population to foreshadow a tidal wave of
popular enthusiasm and repetition OF the

Campaign OF Is4O. The principal event of
the day, outside of the local demonstra-
tions, was the arrival of train from
Chicago, at 3 80, bringing delegates aud
visitors. The Vermont delegation came

INDIANA's HAPPY METROPOLIS.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 26.-lndianapolish has
seldom presented such a scene as was wit
messed around General Harrlson's residence
during this evening and tonight, and it is
doubtful IL it could be surpassed in any city
on the continent. In front of the house had
been erected, during the day, SIX stands,
upon which had been mounted electric
lights OF great power aud bTilliancy,
TURNING THE DARKNESS OF NIGHT INTO THE
GLARE OF SooSDAY,
gurpassing that OF thesun. Adjacent houses
were all beautifully decorated, and their
lawns were lighted by Chinese lanterns of
all coiors and shapes. In the streets and
filling the spacious grounds surrounding
his residence, were packed several thousand
of the generals friends and neig hbors from
the city and state. They were happy aud
shouted every time the general made his
appearance, which he frequently did, going
down the steps onto the lawn, shaking
hands with all who presented themselves.
A constant stream OF visitors poured into
the house and ali were warmly gree, ed.
Several delegations from outlying counties
were among those who called, and among
these whose visit most
