PRESIDENT HICKS ADDRESS.
An Interesting Talk on the Subject OF
Journalism.

An Interesting Talk on the Subject of
Journalism.
After speaking of the qualification he
felt at the large size of the gathering
and its representative character, Presi-
dent Hicks paid the following tribute to
the distinguished guests of the associa-
ton:
We have with us the man who, since the death
of Horace Greeley, may fairly be SAID to stand at
the head OF American journalism man who
represents the culture, the brains and the Uis
ertid of the press. man whose intense personal
ity pervades not only his own paper, but is felt
throughout the affairs Of great CITY, great
state and great nation man who thoroug lilly
believes that
To have giants strength; but il is tyrannous
10 use it like giant
And man whose newspaper has for twenty
years embodied ideas and improvements
which the press of to-day is only just begun
the presence OF a Western brother of the press
whose genius has brought him before the public
IN the most favorable light, a writer whose
homely phrases and honest rustic rhymes have
endeared him to the people, man who seems
destined to occupy in the minds of Americans
the place hlled III the Ola MOTTO E ny ROBERT
Punkin." | think it Will do US good to meet
aud know these men. and aside from the value OF
their public utterances there Is something III
personal contact IN seeing and talking with
tics, Blaine TO American politics, or Edison
to electricity, these men are 10 American jour
nalism and latter-day American poetry, and we
who have the privilege of listening to them and
making their acquaintance may congratulate
ourselves upon our great good fortune. AS the
mineral dug from our northern mines when
brought in contact with powerful magnet I'M
bibes uneonsclously some of its qualities, so we
by intercourse with these distinguished gentle
men may learn that which will benefit us in our
work and enable US the better TO discharge our
duty to the public.
Referring to the proposed excursion
of the association. through the northern
part of the state, he said
The region of country which we shall visit has
been opened to the public only within few
wears and the press of the state can aid its de-
valopment as the glorious sun fructifes and
bealititi-s this virgin soil opened to its rays.
While our attention has been attracted to the
fertile Drairles of Dakota and Nebraska and the
rand development of material wealth in the far
West many of US have overlooked the fact that
orr own state contains more arabic land, more
mineral wealth more inexE@ustiDle treasures in
timber and q more healthful climate than any
of the territory west OF the Mississippi. To see
for ourselves and, seeing, to enable others TO
know some of the advantages of our state ID one
great object of our visit.

Hail Protection for our land

For projections glorious prize.
Firm united let US be,
RallyiDg around our industry;
In the cause OF wages Joined

Sound, sound the loud acclaim,
Let Ben Harrison's great name
King through the land with glad huzzas.
Ring through the lan6 with glad nuzzss
Let every state join in the song
And pass the joyful strain along.
With courage grand he battled brave
The Union and the flag to save.
And loyal still in peace he wrought
To fix the victories war had bought.

Rallying around our industry;
In the cause of wages joined

Immortal patriots once more rise,
tOur Country Calls, again she cries;
The free trade cloud above you lowers,

And foreign cOrmorants seek the spoil
OF all your fruits of honest toll.
Stand by your cause sincere and true,
Your banner the red white and blue,
For protection shall prevail
And every scheme of free trade fail.
Firm united let US be,
Rallying around our industry;
In the canse of wages joined
Sure prosperity we'll find.

freight train near Bremen at 5 o'clock

The Issue is Free Trade.

From the PhlIadeIph1a North American.
We direct attention to the fact that
every Democrat who declares for Harri-
son explicitly says that he cannot in
dorse the message or the Mills bill, that
lie is for protection with the Republicans
against free trade with the Democrats.
Similarly, Republicans who declare for
Cleveland do so on the open avowal
that they are for the free trade demanded
by Mr.. Cleveland and against protec-
tive tariff anyhow.

Indiana Belongs to Harrison.

The Democrats might as well give up
the fifteen electoral votes of the Hoosier
State now as later in the campaign, and
Cleveland will have to make a clean
sweep of the three doubtful states in
the East in order to be elected, even if
he should hold the South solid. There,
the tariff issue will do its work, and al
ready Harrison and Morton look like
easy winners IN the great national con-
test.

A Matter of Course.

It would not be out of place for Gen.
Harrison when he takes his seat in
March next, to nominate James G..
Blaine to be secretary of state. There
is not another man in this nation better

under the coming Republican admins
tration than the great Blaine, who for
the sake of party unity and success
declined the presidency.

sons campaign in number of his speeches
or the number of visiting delegations from
outside points. From the register of the
local bureau of the Associated Press it is
ascertained that General Harrison made
seventy nine speeches to visiting delega-
tons including his speeches at Toledo,
Put-in-Bay, Fort Wayne and Clayton.
This, however, does not in
clude short talks at railway
stations, nor the many brief and inn
promptu talks to small companies in the
parlors of his residence. If addresses of
this character were included as speeches
the aggregate would be about liz. His
speeches will make a good sized book.
He received 10 delegations from points
outside OF Marion county. Sometimes
three and four delegations would be ad-
dressed at the same meeting. The total
number of people comprising these dele
cations and including the large gatherings
he received and addressed while on his trip
to Middle Bass and Clayton is conserva-
lively estimated at two hundred thousand,
of which number it is calculated he shook
hands with not less than so 900 to 100000.
The figures do not include the 10000
visitors present on the day Blaine spoke
there, nor are the home crowds taken into
the enumeration except when they were
addressed. Neither does this summary in
clude the number of individuals or parties
that called daily at his residence and were
received by both the general and his wife,
as goodly proportion of these callers
were members of some visiting delegation.
1t might be added that all of General Har-
rlson's seventy nine speeches excepting
two were delivered xtemporaneously
without aid of a single note, and neither
OF the two prepared speeches were COM
plete.
