Republican Rally at Fremont.

FREMONT, Ncb., Sept. 27.- Special to THE
BEE. The first republican rally of this cam
paign was held in Fremont last night under
the auspices of the Fremont republican club
The meeting was preceded by street parade
by the Harrison guards. The meeting was
held at republican headquarters, which is the
old opera house, it having been draped with
flags and bunting in such artistic manner as
TO elicit many encomiums from the audience
The first speaker of the evening was Hon
John II. Gathers, of Omaha, who delivered a
sound and sensible address about one hour in
length i'll which he compared the two parties
IN such way as to make the democrats
ashamed of themselves. Hon. I.W. Lansing,
OF Lincoln, then took the audience in hand
and delivered one of the best political
speeches ever heard in this city. His remarks
were brim full of pith, wit and facts in happy
proportions and he marshalled his arguments
like an old general. The audience greeted
him with round after round OF applause
The rally was n tonic for the numerous re-
publlcans in this vicinity

Harrison delegations.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 2,.-General Harri-
sons visitors to-day came from Ohio Delega
tions came from Hancock and Allen counties
and numbered several hundred. They brought
six bands with them. Fifty Tippecanoe vet
Grams accompanied the delegations, also 100
uniformed members Of the Harrison and
Morton battalion Of Lima. General Harri-
son mounted the platform in University park
amid hearty cheers. He was looking re-
freshed and spoke with his accustomed vigor,
touching upon wages tariff and pauper labor.
Among General Harrison's callers this af-
ternoon were number of prominent citizens
OF Bloomington, ILL.,, who brought an invita-
tion urging the general to attend their big
rally to be held October 20. II is improbable,
however, in view of his other declinations,
that General Harrison will leave the state
during the campaign. Tonight number of
Pennsylvania gas men, who are in the city
on business, accompanied by delegation of
local gas men and plumbers, called on Gen
eral Harrison at his residence.

touching the Irish question. Davitt, speak.
ing at meeting at Acerington, said he had
received censure from all parts of the king
dom on account of his recent criticism of the
liberals, but from nobody had he received
stronger censure than from Parnell, who in
a private interview had said that as the lib
erals had agreed to include the Irish land
question in home-rule scheme, it was un-
fair to upbrad them for Indifference regard
ing evictions. He admitted the fairness of
Parnells attitude, but nevertheless thought
the explanation failed to justify the apathy
shown by the liberal party

BEBLrN, Sept. 27.-[Special Cablegram to
TIE BEE. Prince Bismarck made an ad-
dress on Saturday at the harvest festival at
Schonan. He congratulated the people upon
the results of the harvest after the bad win
ter and wet summer Referring to the
deaths in the royal family, he said
"The gloomy days have given way to
bright sunshine. We can look with pride
upon the present emperor. He is every inch
a soldier and will fight bravely if Germany
should ever be attacked. But he loves his
subjects too much not to do his utmost to
preserve peace. Those among you who were
with me in France in 1870 know what har-
vest home can be when an enemy is at hand.
There is little left then for the tiller of the
soil. Let us, therefore, to-day think of our
emperor and give him laundering "Hoch
unser kaiser; lebe hoch."

manned for some time chatting pleasantly

concerning the conduct of King Louis of Ba-

sought in the story about the granting of the
formal offer of imperial dignity to King Will

order of July 10 for a mobilization of the
Prussian army had been issued King Louis
then cut short discussions of the Bavarian
ministers by brief order to mobilize his
