ment of yesterday, caused by the

night, resumed early this morning and
has continued all day. The streets
have been thronged with people, most
of them wearing Harrison badges of

special artists were there taking views
of the residence and surroundings.

numerous illustrated papers. The auto
graph seeker was on hand and the relic
hunter made good beginning at
chipping the front fence. An electric
light company is putting up some arc
lights Oh the lawn, and the local COM
mittee is preparing portable platform
for use in the vicinity should there be
occasion for Speech-making. All these
indications are held by the local Repub-
lican population to

were ablaze with natural gas illumina-

Comrades: Called as have been by
the national convention of one of the
great political parties of the country to
be its candidate for the presidency,
it will probably be my for
tune before the election to re-
ceive many delegations representing
various interests and classes of our fel-
low-citiZens, but l am sure that out of
them all there will come none whose
coming will touch my heart so deeply as
this visit from my comrades of the Sew
entieth Indiana, and these scattered
members of the other regiments that
constituted the first brigade of the
Third division of the Twentieth army
corps; l recall the scenes to which Mai.
Grubbs had alluded. l remember that
summer day when, equipped and armed,
we were called to leave our homes and
cross the Ohio river and enter the terri
tory that was in
ARMS AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT
which we had swoIn to support; l recall
wringing of hearts with which we left
buoyant determination, the resolute
carriage with which you went to do
your part in the work of suppress
ing the great rebellion. l remem-
Der the scenes through which
we went in that hard discipline
of service and sickness, and all of those
hard incidents which are necessary to
convert citizens into veterans. l re-
member the scenes of battle in which
we stood together. l remember eS-
pecially that broad and deep grave at
the foot of the Resaca hill, where we
