terested spectators Of the event. w.
NicDaniels, local prominent member
of the typographical union, presided,
and in his address, among other things,
said: Eve are here to repudiate the
authority claimed by n few professional
men to speak for the wage workers Of
Indiana, to deny the truthfulness OF
their statements, and to contradict the
assertion that there is other than the
kindliest feeling among the working;
men OF Indiana toward Gen. Harrison"
Cheers
AS the General arose to respond there
was another demonstration. He spoke
with great earnestness, surprising, Il
possible, his previous speeches. He said
in part:
My friends-1 have seen during this
busy summer many earnest and demon'
strative assemblages Of my fcllow-citi-
CAMPAIGN sLANDER NAILED.
Early in this campaign certain people,
claiming to speak for the laboring men,
but really in the employ Of the Demo-
cratic campaign managers, promulgated
through the newspapers 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, number of false and scandal
GUS stories relating to my attitude to-
wards organized labor. [Great and
prolonged cheeringl The purpose OF
all these stories was to poison
theG minds OF the working
men against the candidate OF the
party that stands in this campaign for
the principles Of Protection to Ameri-
can labor. [Great cheeringl ! have
only once in all Of the addresses | have
made to my fellow citizens alluded to
these malicious and scandalous stories,
but now, in the presence OF this great
body of workingmen, | do pronounce
them utterly false. [Tumultuous cheer
ing, waving of flags and banners con-
tinued for several minutes. The story
that ever said one dollar a day was
enough for workingman with all its
accompaniments and appendages Ia
Yoice-"I knew it was lie"1 is not
perversion OF anything ever said-it is
a false creation. Enthusiastic cheer.

woRRINGMEN FOR PROTECTION.
will not follow in detail this long
catalogue OF campaign ISLANDERS, but will
only add that it is equally false that
any where or at any time | ever spoke
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.
[Cheers. want to say again that those
who pitch u campaign on so low u level
greatly underestimate the intelligence,
the sense OF decency and the love OF fair
play of the American people. Pro.
longed cheeringl l said to one OF the
first delegations that visited me thatthis
was contest OF great principles; that it
would be fought out upon the high |
planes OF truth, and not in the swamps |
randdeiamation. Great cheer
ing.l Those who will cncamp their
army in the swamp will abandon the |
victory to the army that is on the heights.
[Cheers.
The Republican party stands to-day us
the hulwark aud defense OF the wage
workers OF this country against compe-
tition which may reduce American
wages even below the standard they
falsely impute to my suggestion.
Cheers. General Harrison closed his
speech with brief dissertation on tariff.
After Gen. Harrison's departure, Sem
ator Blair delivered a long address on
the subject OF labor and education. In |
the evening he and Major Mckinley
and Senator spooncr were the guests Of
Gen. Harrison at tea.
Among Mrs. Harrison's callers to-day !
was Mrs. Thomas A. Hendricks, widow
Of the late Vice President.
