ted States in proportion to population.

and Governor Humphrey and the balance
of the state ticket over 1900
Indianapolis, Nov. S.-If the unexpected
any indication Of what he may expect then
General Harrison, now that ne is the presi-
dent elect is about to experience reeetition
OF the visitation of numerous out
of town clubs aud delegations such
as followed his nomination and continued
steadily until the last of the campaign. 1t
NAV seem little curious to the public
that an out of town delegation from Dan
vile should be the first organization to
formally congratulate the general In per-
son. This is easily explained when it is
understood that General Harrison made
known his wishes to his home friends that
they kindly forbear for few days

observed and thus far while the

enjoying the society of his family after Il
long spell of hard work, and reading the
bulletins telling of his election without
manifesting more than the most ordinary
interest III the result.
Several pretended interviews with Gen
eral Harrison have very recently been
printed in three or more metropolitan
Journals. General Harrison, from the day
OF his nomination, has consistently de-
clined to be interviewed by any newspaper
correspondent, and has not knowingly
talked of public matters for publication.
These interviews, therefore, are not genu-
inc About dozen members of the Lincoln
club of Cincinnati came up tonight to con-
gratulate General Harrison. They took
carriages and arrived at the house about
and were cordially received by both Gen
eral and Mrs Harrison. Congressman Il.
F. Butterworth warmly congratulated the
general on behalf of the club and received
the generals cordial thanks in reply.
Mayor Amos Smith and II. z. Probasco
were also among the number. After a
pleasant visit of a half hour the party re-
turned to the city, leaving for home
shortly after midnight Word is received
that numerous clubs and delegations are
preparing TO come TO the city.
