SEYEN SPEECHES ON THE WAT.
At Every Stop of the Train He Received
an Ovation from III« Enthusiastic Ad
mirers—The Arrival at the Huh —Go
ing Home.
Nkw York, Aug. 14—Mr, Blaine loft
here yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. There
was comparatively a small crowd at the
station to see him off, not more than half a
hundred witnessed bis departure from the
Fifth Avenue hotel. The private ear of
President Clark, of the New York and New
Haven road, was place.! at the disposal of
thu Blain » party. It was attached to the U
o'clock express on the New Haven road.
Most of the Republican leaders had said
E 00 * 1 by to Mr - Blotna the night before, and
hiscallers at Uie hotel in the morning wore
not very numerous and included only per
«mal friends.
Boston, Aug. U.—The train left New
York " raid lhe booming of cannon and the
wavingof handkerchiefs, and friendly greet
ings followed the party all the way.
At 12:20 the train made a brief stop in
Stamford. Mr. Fessenden showed himself
at the door of the oar and the 1,500 people
"Blaine! Blaine!" At lost, after re
peated calls, the much wanted man come
out. He was introduced to them, and said:
"I thank this large assembly quit* beyond
the power of my expression for the compli
ment they pay mo as X journey homeward.
Brief moment of the »rain stopping I
have only time to odd to ray thanks an ad
monition. That is, if Connecticut shall main
loin her great prosperity, if she shall main
tain her forward position among the indus
trial and prosperous communities of the
United States, she must bs up and doing.

by the neglect of her Raimblican olHasoa.

new upon us that the post of honor and re.
apousibility shoH reat upoh Connecticut, It
u oot improbable that the praridentfel elec
tlonof 188S maybe settled on tbs soil of
/our state. My request is that each and
every one of yon shall regard the task of
carrying Connecticut for Harrison and Mor
ton as imposed upon himself. Believing that
yo(1 ar „ awake to your duty I shall proceed
to Maine and ask her Republicans to show
Connecticut the path iu which she should
walk. (Applause.) I thank you, gentleman.
once more, and bid you good morning."
Bridgeport was the next stopping place.
People lined the track there for fully half a
mfio- The local fife and drum corps was out,
and all the pretty girls had their best finery
on The only thing missing to make it the
greatest show on earth was Bridgeport's
greatest showman, P. T. Barnum. In his
absence* Mr Blaine appeared ami said*
"Fellow Citizens: I know exactly what
thisl)i „ crowd m ^ aua U means that you
are resolved to carry Connecticut for Harri
son and Morton. (Cheers.) If Connecticut
votes for Harrison and Morton, I give you
my pledge that they wUl be the next presi
dent ami vice president (Loud cheering.) X
cannot sny more than to ask you that you
make it certain, ami to add my very sincere
thanks for the groat compliment you pay me
in greeting me with so magnificent a crowd
of old political associates as Bridgeport has
more than once turned out to testify its
friendship for me." (Tremendous cheering )
After this tbe people cheered some more,
the baud played and the train mwred on its
w
Tile track was alive with people at New j
Haven, and there was so many, all up and
dowu the streets, that it was thought best to
tekeMr. Blaine out back ot tbe depot, put |
hira on a platform aud let him talk toovery- I
body. This nos accordingly done, Mr. Fu«- |
seuden walking on ono side and Dr, Burden
on the other.
Ur. Blaine was Introduced by the city at
torney. liusaid:
"Sm'ce I last bad the pleasure of passing
tlmni 'h vour beantifal «tv I have ■«.„
rauc h Of countries beyand tba seas, but I
am sure I have now bore seen any people as
Soclated in anv form of eoverament const!

whether they desire this commonwealth to
be launched on now experiment« of free
trade (cries of "No"|-or whether they
desire to adhere to the old land
nmrks which have provcl so safe.
This will be submitted to the people of Con
necticut, and on their response will be prob
ably determined the fate of tho question. I
do not doubt, X cannot doubt, the verdict
that will ho given at the hands of your peo
ple. It only remains for me to return to you
my sincere thanks for whatever of personal
compliment you pay me by this large assem
blage.
"But all personal compliment which I might
tako to myself is subordinated iu every re
siKict to the great end of rallying the people
ot Connecticut to tho support of Harrison
and Morton—(prolonged cheering)—who rep
resent in their political record and in their
personal history all the great issues of the
national campaign." (Loud applause.)
When Mr. Blaine was escorted back to bis
oar a dining car had lieen added to the train
and colored waiters were already at work
laying the table for luncheon.
Between 1,500 aud 3,000 persons were at
the Meriden depot. Mr. Graham introduced
him, aud he said;
"Thankiug my friend for his somewhat
extravagant laudation I beg to thank you all
for this compliment in greeting
warmly. I have time only to add what I
have said elsewhere on my route to-day that
important as the vote of Connecticut always
has been, it is tenfold more important in this
year ot grace, 1888. If we can hare every
Republican voter in Connecticut fully
prebend and appreciate what the vote of this
state may mean, 1 shall rest content with the
result which your understanding aad your
appreciation will bring. (Cheers.) Trusting,
gentlemen, that the idea of November may
chronicle victory in Connecticut, and, as a
oonsequnnce, victory to the nation, I return
your greeting with all tbe cordiality with
which it has been tendered." (Long continued
cheers.)
The train arrived at Hartford at 8:19
o'clock, four minutes late. A large crowd
was at the station. Mr. Blaine was intro
duced by Mayor Root, and spoke from the
Ill« HO
platform. Ha was received with hearty
cheering, which continued until the train
was well under way. Mr. Blaine Raid :
"Less than a fortnight «go I was in the
country which, according to it« area, is called
the richest in the world—old England. A j
large number of the counties in England |
have each a population greater than that of i
the whole «tato of Connecticut Hut 1 wish
I could compare the statistics of Connecticut
with any county or of any community of 1)00,
000 people in England. The comparison would
give a sharp test by which the good people of
Connecticut could determine the depressing
effects of free trade upon the mass of labor
ing men.
As I said in New Haven, I do not
believe that the sun shines upon a (leopla
more prosperous in every respect than the
people of Connecticut You are asked now
° c hange the tariff system under which the
prosiHirity, has been attained (A voice:

FREDERICK S PAPERS GIVEN UP.
London, Aug. 14.—The Full Mail (In rette
announces upon what it regards a* excellent
auUlority that Empress Frederick, of Rer
nmny, has finally conceded to the German
„„tborities the right to her late husband's
papers, aud assured Prince Bismarck of their
( mmed mto delivery into the hands of the
,^ 0 , WI . The reason of her majesty's
yielding is stated to lie a throat made by
Frinee Bismarck to delay the opening of the
]„te emperor's will until the («pels should
be returned. As the royal lady depends
^„(y upoo t ,be provisions of the will for her
f uture allowance, the statement possesses
element« of truth which cannot be ignored,
s i U eo it is in the power of the chancellor to
,Kwtj>ono the opening and rending of the will
indefinitely iu the absence of a posltivoorder
from the emperor to tbe contrary—an order
the kaiser would lie very unlikely to issue,
Thus again It would scum that her majesty's
attempts to coerce the iron chancellor have
resulted in his coercing her.
Canon Mac Coll, of tiro Diocese of Ulpon,
has caused the publication In The Universal
Review, over his signature, staling that be
bos tbe authority of Mr. Henry Matthews,

Matthews adopted a policy of home rule for
Ireland after having consulted on the sub

falls little short of giving the lie direct to

Mr. Michael Davitt has written a long
letter to The Dublin Freeman in regard „
the fund for the relief ot the distressed in

condemns the present administration ot the
fund, which be characterize« as a "continuous
Bpoo a feeding," ond declares that it has
sopped the moral fibre of tbo people and re
duevd the majority of them to a state of
semi-mendicancy. Instead of doling out as
gistanco In such insignificant quantities us to
merely prolong the distress it is intended to

night and day. No case of yellow fever has
yet occurred among the negro population.
Business is completely paralysed, and
groes out of work gather in knote in the
streets, und it is feared will soon begin to
plunder and pillage the hundreds of unoocn
pied houses iu the city. Humors of marttat
law are afloat. The situation does not yek
demand it, but may at almost any hour if
Uie thousauds of blacks remain out of work.

had a practical test. Wilson's battery,
with live pieces of artillery, began firing
continuously from 7 o'clock for several hours.

city from the scourge which threatens us, no

"Attendants of the sick should lie careful
to prepare their patients, so that there may
be no unnecessary shuck from noise, and
urge them to submit patiently. The bourn
fur firing will lie from 0 to 7 a m., and from
8 to if p. ni., perhaps longer."
Nearly every hotel, boarding house and
restaurant in the city has been closed. Hun
dreds of stores are closed, and the propri
etors have tied. All others close at 5 p. m.,
and do not open until V a. in., m order to
avoid contact with the night air. All moils
are fumigated by order of the postoflioe de
partment. The Weetern Union Telegraph
office is seriously embarrassed, only about
oue-tbird of the operators remaining. The
press re(>ort» for The Times-Union could not

great difficulty in transmuting special mes

"IlJ-equires a peculiar condition of climate
that wo never have in Now York," ho added,
"to make yellow fever contagious." A few
eases of yellow fever might gut into New
York by rail or by being smuggled past
quarantine, but the health department
would be able to take care of them. Three
sets of ius[iecCors are kept at work daily in
assigned districts, and their work could net
be mure thorough, Dr. Edsoa thinks.
The steamships Kemiuoie, from Jackson

are both anchored in quarantine for observa
