MR. BliA-lNE IN CINCINNATI.

Hla Recaption in the Queen City. Special Dispatch to the Express. CINCINNATI, O., October 2.—The pop

ular feeling for Blaine was tested to-day. He has shaken the city of Cincinnati. The fact that bis boom has depth and intensity is now established. Not only has his presence electrified the thriving country towns of the beautiful valleys of the Hudson and Mohawk, and western Ohio, bat he has moved the great lake cities, and finally to-day has proved his power in the Queen City of the West. This day has been given up to politics business has been noticeably affected all day long. Crowds have hang around the Burnett hoase, watching and waiting for Blaine and Logan to appear. Mr. Blaine has received a number of delegations through the day. Logan visited the exposition and the people went wild over him. In the evening Blaine and Logan were given a reception at the club house. They both made short speeches. At 9 o'clock Blaine and Logan reviewed the greatest political parade ever witnessed in Cincinnati. The scene from the balcony of the Hnrnett house was wildly picturesque and inspiring. As far as the eye could reach it rested on a sea of eager, upturned faceB. Ever and anon hate and hands were

tOBBed

in the air and

tremendous cheering resounded through the streets. It was a strong tumultous scene, and one which will linger long in the minds of those who saw it. For two hours the crowd cheered Blaioe and Logan almost without intermission people hung from all available windows, and men and boys cluDg to the telegraph and electric light poles. The parade was one of surprising magnitude the men were handsomely uniformed, and drilled with their twinkling torches and flashing torches presenting a gorgeous appearance. The cheering waB incessant. Cincinnati never echoed to such muBic as that which shook it to-nigbt. The whole demonstration was marvelous and is largely beyond description. .Press Report,

CINCINNATI, October 2.—Mr. Blaine Breakfasted late this morning. Long before he was accessessable the hotel halls and corridors were crowded with people attracted there by his presence and that of tieneral Logan. AB soon as Mr. Blaine's rooms were opened callers began to pour in, and the pressure continued all morning. Several delegations called to pay their respects, one from the Irish-American Republican League, who presented resolutions and assurances of support one representing the Republicans of Tennessee one sent to urge Mr. Blaine to visit the Leuisville exposition, and one representing the Jewish element. At 12:10 Mr. Blaine was escorted to the Chamber of Commerce where he was very warmly received, being introduced by Capt. W. W. Peabody, president of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Blaine said:

GEHTLXMIN OF TBX CHAMBER OF COMMKROK: I quite appreciate the personal courtesy and compliment, in these times o£ high political excitement, of a body composed of members of both parties receiving me thus cordially in my present position, and I beg to thank yon for it sincerely. I always take the greatest pleafture in visiting yonr city. Eight years ago, on the occasion of my last visit, I was complimented by this chamber as I am to-day. I watch the progress of this oity with great interest. It has been to me,

from

my earliest

boyhood, an object of interest I was bora and reared on waters that connect directly with Cincinnati, and I can say, whBt probably no other man here present can say, that in my early manhood I made fifteen trips between Pittsburg and Cinninnati on steamboats on the Ohio river. That refers to an age now almost antediluvian. (laughter.) The railway has taken the place of the steamboat, and yet, as I have •aid. in congress and on every public occasion where it was proper that I should say it, I think the great western oitiee do not fully appreciate the magnitude of the value and the advantages of

this vaSt inland navigation,

stretching onward to the Gulf, which affords an outlet for avast growth, and gives, in a substantial form, by nature's own bonntoful hand that great demand of all commercial transactions, cheap transportation. [Loud applanse-J I thank yon again, gentlemen, for your i»urtMV. and shall not in a temperature of 90° delay you longer. [Prolonged cheering, during which Mr. Blaine retired.

During the whole day the admirers of Blaine and Logan have kept the Burnet house and its neighborhood as noisy and crowded as a national convention hall, and upon Mr. Blaine return from his drive he had the usual difficulty in getting to his room, and when he did get there, he was not allowed to remain, for the people outj side were provided with a band and kept up a constant storm of national music and cheering, until Blame Logan were forced to show themselves on the hotel balcony. They bowed, and spoke a few words of thankB, ana retired amid the shouts of the crowd. Later Mr. Logan left the hotel to visit the exposition, and again there was upro irions cheering,

The Actor Finally Convinced That He I* a Wreck—Violent Scenes With the Tragedian.

CHICAGO, 111., October 2,—The statement is published here that John McCullough, the tragedian, has not been informed that all his engagements have been cancelled. After rehearsal, Tuesday afternoon, he was shown a letter from J. H. McVicker, in which his illness and consequent inability to do himself justice were specified as reasons for closing the house. The actor was lying down at the time but rose and dressed himself, and in company with his manager went fo McVicker's residence. He was angry at first, but Mr. McVicker succeeded, apparently, in convincing him that the action he had taken was best, and the tragedian returned to his hotel and accepted the situation. He supposed, however, that performances were to be resumed at Detroit, the next place on the route, and nothing was said to disabuse him of hiB error. A_ careful watch was kept upon him at night and all day. Early yesterday morning he read what the newspapers had to say about him, and in the afternoon he went to the Tremont house and told Miss Tracy he intended to go to Detroit at once. She persuaded him to wait until evening. Shortly before a. m. he ordered his carriage sent to the depot, and proceeded to the theater himself. His friends withheld his baggage, and two of Pinkerton's followed him. They found him walking up and down the platform with Miss Tracy, and in an apparently calm frame of mind. By a little strategy Mr. Brooks, his manager, induced him to enter the carriage, and he was driven back to the house. When he arrived he was very excited and angry. He struggled desperately, and struck Brooks with his cane. Another scene followed the attempt to induce him to reach his room. Miss Tracy followed him to the hotel, crying convulsively, but she succeeded in calming the actor, and bringing him to realize that he is not in a condition to fill any engagements for some time to come, Just what McCullough now intends to do could not be learned.

GEORGIA'S ELECTION.

Joseph E. Brown Returned to me United State. Senate. SAVANNAH, Ga., October 2.—There

was no opposition to tbe state Democratic ticket. In a few counties the Republicans had candidates for senators and representatives. The Republicans, however, elected only one or two of their candidates. It is estimated that the whole vote of the state including the Republican vote for members of the legislature is about 100,000. The legislature is overwhelmingly Democratic in both branches. The United States senatorship is not an issue and the temperance question cut no figure in the election.

AUGUSTA, Ga., October 2.—The legislature elected will return Joseph E. Brown to the United States senate. The Independents were defeated in Burke, Greene, and other strongholds. In several counties of this section the Prohibition tickets generally were successful, but creating no Democratic division. Prohibition, in one form or another, exists in ninety of the 137 counties of the state. *£1^'

MT. WASHINGTON, N. H., October 2. —The Glen house anil outbuildings burned last night. The woods adjoining are in a blaze, and there is a strong breeze from the northwest. The fire presented a grand sight from the summit. The house was owned by W. and C. R. Milliken, and closed for the season yesterday. It was one of the largest hotels in the mountain region. A high wind prevailed and caused the flames to spread with great rapidity. All the furniture and fixtures of the house were destroyed. The loss is over $225,COO insurance, $100,000. It will be rebuilt immediately.

Appeal for Intercession.

NBW YORK, N. Y., October 2.—The chamber of commerce resolved that the war between France and China is in danger of imperiling all nations having commercial relations with China, that the time seems opportune for a settlement of the controversy through the intersession of a friendly power, and requesting the president of the United States to take into consider* tion the expediency of co-operating with other treaty powers in endeavoring to bring about an amicable adjustment.

BAY STATE BEN.

The Hon. Benjamin F. Butler in Terre Haute.

He Addressee the Largest Audience of the Season at the Republican Wigwam.

He Passes Sentence Upon the Republicans for What Tbey Have, and Upon the Democrats for What They Hare

Not Done.

He Urges tbe Workingmen to Set* tie the liabor and Capital Qnestion by Ballots, or tbe Outscome will bo War.

Yesterday was the much talked of day upon which the Hon. Benjamin F. Butler was to address his constituents in this city and vicinity. Everybody, Republicans, Democrats, Prohibitionists, Greenback era and AntiMonopolists, were eager to see the honorable gentlemen and hear him speak. Political circles have been on tip-toe of expectancy ever since it was announced he would speak. The culmination of the people's eagerness was a very large crowd, probably the largest crowd that has ever turned out to greet any politician that has ever visited this city.

The 11:40 a.m. train on the Logansport, on which Mr. Butler was a passenger, did not arrive in this city until about 12:40. p.m. Crowds collected at all the stations along the line, hoping to get a glimpse of the general. At Rockville a ten minutes stop was made and Mr. Butler appeared on the rear platform amid great cheering and made a brief speech.

The general was met at the depot by a reception committee consisting of Messrs. Harry Brown, Louis Guerineau, Morton C. Rankin, and J. H. Allen. The Apollo band headed the procession which escorted the speaker to the Terre Haute house. He immediately dined. One o'clock was the hour set for the speech to commence. Long before that hour a large crowd had collected about the Terre Haute house. Many of tbe most ardent admirers had stationed themselves in the wigwam as early as 12 o'clock. Immediately after noon the crowd began to pour in the wigwam, and by the appointed time it was completely packed. The Seventh street entrance to the hotel was surrounded by a large crowd and the street between the hotel and the wigwam was densely blockaded with carriages and people. The day was quite warm and ia the wigwam the heat was intense, and was as bad if not worse than a the sun. Many persons took advantage of the shade on the south side of Main street until it was completely lined with people. The lobby of the hotel was crowded. The alley back of the wigwam was crowded with buggies and a large assemblage which could not gain admittance to the wigwam but could hear the speaker. It is difficult to make an estimate of the crowd. There were at least 3,000 under roof, and probably 2,000 standing outside. Mapy who never attend political meetings were attracted to the wigwam. Hundreds who had a curiosity to see Mr. Butler came and departed soon after. resent from railroads many took advantage of them. From Rockville there were forty-nine excursionists. Ten thousand is a low estimate of the number of people who saw the general during his short stay. The crowd in the wigwam was so dense that several sections gave way during the speaking. Fortunately no one was injured.

Mr. W. H. Brown, chairman of the Greenback county ^committee at half past one o'clock stated thatMr. Butler was tired and was at that time at dinner. To occupy the interval until the arrival of the speaker, Mr. Leonard, candidate for governor was introduced. Everything was buzzing for Butler. The crowd awaited his arrival with much impatience, owing to the uncomfortable position in which they were. Mr. Leonard spoke under great difficulties and it was almost impossible to hear him. He was speaking of the power of congress to create money but of paper when cries of "Butler, Butler" were heard and he was obliged to cease.

As Gen. Butler appeared in the hotel entrance he was cheered and when he made entrance to the wigwam the cheering was deafening. Men cheered and waived'their hats and the ladies, of whom there was a great many present, waved their handkerchiefsand arasols. The outburst of applause asted several minutes before it subsided enough to warrant an attempt by Mr. Brown to introduce the general. He said he would introduce a man who dared to say that the laboring man produced the wealth of the country and should share in its benefits. Further remarks were drowned by the confusion of the crowd in being seated and by prolonged appl%Uje$.

Gen. Butler's Bpeech.-'f,-.

The general stepped to the front amid great confusion, and it required considerable time to restore quiet. He asked the audience to keep still. He oonld not make himself heard while every one else was talking. If they wished to hear him they most be silent. He said they were an Anti-monopoly party, and no one could have more room than be was entitled to. The following ia a synopsis of his speech:

I have never seen a more quiet and orderly assembly. I mean what I say. The- audience is eo uncomfortable that it is reasonable to suppose that it should be noisy. I came here on business, and I desire that you refrain from cheers. I could tell many stories that would amuse you, and could make faces that would bring forth laughter. But I hare more

serious business. It is a momentous occasion, and the privilege of free discussion granted in this country is of incalculable value. It is a privilege that is granted by no other country on the face of the earth with so great liberality. The progress of this country has been marvelous and its power is of wonderful development. Why, nnder such brilliant cirenmstanoee, is not ersry one blessed with prosperity? Why is it that every man that will work can not find emyloymentf As I was on my way to this city the train stowed at a little village above hero called Roeedale. I was informed that the miners were recieving seventy cents per ton for mining oofcl. Deducting expenses for powder, hooae rent and other items, the miners do not realise a net amount of $10 of their month's earnings to feed and clothe their wives and children. How do you expect a man to support a family (m $10 aj month! You may say, "O, well, let them move away and find some place where their labor will be better rewarded." I inquire how are they to move? They have not the money. With all the bountiful provision of Providenoe, there are awn starving in the

east and in want and destitution in the west What is the cause of such a state of affaire? I will tell you. It is because of the necessaries of life being monopolized. Armour & Co. two and a half millions speculating in lard last week. If a man steals a pig what do we do with him? Send him to the penitentiary, of course. What then, let me ask, should be done with a man who makes two and a h»lf millions speculating in lard? [Cries of "Hang him."] Yes, there is no punishment too severe for such men.

I propose to enunciate still farther doctrines. The audience is very larx* and those who do not like my remarks can leave ["Hit 'em hard, Ben."J New, don't talk I know all about the speech I am making. The railways are another means of causing the demoralization of wages and the wretched condition of the country. Take the western roads for an example.

Is it not the people that consume articles shipped over the road? Why, when I was in Iowa, recently, I rode over a railway that was mortgaged at the rate of 164,000 per mile. I know that it did not cost over $10,000 a mile to build it. It is axiomatic that ailway competition means in the end combination. People say that rates between the east and the west are reasonable. Yes, that is true but there are middlemen, the fast freight lines, which make "skin bargains" with the companies. The- managers get rich and the companies are kept poor.

Another cause of the stagnation in business circles is due to the influence money exerts. The statement is made that Ben. Harrison said that nobody but ah idiot believes money can be made out of paper. Who is this Harrison that calls all men idiots that may differ with him? I am told that he had a grandfather who was at one time president of the United States. Bet what has he done for tho benefit of the laboring classes? I hope the day* of abuse of the Greenbackers are over. They never abused those of different opinions but always pitied. The prevailing opinion was that the Greenbackers intended scattering greenbacks all over the country. There is not a single greenback issued but what there is an equivalent value in the treasury. Now, the Democrats and Hepublicans when in congress limited the issue of greenbacks. In 1878 there was great prosperity and the greenback circulation amounted to $14 to each inhabitant. Now with a population of 55,000,000 there is about $7 in greenbacks in circulation to every inhabitant. This is a key to thewhole situation. This I charge is the cause of the present troubles. It is the the cause of troops being ordered to Hocking Valley to shootdown miners because they can not, and refuse to work for 70 oents a ton and refuse to permit Hungarians to do it* When times are good the workingmen are well paid, and when workingmen are well paid times are good. The workingmen of this country consume all manufactured goods and all produce except a part of wheat and corn which is exported to foreign countries. When times are good, when men can find employ* ment, then there is a home market, and everything is consumed. This brings us to a discussion

Of t"jt

THB TARIFF.

I have heard men talk about the tariff until I have imagined they thought it was something to eat,

great was their ignorance.

Yon farmere in Indiana are more prosperous than those of Kansas, because you have factories near at hand and' your products find a home market. Build up your manufactories and all you produce will find a ready market and high prices. This can be built up in no other way than by a tariff. Tariff is derived from thetown Tarifia,on the Mediterranean, where tolls were first collected from vessels. Hit -definition of the term is plain. It is a toll on all shipping, a tax put upon imports by the government. Why should there not be a tariff? This is the beet market in the world. The anxiety of England is to get into this country for a market. She has turned her fields into manufactories. She wants us to fed her men, and she supply us with manufactured articles. Her men work for two-thirds the wages that ours do. Hence she can undersell us one-third. The government puts a tax upon her articles to bring it up to our price and exclude her from competing in our markets. There is the tariff in a nutshell. Everybody agrees, except probably the southern oligarchy, that the tariff is to keep up the price of our articles. This tariff is called a Republican tariff, because it was passed by them when the democrats had withdrawn from the Union, and I think the Democrats should have some of the honor. It is true the Republican party passed the tariff law with no particular care. In their hurry they were inclined to tax everything. Undor a protective tariff the government paid over 7 percent, intereston its bonds, while free trade England pays about 8 per cent. There are many inequalities in the present tariff system. There was not the care that should have been taken in its formation. The object of a tariff iB to protect American labor and not capital. I agree that the present tariff was right for war times, but that was twenty yews ago. The Democrats cannot amend the tariff because they don't know how, because they have been out of power so long that they do not know anything about its revision. They had power in the last congress. What did they do?. Col. Morrison, of Illinois, a gentleman for whom I have the highest regard, was chairman of the committee of ways ana means. He 1B a free trader and has aright to his belief. The committee went to work to modify the tariff. After three months they found they did net know anything about it and reported the Morrison bill, which provides for a horizontal reduction of the tariff of 20 per cent This would bring more revenue into the treasury, for the 20 per cent, reduction would allow artioles to enter the country which had hitherto been excluded. If the tariff is unequal, how much more equality would there be by a horizontal reduction of 20 per cent.?

I was in congress I tried

to get the Democrats to deal with this question. I have been a manufacturer for over thirty years, and I am well Informed on the tariff question. I have been in public life for about thirty years, and know that the Democratic ]»rty can not right the tariff. I went to the Chicago convention, and asked the Democrats to pass upon a tariff plank. I asked that they declare in favor of labor. I asked for the insertion of one or two anti-monopoly planks. I told them that I had 1,500,000 Greenbackera and Anti-Monopoly supporters that would vote the Democratic ticket if ey would insert these planks. They id: "We oan't have this fellow in the party for he would make it a Greenback and Anti-Moawpoly party." I asked if they would put tea and coffee and the necessaries of life on the free list and they said yes if they would allow all raw material to come in free, they said yes if they would tax all luxuries, they said yes if they would raise no more revenue than was necessary, they said yes if they would take care and adjust the tariff so as to protect American labor and enterprise, they said no. The committee divided squarely on this point. They would not agree to it. They remained out thirty-six hours and returned having no honest conception of the tariff. I wanted a tribunal to decide all contest, between labor and capital, wanted American laoor protected. I wanted an appropriation for the education of laboring men's children. No, they would not agree to it.

The Republican party is a grand old party. I know it, because I helped to form the party and was a member of it. Its first work, the freeing of the slaves, was well done and every body can chew that reoord. Protection was another aot of the Republican party. Hut that was twenty years ago. For all the years since there hsm't been honesty enough to insure a fair oount. The pKty has been in un

THE HON." E, C. PIERCE

Addresses the Repablicans at the Wigwam Last Night.

A Stirring Speeoh Devoted Mostly to the Discussion of the Tariff Question—His Opinion of the Candidate*.

Yesterday was a gala day in Terre Haute as regards politics. The great Butler demonstration in the afternoon was followed by a large Re. publican rally in the evening. The oppressive heat daring the afternoon had subsided by evening and the result was a very large attendence. The Hon. Edwin O. Pierce, q^Rhode Island, wasannouncedto Bpeak,* A proeesaion headed by the Apollo band escorted the speaker to the wigwam. It consisted of four large companies of Blaine and Logan escorts. Before the speaker arrived the wigwam was almost completely filled, a great many standing without the enclosure. The arrival of Mr. Pierce was greeted with loud applause. Col. R. W. Thompson was chosen to preside. He made a very pithy and pointed speech in introducing the speaker, and drew forth the heartiest applause. Mr. Pierce is a good speaker, and held the closest attention throughout his speech, which consisted ftiostly of a discussion of the tariff question.

The speaker after a few introductory remark, said that a celebrated German philosopher had Baid that the parts of the lowest orders of animals mostly resembled each other. The higher in the scale of the animal kingdom, the greater diversity of parts. Thus it is with the tariff question. A tarifl protecting all kinds of manufactures affords greater diversity to enterprise. It is just what is needed in this country. Ireland flourished at the beginning of this century, and had many manufacturing establishments. England became amazed at the prosperity the island wa^fiD^aying and became alarmed regarding her safety if these manufactories were allowed to continue. In order that she might crush out the Irish she placed a free trade system upon the island. You all know what fallowed—famine, destruction and death. England has a commercial ally in the nation of Peru. As such she has been urging on Peru to get control of Ohili, in order that an addition to her interests may be made. In Peru wool raising is the chief emloyment of the natives. The ock8 are watched and taken care of by ^he semi barbarous people who wear little clothing and do not have to protect themselves from the cold of winter on account of location. It is for tbe purpose of keeping thin wool out of our market that a tariff is placed upon the staple, we could not compete with. England seeks thiB wool most eagerly because it can be gotten very cheap. Another example of the benefits of a protective tariff is illustrated in watchmaking. Not long jo I bought a Waltam watch for $55. pon reliable authority I waB informed that a few years ago the watch could not have been bought for less than

We have no more use for Swiss watches with sueh works as the Waltam and the Elgin.

The speaker continued the discussion of the tariff question still further, and closed it by stating Blaine's record as a protectionist. He is a friend of the laboring man. and deserves tbe hearty support of all. The speech was dosed with a discussion of the different candidates. Blaine's record was reviewed. He iB undoubtedly one of the greatest of living statesmen. Gen. J. A. Logan was referred to as a brilliant soldier, and»a statesman. Cleveland's vetoes were shown up to be against the laboring classes and in favor of capital. Thomas A. Hendricks, being a resident of this state, his record is well known, and need not be referred to.

Three rousing cheers were given for the speaker and the national ticket, af ter which the meeting adjourned.

FKLLOW-CrnzaNS: I can hardly tell the people of Buffalo how I rejoice to-night and how grateful I am for this demonstration of the confidence and esteem of my friends and fellow-citizens. I have resided among you, and in thiB city where all my success in private life bas been acheived for nearly thirty .yeais. To-night I come to you aftertho longest absence that has occured in all that time and yet within the few weeks that hare passed since I saw you last an event has happened of supreme importance to me and that places me within the nation's gaze. The honor it has brought to me I ask my fellow-townsmen to share, while I acknowledge with grateful heart all that they in the past have done for me. [Applause.] But two short years ago you stood steadily by my side in every effort of mine as the chief eaecutive of our city to advance its internets and welfare. Whatever I was able to accomplish of value to this oommunity was largely due to your strong and intelligent support nor I can ever forget the generous endorsement you gave my candidacy for the high office which I now hold in the state, and I assure you that in its administration I have received no greater encouragement than the approval of myfriendi? at home. What I have seen and heard to-night has touched me deeply. It tells me that my neighbors are still my friends and assures me that I have not been altogether unsuccessful in my efforts to deserve their confidence and attachment. In the years to come I shall deem myself not far wrong if I still retain their opinion, and if surrounding cares and perplexities bring but anxiety and vexation, I shall find solace and comfort in the memory of the days spent here and in recalling the kindness of my Buffalo friends. But other friends are here to-night and to all who tender me their kindly welcome I extend a heartfelt greeting as citizens with mo of the greatest commonwealth in the sisterhood of states, and one immensely interested in the general weal. Because I love my rtat* and her people I can not refrain from reminding you 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 aad greatness (applause] and let me leave you with the thought that your safety lies in imprdbsing upon the endeavor of those entrusted with the guardianship of your rights and interest, a pure, patriotic ana exacting popular sentiment. The character of the government can hardly rise higher them the source from which it springs, and the integrity and faithfulness of public servants is not apt to be greater than the people demanded. [Great cheering.]

WATERED WHISK¥. A

Fraudulent Receipt. For Three Thousand Barrel, of Whisky. LOUISVILLE, Ky., October 2.—A re

ceipt for 3,000 barrels of whisky have been found by investigating the affairs of Newcomb, Buchanan & Co. The trustees refuse to make public the names of the victims. George Buchanan, who has been missing since the

city. The Evening Thrfta says "We have been authorized to state on the authority of Mr. George Buchanan himself that irregularities in the business of Newcomb, Buchanan & Co,, in the matter of duplicate warehouse receipts involve from 4,000 to 5,000 barrels of whisky on which from $50,000 to 160,000 was realized. That books of the company will account for every dollar thus raised and show that every cent of it was used in company's efforts to tide over breakers in which it was involved. Two years ago, when Buchanans got an extention from creditors, their liabilities amounted to $1,650,000. Within those two years they have paid off $550,000 of principal and from $200,000 to $250,000 in interest. They have, delivered to customers about 10,000 barrels and of whisky of 70,000 barrels now in bond no complications exist except as to 4,000 or 5,000 barrels. They believe that by caresul administration the assets will pay off- every dollar of both corporte and individual debts, and that if the expectation of eary revival in trade is fulfilled there will be a surplus over all liabilities. These statements are from Mr. Buchanan himself.
