tor Sherman.
Cot.UMlifM , October 9. There were but few
people at the depot nt Mansfield , but there
were several thousand asfomblodin the square
in the heart of the town , to which Blame wai
escorted in the usual manner. Hedges , the
republican candidate for congress , having In
troduced him as the next president of the
United States , Ulaino said : "I object to my
friend Introducing mo la that way. We will
talk about that alter Tuo'day next. ( Cheers. )
But I see good auguries for Tuesday In the
fact that the people of Ohio seem to be thor
oughly aroused. ( Cheers. ) In oil iny politi
cal experience 1 have never seen people appa
rently more thoroughly av/ako to their duty
than the people of Ohio leeni to be at this
timo. Your duty in this caniuuign
is exceptionally important. You h vo
bolh your own immediate duty anil a
vicarious duty. You are to vote on next Tuesday -
day ; not only for yourselves but for the whole
United States. You are to set the mark for
tha republican high tide. [ Cheers. ] I confess
I have great confid/mco in the vote of Ohio ,
for since the election of
Salmon P. Chase as
governor of your state in 1855 , I have never
known a year when Ohio was aroused that she
did not give a republic u majority. [ Cheers. ]
You have never hud before you mora distinct
issues than you have this year. There 1ms
never been u more e'oan cut division between
the parties. .u.t the beginning of political
campaigns a great many iisues are in peoples'
minus , but as the contest grows Beiious
incidental points are eliminutod as
mrtifs conve/go aud coma together.
There is alwuys eno great overshadowing issue
that control i vho multitude of voters. I as
sume that the issue the present year is pro
tective tariff , nud I am sure there is not a
state in the union that has profited more un
der the protective syUera , or tbat is more
c'eeply interested in its maintenance , than
Ohio. [ Che-M ] That being the eiso and
with the further condition that Ohio ranks ns
high in intelligence as auy state in the Union ,
it cannot be doubted that you will BOO your
way clear to protect and maintain your own
iutiresti. I do not stop to argue other que.i-
tious. I do nut stop to dwell even for
moment on the achievements of tlw repub
lican party , on what it him done
for l ho Uoiou , for the cause of free govern
ment , for the cause cf human liberty. I do
not dwell on thodo , because I do not choose to
divert your minds , oven for a moment from
the ono overpowering and overwhelming issue
that should eugngj your attention until .uter
Tuesday next , [ Cheers. ] nnd especially honl-J
it engage your attention In your congressional
\ districts. Colonel ioyntou used to say In
argument , when he got very close to the point ,
thut ho bad hU "knife "
on the nerve. When
you vote for representatives in cougrea' , your
votes are reaching to the very nerve of all
jpjcsttons relating to our industrial system ,
including protective tarilf , because it is through
your representatives in congress that
you make your will primarily , distinctly iind
impressively understood and felt. This is n
town which I Imvo long dejired to visit. I
have enjoyed a friendship that goes back al
most into boyhood daya with your distin
guished follow citizen , Senator Sherman , and
I have lor desired to stand before hii neigh
bor * , constituents and fliemls. I thank you
for thij kind reception and bid jou good
byo. "
At Crcstlino there wm a largo crowd
around the depot. B.'amo ' apoko bnellv from
the platform built out from the Second story
of a building. Ho spoke of the great import
ance of the state election in October because
of iti boirifg upon the national election , and
upon tariff legislation in the next qongresx.
At Mount Uileail , Governor Foster juined
the party again. Hero Blaine loft the tr.iin
to attend the Morrow county fair to which
he has been invited by the managers. There
were fully 15,000 people around the fairgrounds
grounds- Governor Foster introduced Blaine ,
ho bpoko briefly from the judge * ' stand.
Blaine was followed to the tlopot by great
crowds , who cheered him repeatedly ai they
ran along thu streets , and at the departure of
tlio train.
Df-lawaro was reached just baforo dark , nnd
considering the bi/j ) of the plactt , the reception
was phenomenal. Tto streets were crowded
und the enthuslesm of the people was remark-
jibloas their munburs , Blaluo wua Introduced
by Judge .Touts and when tlio storm of cheer
ing and shouting with which ho w.ie received ,
hod sub Ided , ha returned thunk * for tha kiuU
reception given him and cald : "I have no ; cr
seen a population in motion as the population
of Ohio so1 m to-day. [ Cheers. ] From that
fact , I anticipate yrc.it republican vote on
Tuesday next. [ Gieat cheering. ] I want Ohio
to feel and know that the vote of Tuesday
no\t Is an important one , and that
lesponBiblllty rest * upon Iho repub
licans of this state. The rnnubllean
p.irty is fortunate in having the
support of the young1 men of tliu
country , [ CheeiH ] As I Imvo said befoie ,
there IH no instance in the political history of
this cation of aay j arty being bentou that
had in a laiga dcgrca the sympathy mid sup
port of the jouug men , [ Kenuwod chocrlng , ]
I see befora mo a large num or of > ouog men
who are cello Uns , and who add to thu power

To them and to their f Hews wo look us the

[ Ore.it prolonged cheering ] At this point
Hon. C , B , Farwell , of Cnicigo , joined the
party.
No htop was made until the train reach
ed Columbus. In view of the great demon
stration lieiolastweek , the understanding was
that there uhonld be nunoou this occasion , but
was finite a largo erowd in the depot , await
ing the arrival of tha triin , who pressed nroun J
Blaine Mid c-rerecl him ui ho pasaal out. Ho
entered u c irriaep and tried to drive quietly
to the house of his cousin , Mr. Miller , but a
body of young republican1) bearing torches
insistnl on escorting him iu the mual noisy
manner. Blaine epfnds the night at Mi

BAMMIOIIK , October 0. Win. Daniels ,
nominated for vice-president on the prohibi
tion ticket , in his letter of acceptance pub
lished to-dny , says : Necessity of prohibition
of liquor trallic is based tipan the well oitab
11-hed and conceded facts that this traflic Is
tlio producing cau'o of ft largo part of nil the
crime , poverty , insanity , suicides and diseases
that oxUts in the land. That It Is a great di - -
tmber of.tbo public peace ns well as a destroy
er of domestic pcneo and happiness.
That it renders ife , liberty nnd
property Insecure , and imposes upon tlio coin-
uiiinity heavy burdens of taxation , without
equivalent or consent upon the ground of Its
legitimate tendency being to produce idle
ness , vice and debauchery , and to create nui-
nances. The supreme bourt of the United
States and highest courti of tlio state decided
that Jam * entirely prohibiting it , are constitu
tional ; that idleness ; vice and debauchery ,
being cankers on the body politic endangering
its very life , there must of n necessity bo the
inherent power in it to remove it , in order to
prevent Hi own destruction. In such decis
ion ; ' , thtpo highest courts have also held that
these laws are for thu protection of
society and not for the regulation
o' control of the conduct of
the individual and wore in no house partak
ing of the character of sumptuary laws , tvithey
nro no often falsely , and knowingly , styled by
liquor leaguers und the politicians of ono of
the great political parties and that neither are
they restrictive ot uersonal liberty except in
BO fa : aa they restrain the individual from in
flicting injury on otbera or society. In all
such cases the public safety must be supremo.
The writer dia-.tissos at much length the
growth and extOLt of the prohibitory sentiment
which ho claims has not been properly util
ized. Ho sUtcs that thu demoralization fr.im
drink is on the increase and thaiuufnithfulofli- { |
cittls fail to enforce the laws regulating tlio
sulr of liquor. Ho Bays that the policy of
both the national government and the gieat
majority of thu states is that of licensing and
fostsiiug this tarilf. To change the
policy auil governmental policy
espo.ially is the imperative duty of the hour ,
and to effect it requires tlw agency of political
orenmzation or party , just as the other great
reforms are neceseitaturt alike for their accom
plishment. It , therefore , becomes a national
issue of nnpremo importance , nud cannot bJ
relegated to states alone , at tlio blddliii ? of any
political leader or lu.ders , no matter how dis-
turr ing thin clement may bo to parties or pol
iticians. Both existing political paities op-
pohed , or ignored , this gro.it Is-sue , and their
candidates lor president or vice president did
likewise. Necessity , conscience loyalty to
God nnd humanity , theioforc" , compel tis to
assume the position wo have nssurnod. Last
ly , the movement oilers a grand opportunity
of burying forever the sad memories und bit
ter hatred of tliu war and uniting
all .frictions.

Boston Special to Chicago Tribune ,
It is claimed by the friends of Mrs. Goor-
glana Houetis , who Is under nircat for the
allowed larceny of S2\000 * worth of diamonds
from Thoroea Lynch , of Now York , that the
is the victim of an attempt , to extort money ,
It. in claimed that her Into hutbaud , J. Fred
Hountls , wan a man of property , though
it is ndml.tted ho was living , bu <
yoml hU means , and was at timoa
pressed for money. Still , It is claimed'that
the proceeds of Ins estate which is now in the
li.'imls of an executor , will ba sufficient to pay
his debt ? . The rotations exietiup between the
Lynches ! , mother and BOH , and Mr. and Mis.
Houetls appear , nccordltg to loiter ) ard bills
in existence , to have been Intimate- both
business and social ir.itrn , Theiu nro receipt

actions for largo Biimi. Thera Is n letter from
Mr. Lynch in which ho informs Mr. Heustts
that ho ha ? taken up a note of Ids for S300 ,
and makes an urgent though fiiondly rcqueKC
for payment , nnd etlll another letter wiitten

that the diamonds and jovrolry to tlio amo.int
of $20,000 , upon Iho alleged larceny of whicl
Iho criminal indictment is based , wen.
bought on credit by Air. Hcustis am
presented by him to Mrs. Heuitta. The
rogiilatity Jof the purchase in apparnntl ;
proved by a bill in proper form amounting ti
about SJd , 01 , but reduced by several th'iua '
anddollais by pavmonts on account , whicl
are properly cioditcd. Some of tliOHO pay-
monti are for specific pm-chuses , which nuvor
thelesa appear among the items in the erlini
nal charro. | It Is not denied that Mrs. Heus
tii Inn raised money upon the dlanioudH anil
