resenting all ayocations, We're received by
Gen. Harrison iii the parlors of the New
Denison hotel. The Kokomo glee club
sang, and after that Father Rayburn, n
voter of 1910, and more than four score
yeass old, made a speech, expressing the
congratulations of the party. TO this
Gen. Harrison responded as follows;

tion Is evidence that the action of the
Republican convention at Chicago has
been accepted with resignation by the
Republicans OF Howard county. Loud

thank you again for this kindly visit and
beg you to excuse any more extended re-
marks, and to give me now an opportu-
nifty of thanking each of you personally
for the kind things your chairman has
said in my behalf. y
At the close Of the speech the usual
handshaking and personal congratula-
lions followed.
Hereafter all delegations desiring to pay
their respects to the General are request
ed to communicate with the HonJ. N.
Huston, chairman of the state central
committee. This course is to be pursued
because the visitors and requests for
dates have become so numerous that they
alone would occupy all the Generals
time. He has yet had no time to think
about his letter of acceptance and he de-
sires within the next week to devote all
the time possible to that document.
