INDIANAPOLIS, INu,, Oct, 2,-General
Harrison this morning entered upon his
fourteenth week of public receptions
and speeches. The first delegation Of
the week to put in an appearance ar
rived about o'clock, 1t wOs small
but enthusiastic band OF thirty-Gve Re-
publicans, but they came long distance
from the town of Tower, Mimi, several
OF the party being from Duluth. The
organization is known rs the Tower
Minnesota Republican club, and all
were interested in the development Of
the great iron interests OF that section.
In one Of their special cars they car
ried couple Of tons Of small samples Of
rich Vermillion range iron ore. Each
sample was tied to label, and at every
town along the route from Blizzard a
large number Of those specimens were
thrown out. At II o'clock this morning
they walked out to Gen. Harrison's res
idenCe, preceded by dray bearing IL
huge specimen Of ore weighing over 500
pounds. This was placed in the Generals
front yard.
They were cordially received in the
parlors by both General and Mrs. Harri-
son. DIR. Fred. Barrett, editor OF the
Vermillion Iron Journal, introduced each
member. There was no speech making.
Fairly in the afternoon large delega-
tion from Fulton county arrived. 4
The delegations from Fulton and Mar
shall counties came on together, and
numbered between 700 and 1000. The
weather continuing cool, outdoor recep-
tions in University Park or elsewhere
have been abandoned. The delegations
were accordingly escorted TO Plailiin's
Hall on Pennsylvania avenue. W. &.
Essick, of Fulton county, and II, q.
Thayer, Of Marshall, were spOkeSmen
for the visitors.
Gen. Harrison was looking refreshed
and hearty, though suffering from an
other severe cold in the head, which he
took Saturday evening while addressing
the Chicago visitors. He has perhaps
lost few pounds in weight since lis
nomination, but lis general health con-
tinues excellent. His political theme
to-day was the tariff, and its relation to
wages.
At the conclusion the visitors filed in
and shook hands with the General.
Col. D. S. Alexander, OF Buffalo, who
acted ms General HarriSon's Secretary in
the earlier weeks OF the campaign, has
returned and is temporarily assisting
Mr.. Miller with the Generals CORES
pondence. There is strong probability
that Hon. Levi 2. Morton will be one OF
the distinguished visitors to arrive ut
indianapolis on the lGth inst. It is un-
dcrstood he promised several weeks ago
to visit Indiana during the campaign,
and that he will, il possible, make it
convenient to be here, the same day that
Senator John Sherman, Mr.. Blaine,
General AlGGr, Governors OgICsby and
Foraker General Gibson and others are
expected,
General Hovey and Corporal Tanner
spoke tonight nj MartinsyiIe. Senator
Turpie spoke at Knox. Political meet
ings at all points in the State, both Dem
ocratic and Republican, are being more
largely attended than in any previous
campjign in the history OF Indiana.
Perhaps no speaker in the State, unless
it is Tanner, Is addressing more people
and larger crowds than Colonel MatsOn,
the Democratic candidate for Governor.
