| Democracy of Indianapolis tonight
| formally lnagurated what bids fair to be
the most memorable political campaign
in the history of Indiana. Early in the
evening the numerous Cleveland and
Thurman clubs, about twenty-five in
number, began TO congregate on Ten
nesSee street, in the vicinity of the
capitol with their banners and transpar-
encies. About s o'clock the procession
began to move, parading the principal
business streets of the city with great
enthusiasm. The sidewalks on Penn
sylvania, Delaware, Market and other
streets were thronged with spectators.
Good judges estimate that between 1000
and 5000 men were in line. They car
ried about forty Illuminated tranSpar-
encies and banners bearing some 100
different inscriptions, among which
were the following:
'Cleveland and Thurman-The peo-
pies candidates. Blue blood and
boodle-Harrison and Norton" "Grand-
Papa's pants won't fit Bennie." 1.-THE
Germans are solid againt Harrison"
Harrison and free whisky; Morton
and DOODLE" The Chinese must
go-Thurman; the Chinese must come
Harrison" sTobaccO is necessitv," J.
g. Blaine. "What about bankets?,'
Il am opposed to free whisky, j. G.
Blaine in Florence letter. Free
whisky would destroy high license in
the states at once, j. q. Blaine in
Florence letter.. Quite number of the
| inscriptions had reference to local po-
| litical issues.
1t was after 9 o'clock when the pro-
ccssion entered Tomlinson hall, the
| largest auditorium in the city. Three
large American flags were suspended
full width above the stage, while i'm
| mediately above the speakers stand
was full lenghth
PICTURE OF PRESIDENT CLEVELAND,
f1anked by pictures of Thurman.
Across the stage was suspended large
banner inscribed in,the center: ''CleYe-
land and Thurman, the peoples
| choice" Among the dozen other con-
| splcuous banners in the hall were the
| following: Republican platform
state pride, free whisky and high
taxes Indiana will give Cleveland
| and Thurman $1,000 majority" ''Har-
rison voted fourteen times in favor
of Chinese immigration" ''Cleve-
lands fidelity in the past inspires
faith in the FUTURE Harrison
proposed bullets for workingmen in
'77-workingmen will prepare ballots
| for Harrison in 'SS. The audience
numbered about 1000, among whom
were large number of ladies in the
| galleries. Hon. William III. English
presided and read long opening adj
dress Oh the candidates and issues of
the day. He said Judge Thurman's
| nomination under the circumstances
was not in the slightest degree reflec-
ton upon the other gentlemen who had
been mentioned for the position: that
| his nomination was cheerfuily acqui-
| esced in by Gov. Gray, whose prompt
telegram of congratulation to the Old
Roman was graceful and honorable, and
| his whole bearing shows, as the bows
| would say, that ''he's all right" and
| that there are
NO FLIES ON GRAY.
Referring to the citizens of Indiana,
| who had been nominated on the Demo-
cratic national tickets, Mr.. English
| said: The truth is neither Wings, Re-
| publicanS or Democrats ever placed a
native lndianian on the presidential
| ticket, except in 1SS0-then the Demo-
Gratis did have a genuine, full.blooded,
| all wool and a yard wide Hoosier on
their ticket" About this juncture, the
| audience began calling loudly for Gov.
| Gray, and, as a consequence, Mr..
| English announced that he would cur
tail his remarks somewhat and proceed
to discuss the candidacy of Gen. Harri-
son, against whom he declared he had
nothing to say personally and who had
some traits of character that the speaker
admired. Being again interrupted by
prolonged calls for Gov. Gray, the chair
| 1,Dr Id n,,1
| stepped forward, amid a storm of APP
| plause. The ovation to the governor
continued several minutes and it was 10
o'clock when he began his impromptu
speech, only a synopsis of which is here
given:
| Erhe Republicans say they are going to
| inaugurate a campaign like that of 1910
that is too old. The Democrats are
| going to inaugurate a campaign like
that of 1884. [Cheers.] l am gratified
to see such an 0utpouring of the Democ-
racy of indianapolis ratifying the work
of the Democratic national convention.
Prolonged cheers.l That convention
nominated by reclamation Grover Cleve-
| risk my reputation as political
| prophet that he will be elected. Cleve-
| lands name is
| THE SYNONYM OF STRENGTH
and Thurman'S of craftsmanship and
political integrity. If the Democratic
party cannot elect that ticket upon the
platform on which they stand, it never
can elect any ticket. 1t proclaims the
same principles in every state Of the
union. The Democracy will take chead
fuel, cheap lumber, cheap blankets and
clothes--the Republicans may take their
| free whisky and tobacco. Loud cheers.
The Republicans of 1884 made a feeble
! attempt to cut loose from the mo-
nopolies and syndicates of the country
upon whose support it had ALWAYS
| trusted, but at the Chicago convention
| the party handed itself over again to the
monopolistic power by promising not to
modest the present tariff. The governor
promised that when the state ticket was
nominated me would try to show why
| the Democratic faith should prevail. He
warned his audience not to underesti-
| mate the magnitude of the struggle that
was upon them, declaring that it was
| the old fight of the people, led by
led by the Republican party. He
closed by earnestly eujoining the DEM
Ocrats to organize and bring out every
vote and see to it that no fraudulent
| ballots were cast: that all the Demo
Gratis of Indiana asked was fair cleo
ton, that if they have that Indiana in
| November would be seen occupying her
proper place in the ranks of
the Democratic states. The governor
was loudly cheered as he retired. The
next speaker was ex-senator Joseph E.
Mcdonald. who stated that owing to
the lateness of the hour he would alb
breviate his speech. Referring to Gen.
| Harrison, the speaker said he was a
man against whom, of course, no one
would say anything except as to his
politics. When the Republicans held a
| ratification meeting, lust after Harri-
