INDIANAPoLIs, Dec. 1.-THE public
reception to night rendered at Tomlinson' 3
hall to the vice president-elect and Mrs.
Morton by the citizens of Indianapolis
was the most brilliant affair of the kind
ever witnessed in this city. The great
hall was tsstefully decorated with flowers,
bunting, banners and pictures of Gen.
Harrison and the distinguished guest of
the occasion. Shortly after 8 o'clock MI.
Morton entered accompanied by Mrs.
Harrison and followed by Gen. Harrison
escorting Mrs. Bergland. They took
their places in the center OF a long line of
distinguished guests. Next to Gen. Har-
rison and Mrs. Bergland stood Mrs. j. r.
Mckee, the handsome daughter of the
president elect, with her sister-in-law,
Mrs. Edward Mckee. Then followed
Governor and Mrs. Gray, Mayor and Mrs.
Denny, Mr.. Pierre Gray and wife and
others. At the head of the line stood the
vice president elect with Mrs. Harrison.
On the floor OF the hall around the side
had been placed seats which we're quickly
filed and perhaps 2, 800 people were
seated in the galleries watching the bril-
liant spectacle before them.
The crowd was admitted at the front
entrance on Market street and passed
slowly down the hall in a line two abreast
and shook hands with Mr.. Morton and
Gen. Harrison. Many of them also
shook hands with Mrs. Harrison, but at
ter halt an hour tie ladies becoming tired
stepped back and occupied seats the re
mainder OF the evening. Mrs. Harrison
occasionally coming forward sometimes
to the generals side and again by the
side Of Mr.. Morton. The stream was an
endless one and extended far down
through the hall and into the street two
blocks distant. 1t is estimated that TO-
600 people passed through the hall, not
all Of whom, however, had a chance to
shake hands with the president and vice
president elect. FROM 1000 to 5000
were turned away. About all the society
people in Indianapolis were present, as
many if not more ladies than gentlemen.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock the party re-

Harrison and Morton,

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. l4-Gen. Harri-
son and Mr.. Morton passed a rather quiet
day. They did not have a very large
number of callers at the house. Mr..
Morton is stia somewhat indisposed on
account Of his sore throat. Among the
callers to day were Gen. Washburn and
Col. Underwood of Minnesota. Col.
Underwood is president of the Harrison
and Morton club OF Minneapolis, which
has a membership of 1000, of which GOO
have decided to attend the Inauguration
in a body. Mrs. Morton and Mrs. Har-
rison had a number of callers during the
day. For a time Gen. Harrison's house
was beseiged by newspaper correspond
ents who were in a futter of excitement
over the report published in New York
this morning to the effect that Blaine had
been offered and would accept the state
portfolio. Efforts on the part of the cor
respondents to induce Gen. Harrison to
talk upon this subject proved a fiat
failure.
Immediately after his election Gen.
Harrison caused it to be made known to
the press representatives that he would not
affirm or deny any newspaper rumors or
stories regarding himself or what he pro-
posed to do. He has observed this rule
with a tenacity and rightly that eminently
characterizes his disposition, and when
appealed to on the ground of its extraor
binary nature to give some expression re-
garding the Blaine report. he replied with
considerable emphasis, 1T makes no diff
ference what is the nature of the report,
or through what channel it comes, | can-
not allow myself to be troubled with ques-
tons about such things. If | should say
anything once | would be expected to
again, and you can see what it would lead
to-"
The Associated Press correspondent, in
conversing with Mr.. Morton late this
afternoon, incidentally mentioned that
the Blaine story seemed to have caused a
great deal of excitement in Eastern polio
zeal circles, Judging from the character of
the press dispatches. Mr.. Morton re-
manned dumb as a sphynx upon the sub
ject. 1t may be stated, however, that no
one can be found, of those who are about
Gen. Harrison and would be likely to
know, who places any confidence what.
ever in the reported tender of the state
portfolio to Mr.. Blaine.

bate reflections were cast upon the

Indignant Conuressmen.

WASHINGTON. Dec. IA lively dis
cussion arose in the house this afternoon
based on an article in the New York pa
pers declaring there were two elements
united against the Nicaragua canal bill,
agents of the Pacific railroads and the
attorneys of the Panama canal.
Wilson of Minnesota sent to the clerks
desk and had read an article from a New
York newspaper declaring that two ele-
ments were united against the Nicaragua
canal bill. the agents of the Pacific rail-
roads and the attorneys of the Panama
canal company, giving an interview with
Judge Daley on the subject, intimating
that the gentlemen who had offered the
amendments to the bill Wilson of Mimi
esota, Cobb of Alabama, Bland of Mis-
souri,. and Spiiola of New York. ] were
seeking to defeat the bill by indirection.
Wilson. Bland. Spinola and Cox in
dulgcd in a very lengthy discussion Of this
article. Lobbyists we're severely scored
and SpinOla took occasion to say that
while he had no improper charges to
make against judge Daley all measures
with which that gentlemen had been asso-
clated since his retirement from the bench
had been of a very doubtful and greasy
character. Cox resented the attempt to
fix the reproach on Judge DAILY in connec-
ton with the interview. Finally the
matter was dropped and Payson's resolu-
ton adopted and the house zen into a
committee OF the whole on the Nicaragua
bill.
When the committee subsequently rose
an hour and a halt was spent in the vain
effort to secur a quorum upon the propo-
sition to limit the debate.
An evening session was held for consid-
Grafton of private pension bills.
