sands of people surrounding the cars of

at 3 p. M, Gen. Harrison reached tho
depot, there were ~deafening cheers, and
ten minutes later, when he appeared on
the back platform of President Roberts
private car to address the multitude,
there was the greatest enthusiasm. The
speech delivered by Gen. Harrison was
a~ttentively listened to, and upon its con
clusion the crowd gave three times three
cheers. About this time Private Secre-
taTy Halford showed himself and was
received with a hearty round of APP
plause from his friends and comrades.

bus citizens met him as the train pulled
across High street; the national salute
was fired, and the cheer that went up

deafening. The ladies were well repre-
sented in the crowd and were lust as
anxious to see Mr.. Harrison as the men.

Gated. The train was uncoupled SO al
to allow as manS as possible to gather
about President Roberts private car,
anu so great was the enthusiasm that
the rear railing was wrenched from its
supports. Gov. Foraker appeared on

DENNlsoN, Ohio, Feb. 26. = When
the presidential train reached Newark
..haSre was a large crowd at the station
prepared to give the pr~esident-elect a
ronsing reception. About fifteen loco
motives in the yards of the roads enter
ing there began a series of shrill whist
ling which made life hideous for the
moment. The Atlantic express, which
is the pilot for the special. was de-
layed in leaving Columbus, conse.
quentiy the special is about thirty
minutes late. 1t will hardly be possible
to make up this time before reaching
Pittsburg. 1T is not probable that Gen.
Harrison will do any further speaking
until Harrisburg is reached, about 10 a,
M. AT that point it is expected the gov
and members of the legislature
will meet the train and welcome the
capital. The general expects to speak
during the stop at Harrisburg.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 26.-As the
special train drew into the station
the Mckee babies were placed at the
windows and brought forth rounds of
cheers from the surging crowd outside
the station gates. AS the train came to
a standstill the gates We're thrown open,
and there was a great rush for Gen.
Harrison's cal. A committee represent
ing the legislature boarded the presi-
dents car. and rendered their congratu.
