Welcome Home of James Blaine in New York City Parade
A grand welcome greeted James G Blaine upon his arrival from Liverpool. York harbor buzzed with decorated steamers and a land parade, while Blaine spoke from a hotel balcony urging labor support for protective tariffs and warning against free trade. He praised Levi P Morton and Judge Thurman, warned Democrats and emphasized labor vs capital in the nation’s policy debate. The piece also notes local political shifts toward Harrison Morton, Kansas and Nebraska growth, and Burlington movement.
