REAL TRAGEDY IN A CIRCUS,
GENERAL HARRrsoN,s APPEAL

GENERAL HARRISON'S APPEAL Fer q Free Ballot i'm the South Now Held in Bondage to Ancient TradI. t1onS-Under a Protective Tariff the Balance of Trade is With Us. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 5.-Wisconsir and Indiana were the States represented to- day at General Harrison's reception. The Indiana delegation numbered between ], BOG and 1, 800, and included small club of Tip peeanoe veterans. The Wisconsin visitors numbered 200. In his speech to them Gen. eral Harrison said:
 "I am glad to-day that Indiana had an op- portunity to welcome delegation from the magnificent State of Wisconsin. Cheers. It offers fitting opportunity to acknowledge Ay personal obligation and the obligation of the Indiana Republicans for the early and constant support which Wisconsin gave to the efforts of the Indiana delegation in the Chicago convention. Prolonged cheers.) To- day two States not continuous territory, but touching in many interests, are met to ex- press the fact that these great electoral con- tests affect all our people. It is not alone in the choice of presidential electors that we have common interests. Our national Con- gress, though chosen in separate districts, legislates for all our people. Wisconsin has direct interest that the ballot shall be free and pure in Indiana, and Wisconsin and h. diana have direct interest that the ballot shall be free and pure in all the States. (Great cheers.) Therefore let no man say that it is none of your business how elec- t1ons are conducted in other States. " Cheers.
 THE JUSTICE OF A FREE BALLOT.
 "I believe that this great question of a free ballot, so much discussed as race ques- tion in the South would be settled this year, if the men of the South, who believe with us upon the great question of the protection of American industries would throw off old prejudices and vote their convictions upon that question. I believe there are indications that the independent manhood of the South will this year strongly manifest itself in this direction. Those intelligent and progressive citizens of the South, who are seeking to build up within their own States diversified industries, will not much longer be kept in bondage to the traditions of the days when the South was wholly a community of planters. When they assert their belief in 8 protective tariff by supporting the only par ty that advocates that policy, the question of & free ballot, so far as it is southern ques- tion will be settled forever, for they will have the power to insist that those who be- lieve with them shall vote with them and that their votes shall be counted. (Ap- plause.)
 BALANCE OF TRADE IS WITH US UNDER A PRO !.
 TIVE TARIFF.
 The protective policy by developing home supply and limiting importations helps us to maintain the balance of trade upon our side in our dealings with the world (cheers). Up- der the trrif of 1846 from the year 1850 to 1860 the balance of trade was continually against us, aggregating in that period over $500, ,O00, 900. Under the influence of a pro- tective tariff the balance of trade has been generally and largely with us, unless dis turbed by special conditions. Instead of sending our gold abroad to pay foreign bank we have been bringing foreign gold here to augment our store (cheers). I will not detain you further. These daily demands upon me make it necessary that I should speak briefly"
