ladies braved the weather to come with
them. AS the long procession fled
through the streets the already excited
populace went wild. The recognition
of Danville friends by Indianapolitans
was followed by an exhibition of broth

of the Dromios pales in comparison.
With flags flying, men pushing. sing

brass bands and cannon all uniting to
make an indescribable medley, the Har-

crowd surged into the yard Gen. Harri-
son yentured to look out of the south
window. He was seen Immediately and
the crowd broke for the window. By
this time the spokesman of the delega-
ton, Hon. John j. Hull, had been
ushered into the library. He said that
all they wanted was to
TENDER THEIR CONGRATULATIONS

the front steps. For a time each men,

eral Harrison shook hands with the few
who insisted. thon bade them pleasant
''good night" and retired. Apparently
all interest in the election returns yet
to come has died out. No one cares to
take time 60 read them. The fact that
Gen Harrison is elected is all the re-
turns they seek. Arrangements for
huge ratification meeting Saturday
evening and night are in progress.
If the unexpected arrival Of three out
of-town delegations is any indication OF
what lie may expect, then Gen. Harri-
son, now that he is president elect, is
about to experience the repetition OF
numerous out-of-town clubs and dele
cations, such as followed his nomination
and continued steadily until the last
week of the campaign. 1t may seem
little curious to the public that an out
oftown delegation from Danville should
be the first organization to formally
congratulate the general in person.
This is easily explained when it is UNI

dence. His wishes have been scrupu-
lously observed, and thus far, while the
widest scenes ever enacted i'll any city
were in progress down town, the man
over whoee election they were jubilat-
ing, sat quietly in his library only
mile away, enjoying the society of
his family after long spell OF
hard work, and reading the bulletins
telling of his election, without manifest
ing more than the most ordinary inter-
est in the result. In order that he may
enjoy the privacy he desired during
these days, but very few of his many
personal friends have as yet
called to tender their congratu-
lations. The simple reading of the
several thousand kilograms he has re-
ceived is no small task, and has occu
pied much of his time. He is very par
ticular about this, and will permit no
telegram to be laid away until he has
carefully read it, and many Of them

In the early hours of the election, Gen.
Harrison received perhaps two or three
hundred kilograms from friends in the
state and elsewhere, inQuiring as to the
latest returns and what his prospects
were. Speaking of this matter tonight,
the general said that he found it ut

curing telegramS. In many cases the
information asked had been supplied
by the press bulletins, which were the
generals principal source of news. and
after they were a day old. replies
seemed unnecessary. All that
reached him early he attempted
to answer. Several pretended in
terviews with Gen. Harrison have
very recently been printed i'll three or

has consistently declined to be inter-
viewed by any newspaper correspond

public matters for publication. These
