INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 14.-After
five days partial cessation the reception
of large visiting delegations was re-
sumed by Gen. Harrison. In point OF
numbers and enthusiasm the demon
stration to-day was one of the most
memorable since the day of Gen. Harri-
sons nomination, between 5000 and
1000 visitors participating. The first
delegation to arrive came from Mobiles
Vile. Millersburg, Arcadia, New Brit
ain and other points in Hamilton coun-
ty, Indiana, and numbered about 5000.
Three excursion trains brought
the visitors to the outskirts OF
the city, where they united and
were received at the depot by
local committee headed by Gen. Foster.
The march to University Park was
quite imposing. In the procession were
nine Lincoln leagues and four bands.
At the head of the column marched
Tmpecanoe club of eighty-three veter
ans, carrying before them llfe-SlZed
portrait of Gen. Benjamin HARRISON,
set in frame work OF flags, and on the
reverse side were the words: ''Protec-
L
Union" Conspicuous i'll the forefront
of the procession marched Capt. Cart.
of Arcadia, a HoOSier giant, measuring
six feet. seven and half inches, and
dressed in the
TYPICAL GARB OF UNCLE SAM,
red, white and blue throughout, with
white plug hat, and carrying big sign
board Oh a pole, reading. '1SS7-IhlS is
the length of our majority" on the re-
verse, ''The eagle and the flag against
the rooster and the rag" Among few

retrogression, riot and ruin"
The column reached University park
about noon. Hon. J. K. Gray, of No
blesville, was spokesman for the visit
ors. In responding to Col. Gray'S warm
address, Gen. Harrison briefly dis
cuSSed the beneficial results OF Ameri-
can home influences. He spoke as fol-
lows:
col. GRAY any my Hamilton county friends
The demonstration which you have made
this morning is worthy of Hamilton county.
1t is worthy of the great party To which you
have given the consent of your minds and
the love of your hearts; ii is altogether more
than worthy OF him whom you have come to
greet. You come from county that, as
your spokesman has said, is greatly favored,
a county rich in its its agricultural
faces this morning, l turn from the
contem plation of moral wealth to the thought
of these things that are higher and better.
Not long ago distinguished Engllshman
and jurist visited our country. On the eve of
his return, in public address, he alluded to
the fact that wherever he went he was asked
whether he was not amazed at the great size
of our country. This student OF law and gov
eminent very kindly, but very decidedly, re-
buked this
Too-PREvALENT PRIDE OF BULK
and called cur attention to the finer and
higher things that he had observed in our
American civilization. So, to-day, as / look
into these intelligent faces, my thoughts are
turned away from those things that are
scheduled, that have their places in our cen
sus returns, to those things which belong to
the higher man-his spiritual and moral
nature | congratulate you, not so much
upon the rich farm lands of your county. as
unon your virtuous and happy homes
The home is the best as tits the first school OF
good citizenship. 1t is the great conserva-
tive and assimilating force. l should despair
for my country if American citizens were to
be trained only in our schools, valuable as
their instruction is. 1t is in the home that
we first learn obedience and respect for the
law Parental authority is the type of ben
efcent government. 1t is in the home that
we learn to love, i'll the mother that bore.

BY the beneficent homestead law it created
more than a half million OF homes; by the
emancipation proclamation it converted a
million cattle pens into homes. And it is
still true to those principles that will pre-
serve contenment and prosperity i'll our

nurtured in such homes, and call your
thoughts to the fact that the Republican

our people Now, in view of the fact that /
must greet other delegations to-day, l am
sure you will be content with these remarks,
though they altogether an inadequate re-
turn for your cordial demonstration.
While the crowd was shaking hands
with the general a glee club. from Ham
iton county, comprising eight young
ladies and four gentlemen, took the
platform and rendered dozen stirring
campaign songs, which aroused great
enthusiasm, participated in, apparently,
by Gen. Harrison, who shook hands
right and left with unusual vigOr.
Shortly after noon the delegations
from Illinois began to arrive. From
Tuscola and other points in Douglass
county came nineteen carloads of peo-
pie. A Notable feature OF their display
was the
OLD BATTLE-TATTERED FLAG
of the Twenty-irst Illinois regiment.
Gen. Grants original regiment. This
was the first flag for which Gen. Grant
issued requisition. The historic en-
blem was SO worn and filled with bullet
holes that it was necessary to keep it
folded about the staff. while marching.
1t was borne by seven veterans of the
Twenty-first Illinois. This delegation
also brought a Tippecanoe log cabin,
made of hickory limbs. Scrambling
about Its roof, were pair of coons. The
Douglas county delegation awaited the
arrival of the trains from Decatur.
ILL.,, which brought perhaps the larg-
est and finest looking delegation of the
day, from Macon county, Ill. AT their
head marched Captain Strange, with
800 members of the Young Mems Re-
publican club, of Decatur. They wore
uniforms of white linen coats, black
plug hats, red, White and blue neckties.
and each member carried red, white
and blue umbrella, swinging them with
uniformity as they marched. As the
double column from Illinois moved ND
Pennsylvania avenue, the Grant vet
Grams on one side and the uniformed
young mems club on the other, the
DEMONSTRATIONS OF ENTHUSIASM
were very profuse, and the streets for
several squares were crowded with
spectators. Arriving at University
Park, about 3 o'clock, crowd of sew
eral hundred awaited them, swelling
the audience to nearly 1000, which is
the largest crowd yet received at any
one time.
