indianapolis, June 2G.-Thc uproar thai began
in indianapolis Yesterday continued to-day with
even greater volume of dstractng sound, and
everybody capable Of making noise seems to DC at
it, full blast. The scrceching, screaming, rafting,
booming dscord that has greeted the arriving dele
cations and filed the air all through the day is
really revelation in the possibilities OF tumuitu-
GUS din and racket but it is the voice OF the popu
lace wild with enthusiasm, and II promises TO con-
tinue until Hooscr throats and lungs unable to
make themselves heard in any kind OF noise Inc
city is decorated as 1t has never been decorated
before and the novel and grotcsquc styles that
the ovcrjoyed Hoosiers have fashioned out OF the
National coors to give evidence Of their extraor-
binary enthusiasm would arouse the envy Oh
Buffalo Bills' most gorgeous Indian. In fact
there is some reason for suspccng that the Ameri.
can flag is about the only thing in the way OF
clothing that large rortIJn of the Hoosicr popu-
lation is wearing lust now. Next TO the National
colors the most conspicuous things to the eye nre
the figures 544, which are written over everything
and everybody and the portraits Of General ilar-
rison above and beneath which are printed:
whats the matter with IIarrison??' and
" He's all right" This is also the refrain OF the
continuous hurrah.
The noise has been augmented by the arrival on

surrounding towns in Indiana and Illinois, VINO
