PuT-IN-BAY, o., August 3l.-This WIS
memorable day for the five hundred
residents of Put-in-Bay. Early this
morning the islanders began to make
preparations for the reception and en-
tertainment of their distinguishedg guests
General Harrison and party. By 10
o'clock the residents Of the neighboring
islands began to arrive, dressed in holi-
day attire, and as their little
yachts sailed into the historic bay
they were welcomed by the native
residents and others. Shortly after two
o'clock the steam ganges in which were
General Harrison and party arrived.
They were met at the pier by John
Brown, Jr., and press representatives,
and escorted through the crowd to the
pavilion in the adjacent grove. The
pavilion had been tastefully decorated
for the occasion. Arriving ut the paviI-
lion the ceremonies were OF an informal
character.
Ex-Governor Foster, introduced Gen.
Harrison in neat speech, in which the
General responded as follows:
HARRIsoN's SPEECH.

lie reception. We are here in the immc-
diatc neighborhood OF one of those great
historic events that was among the most
potential agencies in settling our title
TO the great northwest II we had
stood where we stand to-day, we
could have heard the guns OF Perry's |
fleet. II we stood where we stand To-
day we could have welcomed him as he |
came victor into Put-in.Bay. These
institutions OF ours are in our own keep
ing now; and not only our fundamental |
institutions, but the fame that has been |
won by those who have gone before. L.
may therefore properly say to-day that
Il campaign like this demands the
thoughtful consideration OF every Amer
lean voter We are prosperous cheers.
The story OF our prosperity,
DEVELOPMENT IN WEALTH,
OF our achievements in finance as ma
ton since and during the war, is almost
us admirable as that OF our achievements
in arms. The assembling of war reyc-
nue. is even more difficult than the as
OF armies, and yet we were
able to maintain those armies in the
field and have been able since not only
to beargP the great load Of debt, but
to pay it OIL, until that which was
once thought to he burden that would
crush our industries, has come to be
in our hands but as the ball that
the boy tosses In play [chccrsl,
and we are confronted to-day with the
question, not how we shall get money,
but how We shall wisely stop some Of
those avenues by which wealth is pour
into our public treasury. 1t is n graver
problem than that which confronted the
great War Secretary, in whose name you
so delight, how to raise revenue to
prosecute the war successfully II

WISELY SOLVED.
And Imay note also the fact that not
withstanding this complaint OF excessive
revenue, there are some who suggest
that they are not able adequately to
arouse the popular indignation against
excessive taxation because they cannot
lisclo:e to the people when or how they
ere paying the taxes. Applause. 1t
is taken, they say, so indirectly and so
subtlely that thcse-our plain people
don't know that they are paying them
at all. [AppIauscl.
At the conclusion OF the Generals adj
dress lie took position on the steps of
the pavilion. The crowd passed before
the General, shaking his hands vigorous
ly. At the opposite end of the steps
stood Governor Foster, and many also
stopped and shook his hand.
General Harrison and his party re-
turned to Middle Bass early in the even
ing. Both the General and Mrs. Har-
rlsOn express themselves as delighted
with their vacation and both plainly
show the benefit derived from their rest
and exposure.
