Harrison receptions began to-day with
the visit of the 1910 veterans, boys in
blue, Fremont, Harrison and Morton
and German-American clubs from
/ Cleveland. 0. They reached the city,
numbering 500, at an early hour. Gen.
| James Barnett, of Gen. ROsecrans' staff
| during the war, was at the head of the
visiting delegations. The visitors
made a pleasing impression with
their attractive uniforms and
party emblems. They spent the MORN
ing at the New Denison until II o'clock,
when the number was increased by $50
students from Normal, Ill. The gen.
eral at the park was addressed by Gen.
E. Meyers for the Cleveland people,
and by William Galbraith, who spoke
for the students. In his response. which
throughout was warmly applauded, the
general spoke eloquently to the old sol
diers and feelingly to the veterans of
40, while he greeted the German-AmeF-

their thrift and sound information on
all common questions. About o'clock
this afternoon 1000 Chicagoans came in
over the Lake Erie g. Western road,
making the third large delegation from
that city that has visited Gen. Harrison.
The trip to this city was triumphant
one all the way through. Stops were
made at all the larger towns. and as the
train sped through the smaller
villages the crowds assembled at
each station and the travellers
exchanged cheers for the Republican
ticket. At NOblesvitle, Upton, KOko-
mo, Rochester and Peru ten-minute
stops we're made, and the large number
of people that had gathered at the depot
in each place were given short but
rOusing Republican talks. Among those
who made speeches were George Drlgg,
Judge Green and II. II. Thomas.
1t had been announced that
Mayor Roche would be along,
and at every stopping place there were
loud calls for him and much disappoint-
ment because he had been unayoidably
detained at home. Here the reception
by the citizens was of the most cordial
character, and in the march to the park
the streets were crowded with people
turning out
TO LOOK AT THE CHICAGOANs.
The TippecanOe club was a noticeable
feature in the procession, but the John
a. Logan club of Chicago and the Lo-
gan club of La Sale shared attention
with it. The Chicago Twelfth ward
Republicans also came in for a good
deal of complimentary talk. DR.. Smith,
of the TippecanOe club, spoke for the
visitors, and Gen. Harrison, responding,
excused himself from lengthy remarks
on account of the cold air to which all
were exposed. In what little he did
say he referred generally to the great
history of the Republican party, in
which, he said. there was nothing to
make man blush to own himself a Re-
publican. Each of the visitors was then
given
A HEARTY HANDSHAKE
as the general mingled with the crowd.
AS he was leaving the platform a party
of twenty-five children from working
mems homes in this city greeted him.
he gave them neat little speech, at
which the little ones were highly graf
flied. The Second regiment band gave
a concert tonight from the balcony
of the New Denison hotel. The
audience in the street numbered
between 1000 and 5000. When
the Cleveland boys formed line to
march to the depot the great crowd
gave them a cordial farewell. The
crowd was very demonstrative, and con-
tinued to parade the streets and cheer
until late hour. Many of the visitors
ATTENDED the mass meeting at the rink,
where the Hon. John NJ. Thurston, of
Nebraska, addressed a crowded house.
E. S. Taylor, of Chicago, also spoke,
Mrs. Helen NJ. GOuger, of Lafayette,
addressed an audience of $500 at Tom
linsOn's hall.
