INDIANAPOLIS, July IA delegation of
seventy-one citizens of Wabash county
called on. General Harrison today. Gen
eral Harrison spoke briefly and referred to
the kindly reception given him in Wabash
county IN 1860. when he was a candidate
for reporters of decisions in the supreme
court of Indiana.
Later in the day a delegation of about
1000 arrived from Boone county. General
Harrison said in part:
am glad to notice your quick interest
a the campaign. | am sure that your in
terest is stimulated by your devotion to
the principles of government which you
conceive rightly, as | believe, to be IN
vClyed in this campaign. lApplauSei.
am glad to think some OF you veterans OF
a former political campaign to which your
chairman has alluded and others of you
comrades in the great war for the union
come here to express personal friendship
for me. Cheersl. But am sure that the
campaign will be waged upon plan alto
gether above personal considerations
You are here as citizens of the
state of Indiana, proud of the great
advancement the state has made since the
pioneer days when brave men from the
east and south entered our territory, blaZ-
ing pathway into the unbroken forest
upon which civilization, intelligence, patri-
otis:n and the love of God have walked
until it was conspicuous among the states
as a community DESTROYS of social order
full of patriotic zeal and pledged to the
promotion of that education which is to
uualify the coming generations to dis
charge honorably and well their duties to
the government which we will leave in
their hands. IApplauseI. You are here
also as citizens of the United States
proud of that arch of strength that binds
together the states of this union in one
great nation. But citizenship has its
duties as well as its privileges. The first
is that we give our energies and influence
to the enactment of just, equal and beneh-
rient laws The second is like unto it,
that we Loyalty reverence and obey the will
of the majority enacted into law whether
we are of the majority or not. lA1plausei.
The law throws the aegis of its protection
over us all. 1t stands sentinel about your
country homes to protect you from vlo-
.lence 1t comes into our more thlckly
populated community and speaks It's man
dare for individual security and public
order There is an open avenue through
the ballot box for the modification or re-
peal of laws which are unjust or oppres-
sive. To the law we bow with reverence.
1t is the one king that commands our
allegiance. We will change our king
when his rule is oppressive by the method
appointed and crown his more liberal sue
cessor. lApplause.l
The last delegation was from Benton
county. Mayor Denny introduced Captain
ftreight as spokesman for the visitors, and
in response TO his address General Harri-
son sail:
Captain Streight, fellow citizens and
comrades-I am very grateful to you for
this visit and for the cordial terms in
which your spokesman has extended to me
the congratulations of my friends OF Ben
ton county. We have men who boast that
they are cosmopolitans, citizens of the
u L
lean citizen Applause. And freely con-
Tess that American interests have the first
place III my regard applause. This is not
at all inconsistent with the recognition OF
that comfy between nations which is
necessary to the peace OF the world.
Il is not inconsistent with
that philanthropy which sympathizes
with human distress and oppression the
world around. We have been especially
favored as nation, separated from the
conflicts, jealousieS and intrigues of
European courts, with a territory embrac-
ing every feature of climate and soil, and
resources capable of supplying the wants
of our people, of developing a wholesome
and gigantic national growth and spread
here the principles of human liberty and
tree government. do not think it incon-
sistent with the philanthropy
Df the broadest teacher of hui
man love that we should first
have regard for that family Of which we
are a part. Here in Indiana the drill has
disclosed to us the presence ofineXhaustia-
bic quantities in large area of our state,
of that new fuel which has the facility of
doing its own transportation even to the
furnace door and which leaves no residium
to be carted away when il has done its
work. The discovery has added an inn
pulse to our growth. 1t has attracted man
n1aClurl0G llluESIerltS from Ot0cT 8.
MANY of our towns have received and this
city we may hope is yet to receive a great
impulse in the development of their manu-
featuring industries by reason of this dis
Covery. Ii seems 10 me that this fuller
development OF our manufacturing inter
ests, the building up q a home market for
the products Of our farms, which is sure TO
produce here that which has been so obvi-
Gus elsewhere, great increase in the value
o. farms and farm products is opening 10
Us the pleasing prospect of A rapid growth
In wealth. we should be slow 10 abandon
that system of productive duties which
looks TO the promotion and development
of American industry and 10
lie preservation OF the highest
possible scale of wages for the American
Workman. Applause The development
of our country must be upon all of those
lines that benefit all of our people. Any
development that does not reach and ben
efcially affect all our people is not TO be
desired and cannot be progressive or per
manent. Comrades, you still love the
flag for which we fought. You are pre-
served in Gods providence TO see the won
drous results of the struggle in which you
were engaged, reunited country, con-
stitution whose authority is no longer dis
puted, a flag to which all men bow. Ii has
won respect at home, it should be re-
spected by all the nations Of the earth
as the emblem representative OF people
desiring peace with all man, but resolute
in the determination that the rights OF al
our citizens the world around shall be
faithfully respected Applause and cries
cries OF that's right thank you again
for this visit, and If it be your pleasure
and your committee will so arrange, will
be glad to take you by the hand.
A short time was spent in shaking hands
with the general. and AT the close of the
reception Ia lAft tha hotel and returned TO
his home.
