"MY FELLow.ClrizESs-I have known
this beautiful city OF yours and many OF
the people al this prosperous county
for more than thirty years. l have
known, in general way, the develop.
ments Of your interests by almost yearly
visits to the city Of Muucie, but it seems
10 me in these two years have been
out Of tho State you have made more
progress than in any year since was in
the State. Cheers. l think it was in
1856, when spent night in Muncie,
that my attention was drawn by some
OF your citizens as darkness settled
down, to remarkable and unusual, and
what was then thought, to be chiefly a
curious red glow in your HORIZON. 1t was,
If | recollect Alright, about the
earliest development of natural gas
in Indiana, and the extent OF this great
field was wholly unknown. .
The sunlight will not more surely shed
its beams on us this morning than this
great tide OF prosperity which has SC. in
through this gas belt OF Indiana, shall
60 on increasing nntil all the cities and
towns within its radius are full OF busy
men and humming machinery. What
does all this mean? 1t means employ
ment for men,. It means happy and
comfortable homes for an increasing
population. It means an increased home
market for the products OF the farm. It
means that the farmer will have choice
OF crops and will have consumers for
parishable products OF his farm at his
very door.
PATRIOTIC WORDS.
l do not forget that your good county
sent to the War OF the Union in the
gallant regiments that went from this
gallant State multitude OF brave men
to stand by the flag. [Cheers.] Some
OF them are here with you to-day. Tap
plause. Now let that love OF the flag
be still uppermost on your hearts.
Nothing has pleased mo more as l pass
ed through some OF our western States
than 10 SEQ that the school children
everywhere had the starry flag in their
hands. lGreat cheering. Let it be 80
here and everywhere. Let them learn
to love it, to know its beauty in order
that when the tina of peril comes they
may be ready to defend it. Prolonged
applause.
At Winchester stand had been erect
ed aud several thousand people were as.
sembled. Every building in the city
