General Harrison had 20 show himself Tor mn
ute I'M, made no speech Governor Foraker ana
Mrs Foraker were whiting at Piqua to board the
train They got on amid great enthusiasm
Tho noise and cheering were 50 great indeed thht
tbe prcsident-elect was unable 10 get start
nm spcech. and the train started before any
thing was said. Governor Foraker announced
that Inc came out to offer General Harrison the
freedom of the State so 20 speak. lie rode only
rs far as Columbus lie and General Harrison
had q chat together in the private car. At Ur-
bana there was n short stop, but no speaking.
Nowhere along the route, so far, had such en-
usiasm been shown as at Columbus. Inc Dig
station she'd was packed TO. the walls with
shouting mob, and men, women ana cmldfeh
pushed against the cars on both sides OF the
frlin until IL seemed almost impossible Tor many
Of them to escape from being forced under the
wheels Outside the station a salute OF cannon was
fired. and inside everything WAS nglow with red
and blue fires Two or three uniformed companies
and as many brass bands were on hand TO help
along the demonstration. Most conspicuous In
tho crowd we're the Republican members OF the
Legislature, who had come 10 greet the President
elect. For three minutes after the train pulled
into the station there was nearly as much hubbub
as at the finish Of an international yacht race.
When the noise subsidized u little General Harrison
and Governor Foraker appeared on the rear plat
form Of the private car The Governor intro
duced the Pregident-elect in few words. In re-
ply General Harrison made the longest speech OF
the day.
Shortly after leaving Columbus General Har-
rlson's party broke up and vert TO bed The
General win not appear again until he reaches
