INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 25.-To-
day the wOrkingmen of this city and
state madea demonstration in honor of
Gen. Harrison. While the parade was
smaller than expected, it was a signifi-
cant affair, many of the manufacturers
closing their places to allow their men
to take part in it. Others gave permits
sion to their employees who wished to
march to attend the afternoon meeting
in Tomlinson hall. There were 1850
men in line representing factories in
various counties of the state. The
streets were thr0nged with spectators,
and especially about the new Deni-
son was the crowd dense. Here
the procession opened order and
Gen. Harrison, in an open carriage, was
driven through the line. He was
greeted with cheers from the first to the
last, to which were added the hurrahs
of the great crowd. At TOmlinsOn
hall there was an immense audience,
which. on Gen. Harrison'S appearance.
welcomed him with the NEST earnest
manifestation of pleasure. l.. w. Nc
Daniel, union printer. presided at this
meeting, and when be introduced the
general the applause was renewed.
The general
SPOKE WITH AN EMPHASIS
that gave to his utterances concerning
the campaign reports an additional
force. On this subject he said: early
in this campaign certain people, claim
ing to speak for the labOring man, but
really in the employ of the Democratic
campaign managers, promulgated
through the newspaper press, and by
campaign publications, that were not
given the open Endorsement of the
Democratic campaign managers, but
were paid for by their funds and circu-
lated under their auspices, a number of
false and Scandal0us stories relating to
my attitude towards organized
labor. The purpose of all these
stories was to poison the minds of the
workingmen against the candidate of
the party that stands in this campaign
for the principle of protection TO Ameri-
can labor. [ have only once, in all the
addresses L have made to my fellow
and scandalous stories; but now, and i'll
the presence of this great gathering of
workingmen, do pronounce them to be
utterly false. The story that | ever
SAID that one dollar a day was enough
for Workingman,sWith all its accom-
paniments and appendages, IS not a
perversion of anything | ever said.
IT'S A FALSE CREATION.
will not follow in detail this long
catalogue of campaign ISLANDERS, but
will only add that it is equally false that
anywhere, or at any time, | ever spoke
diSparagingly of my fellow citizens of
Irish nativity or descent. Many of
them are now enrolling themselves on
the side of the protection of American
labor. This created the necessity for
the story. | want to say again that
those who pitch a campaign upon so
low level greatly underestimate the
intelligence, the sense of decency and
the love of fair play of the American
people. | said to one of the first delega-
tons that visited me that this was
contest of great principles; that it
would be fought out on the
HIGH PLANE OF TRUTH,
and not in the sWamfs OF SANDER and
defamation. Those who will encamp
their army in swamp will abandon
the victory to the army that is on the
heights" Senator Blair, of New Hamp-
shire, then spoke an leur on the issues
of the campaign, the crowd dispensing
to reassemble in the evening, when
speeches were made by Maj. Mckinley,
Senator SpOoner, of Wisconsin. Charles
H. Litchman and others. There was an
overflow meeting, which Senator
SpOOner addressed.
