worked until late into the night sending
dispatches and attending TO the tele-
grams OF coincidence that had been re-
ceived during the day.

cred TO match the casket, with six heavy

county and the city OF Lafayette and vi
cinity paid their respects to Genera
Harrison to-day.
D. Wilson Smith, of Lafayette, briefly
addressed General Harrison on behalf o.
the delegation from the county wherein
lies the celebrated battle field so histori'
cally identified with the name and fame
OF President William Henry Harrison.
General Harrison in his reply, touched
upon the origin and principles OF the
Republican party and spoke rs follows;
Mr.. SAITH, AND My TpPEcANoE CouN-
TY FRIENDs:-I am very grateful for the
evidence which you give me this morn
ing by your presence and by the kind
words which yourrepresentative has ad.
dressed to me, Of your respect and good
will. You are members, in great part,
Of u party that was not machine made.
II had its birth in an impulse that stir
red simultaneously the hearts of those
who loved liberty. The Republican
party did not organize for spoils; it u.s.
sembled on the altar OF sacrifice, and in
n sanctuary bcset with enemies. You
have not forgotten our early battle cry:
Free speech, - free press, free schools,
and free territories" We have widened
the last word: 1t tisnow 70 free Nation"
The appeals which we have niade and
shall yet make are addressed to the
hearts, :he Consciences and to the minds
Of our people. Therefore in our politl-
cal campaigns, let men think ior them
selves, and truth will assert its way
over the minds at our people. Then
everything that affects the record and
character of the candidates, and the
principles OF the parties will be brought
to safe tribunal, whose judgment will
be right. Great applause, and cries OF
"GOOd, good.")
At the conclusion OF the Generals
speech, Misunderstanding was the order.
Later in the afternoon, another dele
