tiOn during t"' ""'i
.io .",, y, check on the tremendous racket
:" which the city has been subjected the
,sttwo days aud nights, and also pre-
rnn,ed delegations Of citizens calling at
,Lo Harrison homestead to congratulate
,ho General on his nomination. 1t had
%oor arranged that large body oi
",.rpiou soldiers should pay him
coIl this evening, but the weather
r,s so unpropitious that the un-
Je,tokipg was abandoned. There is no
Iiminu,ion in the number ofcalls from
un.Soual ] friends and acQuaintances, and
iHs Generals mail is something enor-
',orS @ while the flood OF congratulatOry
taS""r,,ns % continue to flow. Among the
.eicsrnm. received tonight was one
S,oG thc chairman OF ratification
'ns",inc which was being held in Los
Angeles. California, in which the writer
stated that the assembIage was the lar:
% ,"st and most enthusiastic gathering OF
Eepublcans ever gathered together in
that city. u- c..,
# wis expected that the General
ronlL attend the Fremont reception to
%s held at Danville, Hendricks county,
,o,morrnw, but the pressure upon his
inns il so great that he has been reluct-
Sntv compelled to cancel his engage
menI.
STARS AND STRIPES EVERYWHERE.
The national red, white and blue,
which has 50 suddenly been flung to the
breeze Us the standard Of loyal Republic
copism in answer to the red bandanna-
Inc snuiE.rag OF COpperhead Democracy
is everywhere. 1t adorns the window.
Lodges, doors and cornices of about all
the business buildings and, moreover, it
makes little difference whether those
buildings are owned by Republicans
or Democrats. The signal flies in
.ach case, OF rejoicing over the honor
IOne their ieiiow-townsman, who has
lived among them in ever-increaslng
honor for thirty.four years. Bunting
flames OH almost every house front, and
lacked on the porchcs between the front
parlor windows there is almost certain
10 be lithograph OF sturdy, steadfast,
big.bcarded, deep.eyed, earnest Ben
Harrison. Every teamster's horses carry
aaps on their collars, every small boy
wears flag in his hat, while
he persistentiy toOts n tin horn.
Flags line the restaurants, the hotel
dining rooms and even the hotel eleva-
to-s. The bills Of fare in the hotels are
prin ted on red card board, and abound
In svch delicacies as Harrison and
Morton pudding" Harrison cake"
md "Har risOn ice cream" The colored
man pushes lawn mower, be-
decked with flags to and fro across the
grass before his employers flag-be-
decked house. The hack drivers
with A sublime confidence that who
ever comes to indianapolis now must
be a Republican, have stuck flags over
their horses ears and penned pictures
Of Harrison over their printed rates OF
fare, The street cars are covered with
flags and the car conductor hides his
bell punch beneath the tri.colors. Here
and there you will see horse blanketed
with red, white and blue and with his
legs swathed to his hoofs in the same
colOr. Inshort, from the time the visitors
train comes to n halt in the station until
he vainly seeks repose in the noisy
night the blare OF horns, the music OF
bands, the singing OF choruses by glee
clubs, the cheers OF thousands all assail
his ears, while his eyes can nowhere
escape the universal flags.
Not content with the limited power
Of his lungs, there is one young man on
the street tonight who has hitched a
bellows, worked by a fOot-treadle, to q
tin horn, and he outblasts all the blasters
for squares around.
CONTINUOUS TIN-HoRS SALUTE.
The town is apparently inspired with
but one ide.v-to vent in all the uproar
possible its pride in the nomination of
its most honored citizen. The iavorite
instrument Of noise is the tin-horn. So
many thousands Of them are blowing at
once that the effect is one
long overpowering note OF unvary'
ing intensity. That note has
lasted all day and bids fair to last ati
night, for Us soon us one pair OF lungs
become weary, there are others to take
up the discorlant pGan Of enthusiasm.
Add to this the occasional outburst OF
passing bands Of music, the shrill notes
Of flies, the beat OF drums and the con-
tinuous boom OF cannon, and it may be
imagined that the welkin fairly rings
and not only does it ring, but it glows
in every quarter with the reflection oi
the Illuminated city.
The unanimity with which the resi-
dents here hull the nomination OF Cen
eral Harrison is remarkable. Democrats
are apparently as proud OF him, rs u
man, As are Republicans. Scores oi
them are quoted in the local newspapers
as declaring that they will vote for him.
Even grave and reverend ministers oi
the gospel for once gave way to theiI
feelings and allowed themselves to in
dutge in various enthusiastic demon
STATIONS. Rev. NJ. l.. Haines was in
the office Of General Harrison yester.
day afternoon and was the third
person to congratulate him. Rev. Mr.
Hunter, pastor Of the South Preshyte
rian Church, has been blowing tir
horn rs il his very life depended on the
amount Of noise that he made. The no
tiOn dealers had a big trade in horns anC
badges. The wholesale dealers did
lively business with the small boys, wht
borrowed enough money to pnrchas'
two dozen horns and then they peddlet
them on the streets and made as mucl
noise us possible.
A MODEST HONE INVADED.
Up on Delaware street.. some hal
dtNzsu blocks from the business part o
the ,city, there stands the house whicl
is now the central point OF interest OF al
Indianap oils, of all Indiana and of til
whole coun try. Itisnow strange spec
tacle, this hoi use Of plain red bricl
The picket ien,'e in front bids fair I
disappear before ti!e onsaughts Of Ielis
hunters. The gate iSas been hung bSe
on its hinges, until it is wide open. IN n
lawn on either side Of the ample wall
leading straight from the street to tn
front door, is tramplsd. Thre
photographers were taking Plc
ures Of the house at once, IN
afternoon. Several others had n
Valed the interior and were photograph
