THE DEMONSTRATION AT ANDERSON.
The Republicans of Anderson clearly demon
strated the fact THAT although they lived in the
Democratic county of Madison, they are alive to
the Importance of the campaign, and the vel
come accorded their candidate for the vice-pres-
ideney was surprisingly large and creditable.
The arrival of the train was made
known to the seven thousand people gathered
about the speakers stand by the booming OF
cannons and flourish of trumpets. The stand
had been erected in the public square, 300 yards
distant from the depot, and to this General
Logan and Major Calkins were escorted
by q body guard of veterans, who sur
rounded the carriage The appearance
of both gentlemen was the signal
for great cheering which was removed
at intervals during the brief speeches. People
had come for miles around and the square and
adjacent streets were filed by the crowd Only
ten minutes had been allotted to Anderson by
the time schedule, and the departure was neces-
sarily fastened. The crowd followed the car
riage to the train, from the rear platform OF
which General Logan waved farewell as the
Journey was resumed
DELAwARs coUNTY's WELCOME
Between Anderson and Muneie every farm
house seemed deserted. Their occupants had
evidently gone in a body to one Of the two towns
10 greet their guest and at Muncie crowd es-
timated by no one at less than twenty thousand,
and by many at thirty thousand, awaited
his coming Such a demonstration was
never witnessed IN that section. The country
people had come for many miles around,
On horseback and IN vehicles of every
variety and description, and the town people
were out to a man. The line of march was
nearly a mile long, and several Thousand horse
and foot participated in the parade, chief among
the organizations being a large body of veterans.
When General Logan was introduced by Hon.
R, S. Gregory not less than 20, 900 people faced
MIN, TO whom he spoke at greater length than
usual. During the course of his speech he said:
IF you examine for yourselves-as you have
past, and the events of the present and the prog
ress to come in the future you should come to
conclusion as to what you think is best calcu-
lated to continue us in the line of march in
which we have been going. In this county, that
brings together such vast assemblages as this,
you have exhibited an energy, an intelligence
and genius IN the development of the
resources of your own immediate locality that
has made you prominent in the history of pass
ing events before the country. Applause In
your own county you have invested IN man
ufaeturing alone $l78 600 Of capital You have
produced in the last year in this county of man

by your Industries brought O market to the
very doors of your farmers, and you
should continue in the same course you
have been going for the last twenty years, foster

advancing in the glory of free institutions and in
the light of the grandest Republic that God has
given to man. iGreat applause. Let Dext

diana for the kindness they have shown me-"
Tremendous applause.
General Logan then addressed himself briefly
to the veterans who had formed his escort, and
the journey was again resumed
THE MEETING AT NEW CASTLE.
New Castle fairly outdid herself in the extent
and character of the demonstration. From ten
to fifteen thousand people had gathered at the
stand, which was handsomely decorated, and
they extended hearty Hoosier welcome to the
gentlemen in whose honor they had assembled
Cannon pealed and bands played as the
pathway from the train to the stand was guarded
by company of about sixty young ladies uni
formed appropriately and carrying brooms.
Many old soldiers were present and there was a
large number Of men In uniform and greatest
good feeling prevailed The night before Col
Bridgland and Mayor Rupe of Richmond had
held a splendid meeting and the enthusiasm
then created seemed to have grown rather
than diminished with the passage of time
The largest procession ever seen in Henry coun-
ty had just passed, and the entire community
had gathered at the stand. The speeches of
General Logan and Major Calkins were received
with the same demonstrations of approval met
with elsewhere, and the people were loath to al
low the train to depart. cheering and firing can

manning in view on the rear platform Senator
A. G. Harris remained to address the audience
and the day was given over to Republican ioll-
ication-
CAMBRIDGE CITY
If the displays at previously visited points
were surprisingly large, that at Cambridge City
was certainly none the less So and 20, 900 people
welcomed the partys candidate to the home of
Morton and the great Republican stronghold of
Indiana. The size of the crowds was all the
moro remarkable from the fact that the towns
where they were gathered were in every instance
less than twenty miles apart Business was
suspended here, and all along the line Of
march the people were packed by
hundreds and thousands. The procession
Of uniformed clubs and mounted men which fol
lowed General Logan's carriage was many
squares in length and presented a fine appear
anee. At the stand twenty thousand people
listened to the speeches of the distinguished
orators, and applauded them to the echo 1t WAS
with great difficulty that General Logan could
