rtSOn'S callers.
INDIANAPOLIS, September 29.-The first
of the several visiting delegations to ar
rive to-day came from Cleveland, Ohio,
between SIX and seven hundred strong.
Although small in number, it was the
best uniformed and one of the finest
looking delegations of the hundreds that
have visited Gen. Harrison. 1t COM
prised two hundred veterans, commanded
by Gen. James G. Barnett. They were
known as the Harrison boys in blue"
and wore the historical cape coats Of 1861.
The Central German Club, two hundred
in number; John A. Logan Club; Har-
rison and Morton Club, and Fremont
Guards completed the handsome dele
cation. The Fremont Guards wore strik-
ing blue continental uniforms. Each
carried log cabin torch, being a nina
ture house constructed of colored glass.
The Harrison and Morton Club carried
large battle-axes with "H" inscribed on
the blade. Among the prominent gen.
tlemen accompanying the delegation were
Hon. Amos Townsend and Gen. Ed.
Myers.
At noon delegation of 200 students
from the State Normal School at Normal,
ILL.,, arrived. There were seventy young
ladies in the delegation, wearing jaunty
felt hats of all colors, and on the one
shoulder rosette of red, white and blue
ribbons, on the other handsome badge.
The delegations arrived at noon and
marched to University Park. General
Harrison's appearance was greeted by a
storm of cheers. General Harrison ad-
dressed the visitors af some length.
The delegation from Chicago did not
arrive until o'clock. They numbered
about 1000 voters. The organizations
represented were the Veterans Club of
1910, fifty members; John A. Logan
Club, Twelfth Ward Republican Club,
Italian Republican Club, and the Second
Regiment Band of forty pieces. They
were met at the depot by the vet
Grams of the Harrison and Morton
Regiment Of Indianapolis and 200 uni
formed members of the Columbia Club,
with half dozen drum corps and bands
OF all the numerous delegations that
have visited the city, perhaps none were
honored with larger or more enthusiastic
escorts. The streets along the route
were lined with enthusiastic spectators.
At University Park large crowd, includ-
ing many of the Cleveland visitors,
awaited them. Just before reaching the
park the home escort clubs opened
ranks, and as the Chicago boys marched
through, cheering, the scene was most
animating. Judge John w. Green, in
the absence of Mayor Roache, delivered
a congratulatory address on behalf of the
delegation at large, followed by DR.. D.
A. Smith, who spoke for the Tippecanoe
veteran. After the cheering had SUBJ
sided Gen. Harrison made response.
AS General Harrison was proceeding
homeward and reached the corner Of
University Park and Fremont street, he
encountered his third and
last delegation of the day. Thirty little
girls ranging from four to twelve years,
each arrayed in a handsome uniform
OF red, white and blue, were drawn up
in military line on the sidewalk. AS the
General approached, little Annie l.
Dynes, their captain, addressing him
said: General Harrison, I take pleas
ure in introducing to you these children
Of the South Side, whose parents are
and women, and who desire
the success of the Republican party, the
true friend of the working men, women
and children, everywhere" Then they
gave three cheers for General Harrison,
who responded briefly to this unique
delegation.
