INDIANAPOLIS, November 10.-The
weather was unfa Iorable tonight for
the great ioli6cation meeting that was
advertised 10 take place early in the
day. A drizzling rain set in and con-
tinued until nightfall. The sidewalks
and streets were consequently deluged
with mud. and altogether it was the
most disagreesble day of the season.
In view of this untsvorable outlook
for an outdoor demonstration. the
committee having the affair in charge
early in the afternoon called meet
ING and postponed the jolifcation until
next Wednesday night. However, the
postponement by the committee was
too late 70 prevent the arrival OF
number Of delegations from CraW-
louisville, Clinton County, and several
small delegations from other places In
Indiana and Illinois.
THE DEMONSTRATION TONIGHT
tlsrefore, was a purely impromptu
local affair. General Harrison did not
come down town, the weather being
too Indictment, and early large crowds
began to cougregate on Pennsylvania
Avenue and Washington Street. ItWas
tue same motley looking crowd that
has filed the streets for the past four
DAYS, blowing their tin horns and ring
ing bells. As evening approached, they
were reinforced by several hundred out
of town Republicans, notably delega
ton from Charlottesville, which was
accompanied by five uniformed drum
corps. About o'clock the rain ceased
and people began gathering on Penn
sylvania Aven"e and around the new
Dennison, not knowing
y THE "BIG DEMONSTRATION
has been postponed. By s o'clock the
Jam was terrific, the sidewalks were
simply impossible, and far into the
muddy street the crowd surged back
and forth, making a tideous din with
their thousands of tin horns, drum
corps, torpedoes and lastly incessant
cheers. Within the new Dennison the
scene was a repetition of Thursday
night.
sks-ALL SORTS OF oUTLANDIsH GARBs
were to be sem; some wore Chinese
dolls on their breasts, others had their
plug hats covered with red flannel,
while not q few had paper log cabins
stretched over their hats giving them
most unique appearance. Many were
covered with little flags, while their
head gear rivaled a Sioux chiefs.
Others again wore red calico pants or
bright colored coats; anything to be
odd. When the Charlottesville drum
corps marched into the hotel at s
o'clock the excitement and enthu-
sissm reached its zenith. Men
CHEERED THEMSELVES HoARsE.
Korsemen dressed in fantastic garbs
with hats full of flags and coats chalked
with figures, wers plentiful. Following
this calvacade came band, then about
400 veterans who were also covered
with flags and pictures, and sky rock
cts, Roman candles, cannons and tor
pedoes in profusion greeted the process
sion as it passed down Pennsylvania
Avenue into l. arket Street. Following
the Veterans came nearly 1000 nom
descript, gorgeously arrayed in old
plug hats and brilliant suits, not two
men dressed alike, and many of them
shooting Roman candles. Perhaps the
best display was that of the students of
the Indiana DentslCollege.T They carried
a coffin, within which sat an upright
skeleton, with foot protruding. The
head of the skeleton was sWathed in
bandana, and the inscription on the
coEhn was, Free trade baby" The
students provoked storms of applause
as they marched through the great
crowds. Ano sher device that caught
the crowd was small coffin carried on
a pole and inscribed:
death TO THE RED BANDANA,"
and beneath, the words Good buy, oh
Grover, good bye" An express wagon
hauling a mammoth grandfathers' hat,
over three feet in diameter, painted
red, was loudly cheered. Some half
dozen drum corps were consolidated,
and behind them came an endless
mob of horn blowers, whose
object was to make as much
noise as possible. Many carried strings
of sleigh bells, others had hand bells
devils drums, horns ard hddles, and
their success vas questioned. They
marchsG through the city Tor TWO nours,
and at mid 4Ignt goOdly number OF
them were still on the street.
THE CONTINUOUS DIN
of the last four days has grown fear
, fully mono,onous to downtown resi-.
dents, and regular boarders at hotels
are leaving to escape the sffiictions. All
this time General Harrison sits quietly
in his library reading the news of the
day and chatting with an occasional
TREND who calls Among his callers
to-day We're General Wallace, Congress
man Henderson, Patrick Berry, of
Chicago, also John Devay, President
Joseph Z. Ryan, first vice president,
and Michael Bre!is, second Yice-presi-
dent OF the Anti-Cleveland aud Pro.

came expressly to congratulate tee gen
eral, and were cordially received.
