INDIANAPOLIS, January II, 1910.
The convention is over, and the glorious
10Th will not be forgotten. Indiana has not
seen prouder day since that on which the
pridc and chivalry of Kentucky and the
great Northwest triumphed on The memora-
bic 7th November, 1911. Had | the gra-
phic powers of the friend | am addressing, |
would describe the scene of yesterday and
o day in such language as would cause you
to exclaim, glory in the name of an Indi.
anan. Before night of the 18th the town
was full to overlooking. Notwithstanding
the severe cold Of the preceding day, the
people poured in from every quarter Of the
state; crowd after crowd of delegates,
''fresh from the people," came pouring in,
and long before night the hotels were ever
run; and the delegates were quarted upon
the citizens, who spontaneously opened their
armes to receiue them, as brethren of one
faith. The Logansport band, at the hoad Of
a cavalcade Of about one hundred, arrived
about noon, since which time the soul stir
ring strains Of martial music have died away
upon the delighted car, only to be renewed
with increased effect Next came the Gre
oncatle band, who did themselves great
credit in the order of the day. About
1'clock, p m. the Terre-Haute band appear
I'd, who came at the head of numerous
;avalcade, in carriage drawn by four cream
;Oloured horsos, with white ostrigh plumes
he collars surmounted with flags, with the
conspicuous names of HARRISON and Tyler
luttering in the breeze, the troops maching
o the tune of the "Sleigb ,cdltz," performed
" the band in their most inimitable style ;and
o cap the climax, next came the "Great
1astern," in the shape Of our aboriginal wa
er-craft, mounted on four wheels, drawn by
tx gray horses, elegantly caparisoned, con-
aiming about thirty delegates from Old
Dearborn and Ripley, and a numerous train
in its -footsteps," bearing upon
Ter sides and Prov the name of TTppccaaoe;,
With the flag of the Hero of North Bend
streaming to the journeying Winds at her
mast head.
The procession formed on the morning of
he 10Th, in front of the Sfate-house, or, at
east, they began TO form there, but before
he line was completed it extended below
he old courthouse, distance of nearly a
nile down Washington street, besides hol-
ow square around the State-house square.
About 800 joined in the procession, Of
whom 200 TO 1900 were delegates. They
proceeded by ful-length protrait of HAIR
2IsoN, and six banners, with various appro-
1riate mottos, were placed at intervals,
md in the rear OF all was the banner of
with the inscription, "My ma
i've land, farewell!' Description can give
vou no idea Of the enthusiasm which pre-
railed. Every upper window and door was
iIled with ladies, the fairest of the fair, and
he waving of scarfs, handkerchieis, and
white hands, gave ample evidence that the
of the northwest was among the
irst in the hearts Of his country-women.
The Loco-foco Convention which assem-
,led on the Sth, boosted that they had the
greatest turnout ever known in the State;
put, considering the weather was extremely
fine, and that they were unable to number
$50 delegates, who came together with no
