INDIANAPOLIS, June 26.-The excite
ment of yesterday, caused by the
nomination of Gen. Harrison. continued
during to-day, with change of scenes
and incidents. The city is disposed to
appreciate the novelty and honor of
having presidential candidate in the
highest degree, and to get all the enjoy
ment possible out of it. The horn blow
ing, which hardly stopped during the
night, resumed early this morning and
has continued all day. The streets
have been thronged with people, most
of them wearing Harrison badges of
some kind. In addition to the city
population large numbers have come in
Oh the trains from surrounding towns to
swell the crowds. Gen. Harrison was
not at his office during the day, and his
house was visited by large number of
people. Several photographers and
special artists were there taking views
of the residence and surroundings.
Authorized sketches were obtained for
numerous illustrated papers. The auto
graph seeker was on hand and the relic
hunter made good beginning at
chipping the front fence. An electric
light company is putting up some arc
lights OH the lawn, and the local COM
mittee is preparing portable platform
for use in the vicinity should there be
occasion for speech-making. All these
indications are held by the local Repub-
ican population to

of the day, outside of local demOnStra-

Republican national committee from
this state, and other leading Republi-
cans. and were escorted at once to Gen.
HarriSOn'S residence, where an informal
reception was held. No speeches were
made, but there were many personal in
Productions and much handShaking. At
the conclusion of this most of the party
drove to the depot and resumed their
journey.
At dusk a double salute of cannon
was fired, and there was a general il

came on late train, arriving about
O'Clock p. m. By this time the streets
were abaze with natural gas illumina-
tions, several arches and pyramids of
fire shooting their flames in the air.
The sidewalks were even more crowded
than last night, and the confused din of
cheering and horn-blowing was con-
tinuous. The crowds surged to and fro
in a good-natured way. shouting for
Harrison and Morton. The mass meet

persons present. Mr.. Griffin made a
