MR. BLAINE.

The Joarnajr From Canton to Colum. baa Yesterday. Special Dispatch to the Express.

COLUMBUO, Ohio, October 9.—Mr, Blaine's journey was through one of the most beautiful sections of Ohio today, and he was cordially and royally greeted by the people at all points accessabie by the railroads. The train stopped a few minutes at Orrville. The hour was early but the depot and the adjoining streets were crowded. Mr. Blaine spoke briefly and said he halted the train partly for the purpose of grasping the band of his old college friend, Wm. Orr, who resided there. Mr. Orr was the elected valedictorian of Mr. Blaine'B class at Wooster, the* seat of the flourishing university of that name. Mr. Blaine was driven to a large Btand on the public square. He addressed a large number of people, and urged them to vote in October and to vote for McKinley. Judge Tenny, of Brooklyn, followed Mr. Blaine. On the platform at Wooster was Mrs. Vandorn, in whose house Mr. Blaine was married. At the depot just as the train was about to pull out, Dr. Black, a college classmate of Mr. Blaine, leaped on the platform and heartily embraced Mr. Blaine The people cheered again and again. Mrs. Black exclaimed, "Ob, Mr. Blaine, I wish the ladies could vote for you." The great number of ladies present applauded the remark enthusiastically. The ladies ever since Mr. BlaiDe left New York have flocked in great numbers to Bee him, and they never lose an opportunity to manifest their admiration in some pleasant way. At Loudonville a lady entered the car and was introduced to Mr. Blaine. Said she "I only wanted to see yon, Mr, Blaine, to tell you I have just named a little son for you." "He is a bright little fellow," said Mr. Blair e, as he stooped aud kissed the rosy baby's face. James 6. Blaine Pinkerton is the child's full name. The mother's face fairly beamed when Mr. Blaine saluted her boy. It is a Democratic town. There was a large crowd at the station, however, and they cheered Mr. Blaine heartily.

Ohio is thoroughly aroused. If the organization is as fine as the enthusiasm somebody will get an enormous majority next Tuesday. There probably has been no campaign in Ohio which has BO aroused the people's interest since 1840. The people of Ohio are deeply stirred, yet neither the Democrats nor the Republicans claim the State by a large majority, There are BO many uncertain factions entering into the canvass this year that the statisticians are confused and fear to hazard a prediction. Mansfield, the home of Senator Sherman, is a Democratic city, yet there were no indicatinos of it to-day. At the depot several companies of Plumed Knights met Mr. Blaine and escorted him to" he park. The streets through which he passed were gay with banners and bunting. Ten thousand people were grouped before the pavillion. Mr. Blaine spoke for about seven minutes and was followed by Judge A. W. Tenney, of New York, an able orator who has been with Mr. Blaine since he left New \ork and who is remarkably successful in charming the attention of large and surging crowds. Mr. Blaine bad no

finished his remarks than he was seized by a horde of autograph collectors who vociferously asked for his signature. He was compelled to write his name for forty or fifty before he could reach his carriage. At the depot Senator Sherman who had just returned from Cincinnati met Mr. Blaine and talked with him for a moment. Mr. Blaine visited the fair grounds at Mt. Gilead. 15,000

were gathered there to hear

im. The total population of the county is only 20,000. Mr. Blaine and Governor Foster made short nonpartisan speeches in excellent taste and keeping with the occasion. The Old College City of Delaware gave Mr Blaine a tremendious reception. He was met at the depot by a dozen companies of uniformed clubs and horsemen who escorted him by beautifully decorated streets to the court house where 15,000 people were massed on the open square. Deafening applause greeted Mr. Blaine when he stepped Forth on the balcony. Mr. Blaine has made a circuit of the state of Ohio and it has been an unbroken round of popular ovations, surpassing in magni tude, ir tensity of enthusiasm any political demonstrations ever seen in the state. Mr. Blaine spends the night in Colambas and conferred with mem bers of the state committee.

The rresB Report.

LONDONVILLE, O. October 9.—Mr. Blaine left Canton this morning at 9 9 o'clock by special train on the Pittaburg, Ft Wayne & Chicago for Wooster, Crestline and Columbus. At Or i-ville, a wnall station where the train made the first stop, several hundred people were collected. Mr, Blaiue spoke a few words in advocacy of the re-election of Mr. McKinlev, The next stop was at Wooster. Here -Mr. Blaine left the train and went up to a stand on the public square, where about 5,000 people had assembled.

importance of the tariff as an issue in the campaign and urging there-election of Mr. McKinley. The Hon. A. W. Tenney also spoke briefly. During the speaking a body of students from the Wooster university marched up to the stand and cheered for Blaine and Logan. At the depot, just as Mr. Blaine was about to get upon the train, general attention was attracted by the affectionate demonstration of an elderly gentleman who was actually embracing him. This proved to be the ftev. Dr. Black, a profe^G? in the Wooster Uni-j^r^ty, Another old college mite, tlis wife accompanied him and seemed almost as much pleased as her husband to see Mr. Blaine.

COLUMBUS, O, October 0.—There were few people at the depot,but there were several thousahd assembled in the square ilx the heart of the city, to which Mr. Blaine Was escorted in the usual way. Mr. Hedges, the Republican candidate for congress, having introduced bito as the next president of the United States, Mr. Blaine said

I object to my friend introducing me in that Way. We will talk about that after Tuesday next. [Cheers.] Bat I see good angaries for Tuesday in the fact the people of Ohio seem to be thoroughly aroused. (Cheersi) In all my political experience 1 haVe never seeh the people thttW thoroughly awake to ttieir duty than the people df.Ohid seeihto be fit this tame. Your duty in this caihpaign is exceptionally important. Tou have both your own immediate duty and a vicarious duty. You &K> to rote on Tuesday not only for yourselves but for the whole United States. You are to set the mark for the Republican high tide. (Cheers.) I confess I hare great confidence in the vote of Ohio, for since the election of Salmon P. Chase as governor of your state in 1856. I liave never knbwn a year when Ohio was aroused that fihe did not give a Republican majority (Cheers.) You have never had before yoii a more distinct issue than you hsVe this ybat. There has never been & more clean cut division between the parties. At the beginning of a political campaign a great many issues are in the people's minds, but as the contest grows serious they begin to eliminate the incidental points, and finally, as the parties COfiverge tort come face to face there is always one great overshadowing issue that controls the multitude of voters. I assume that that isshe the present year is the protective tariff, (bra I am sore there is not a shite in the Union that hns profited more under the protective system, or that is more deeply interested in its maintenance than Ohio. [Cheers.] That being the case and the further condition that Ohio ranks as .hig^h 'in intelligence as any state in the Union, it cannot be doubted that you will see your way clear to protect and ih&intain your own interests. I do not stop to argue other questions I do not stop even to dwell for a moment on the achievements of the Republican party on what it has done for the Union, for the cause of human liberty. I do not dwell OR these because I do not choose to divert your minds even for a moment from the one overpowering and overwhelming issue that shonld engage vonr whole attention until after Tuesday next. [Cheers.] And especially should it engage your attentibn in your congreeuional districts. Colonel Boynton used to say in argument when he got very close to the point, that he had his "knife on the nerve." When you vote for representatives in congress your votes are reaching the very nerve of all tjuoetions relating to our industrial system, including the protective tariff, because it is through your representatives in congress that you make your will primarily, distinctly and impressively understood and felt. ThiB is a town which I have long desired to visit. I have enjoyed a friendship that goes back almost into boyhood's days, with your distingnised fellow-citizen, Senator Sherman, and I have long desired to stand before his neighbors, constituents, and friends. I rtinnlr you 'for this kind reception, and bid you good-bye.

At Crestline there was a large crowd around the depot and Mr. Blaine spoke briefly from the

Becond

story of

the building. He spoke of the great importance of the state election in October because of its bearing upon the national election and upon tariff legislation in the next congress. At Mount Gilead, ex-Governor Foster joined the party again. Here Mr. Blaine left the train to attend the Morrow county fair, to which he had been invited by the managers. There were fully 15,000 people on and around the fair ground. Governor Foster introduced Mr. Blaine, who spoke briefly from the judge'sstand as follows:

The agricultural fair is the non-partisan assemblage of the American people. To-day we are all Republicans and all Democrats. Better than either Republican or Democrat, we are American citizens, (applause.) It is in that capacity that I greet you. It is in that capacity that I congratulate you on the abundant prosperity thatbleeses this community, on the great development the state of Ohio has attained, on its greet history and on its great future, (renewed applause.)

Mr. Blaine was followed to the depot by a great crowd who cheered him repeatly as they ran along the streets and at tfae departure of the train. Delwane was reached just before dark and considering the size of the pi tee the reception here was phenomenal. The streets were crowded and the enthusiasm of the people was as remarkable as their numbers. Blaine was introduced by Judge Jones and when the storm of cheering and 3houting with which he was received had subsided he returned thanks for the kind reception given him and said:

I have never seen a population in motion as the population of Ohio seems to-day. [Cheers. From that fact I antioioate a great Republican vote on Tuesday next.' [Great cheering. I want Ohio to feel and to know that the vote ot Taeeday next is an important vote, and the responsibility rests upon the Republicans of thisstate. The Republican party is fortunate in having the support of a vast majority of the young men of the country. [Cheers.] As I have said before, there is no instance in the political history of this nation of any party jeing beaten that had in a large degree the sympathy and support of the young men. [Renewed cheers.] I see before me a large number of young men who are collegians, and who add to the power of youth the power of education and culture. To them and to their fellows we look as a great source of strength in the canvass. [Cheers.]

At this point the Hon. C. B. Farwell, of Chicago, joined the party. No other stop was made until the train reached Columbus. In view of the great demonstration here last week the understanding was that there should be none on this occasion, but there was a large crowd in the depot awaiting the arrival of the train, who

pressed

around Mr. Blaine and cheered him as he passed out. He entered a carriage and tried to dine quietly at the house of his cousin Mr. Miller, but a body of young Republicans bearing torches insisted on escorting him in the usual noisy way. Mr. Blaine will spend the night at his cousins house, and will go to-morrow through the Scioto valley to Lancaster.

If Ohio is not for Blaine then popular demonstrations lie. 1 have Been the gatherings of both parties now, and I can say with truth that the greatest of the Demoferatite demonstrations were insignificant in comjafiBon with the majestie congregations of the Republicans of Obio.

The air has been dark' all these days with the smoke of saluting cannon, or lurid with the glare of rockets shot so high into the skies of night that they seemed to burst against the stars. The Bhoutings of the swaying multitudes Bounded like the roar of the angry seas, arid, in fact, I doubt if such proof of personal devotion to a human being has been seen upon this earth since Napoleon landed at Cannes, and marching almost alone, as regarded soldiers, throtigh France, he ascended the imperial tkjrone without firing a shot in anger, whatever may be the outcome of this campaign, Mr. Blaine can congratulate himself on being the hero of the American heart—men, women and children—all seem to have caught the infection of this extraordinary and phenomenal enthusiasm. Even the most bitter Democrats are compelled to adtait that they never saw anything to equal this popular outburst.

Millionaire Buchtel's Prediction. CANTON, Ohio., October 9.—The

Buchtel, the millionaire Democrat of Akron, said last night: «'If Ohio goeB Republican in October, Cleveland will be surely defeated, as fully one-third of the Democrats of Ohio will vote for Butler in November." Buchtel says he. has traveled all over the dtate, and finds the Butler boom growing wonderfully. Over fifty Irishmen employed at his manufactory at Ackron will vote for Butler.

the Coles Countyi Ul.t Blot Speoimen of Democracy in 1864—Tho Sebi® Gang Will Vote for Cleveland.

In Coles county, 111., during the war was the headquarters of the worst gang of Democratic copperheads in the North. In some portions it was worth a Union man's life to epeak Union sentiments in the presence of Democrats. One would hardly think that in Illinois, within sixty miles of Terre Haute, grass grows over, graves filled with soldiers who were killed by bullets shot from guns held in Democratic arms. These soldiers cannot tell the story, but it is remembered. On the 28th of March, 1864, about a hundred of desperate copperheads assembled at Charleston, Coles county, where the circuit court was in session. A few soldiers of Fifty-fourth Illinois Veterans were there on a furlough. It was at the most critical period of the war, when treason stalked boldly abroad in the land, like a Btrong

Casson was fiftyyearB of age, and highly esteemed, fie has a family of married children. He had accidently fallen into Boyer's company. Heilner finally confessed that he fired the fatal shots, intending to kill only Boyer. The latter he says came to his house Tuesday afternoon and taunted him with his wife's infidelity, and her love for him. He did not regret killing Boyer, but was sorry for the death Canon.

DOWN BRAKES

la the Signal the Pennsylvania Gives the Chesapeake & Ohio.

And Shows the Baltimore & Ohio that It Is Not Discriminated Against. yf

Quite Unexpected.

The prevalent feeling since the action against the B. & O. by the Pennsyl-vania-railroad in ordering off all B. & O. passenger trains from the Pennsylvania lines between Baltimore and New £ork has been that owing to antiquated hostilities the E. & 0. was being discriminated against. This opinion

now knocked in the head by another notice to connecting lines, which places the Chesapeake & Ohio in the same position as far as its relations with the Pennsylvania is concerned. This order readB as follows, and takes effect on the same day as the B. & 0. order:

On and after October 12, 1884, in the division ot through rates between New York, Philadelphia, and other points on our lines and common points in the wset via the Chesapeake & Ohio, the following revised basis will take effect: First, on unlimited tickets full local rates east of Washington, D. C., will be charged. Second, on limited first or second class, theatrical, or any othertickets below the grade of first-class, unlimited, we will require as arbitraries east of Baltimore our regular first-class local fares, but of the remainder of through tates after deducting said arbitraries and twenty cents for Baltimore tunnel (to bo included in Pennsylvania proportion) and fifty cents for Virginia Midland railway, we will accept a pro-rata per mile, proportion based on forty miles between Baltimore and Washington the pro-rate proportion thus determined to be added to the arbitrary local rates east of Baltimore, and reported to Pennsylvania railroad company, Third, on all nipaaflH of tickets to Baltimore proper our local rate of $1.20 will be required. & 4

Receiver Asked For.'

In the Superior court at Evansville a suit has been filed by Henry Keis, trustee agent of the Louisville, Evansville & St. Louis railway, and Noble C. Butler and the Mercantile Trust company of New York, trustees. In the complaint the plaintiff says that on the 1st day of September, 1881, the Evansville, Rockport & Eastern Railway company was a corporation duly organized under the laws of this state, and operating a railroad in several counties in this state, and that said road was seventy-two and a half miles long.

Sept. 1 said company issued and delivered to William Heilman, W. F. Nisbet, J- Mackey, R. K. Dunkeraon and others, 900 bonds of $1,000 each, payable in 1921, with interest at Bix per cent. Among other things the complain ant says that the road has been badly managed and that at the present time the trains can not run on full time and that the rolling stock is in such a bad condition that the cars can not carry full weight of freight

The complaint mentions many debts hanging over the railroad company, and among them the E. & T. H. is entitled to $2,000 for rent of rolling stock. Besides this, there is not less than $30,000 operating expenses due to outside parties. The road is three months behind in paying employes. The complaint says that the road is BO run down that if the present management remain in control longer the road will not be worth the amount of the mortgage bonds, and in consequence asks the appointment of a receiver, who qh»n have full control of the property that the debts shall be paid. ______

The statement of live stock forwarded east from St. Louis for the month of August has juBt been published and Bhows the number of cars transferred by the I. & St L. to be 514 number of head 33,682. The Vandalia moved 441 cars number of head 28,834.

As far as the direct conflict between the Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio railroad is concerned nothing new has transpired. The general opinion is that hostilities will be begun in a few days by the B. & O. by ordering a large reduction in rates to eastern points and thus inaugurate a general war on eastern passenger business. "I'll get 'Wade' and then take the Wabash for all principal points North, East and West." This inscription is above the picture of a neatly dressed young lady on a pair of Fairbank's scales. It is a novel method of advertising introduced by District Passenger Agent Frank Wade, of the Wabash, with headquarters at Indianapolis. It is feared that punning on his own name and scattering the ad. promiscuously will be the cause of making Frank Wade through a sea of difficulties and personal abuses.
