Mr.. CLAY IN IEDIANA-I received a let

morning, from which make the following
extract:
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 5, 1912.
This day we have witnessed one of those
immense gatherings of the people for which
the last Presidential campaign was distin-
guished. Mr.. CLAY, in compliance with an
old promise, this morning arrived in this cit
y, on a visit to the State. His intention to
visit us at this had become known generally
throughout the State. and from II O'Clock
Yesterday the people commenced pouring in
from all quarters.
This morning line of procession was
formed, at nine O'Clock marched out to meet
Mr.. lay and his companions, one mile east
of the city. The reception in enthusiasm
was all that the best friend of MIR. Clay could
wish, and proved to him that the people of
Indiana cherished lively and abiding sense
of his great services in the councils of the
nation, and warmly esteemed his character
The day was spent in partaking of bar
bacue, given by the peopls of Marion county,
at which addresses were delivered by Mr..
lay, who spoke about two hours, and Mr.
Crittenden and Metralf These addresses
were listened to with great attention, and
sunk deep upon the minds of the people
That of MIR. Clay, understand, will be pub
lished.
The number of of the people present |
have heard estimated at from thirty to sixty
thousand, including thousands OF beautiful
women and children, who were not the least
eager ofthe throng to get sight of the
great Western Statesman.

The course pursued by Senator Wright

so far as to denounce him as n traitor 10 the

are one or two exceptions however. The

Mr.. WEBSTER AND HIS OLD FRIENDS

MIR. WEBSTER AND HIS OLD FRIENDS
A correspondent of the Providence Journal
writes from Boston on Friday as follows:
"Mr. Webster's speech has disappointed
the hopes and wounded the feelings of a
large proportion of the wings of this city.
1t appeared to me, that the very strong Ian
guage he used in condemning the Compro.
mise Act would be not less grateful to the
tenant of the White House than to the far.
mer of Ashland. Two of Mr.. Tyler's We.
toes, certainly, have been based on the
sole ground Of maintaining, unimpaired, The
famous act of 1888.
"While Mr.. Webster was speaking in
terms of bitter reproach, if not of contempt,
of the doings of the late Wing Convention
in Massachusetts. the feeling of Abbott
Lawrence, who was President OF that Con.
venticn, and Leverett SaltonstalI, who was
one of the chief speakers in that Conven.
ton, was evident 10 all. And ut the con.
clusion, when Mr.. Webster proffcred his
hand to MIR. Lawrence, the GOODNESS with
which IT was received, showed MS marked
disapprobation of the sentiments which had
just been avowed. Mr.. SaItonstalI. after
he left the hall, spake in terms of decided
censure of the course MIR. Webster had
seen fit to pursue.

This is glorious morning for Ohio and

way through such clouds. The thousand.
and scores OF thousands that are here and
pouring in, with baG!ners streaming. music
piping, and voices like the soucd OF many
waters cheering, and dat same o,'e Don,
looking so queer down from the tree on
which he rides on the dense and countless
throng, are altogether such an affair as the
Buckeyes only can take the lead in

of all sorts and trades are passing in pro-
cession under our window, scattering their
productions among the multitudes. Such
hilarity, such exultation, such expectant
grasping of victory over the spoilers Of u
glorious country, we cannot described, mol
can it be conceived. The scene throws
the great convention held here in 1910 en-
tire in the back ground. One would think
that all the world were wings, and all here,
men. women and children, and ''coons. !"
The infinite fun, and irresistible effcct,with
which the Buckeyes shoo IF. and peak oG
and sing of the evil deeds of the Locos,
especially in Gerrymandering the State, or
attempting it, is a caution to political
rogues. "They beat all naiur."

tor waiting couple of hours to see the
end of this procession, a marshall came

WHAT CAN THE MATTER BE.

Never have the locofocos been so panic
struck as now. The fearful carousals Of
1910 are more than renewed in Ohio. The
Globe is almost frantic at the awful Por.
tents of immense masses Of partIzans, excl
ted to the highest pitch of daring by demu-
gogue orators, like Clay, Crittenden. Ew-
en-, and others, who are preparing, ballot in
band, 10 overwhelm the ranks of the FEDE-
RAJ DEMOCRACY. What pity it would
be if these innocents, who have been so
amiably employed in gerrymandering the
State in the most frightful manner, should
be driven from their foul orgies by the in.
dignant freeman of the Buckeye State.
