In Indiana the campaign was even more
exciting, if possible, thaP in Ohio. There
was grand rally, Win barbecues and
other rural pleasures, at the Tippecanoe bat
tie ground, which eclipsed any gathering
previously known in the west. Men came in
canoes from the very head Of tho Wabash
and from all sections, by river, stage"and
farm wagon. The state recalled tho fact
that nearly all her territory was acquired
from the Miannies by Gen. Harrison, and
that he was her chief helper IN her early days,
and gave him an enormous majority.
But these two states were only the begin
ners Of wonderful campaign; all the others
followed, and, If possible, outdid their ex-
emplars In New York the popular excite
ment was wonderful A log cabin stood for
weeks in one of her moot public squares; log
cabins and miniature ships of war were
hauled in every public procession; dozens Of
medals were struck representing scenes in the
life of the old hero, and many OF those may
still be found in the cabinets Of coin collect
ors. Journals were published with orna-
mental borders of cabins and coonskins, and
every Wing voter proudly wore the emblems
of Zip. and Tyler" The staid Yankee
was even more enthusiastic than the west
erner and southerner, and in every section Of
the country it was year long to be remem-
bered.
Again the spirit Of 1910 is abroad Let
tho descendants of Chios and Indiana's
pioneers, who know the valor and virtues Of
the grandson, see that the red bandanna is
outwaved by the American flag and victory

The result of the final ballot in the Repub-

caused musty package Of old papers, whose

this proof by securing the accused woman's

The deafening cheers which the sight Of

arouses die away into a subdued murmur,
while Gen Washington's empty saddle, with
its trappings of scarlet velvet and silver
fringe, is borne by on spotless white horse,
led by one Of the life guards of the father Of
his country.
Gen Harrison, when parting from regi-
ment of his soldiers after the Indian war,
said: Gentlemen, if you ever come to Vim
cennes you will always find plate, knife
and fork at my table, and 1 assure you that
you will never find my door Shut or the
string of the latch pulled in" A clever poet
at Cleveland turned this speech into roll

hoga sang Is they passed in gayly rugged
