Dec. Is, 1884, to Gen. Harrison's law firm,
stating his reasons for dismissing his suit
against the Sentinel company. The paper
Is repIete with cartoons bearing upon these
subjects.
The republican demonstration to-day was
one of the largest and most successful ever
held in Indiana.
The early trains poured their thousands
Into the city Nearly all OF the fifteen rail
roads entering the city ran special trains.
Some of the roads were unable to bring all
the passengers who desired to come. Not
les than 900 extra passenger coaches were
employed 1t is estimated that by noon
over 5000 visitors had arrived.
STREETS BLOCKADED.
Early in the day the streets became block
aided throughout the business district, and
pedestrians found it a tedious matter u
travel Scores of bands and drum corps
were marching to and fro, and the scene
during the morning was one Of confusion
and noise. The hotel corridors We're
crowded, and the din of fife and drum was
70 be heard everywhere. Toward noon the
streets around the republican headquarters
at the New Denison began 70 fill, and at l
O'Clock nothing but a solid wall of humanity
was to be seen Tor two squares up and down
PENNSYLVANIA avenue. The colun formed
on East Washington street, and owing to
the great confusion that prevailed in its
formation by divisions, something like 5000
members of the Lincoln leagues from the
country were unable to obtain their posi-
fions in the line aud took no part in the
parade.
ARRIVAL or THE DAYS LIONS.
At 80 O'Clock Gen. Harrison. accompa-
MED by Mr.. Blaine, arrived at New Deni-
son. Their appearances was the signal for
tremendous Outburst from the 80, 600 people
backed ike sardines in the streets below.
The cheering continued several minutes.
At 80 o'clock the bonn Of a cannon told
the waiting thousands that the column had
started The line of march was west on
Washington street to Pennsylvania, north
ON Pennsylvania TO Fort Wayne avenue and
along Delaware street out to the exposition
grounds. The column was an hour and
half in passing.
1900 IN LINE.
II is estimated that there were nearly
Y2OOO men in line. There were not less
than forty bands and drum corps in the
procession At the rear Of the first division
came gigantic Harrison and Morton ball,
drawn by four horses and rolling
continuously in its framework.
This is the first campaign bail
seen IN this city, and its passage elected
storms of cheers. There were thirty-two
uniformed ward clubs from this city in
line. There were over twenty-five colored
clubs, their numbers aggregating between
1900 and 1900. They were among the
most demonstrative clubs in the procession.
PROTECTION A NATIONAL ISSUE.
Mr.. Blaine delivered speech tonight, in
the course Of which he said:
II 1s the studied and persistent effort Of the
Democratic party in this presidential campaign
70 prejudice the west against the east on the
subject Of the tariff maintaining that the east
ern states get the benefit Ct protec-
fion. and the western states get its bur
dens Now If tie tariff for protection
30 operates that one section gets a gain
and the other gets a loss. then the whole sys-
ten Of protection ought 70 be abolished; and if
the advocates of the protective tariff cannot
prove that Il is Of as great advantage 70 the
west as il is 70 the east, as great an advantage
70 the south as it is to the north and that il is
national and not sectional policy-if. l say,
they cannot establish those points, then the
policy ought TO BE- aban 1oned. But maintain.
and ia the few minutes ! shall occupy your at
fention. snail endeayor to prove by figures
and BIZ facts. that the west. the great. growing
teening urospa rOus west has gained more out
OF the protective tariff than any section OF the
whole union.
Mr. Blaine used statistics of the growth
OF tie western states to demonstrate his
proposition. and his speech was entirely
devoted 10 an ANALYSIS of these statistics.
