket of Its Own. THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE. " Hi* Journey from BnflUlo to Toledo—Addressing Large Political Meetings. Mr. Blaine was met at Buffalo by a delegation from Ohio, consisting of ex-Gov. Foster, Judge ! Foraker, and others, and the train left that city on the forenoon of Sent 26. The first stop was at Dunkirk, where there was a large gathering The local committee escorted Mr Blaine from the car to a plats orm beside the track, where he could be seen by the people. Mr. Brodks introduced him, and the crowd responded with great cheering. Mr. Blaine said: ""For the past two days I have been journeying through the heart of this great State, and have met everywhere the kindest reception. You add another to the many complimen s I have received, and I thank you very sincerely for all that your reception implies. I don’t in the least Hatter myself that these great popular demonstrations are to myself personally. They are of a much higher and broader sigrilrican.ee; they indicate the arousing of the people of New York to the great issues that are now submitted in a peculiar sense td their arbitrament, Of these issues it would be hardly becoming In me to speak.” At Westfield, the last station in New York at which the train stooped, the people had assembled ln large numbers, many ladies being present- on foot and in carriages. Mr. Blaine, on being introduced, was greeted with three cheers and a tiger. He spoke only a few words. There was a fine demonstration at Erie before the train arrived at the station. As it was passing the Erie City Boiler Works the workmen ran out and cheered. At the station there were also about 3,000 people. The Republican candidate was introduced by Mr. J. T. Downing, of Erie, and spoke as follows: "Although it is thirty years since I was a citizen of Pennsylvania there Is no spot on earth where I feel more at home. The associations of . my childhood and of my young manhood and all that I cherished in early life are Identified with Pennsylvania, and I always return to her with a feeling of affection which is not lessened but deepened by my long absence. 1 therefore feel to-day in your kind reception that 1 am met by brethren, by friends: Indeed, I might say by kinsmen, because I hardly conceive it possible to assemble as large a number of Pennsylvanian* anywhere upon the sotl of the State without Including some one of them wjth whom Xam either nearly or remotely cphkected. With all my attachment to the honored State of my residence, in which I have spent nearly all the years of my ad.nl t life, I have lost nothing of my love for old Pennsylvania. I thank you sincerely for this demonstration of friendly regard, and. with the haste of a traveler on all express train. ■ r bid you good-by.” The Reception Committee from Cleveland came on board at Erie, and also one from Ashtabula.

Soon after the train crossed the line between Pennsylvania and Ohio it stopped at the little station Of Conneaut, thgfirst stop in the WestLadles and gentlemen, I confit if" a mattar of good fortune, as it is certaifily # source of gratification to myself, that I enter the State of Ohio through the old county of Ashtabula. I have never visited this county but with a warm welcome, to which you to-day add another. I thank you sincerely and bid you good-by.” st Ashtabula ttere was another large and .enthusiastic crowd. Mr. Blaine had to leave thetrain and mount aplatform, where all the people could see him. In response to a brief speech welcoming him, Mr. -Blaine Baid: IF A, “I have already said upon the border of your State that to me it is a peculiar gratification that 1 enter Ohio through the county of Ashtabula. In our political divisions we look to States, and ordinarily the county is undistinguished beyond the limits of the State of which it is a : ppit. But there are a few counties in the Union—like St. Lawrence in New York, Lancaster in Pennsylvania, and Ashtabula in Ohio—that by the intensity of their convictions and th® force of their action, have borne themselves’to-the,front so far that they become political units in the contests of the nation, and if you get their temper stirred and their energies called forth the consequence has generally been that the party which has defled them has been crushed in the conflict. I hope that Ashtabula is aware this year of the responsibility tuat rests upon her. lam glad to be welcomed within her borders. I come to this county always with a feeling of admiration for her people and with a precious memory of the friendships I have enjoyed with its public men. I thank you heartily for this kind reception and betake myself to my further journey through your State.” Stops were made at Geneva and Painesville and short speeches delivered by the candidate. As the train approached Mentor it slowed up,and finally stopped to give the seon board an opportunity to see the Garfield farm and catch a glimpse of the house through the trees. The train reached Cleveland about 6 in the evening. There was a great gathering in and around the depot The winding roadway leading from the railroad level to the bluff on which the city stands was lined with people, and when Mr. Blaine was driven toward the hotel he received cheer after cheer. The office and corridors of the Kennard House were crowded. Mr. Blaine went at once to his room, but was soon called out bv the Young Men’s Republican Club, who came to pay their respects. He reviewed them •from the hotel balcony. In response to repeated demands for a speech, Mr. Blame said: “1 thank the young men who do me the honor to call upon me so promptly. I think it a hopeful and encouraging sign that in the year 1881 the young men of the United States, more than at any time I have known, are taking an active and prominent part in the national contest I augur from it good results. Again I tender you my thanks for the very kind reception you have given me, and bid you good-night” Before 8 o’clock Monumental Park and the stand from which Mr. Blaine was expected to review the procession were densely crowded. At 9:30 Mr. Blaine was escorted to the Federal bnilding, where numbers of people were presented to him. At about 10 o’clock Mr. Blaine and Gen. Logan, accompanied by ex-Gov. Foster, ex-Benator Hamlin and others, went onto the stand, and stood there uncovered, while the people cheered. It was a late hour before the procession had passed by. Some of the clnbs taking part in the parade came from places seventy miles distant. Gen. Logan spoke briefly at one of the stands, and speeches were made by several other gentlemen.

Foster, Senator Plumb, and other Republican leaders, went to Elyria, where a political meeting was in progress, and made a short speech.

The special train bearing the Republican Presidential candidate left Cleveland at nine o’clock on the morning of Sept 29. A short stop was made at Elyria. A large crowd was collected at the depot, who called loudly for Mr. Blaine, who, on being introduced, made a brief speech. Sandusky was reached about noon. Mr. Blaine and his natty were driven in carnages to the Court House Square, where there was a large meeting. Ex-President Hayes was in the carriage with Mr. Blaine. The Hon. Thos, B. Heed, of Maine, was on the platform. The candidate was introduced by Mr. E. B. King of Sandusky. He said: “This is my third visit to the city of Sandusky and 1 cannot but recall my first. It was in the year 1818, thirty-six years ago. There was but one railroad in Ohio, extending from here to Cincinnati, with a gap in the middle that you had to travel by stage, and this end of it was what was in those days termed the old Mad River line, with strap-tails and a "lively chance for ‘snake-heads’ through the cars as one traveled at fifteen miies an hour. I recall this because it images to my mind more than anything else I know the gigantic progress of this great State, and if yon iiere present—the great majority of you many years my junior—could see Ohio as it then was, contrasted with Ohio as it now is, you would thank God that you live under a tree Government, and have had the opportunity to work out these great results, and you would not think me trenching on pa tisan ground if 1 should remind you that by far the larger part of the p ogress that has been made in those intervening thirty-six years has been made since the Goverment ot the United States came under the control of the Republican partv and th’ country has been blessed with protection to American labor and American capital.” Short halts were made and the usual speechmaking indulged in at Fremont and Clyde Upon the arrival of the train at Toledo, Mr' Blaine was escorted to League Park, on the outskirts of the city, where a hugelv attended R - publican meeting was in progress, and upon being introduced spoke as follows: I should at any time deem it unprofitable to si eak disrespeqtiully of political opponents. 1 should, in my present position, deem it alto-

gether improper. I should rather be thevlctta* of slander than the author of it. But there ar«* some things which I do not deem it unbecoming in me, holding the po-ition I do. to call your at* tention to. The Republican party has govemej the country for twenty-four years in the spiri* and according to the measures of a broad na* ttonality. The progress under our Governmen* In that spirit has far transcended all th* progress made In all the previous years of th* nation’s history. To remand the Govern* ment now to the control of our op* ponents, who do not believe it* the constitutionality of the measure* which have given this progress, would be a ster* backward into the dark. When we argue th* question of protective tariff we are not permit* ted to regard it merely as one to be settled ci* the basis of expediency, because the large ma* jority of onr opponents hold a protective tarilfl to be unconstitutional. There is not one grea* measure that the Republican pirtv has adopted* nor one great step the party has taken since th* inauguration ot Abraham Linco'n in 18s;i, tbs* the Democratic party has not opposed and ha* not considered unconstitutional. So that to* day to remand the Government of the Uniter* States to the control of the Democracy Is no* merely an ordinary change of parties. It is t* total reversal of the entire policy that has dis* tinguished the GovernmenVof the United State* since 1861. ■ “It is giving to the narrowing dogma of Stat* rights the precedence in that grand marril* which has been made and which < ould only b* made under the banner of a broad nationality* It is on that great plane that the Republica* party has done me the honor to pres nt me as* candidate before you. It is on that plane, wit* all that it implies, that I am before you an<9 before all the people of the United States to* day." ■ In the evening Mr. Blaine reviewed a long Re* publipan torchlight procession, many ot the or* ganizations cotping from the adjoining country* and some from quite distant towns. This Re* publican demonstration was to have taken plan* on Sa'urday evening, and its postponement til* Monday brought it on the same evening with t* prearranged Democratic para de. which was also* very large. The rival processions, between* them, seemed to have taken possession of th* entire city, but everything passed oft’ peacefully*

GERMAN DEMOCRATS.

They Hold a Great Mass-Meeting in New* York City. ■ [Associated Press report.] ■ The Academy of Music was crowded to-night* as were the streets in the vicinity, on the occa* sion of the German Democratic mass-meeting* The interior of the building was iiandsomely* decorated and there was a considerable display* of fireworks. Gen. Franz Sigel called the meet-* ing to order. Among the Vice-Presidents were* George Ebert, Henry Clausen, Jr., Philip Ebling* John Eichler, Peter Doelger, Henry Bischoff* Jr., and David G. Yuengling, all brewers. Gen* Franz Sigel, in his opening speech, said: ■ “We don’t believe in prohibition. We want a* Democratic republic. We want- to join the* ranks of the party which ousted the Twee* ring and opposes other rings of the same kind* We want a thorough weeding out of all corrupt* officeholders. May the victorious Democratic* party, with its glorious allies, act from this* standpoint.” * Oswald Ottendorfer, editor of the <S'l«ris* Zei.tuna, was chosen President of the meeting* find was received with cheers. Every mention* by Otten darter or the names of Cleveland and* Hendricks was greeted with cheers. Otten* dorter closed his speech by saying of Cleveland* to the door the friends of corruption and* demagogues: a man who cannot be induced to* leave the path which sound common sense has* shown him to be the right one. For these rea-* sons he has repelled the worst elements in his* party, while Blaine has attracted them. He is a* man perfectly unmoved by the hue andcry raised* by Bntler and Grady and t[.e rabble generally* Hence it was that the declaration in the < hicago* convention by Gen. Bragg, ot Wisconsin, was* applauded to the eeho when he said: ’We love* Cleveland most on account of the enemies he* has made.’ To this great truth is only to be* added: ‘And we oppose Blaine,most strenuous-* ly on account of the friends he has made.’ " * Ex-Gov. Salomon, ot Wisconsin, reviewed the* Mulligan letters, and said he believed Blaine to* be thoroughly corrupt and unworty of the votes* or confidence of the people ot this country. * Joseph Pulitzer, editor of the New York* World, in the course of his speech, said: ■ “The history ot the Stare of Maine is ample* firoot of what Blaine represents. Whv, if the* aws passed in Maine with the full aid and con-* sent of James G. Blaine were still in force to-* day, no foreign-bom citizen would have a vote* to cast for him. Tuis enlightened Republican* State of Maine has for many years prohibited, ■ and does to-day prohibit, ths sale of ale, porter,* lager beer, and other malt liquors, wise ano* cider, as well as all distilled spirits, making it a* criminal offense, punishable by both fine and* imprisonment. I hold that prohibition can have* no place in any system ot government based* upon the will ot the people and the free consent* of the governed. We are guaranteed the In-* alienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit* of happiness. Prohibition is repugnant to every* idea of popular self-government and American* freedom. It is emphatically unconstitutional* revolutionary, and void, destructive, and sub-* vereive of the very foundations of a true repub-* lie, and fraught with danger to its existence.” * Resolutions in the spirit of the speeches were* adopted. The preamble said: g "James G. Blaine is one of .the most fanatical* champions of the most narrow-minded tern-* perance compulsion, and of the political dis-* franchisement of adopted citizens.” a The following telegram from Gov. Cleveland* was read: ■ “I regret that I am not able to attend the* meeting to-night. I hone it will be as success- ■ ful as its most enthusiastic promoters can de-* sire. Gbover Cleveland.” ■ Mayor Edson also sent regrets. Before the* meeting adjourned Carl Schurz appeared on the* platform. His appearance was the signal for the I most enthusiastic and prolonged outburst of* applause that has been heard in this city during* this campaign. The audience simply went half* wild, and shouted and cheered for over three* minutes. At length Schurz, after having been* called to the foo't-liehts, was permitted to say ■ he was weary after his extended trip through* the West. He told his hearers he had met with* the kindest reception all through the West, and* that everywhere he had found great enthusiasm ■ for the Democratic ticket.

NAMING ITS OWN TICKET.

Tammany Hall Holds a County Convention and Nominates Candidates. [New York special to the Chicago Daily News.) John Kelly and Tammany Hall held a county, convention this afternoon and nominated a straight ticket, headed by Aid. Hugh Jr Grant for Mayor. There were 1,307 delegates present, from the twenty-four districts, but they had little or nothing to do except vote aye as the slate was read off. The preliminaries had been arranged at noon, when Mr. Kelly met his leading sachems. Mr. Kelly, as Chairman of the Committee on Organization, called the convention to order, and made a long speech, during which he said, significantly, that he understood the convention to be for the purpose of nominating a Tammany ticket, and not for the purpose of fooling and fussing around with, conference committees of other organizations, and these words were loudly applauded. Speaking of Cleveland, he said: '“We believed that the nomination of Grover Cleveland was an unwise one. We opposed his nomination at Chicago. I am not going to> criticise his qualifications. The community has done that already, and it would be improper for me to hold up Mr. Cleveland as » man whom I believed was incapable and unfitted, and say his nomination was not in accordance with the rules of Democratic conventions. If the criticisms that have been passed: upon him by individuals and by the press are in part correct, let me remind you that equally strong criticisms have been passed by the press and individuals upon Mr. Blaine. W e shall support Grover Cleveland in good faith. Nothing shall be left undone on the part of the organization to induce the men who were formerly adherents to believe that the grievancesof which they complain cannot possibly be remedied by the election of Mr. Blaine. Letour labors be unceasing till the sun goes down on election day. Let us forget the past. Let us, if we have the influence, persuade our friendsto return to their first love—the Democratic party.” Mr. Kelly was not misunderstood. He was stabbing Cleveland with every word, and that was what he meant to do. Nominations followed, and the convention adjourned. Following are the nominations: For Mayor, Aiderman Hugh J. Grant; Controller, ex-Con-gressman P. Henry Dugro; District Attorney, ex-Senator George H. Forster; President of theBoard of Aidermen. Gen. John Cochrane; Coroner, Dr. M J. B. Messemer; Judgesotthe Courtof Common Pleas, Richard L. Larrlmore-, Joseph F. Daly (renominations), and Hugh L. ColeMany of the loyal sachems were indignant, and) so expressed themselves after the convention. The prevailing opinion among Democrats not,connected with Tammany Hall is that Kelly deliberately set to work to divide the Democraticparty in New York County, and he succeeded tn the o' ly wav possible. The County Democracy and Irving Hall will nominate a union ticket, and the Republicans will put in the field a Citizens' Republican ticket, thus effectually dividing tho vote. Miss Marie Van Zandt, the famous creator of the operatic role of “Lakme,” isengiged to marry Waldo Watrous, of New York. They will make their home in-Paris,
