INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 6.-ThlS
was Gen. Harrison's last regular recep-
ton day for visiting delegations, at
least until after the Goth inst, when it
is probable these reception delegations
will be resumed for a period. The
weather was unpropitiOus for street
parades, the streets being muddy and
the atmosphere raw, with occasional
light showers. The first delegation
of the day came from Bluff
ton, Huntford City, Montpelier,
Ossian, Keystone and other
towns in Blackford and Wells counties,
Indiana. The combined delegations
numbered about 1.5O0. A unique feat
ure of the delegation from Wells
county was the presence of uniformed
club of fifty-twO ladies from Button,
known as the Carrie Harrison club. 1t
was the first club of it's kind organized
in Indiana, and Mrs. Rachael Martin,
the president, states that each member
has already secured pledges of from
one to three votes for Gen. Harrison.
They were accompanied by band COM
posed entirely of ladies from Mont
peller. In honor of their visit, and not
withstanding the inclement weather,
the Carrie Harrison club of this city
Miss Schilling captain), with a drum
corps and thirty-six prettily uniformed
young ladies, each carrying a flag,
marched to the depot and escorted the
visitors to TOmlinSOn hall. 1t certainly

with female band of sixteen pieces,
and marching through the streets at the
head of a column of nearly 1,500 men.
The ladies were repeatedly cheered by
the crowds along the route, but their
only acknowledgment of the attention
was uniform waving of their flags,
which at the command would again be
brought TO "carry arms" and look
ing neither to the right, nor to the
left, they kept excellent step the
entire distance. Arriving at the hall
the ladies occupied the front seats, and
when Gen. Harrison appeared they
were among the most enthusiastic in
greeting him. The Introductory adj
dresses were made by William Shinn,
for the BlackfOrd county visitors, and
j. E. Todd, for Wells county. Gen.
Harrison confined his speech largely to
matters directly interesting Indiana
people. Gen. Harrison then shook
hands with thousand or more
of the visitors and took occasion while
the BlufftOn Carrie Harrison club"
was being introduced to cordially invite
them to call on Mrs. Harrison. Ac-
cOrdingly the club, with its Amazon
band, marched out to the Harrison resi-

Mrs. Harrison. Notwithstanding the
big Republican street parade, set for to-
night, had been postponed, as darkness
approached, it was noticeable that the
streets began to fill up and expectancy
was written on every face. This was
because the Hoosiers knew great big

when the Chicago boys come to town,
and later events proved they were not
disappointed. The delegations were
all late in arriving. The first to reach
the city was the special trains of twelve
PullmanS and day coaches over the Kan
kakee line, bringing 600 visitors from
Hyde Park. Pullman, Englewood and
Lake View. They arrived at 7:30, and
were met at the depot by sew
eral local clubs. Among the
prominent Republicans accompany
ing this delegation was Judge
E. W. Keightly, John E. Cowells, Frank
|. Bennett, Charles II. Kimball and
Judge c. NJ. Hawley: The visitors all
belong to the Clyde Park league" and
the iron factories and rolling mills of
Pullman, Hyde Park and South Chi
cago. 1t was 9 O'Clock when all the
visitors had entered Tomlinson's hall,
around which was cOngregated about 10,-
600 people, being held in check by large
police force, so as to enable the visitors
to obtain seats. The great building was
packed, ever nook and corner had an
occupant, with several thousand out
side unable to obtain even standing
room. Nearly 5000 people were in the
hall, including several hundred ladies'.
AS Gen. Harrison stepped upon the
stage. followed by eX-Gov. Hamil-
ton. Stephen A. Douglas. Capt.
Healey and others, there ensued
such a scene as was never before
witnessed in this city and seldom sur
passed anywhere. The entire audience
rose as one man and began cheering and
Yelling and waving flags, hats and even
taking off their coats and waving these
garments from the galleries. For ten
minutes this uproar of Yells, cheers and
frantic motions continued. Finally
some enthusiastic veterans in the rear
of the stage came forward bearing the
silk flag of the Union Veteran club and
began waving it over Gen. Harri-
son's head. This was the signal for an
intensified outbreak which grew to
remarkable pitch as one flag after an
other moved through the crowded plat
form and carried to the front. AS these
ten flags, and as many elegant banners
were waved to and fro before the 5000
neople. it seemed as if they had gone
crazy, the din was louder and greater
than anything of the like, either at the
Chicago or st. Louis conventions. The
audience seemed to have
REACHED THE FRENZY PITCH
when Judge Martindale and others mo-
toned the flag-bearers to withdraw and
began making efforts to subdue the
demonstration. During the whole time
Gen. Harrison stood beside the small
table, looking intensely interested.
When, at last, quiet had been restored,
Judge Martindale introduced EX.-Gov.
Hamilton, WHO made an eloquent
address on behalf Of the Chi
cago delegations. He was followed
bv Judge E. w. Keighley, of
Hvde Park, whose speech evoked great
applause and enthusiasm. When Har-
rison rose to respond, there was an at
tempted renewal of the previous demon
stration, but it was suppressed from the
platform. He spoke with remarkable
earnestness, his voice penetrating the
farthest corner of the greet auditorium.
Throughout his speech the audience
