MAILING CAMPAIGN ISLANDER. General Harrison,s Vigorous ddress 50 American W0rkfnGmeR-He is ths Friend of Organised Labor and He Refutea the DOllar-a-Day Campaign L1e.
 INDIANAPOLIS. Got. 25.-The workingmen of this city held grand demonstration in honor of their illustrious townsman, who
 will soon become President-elect of the Unit ed state The Evening News says there were three thousand men in line, while another estimate puts it ct 1, 900 to 5000. After the marching the speaking took place in Tomlin- sons Hall, which was filled to overfowtng. The delegations brought in their flags and as General Harrison appeared, accompanied by ex-Secretary Litchman, the vast audience arose, and shaking their flags and hats cheered frantioally for full five minutes. L. W. McDaniels, a locally prom in ent member of the Typographical union, introduced Gen. eral Harrison with brief speech, and as he arose there was another demonstration.
 BELIEVES IN ORGANIZED LABOR.
 MT. Harrison said: 'Nr. McDaniels and my friends -I have seen during this busy summer many earnest and demonstrative aa- semblages of my fsllow citizens. have list ened to many addresses full of the kindest expressions towards me personally; ;but among them all, none have been more grateful to me, none have more deeply impressed me than this great assemblage of the workingmen of Indiana, and these kind words which have been addressed to me in your behalf. (Great cheering). There are reasons why this should be so that will readily occur to your minds and to some of which MT. McDaniels has al- -l-- s~,A 1,s oinrN ali pie, claiming to speak for the laboring men, but really in the employ of the Democratic managers, promulgated through the news- papers and by campaign publications, that were not given the open endorsement of the Democratic campaign managers, but were paid for by their funds and circulated under their auspices, 6 number of false and scandalous stories relating to my attitude towards organized labor. (Great and pro- longed cheering) The purpose of all these stories was to poison the minds of the work ingmen against the candidate of the party that stands in this campaign for the princi- pls of protection to American labor. Great cheering.1 have only once in all of the ad- dresses have made to my fellow-c citizens alluded to these malicious and scandalous stories; but now and in the presence of this great gathering of workingmen, do pro. nounce them to be utterly false. [Cheering, waving of flags and banners, continued for several minutes.
 AN INFAMOUS CAMPAIGN LIE.
 The story that ever said thar one dollar day was enough for workingman, with ali it's aecompaniments and appendages-(A voice, q knew 1t was he'1-is not per- version of anything I said; it Is false crea- tion (Enthuaiastic cheerfnG) I will not follow in detail this long catalogue of cam paign islanders, but will only add that 1t is e-r- AI-k kl~ T 0Ira aginply of my fellow citizens of Irish nativi- tY or descent. Many of them are now en- rolling themselves on the side of the protec- ton of American labor-this created the ne- cessity for the story. (Cheering) wantto say again, that those who pitch a camp upon so low level greatly under-sstimate the in
 tellieence, the sense of decenoy and the law of fair play of the American people. (Pro- lon9ed cheering1 said to one of the first delegations that visited me this was contest of great principles; that 1t would be fought out upon the high plains of truth, and not in the swanps of islander and defat1on. (Cheers) The Republican party stands to-day as the bulwark and defense of the wage-earners of this country against Q competition which may reduce American wages even below the standard which the salse reports impute to my suggestion. (Cheers.)
 FREE TRADE MEANS LOWER WAGES.
 There are two very plain facts that have often urged and others have nave stated them more foroibly than I, that 1t seems to me should be conclusive with the the wage earuers of America. The policy of the Dem ocratio party-the revision of our tariff laws as indicated by the Democratic party, tariff for revenue only, or progressive free trade-means 6 vast and sudden increase of importatlons. Prolonged cheers) Is there man here so dull as not to know that this means diminished work in our Ameri- can shopsi Cheers and cries of "No, no. y If someone says that labor is not fully em- ployed now, do you hope it will be more fully employed when you have transferred one-third of the work done in our shops to foreign shopsi (Criss of "No.'D If someone tells me that labor Is not sufficiently rewarded here does he hope to have it's rewards in- creased by striking down our protective duties and compelling our workmen to com- pete with the under-paid labor of Europe. I conclude by saying that less work and lower wages are in the inevitable result of the ! triumph of the principles advocated by the Democratic party. (Cheers)
 General Harrison again thanked his audi dience and then left the hall amid snthusias- tic cheering. Senator Blair, of New Hamp- | shire, then spoke on labor and education. MIR ELAINE ON THE LETTER.
