pelier, Ossian, Keystone and other towns
in Blackford and Wells counties, Indiana.
The combined delegations numbered about
1900. 4 unique feature of the delegation
from Wells county<was the presence OF
uniformed club of fifty-twO ladies from
Burlington known as the "Carrie Harrison
Club" In honor OF their visit and not
withstanding the inclement weather the
Currie Harrison club of this city, with a
drum corps Of thirty.siX prettily uniformed
young ladies each carrying a flag, marched
to the depot and escorted the visitors to
T0mlinson hall. 1t certainly was rare
sight to witness nearly 100 uniformed
ladies with female band of sixteen pieces
marching through the streets at the head
of a column of nearly 1900 men.
CH1CAGoANs PRESENT ALSO.
The delegations from Chicago were all
late in ARRIVING. The first was special
train of twelve Pullman and day coaches
over the Kankakee line, bringing 600 visit
ors from Hyde Park, Pullman, Engewood
and Lake View. They arrived at 7:3O and
were met at the depot by several local clubs.
Ats o'clock the streets were nearly impassi
bic, when the distant boom of cannon an.
nounced the approach on the outskirts of
the city of the first section of a special train
over the Chicago & Eastern Illinois road.
1t had pretty much the same effect as
though it was a signal for real battle, for
in a few minutes the air reverberated with
the echoes of an artillery salute and in re-
sponse fully 5000 people were swarming
around the depot. Fifteen minutes later
the second section of the train pulled in
amidst the wild cheers of many thousand
ROLLING OF ARTILLERY.
The delegations were 800 members of
the Chicago Union Veterans club, COM
manded by Capt. John j. Healy, 500 men,
bers of the Veteran Union league, COM
manded by Capt. James j. Healy, the
Blaine club, 14O strong, in handsome white
uniforms, the Zouave corps from Engle-
wood, drum corps from Lakeview, the
Second regiment band, also the Sons OF
Veterans band and five drum corps. In
addition to these uniformed organizations
near 1000 other citizens accompanied the
delegations, swelling the grand total of
visitors from Chicago and vicinity to fully
hind their famous band the enthusiasm
they created was very great. The enor-
nous crowds yelled and cheered and the
Chicago boys, not to be outdone, fairly
Went wild, waving their flags and hats the
entire distance. They brought with them
A LOG FORT
built on a platform car with six-pound
brass cannon protruding from the rear.
A detail from battery D of Chicago accom-
panied the cannon and kept it red hot as
the procession was moving toward Tom
linson hail. while the continued rattle of
the local artillery with the roar from the
marching thousands and the dozen bands,
all created such bedlam and confusion of
noises as only Chicago crowd can make.
1t was 9 o'clock when all TIE visitors had
entered Tomlinson hall. around which
was congregated about 10000 people being
held in check by large police force so as
to enable the visitors to obtain seats.
Nearly 5000 people were in the hall. AS
General Harrison stepped upon the stage
followed by Ex-Governor Hamilton, Ste
phen A. Douglas, Jr., Captain Healy and
Others there ensued such scene as was
never before witnessed in this city and sell
dom surpassed anywhere. The entire au-
dience
ROSE AS ONE MAN
and began cheering and yelling and way
ing flags For ten minutes this uproar of
yells, cheers and frantic motions continued.
Finally some enthusiastic veteran in the
rear of the stage came forward bearing the
silk flag of the Union Veteran club and
began waving it over General Harrison:s
head. One flag after another moved
through the crowded platform and was
carried to the front. As these ten flags
and as many elegant banners were waved
to and fro before the 5000 people it seemed
as II they had gone crazy. The din was
greater than anything of the like either at
the Chicago or the st. Louis conventions.
WHAT THE GENERAL SAID.
In the course Of his speech General Har
rison said: II am especially glad that
these skilled, intelligent workmen, coming
out OF your great workshops, have mani
tested by coming, to their fellow workmen
i'll Indiana and throughout the country.
their appreciation of what is involved for
them in this campaign. Mayth God who
has SO long blessed us as nation long
defer that evil day when penury shall be a
constant guest in the homes of our working
people and long preserve to us that intelli-
gent, thrifty and cheerful body OF workmen
that was our strength In war and is our
guarantee OF social order in times of peace

THE EVIL EFFECTS
of abandoning the policy of protection for
that OF a revenue tariff we are again con-
fronted by the suggestion that the princi-
pie of protection shall be eliminated from
our tariff legislation. Have we not had
enough of such experiments Does not the
history Of our tariff legislation tell us that
every revenue tariff has been followed by
business and industrial depression and
that return to the policy of protection has
stimulated our industries and set our
throbbing workshops again in motion, and
yet again and again the demo-
cratic party comes forward with
this, pernicious proposition-for it
has been from that party always it has
come. In speaking OF the demonstration
in conversation tonight General Harrison
said it was the most remarkable he had
ever witnessed. This practically closes
the arduous and fatigufng work of the
campaign with General Harrison till the
