With change of scene and Incidents. The

honor of ha ring presidential candidate in
the highest degree. The horn blowing, which
| hardly stopped during the night, was re-
sumed early this morning and has continued
all the day. The streets have been thronged
with people, most of them wearing Harrison
badges of some kind. Large numbers have
come in by the trains all day. General Har-
rison was not at his Office during the day and
his house was visited by large numbers of
people. The municipal event of the day out

| of q train from Chicago at $50 bringing dele
gates and visitors. The Vermont delegates
came solid with some from Massachusetts,
and other New England States. The
delegation from the State of Georgia
arrived also. These were met at
the depot by great crowd of people. Fifty
open carriages were on hand to receive
them. They were accompanied by Hon.
John G. New and other leading Republicans
and were escorted to General Harrison's res
idence, where an informal reception was held.
No speeches were made, but there were
| many personal introductions. At the con-
| clusion of this the party drove to the depot
and resumed the journey. At dusk double
salute was fired and there was general illu-
mination of natural gas and electric lights.
A further installment of Chicago pilgrims
came on a late train, arriving about p. m.
By this time the streets were ablaze. The
sidewalks were even more crowded than last
night, and the confused din of cheering and
horn blowing was continued. A mass meet
ing was held at Tomlinson hall, and Chair
man Griffin of the State committee made
speech. The audience gave three
chsers for the Indiana delegation
and their work at Chicago. Majer Calkins
of this city, Hon. g. Henry Gould of Massa-
chusetts, Hon. Frank Plumley of Vermont,
Judge Wood of Virginia, Hon. R. s. Robinson
and Hon. j. T. Grif6ths also spoke. All the
speakers were vociferously cheered and every
allusion to the names of Harrison and Merton
was voeiferously applauded. The delegates
included the California delegation and por-
ton of the New York. They were received
at the depot and driven to General Harrison's
residence where they had a brief talk with
