All Along the Line the Hoosiers
Shout Themselves HOarse.

Shout Themselves HOarSe.
The speech was delivered with re-
markable energy. AT one time both
arms would be uplifted and fists
clenched. At another the speaker
would bend almost double over the rail-
ing. Ever and anon the general would
stride up and down the pavilion, now
turning to the right of his audience and
then as quickly TO the left. His vlgor
and activity surprised even the intimate
friends who had been with him at Mid
die Bass. The speech was punctu-
ated with applause, and when he con-
cluded, the general received an ovation
For an hour or more thereafter the peo-
pie filed past the pavilion and graSped
him by the hand, and hundreds were
still waiting to avail themselves of the
privilege when the whistle of the
special train blew its note of warning.
The general was hastily driven to the
depot. and, while the crowd in waiting
gave three hearty cheers and the band
played "Home Again." the train moved
out. AT every station between Fort
Wayne and indianapolis the platforms
were packed, and cheers were given
as the train passed by. Short stops were
made at Huntington, Peru, KokOmO and
other points. and the general spoke
briefly from the rear platform of the car.
His remarks in each instance were in
the main repetition of his address at
Fort Wayne, havii g reference to tue
prosperity of the various cities, and to
the fact that as thoughtful citizens, anX-
iOuS for the development of their vari-
Gus localities, it behoOved them to con-
slider whether the protective system,
WI f,.Ta oil 10 70
turer, mechanic, artisan and farmer,
should not be maintained. AT Kokoma
he said that the result of this campaign
would settle the issue for
MANY YEARS TO COME.
Previous campaigns had been OBJ
scured by side issues, but there was no
miStaking the issue of this one. 1t was
question whether the industries eff the
country should continue to be pro-
tected by national legislation, or
whether there should be such change
as would bring down wages to foreign
standard. 1t was simply a question as
to whether the prosperity of the coun-
try should be continued or destroyed.
At every stopping place the generals
brief remarks were cheered to the echo.
There were large and enthusiastic
crowds at Upton, Atlanta and Mobiles
Vile. AT the latter place committee of
escort of the Columbia Club of Indianap-
oils 100 strong boarded the train and babe
the general and his wife hearty wei
come home. The firing Of a cannan an
nOunced the fact that the train had
crossed the city limits, and by the time
that it reached the depot the structure
and far out into the streets on either
side was one sea of heads. 1t was with
difficulty that the party were conducted
TO the carriages in waiting, that as
signed to the general and wife being
drawn by four tirSt-claSS horses. The
procession was headed by double file
of little girls dressed in white, followed
by the Railroadmen'S club, First Regi-
ment Harrison and Morton club, Harri-
son and Morton cavalry, the Republican
guards, Columbia club, delegations
from near by points, and citizens on
foot, on horseback and in carriages.
From beginning to end it reached from
the depot to the generals residence, a
distance of nearly two miles. All along
the route the sidewalks and rOadWayS
were
PACKED WITH SPECTATORS,
who cheered themselves hOaSe as the
carriage with its distinguished Occu-
pants passed by. 1t was by far larger
anu more Enthusiastic demonstration
than that accorded Mr.. Blaine on his
visit to indianapolis in 1884, and which,
i'll itself, was memorable one in the
history of the city. After reaching his
residence Gen. Harrison, speaking from
the porch, expressed in a few neat
phrases his thanks and those of Mrs:
Harrison for the welcome extended
them. Then they retired indoors. and
the throng, after wearying itself out in
the effort to call them out again, slowly
dispersed.
