INDIANAPoLIs, IND, Nov. 9.-K the unex-
pected arrival of three out-of-town delega-
tions is any indication of what he may expect,
then Gen. Harrison, now that he is the Presi-
deDt-elect is about to experience the repet!-
ton Of the visitation OF out-of-town clubs and
delegations, such as followed his nomination
end continued steadily until the last week of
the campaign. 1t may Seem u little curious TO
the public that an out-of-town delegation from
Danville should be the first organization TO for
maliy congratulate the general IN person.
This is easily explained when II is understood
that Gen. Harrison made known his wishes to
his home friends that they kindly forbear
for few days from any demon
strations ut his residence. His wishes have
been scrupulously observed and thus far. while
the widest scenes ever enacted in any city
were in progress down town, the man over
whose elevation they we're iubilating sat quiet
ly in his library only a mile away enjoying the
society of his family after a long spell of hard
work aud reading the bulletins telling OF his
election, without manifesting more than the
most ordinary interest in the result In order
that he may enjoy the privacy he desired dur
ing these days. but very few of his many per-
sOhal friends have as yet called TO tender their
congratulations. The simple reading of the
several thousand kilograms he has received is
no small task and has occupied much OF his
time. He il very particular about this and will
permit no Telegram to DO laid aside until he has
carefully read il, and many of them bear his
pencil memoranda In explanation as to who the
sender is.
In the early hours of the election, Mr.. Har-
rison received perhaps two or three hundred
kilograms from friends in the state and else-
where inquirinS as to the latest returns and
what his prospects were. Speaking of this
matter last night, the general said TO the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent that he found it
utterly impossible to answer more than small
portion OF these inquiring telegrams.
Several pretended interviews with Gen. Har-
rison have recently been printed in rletropoli-
tan Journals. NJ. Harrison, from the day of
his nomination. has consistently declined to be
interviewed. These interviews, therefore, are
not genuine.
About dozen members OF the Lincoln Club
Of Cincinnati called last night To congratulate
GaAs HAcsisoaa They were cordially received
by both Gen. and Mrs. Harrison. Congress
man Ben. Butterworth warmly congratulated
the general Mayor Smith and II. X. Probasco
were among the number. After a pleasant
visit Of half an hour the party returned to the
city. leaving for home shortly after midnight.
Word is received that numerous clubs and DEL
eSations are preparing to come to the city.
Among other kilograms received by Gen. liar
rison to-day was one from Findlay, Ohio, stat
ing that the largest gas-well in the world had
been struck there yesterday, and had been
named the Ben. Harrison"
Mr.. Russell Harrison received telegram
from Helena Mont. saying Montana had given
5000 majority for the republican ticket-the
territorial council and house.
