FROM NEW YORK TO BUFFALO

Blaine’s Journey Through the Empire State—Haml-Shaking and Speech-31 akiug. >. . Mr. Blaine left New York for his Western tour on the morning of Sept. 21. Stops were made at all the principal towrts along the route. At Peekskill, Cold Spring, Fifclikill, Poughkeepsie, and Hudson large ciowUs 'gathered at the depots to get a sight of the Republican Presidential candidate, who made a brief speech at each stopping-place. Albany was reached at 1.45 p.m. An immense crowd was in waiting, every available toot of grouud being occupied, with many on the tops of cars and on the roof of the'depot. Mr. Blaine was presented by the Hon. Hamilton Harris, and stood bowing for some time before getting a chance to speak. When the cheering subsided he made a short address. arid retired amid great applause. Alter leaving Albany the tiist halt was made at Schenectady. The Presidential candidate was presented to the crowd by Judge Potter, and made another speech. The same scenes were repeated at Fonda, Fort Plain, Little Falls, Herkimer, Canastota, Utica and Rome. At Syracuse, w;bere the train arrived at nightfall, the Republicans made a great demonstration in honor of their candidate. All the local marching clubs tu:ned out with torches, and were reviewed by. Mr. Blaine from a stand erected for the purpose. He addressed the crowd as iollows: “This vast assemblage is far more eloquent than any words I could speak. It tells far more of the popu'ar current and popular drift respecting public than anything l could say, and, therefore, Respecting tuose topics I shall say nothing, but shall coniine myself to simple but heartfelt thanks lor so much of this grand demonstration as may in any degree be attributed to myself as a personal compliment. I am sufe, however, that it would be great vanity in.me to assume that more than a small part of it is so intended—that it is rather the expression of the people of this noble Empire State touching public questions, which I shall leave others to discuss when 1 bid you, as I now do, a cordial good-night.” It was almost It o’clocit when Mr. Blaine left the stand and repaired to Senator McCarthy's house, where he passed the night. Chauncey Depew addressed the meeting after Mr. Blaine left. Speeches were made at the other stands by Martin L Townsend and James W. Husted. Mr. Blaine was waited upon the next morning at Syracuse by a committee from the Fair Association of the Oswego Agricultural Society for the purpose of escorting him to the fair grounds. The people llocked into, the room where Mr. Blaine was, and he hail to stop and shake hands with them. One of the incidents of the morning was an old larmer, who pushed his way to the front and said: "Your honor, I have some fine cattle out thar at that fair. and I want you to look at ’em and let me know whether they’ve got the cattle disease or not,” Mr. -Blaine smiled, and said he was not much of a judge of cattle. He was escorted to the carriage and driven around the grounds, after which he was introduced to the crowd and said: "There is no year in the history of the United States in which, through all its borders, the agriculturist has rejoiced as he does this year. There are no politics in agriculture. The crop for Democrat and for Republican is alike good or alike bad. The need of product is alike to Democrat and to Republican. We meet, therefore, on the agricultural fair grounds, if nowhere else, on the broad planeof American citizenship, which is a much higher title than Democrat or Repblican. It,is in that capacity I stand before you this morning, and it is in that capacity I extend to you my congratulations and my very hearty thanks for your generous reception." The party then returned to the city, and the trip to the West was resumed. At Auburn the arrival of the train was heralded by the firing of cannon and the explosion of torpedoes. Mr. Blaine was introduced and spoke as follows: “I thank you, citizens of Cuyuga County, for this reception. Iconfess that 1 am glad to be here. lam glad to visit the home of William H. Se« ard. If there be among the statesmen of the past one who more deserves the admiration and gratitude of the American people than your great citizen I do not know his name, and if there be a higher statesmanship in the annals of America than was shown by Mr. Seward from 1819-to the close of the civil war, I know not where it was recorded, and we may all learn great lessons from recalling his history, and may well profit by his example. If we are Republicans we shall be quickened in our zeal, and if Democrats we shall learn toleration, if simply American citizens we shall be warmed and stimulated in our patriotism. It is as a humble representative ot' the great principles which Seward vindicated throughout nis illustrious life that lam before you to-day. But lam not herb to make a political speech; I am fibre only to acknowledge with gratitude and thankfulness the great cordiality of your reception, and to wish you abundant prosperity and happiness.” After leaving Auburn the train proceeded l to Waterloo before making any lengthy stop. At Cayuga and Seneca Falls large crowds were at the depots, and cheers were given fpr Blaine as the train passed slowly through those villages. At Waterloo an immense crowd gathered at the depot, Mr. Blaine and party were taken to the fair grounds, headed by m band. Arriving on the grounds, Mr. Blaine expressed his thanks to the crowd.

At Geneva, Clifton Springs, and Canandaigua briet stops were made, and at 5 p, m. the train reached Rochester. Mr. Blaine took an open carriage, and with his party was driven to the Court House steps, preceded by an immense procession, comprising all the Blaine clubs of the city, and also many from the surrounding cities. Leonard Burritt introduced Mr. Blaine, who spoke as follows: "I am sure that no desire to offer a personal compliment to any living man could have brought this vast audience together, and I have not the vanity to accept it as offered to myself personally. It is rather the expression by this great assemblage of the people of'Western N< w York of their confidence in, those principles which have brought prosperity to our country, and have budded your own beautiful city as one of the exemplars and illustrations of that prosperity. The Republican party embodies in its creed four distinct and most important doctrines: First—Peace with the whole world. SecondCommercial expansion in every practicable direction. Third—Encouragement of every form of American Industry. Fourth—Protection to every citizen, native or civilized, at home or abroad. Under these policies the Republican party strives to conduct the Government. Under these principles the - Republican party submits itself to the judgment of ,the American people. On these principles we conquer, or on these we are conquered. I thank you, gentlemen, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for whatever in this splendid ovation is personal to myself. But I ask your attention with especial emphasis to the importance of those positions to which I have so briefly adverted. To the latest hour of my life I never can forget this brilliant scene, nor can I mistake its wide significance." Leaving Rochester, the train proceeded to Batavia, where the Presidential candidate spoke as follows: “I am profoundly obliged by your generous reception. I have reached, almost the western end of vour State, and from its great metropolis to this point I have received unmeasured kindness; but it would be shfeer vanity if I were to attribute these popular demonstrations to any mere personal motive. I know better; 1 know these lavish compliments are intended, not for me personally, but as a mark of confidence In the great and for twenty-four years triumphant party which I have been chosen to represent. The future of that great party is in the hands of the people—in the hands of the people of New York. 1 trust that it is in safe hands. I bid you good-night.’ Buffalo was reached at 8 o’clock p. m. The crowd was dense in the station and the reception committee formed Into line with some difficulty. Mr. Blaine preceded them, and leaning on the arm of his son, went to hiß carriage. When he took his seat the crowd took up the cheering which had been begun in the station, and Blaine responded by raising his hat. His carriage then moved to its place in the line and dropped out of the procession before ft had finished the march and droveto the hotel, where he went to his room and shortly mounted the balconv, from whence he reviewed the Republican procession, embracing several thousand torch-bearers. It was late when the review ended, and Mr. Blaine was too much fatigued for a speech. He merely said: “My sincere thanks and a cordial good-night." and retired. After spending the night in Buffalo, Mr. Blaine and his party took the train the next morning and proceeded westward.

"1 wish to say,” he continued, “that I never knew there was a house called the Stone ! House, nor a St. Clair Township, until I saw it in this article. I only refer to this as an example of the multitude of false ' statements the Republican press has put in circulation about the Democratic candidates,. A lie never hurts a man ; it is the truth that hurts." l Mr. Hendricks then turned to other topics, first arguing that it was time for a change in the administration, even if there was no scandal in the present administration.

John B. Gough Speaks for St. John.

[Bouton dispatch. I Fellow citizens, lam no politician, and I am, not going to make a political speech. For fortytwo years I have been fighting this liquor trade —against the trade that robbed me of seven of the best years of my life. I have long voted the Republican ticket, hoping always for help in my contest in the Republican party. But we have been expecting something from that party in vain, and now, when they have treated the most respecftul appeal from the mostjrespectable men in this country with silent contempt, I say it is time to leave off trusting amt 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! ” “Hear!’’] We are fighting a tremendous evfi, and we must make sacrifices if they become necessary. But there must be no compromise with the enemy. You must stand to your principles. T hey talk about protection, but we temperance people have no protection whatever. [Cheers.] We want protection from the liquor traffic for the widow and the orphan and the children, [Applause. 1 That is why I changed my politics, and if I live until the 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 States and Benjamin Butler’s teachings would bring about a bloody revolution in this country in less than five 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.]
