BLAINE DEPARTS FOR BOS-
TON.
Boston, Sept. 17—At 4:30
Bh i tie drove to the station* in
Augusta, accompanied by his
private secretary, where, upon
arrival of the train, Postmas-
ter Manley and Senator Hale
joined the party. There was
no demonstration on Blaine's
departure. At Portland Con
gresssmati Reed entered the
car and engiged Blaine in
conversation till the
Blaine, and gave him a hearty
welcome Cries arose for a
speech, but the cheering had
lasted so loug, there was only
time for a world of thanks for
the cordial reception, and
then the cars passed out of the
depot.
Several of Lynn's leading
citizens boarded the train at
Salem, and accompanied
Blaine to Boston, Secretary
Whiteomb of the Boston ward
and city committee, met
Hlaine and escorted him to
the city. The scene at Lotin
was a repetition of that at
Salem. By the time the train
arrived fully 30,000 persons
were in the vicinity of the
depot. Again a speech was
called for, and his appearance
was the signal for tumultous
cheers. He thanked the peo-
ple sincerely for their greet-
ing. As the train left a salute
was fired, while the crowd
followed the train the whole
length of the station, cheering
and waving: their hats.

for the administration of tl^e
government, and said they
should levy so much as was
required to righteously ad-
minister the affairs. He then
asserted that theie should be
a change in the administra-
tion because the Republicans
had it for twenty-five years
and that was long enough.
Ho next took up the subject
of the surplus in the treasury
and told how President Arthur
and Stcretury Folger had
both recommenced its reduc-
tion, but there had not been
scarcely any reduction. He
considered $100,000,000 too
large a sum to be collected
annually above necessary ex-
penses. He spoke of the re-
forms proposed by the Demo-
cracy and read extracts on
those points from their plat-
form, and said a reduction of
the surplus must be made,
taxes must be collected for
public purposes only, and a re-
duction of the ta-iff must also
be made The highest tax
must, bo placed on luxuries,
and the lowest on necessities.
Ho said the Democrats would
like to see the books. lie
then referred to the alleged
breach between the Repu-
blicans and Germans, and
affirmed it to be on account of
the former's position on pro-
hibition. They expected to
make up with the Irish what
they had lost in Germans, but,
they wouldn't do it. The
former were ready to trust
the Democrats for another
term. It is said that Blaine
would make a dashing presi-
dent. I don't think lie will,
but I think Cleveland will
dash wherever law and coll
stitution call him.

HEADQUARTERS.
Shanghai, Sept. 17-Vessels

ing his operations in the Yang
Tso river. The islands are of
great strategical importance,

deadly character.
