Welcoming the Heroes.

The event OF the day was the arrival Of Gen.
Sherman, late in the afternoon. Although show
er-threatening clouds were visible, the sun was
sut during nearly the whole of the afternoon
and much Of the dampness from the heavy rain
fall during the morning disappeared under the
warm rays. the slight mud in the streets
alone remaining as the only noticeable effect
Of the disagreeable opening of the day. The
people began to gather on the sidewalks of the
thoroughfares in the central part Of the city
quite early, and bright dresses were out as nu-
merously as if water and mud were things of
which their fastidious wearers had no
fears. The thiekening stream of people
was augmented by the full force of the crowd
that composed the matinee concert, which was
over at quarter before o'clock, and from this
hour until after the arrival of the eagerly-ex-
pected hero, slow progress could be made in
working way through the throng along
the sidewalks of the principal streets.
Blue coats and Grand Army badges were
conspicuous in tho crowd and galloping horses
bearing uniformed men, were going in all direc-
tons. The military companies and G. A. R.
veterans forming the escort for General Sher-
man were in line on South Meridian street fully
three quarters of an hour before the time to
move, ard, with the throne that lined the side
walks, stood patiently waiting the coming Of the
the city's illustrous visitor. The carriage In
which 1t was intended General Sherman should
ride, containing Senators Logan and Harrison
was driven up to the depot about twenty minutes
before the arrival Of the train, and was sur
rounded by the crowd, which repeatedly
broke out into enthusiastic cheers of the
gallant Illinois Senator, many of
whose soldiers during the war wore

The line of march from the depot to the Deni-

cows of the buildings along the Streets and
every available position from which a view of
the distinguished visitors could be obtained be-
ing occupied by men. women and children. As
the carriage containing Generals Sherman and
Logan passed between the lines of this multitude
the two were greeted with cheers which were
kept up almost continuously, and the enthusi-
astic reception was pleasantly acknowledged by
the homage.
When the procession reached the University
Park square, where the school children were
gathered, howers-in bouquets and wreaths-
were showered upon the two heroes, some of the
floral offerings being very elaborate in character
and artistically arranged. The shower of flowers
from the children was manifestly an unexpected
feature of their reception. but they were none
the less delighted AS their smiles of acknowledge
ment to the little people, and their pleased ex
preston of countenance indicated. During the
ride around the three sides of the park the
shower was Kept up, and the carriage
was half filled with the flowers which
reached their aim, while the streets through
which the procession had passed was strewn
with the tributes from the little ones. On the
spire of the Second Presbyt terrain Church, at a
height which made one dizzy almost to look up
to, man waved flag as the procession passed,
attracting the attention of Generals Sherman
and Logan. Upon the arrival of the escort col
umn at the Denison House, General Sherman. af

from the carriage, covered with flowers and.
bearing as many of the bouquets and wreaths as
he could carry, was escorted directly to his
room.

General Sherman appears before the public was
with spirit that attested the feeling Of the peo-
pie who gave it volume, the conclusion being sig
nalized by the audience rising to their feet
1t was noticeable that the vast audience, while
enthusiastic, was discriminating, the best thought
being the most heartily applauded. Nor was
there word said that was not patriotic, and APP
plicable alike to all parts of the Union. The
general sentiment was that the people of the
North were glad that the Union had been pre-
served, and that the South had been brought
an answering sentiment in favor of all that the
loyal armies had accomplished, the soldier ele-
ment was too generous and too soldierly TO
take any satisfaction in the discontinue Of their
fallen foes, now bound to them by the ties of a
common country. Senator Harrison, moved
doubtless by the recent attempt to make it APP
pear that the lost cause was not dead, de-
nounced the exhibition of ingratitude in the
manner it deserved, and when he declared that
the fruits of the war must be preserved. and
that we should not allow to be questioned in de-
bate what we had not allowed to be
questioned in war. there was a shout
that could almost have been heard to
the stars, showing that the determination Of the
people on this point was the same it had ever
been, and it was made apparent that it would
prove very dangerous experiment for any man
men to attempt to put into practice any Of
the dead ideas that went down in the war. It
was healthy sign, and had the effect of strength
ening the feeling that the results of the war

The musical festival, as an entirety speaking
now of it as having established its character is
glorious success, and one of which every citizen
of Indianapolis may feel justly proud. The
city is now out of the region of provincialism,
and is ready to take its position among
those cities that are able to give to the
public those splendid exhibitions that do so much
to encourage and develope the public taste for
the artistic. With the splendid hall that is now
at command, it is possible that the very best en-
tertainments can be given. All that is needed
is that the people attest their appreciation by
patronizing the same, so that those in charge
may be encouraged. It has had magnifcens
introduction, and the prospect is that it will be
maintained. 1t certainly is the hope of one and
all that the splendid prestige gained will be
maintained. 1t could not have had more
propitious beginning. It is evident that the peo-
pie are thoroughly pleased with the showing
that the musical part of the population has
made, and are encouraged to 60 forward to the
accomplishment of even greater achievements,

Spouse to the outbursts Of cheers he raised his
miniature black sombrero and bowed pleasantly.
General Hovey, General Burdette and General
Gibson were also among. the distinguished men
present in the waiting crowd and received much
attention.

minutes before 5 o'clock-guns were fred and a

General Sherman and the reception committee,
which met him at Terre Haute, was dropped
from the passenger train at the Ten
nessee-street crossing, in order to give
the marshals time to force the crowd into line
before the commander made his appearance.
Five minutes or more elapsed before the car was
finally pushed down to Meridian street. and the
great commander was led out by General Carna-
han. He was dressed in plain, black suit, with
rather a long sack coat, on the lapel OF

matter in regard to 4 representative, and
the house went into committee of the whole

one to represent us this year. We think the
money would be better expended on the
