IBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNkJ
Indianapolis, Oct. 5.-There was much sig
nifcancc in General Harrison's reception to-day.
His visitors comprised two delegations, one OF
which came from Madison, Wis, reaching here at
2 o'clock in the afternoon, after having travelled
all night. The other was from Fountain County,
which, according TO the boast of Edward A. Han
nagan, for forty years was the abiding place OF
"The tenth legion of Indiana Democracy but
enlightenment and conversion in the progress OF
time have diminished this /" tenth legion until
it is now only a remnant, and Captain Ben
Hegler, who headed the delegation of 300 voters
that came to the Hoosler Capital to-day assured
General Harrison that for the first time IN Its
history the county would give a Republican ma
iority next month. The enthusiasm in the county
for Harrison surpasses anything known In previous
campaigns, and among the most Jealous members
of the Republican organization are many Demo
Gratis The train that brought the visitors to the
city to-day was lavishy decorated with red, white
and blue and Republican notices, and an attractive
display of glitterng campaign uniforms was pre-
sented by 200 first voters in the march from the
railway station to the Republican headquarters.
The delegation was composed largely OF farmers,
among whom there were several Democrats VINO
will vote for Harrison. The Wisconsin visitors
did not arrive in the city until half an hour before
the time appointed for the reception, which was
held in Tomlinson Hail. The delegation numbered
200 many of whom were Scandnavians, class
of voters who seem instinctivey to become Re
publicans.
At 3 D. m the visitors assembled in the hall,
and soon aftcrward General Harrison appeared
before them He was greeted with prolonged
cheering lie looked tired and i'll, from the COM
bined effects OF continuous work and severe cold,
from which he has been suffering for nearly
a week The Introductory speeches were delivered
by Captain Heglcr, in behalf of Fountain County,
and Mr.. Spooner, as the representative OF the
Wisconsin people. Both were brief and pointed.
When General Harrison arose to RESPOND he was
loudly cheered. He said:
