INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. l.. Seventeen
carloads of Republicans came from
Morgan and Brown counties to-day to
see Gen. Harrison. There were proba-
bly, 1900 of the visitors. They brought
with them three brass bands. The del
egatiOn included clubs from Martins
vile. Morgantown, Mooresville and
Paragon. In the way of display the
visitors had ''hard cider barrel'' and
an old flag of the 1910 campaign and
two miniature houses. One was log
cabin complete, even to the rail fence
around it. This was designated .sOur
Log Cabin of $780, Our bows will
show you our present home," and it was
CARRIED BY THE VETERANS.
Inc otner was representation of
neat modern cottage with wire fence,
NY screens, etc. Over it was trans
parency reading: Protect our labor,
that we may not go back to the log cabin
of our fathers"
The delegation contained number of
TlppecanOe veterans and also thirty old
members OF Gen Harrison's regiment
OF the Seventh Indiana. They marched
In the hot sun to University Park and
gave Gen. Harrison most
ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION
on his appearance. The general had
| discarded his heavy Prince Albert, and
wore light sack coat without vest.
George A. Adams, of Martinsville,
was the spokesman for the visitors. and
in his address dwelt upon the presence
OF the veterans from Harrison's regi-
ment. In closing his remarks he asked
the privilege for the old veterans of

zen. Harrison responded as follows:
HARRISON'S SPEECH.
Mr.. Adams, and my Morgan and
Brown county friends: In previous
campaigns L have not put you to the
trouble to come to see me- NV habit
has been to go to you, and it has been
my pleasure often to discuss before you
the issues that were involved in our
campaigns. The limitations which are
upon me now prevent me from follow
ing this old habit and put you, who de-
sire to see me, to the trouble of coming
here. My associations with the county
OF Morgan have been very close.
Among its artisans are some of my most
devoted personal and political friends.
There are also in your county large
number of my comrades, to whom am
bound by the
VERY CLOSE TIES
that must always unite those who
marched under the same regimental
banner.
Your county furnished two companies
of the Seventeen Indiana, brave, true
men, commanded by intelligent and
capable officers, and having in the
ranks OF both companies men as capa-
bic of commanding as any who wore
shoulder straps in the regiment. These
men, together with their comrades of
the Thirty-third and of other regiments
that were recruited in your county,
went into the service from very high
motives. They heard the call of their
country saying: HE that loveth father
or mother, or wife, or child. or houses
or lands more than me is not worthy of
me-" and they were found worthy by
THIS SUPREME TEST.
Many of you were so careless of a
money recompense for the services YOU
offered and gave that when you lifted
your hands and swore to protect and de-
fend the constitution and the flag, you
dld not even know what yOur paw was
to be. [Cries of THAT'S sou If there
was any carefulneSs or thought in that
direction, it was only that the necessary
provision might be made for those you
left at home.
NO SoRDID IMPULSE,
no low emotion called you to the field.
IApplause.l In remembering all the
painful ways in which you walked, WAYS
or toll and suffering and sickness and
dying, to emerge into the glorious sun
light of that great day at Washington,
we must not forget that in the homes
you left these were also
SACRIFICES AND SUFFERINGS.
Anxiety dwelt perpetually with those
you left behind. We remember CRATE
fully the sacrifices and sufferings of the
fathers and mothers who sent you to the
field, and much more, of the wives who
bravely gave up to the country the most
cherished objects of their love. And
now, peace has come; no hand is lifted
against the flag; the constitution is
again supreme and the nation one. My
cOuntrymen, it is no time now to use an
apothecary's scale to weigh the rewards
of the men who
8, SAVED THE COUNTRY.
If you will pardon me, will not fur
ther follow the line of remarks suggest
ed by the kind words you have ad- |
dressed to me through your represent |
atives. | notice the limitation which !
your spokesman has put upon you. but
l beg to assure him and you that am
not SO worn that have not the strength |
to greet any of you who have the desire |
to greet me. [Great applause.
The young men. as well as the veter- |
ans, accepted this invitation of Gen.
Harrison and all shook hands.
i The general has become an adept in
the art of Misunderstanding. Standing a
little higher than the crowd, he extends
his hands simultaneously to the passing
crowd, and thus averages over sixty
shakes per minute.
Tomorrow Gen. Harrison will enjoy
a day of rest, as no delegations are ex-
pected to arrive until Friday,
