CINCINNATI, August 81. - Amid the
booming of cannon and cheers from a
vast multitude gathered at the Central
station, the President of the United
States arrived here at quarter after 10
o'clock. Crowds were at every station
as the train came humming down this
and gave cheers when the train
stopped. The President was besieged by
eager patriots to shake hands. The party
included President Harrison, Attorney
General Miller, Secretary Rusk, Hon.
John B. Elam, General Thomas G. Nor
gan, Commissioner OF Indian Affairs,
and others.
The Central Union depot was packed
and there was almost a continuous ova-
ton of applause until President Harrison
reached the carriage whic he occupied
with Governor Foraker. There were
present the First Regiment, Ohio National
Guards, commanded by Colonel U. L.
Fl awkins. and Battery B, of the Ohio
National Guards. The latter fred a
salute, which added to the volume of
cheering as the President was making
his way to the carriage. The line of
march to the Burnett House was packed
with shouting people, while the windows
were alive with men, women and chill
dren, all joining in the boisterous well
come to the Chief Magistrate.
The President rode almost continually
with his hat in hand, and was almost
constantly bowling his Acknowledgements
to the enthusiastic greetings. The COM
mon expression among those who had
not seen the President since the end of
last falls campaign was: "How we'll he
looks"
Arriving at the Burnett House, pub.
lie reception in the elaborately adorned
psrlors began almost Immediately. At
the end af three. quarters of an hour the
President WAS driven to the Builders
Exchange, where another address of
welcome was made by President Allison
of that body. Here again, as at the Bur-
nett House, there was a great press Of
people to shake the Presidents hand.
From the Builders Exchange the Pres
ident was driven to the magnificent new
building of the Chamber of Commerce,
where it had been arranged that the
members should have reception for a
quarter of an hour, and then the public
should be admitted for an hour. But
the members became engulfed in a great
mass of people that crushed into the hall.
The President, in reply to an address,
referred to the fact that in his youth it
was at Cincinnati that he, a country
boy, had his first glimpse of great city.
Notwithstanding that an hour was spent
in n.handshaking, not nearly all of the
throng present could be grati6ed.
The Presidential party at dinner was
joined by quite number of gentlemen
from Cincinnati, and both it, and the
rest which followed it when the Presi-
dent went to bis room and received a
few friends, was q pleasing contrast to
the more exciting events that made up
the programme for the first half of the
day.
At the Chamber of Commerce recep.
tion the stream passed at the rate of fifty
people per minute. Long after the re-
ception had ended crowds of people went
into the Chamber of Commerce merely
to see where the President had been and
to look at the decorations.
At half-past 4 the Presidents depart
ure from the Burnet House was the occa-
sic n for renewed applause. Iswas started
by the spectators in the corridor who
saw the President kiss child in its
mothers arms as he was COM
ing down the stairway. The Presi-
dent was accompanied by the
Indianapolis Committee of Invitation
and by members of the Cincinnati COM
mittee. At o'clock the train started.
At that moment the President appeared
on the rear platform and a shout arose,
which continued until the train was out
OF sight.
INDIANAPOLIS, August 21.-Among the
persons aboard the train leaving Cincin-
natl were President Harrison, Attorney
General Miller, Private Secretary Hal
ford, Secretary Rusk, General Morgan,
Commissioner of Indian Affairs; Hon.
Dan NJ. Rsndsell, Marshal of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and Captain Meredith,
Chief of the Bureau Of Printing and
Engraving.
To tell of the hearty and frank recep-
tion at one place on the road is to tell OF
that of all. At Hamilton cannon thun-
dered forth Presidential salute as the
train drew up. At Oxford, where
DR.. Scott had been professor at
Miami University, and at an.
other time head of the female
college, the Mayor said in behalf of the
citizens: "We greet you where you re-
ceived your college education and were
married. Oxford has ever felt deep
interest in your useful career. Oxford
has watched your life. We rejoice in
this opportunity of giving you hearty
welcome"
In reply, the President said it gave
him pleasure to stop even for q moment
at Oxford, and rendered most sincere
thanks for the reception. The Mayor at
College Corner said: "We stand on the
edge Of two States to welcome you to
your State. We have a wagon here in
which your grandfather rode in 1910, and
we will be glad to ride you in it today"
The carriage was very old looking
csrryall, to which rope was attached,
ready to be drawn by the eager people
President Harrison replied "Tha nix
you. l prefer this modern vehicle am
riding on now. l am oblige
to you and this audience for
this hearty greeting. 1t gives
me pleasure to cross the line into my
own State, which has been so hospitable
and kind to me always, and it gives me
pleasure to look into the faces of her
happy and prosperous people tonight"
Governor Hovey stepped out on the
car platform behind the President and
said uMr prooidapf-Aa Gavarno. ok
