along the route occurred at

went to the rear platform and shook
hands with him. The general made no

shook hands during the brief stop. At

a crowd of nearly thousand greeted
the general and his party as they alight-

that the general made his way to the
waiting room of the depot, where he re-
ceived the people. The party was COM
PEELED to wait here nearly an hour and
a half, and alter shaking hands all

railroad offices.
While awaiting the arrival of their
train. special on the Lake Erie d
Western brought LOCO Democrats to at

addressed by Gov. Gray. Notwithstand-
ing the difference in their political pro-
clivities, with their hickoIy sticks, the

an end to the reception.

stand had been erected on which was
seated Judge Woods, eX-Gov. Foster and
other distinguished gentlemen, besides
the veterans of 1S40 and a number of
eX-soldlers. The assemblage was called
to order by James M. Brown, chairman
of the Republican clubs executive com

speech, and introduced Gen. Harrison.
The general returned thanks for the
reception, and then discussed the
tariff question, appealing to his
hearers to give the subject serious
consideration, and he would have no
fear of the result. He addressed him

which were given and the crowd dis
persed. Mr.. Harrison retired to the
lower floor of Memorial hall and held a
handshaking levee. Gen. Harrison

gives evidence of the strain which has
been upon him for the past two months.
He looks very much worn
