INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 9.-The
people of indianapolis are gradually re-
covering from the political hallucina-
ton under which they have been labor
ing for the past three months. Many
professional and business men who
have given but half their time to their
occupations are settling down to work
again, and interest in the great cam
paign is gradually subsiding. Only
few hundred enthusiasts to-day kept up
their joIlifcation. The weather was in
clement early in the day, but toward
noon it cleared and turned uncomforta-
bly, warm. The boys of tie city con-
tinue to celebrate Gen. Harrison's
election. A tally-ho coach, drawn by
six horses and laden with men be-
decked with flags and ROSTERS, drove
through the streets the entire afternoon.
Arrangements are nearly. perfected for
grand ratification meeting tomorrow
night, and it is probable that Gen. Har-
risen will be induced to participate in
the demonstration in some way, either
by briefly addressing the crowd from
his residence steps, if the weather per-
mits march out to the house, or by
coming down town for a while and re-
viewing the parade. The president
elect will take pleasure in participating
in anything like general ratification
meeting, but in conversation this even
ing, upon the subject of visiting dele
cations. he expressed decided views in
opposition to the coming of small dele
cations for the purpose of congratulate
ing him. 1t is quite Impossible for Gen.
Harrison to give all
HIS TIME TO IIANDSHAKING
and receiving delegations. He has had
three months of this work, and during
the campaign many matters were nee.
essarily deferred and laid aside which
now demand his attention. Gen. Har-,
riSOn would, therefore, discourage the
personal visits of his Out-of-tOwn friends
for the purpose of congratulating him.
Congratulations by letter will receive
his prompt attention. Besides the del
egatiOn from the Commercial club of
Cincinnati, which called this morning,
q small delegation from Madison
county called on the president-eleet,
this afternoon, The general shook hands
cordially each member. To-.
night at o'clock he was serenaded by
the saw-makerS of the city, about 100 in
number. They were bedecked in red
from head to foot, presenting a CHASTITY
appearance under the glaring torches.
They marched by tours and each line
carried long red pole, OH which were
strung circular saws. Gen. Harrison
came out on the steps, and after the
serenade was concluded, in response to
calls for speech. said: The time for
speechmaking is over.
THE DEBATE IS CLOSED
and / believe the polls are closed
{.'Right you are'']. l will only thank
you for your call tonight and for that
friendly spirit which each of you have
shown to me during the campaign.
Gen. Harrison's mail has suddenly
doubled. He is receiving all sorts of
curious communications, including few
from cranks. He was the recipient to-
day of number of congratulatory tele-
grams from prominent members of the
Pili-Delta Theta college society of which
he was a member in his college days.
Fhe Republican headquarters at the
New Denison were closed to-day. The
clerical corps of the committee tonight
presented Chairman Huston with gold
headed cane. Secretary Ollie was like
wise honOred.
