INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 1.-The
capital city of the Hoosier state. and the
home of the president of the republic.
did honor to-day to the memory of one
of her favorite sons whose notable
career as statesman was cut short just
as his life's work had been rewarded
with the second highest Office in the
gift of the American people. Conspicu-
Gus as Thomas A. Hendricks had been
in his lifetime in the councils of one
political party, there were no politics in
the event of to-day. The business
houses and private residences, of the
most earnest supporters of the party in
power, and the warmest friends of
President Harrison. were decorated just
as profusely and with as much taste as
those of their political opponents, and
in the imposing street demonstration
Republicans marched with Democrats,
and Prohibitionists with Mugwumps.
No one party was represented In
the tens of thousand of dollars
that have poured in from every state
and territory of the Union toward the
erection of the magnificent work of art
that adornS the state house grounds,
and political differences were forgotten
in the salvos of applause that greeted
the venerable relict of the deceased vice
president as with trembling hand she
pulled the rope and exposed to public
view the marble features of

1t was red-hot day. From the moment
that "Old Sop poked his head from
above the horizon 1t was apparent that
he intended to outdo his record of the
past six days. There was not the slight
est suspicion Of breeze to modify tho
terrible visitation. But the crowds of
men and women that began to pour out
of the union depot almost with break Of
day did not seem to mind 1t. They took
the streets shady side. when they could
find any, and tried to look cool and
happy, even if they did not feel it. All
the roads centering in or passing
through the city had provided for a
trains, and they found their facilities
trains of ten or twelve cars the people
were packed like sardines, and for hours
right up to noon the big depot discharged
a steady stream of perspiring humanity
into Illinois street. The local committee
had provided 10000 silk badges with a
bust cut of Hendricks and appropriate
letter press, but the supply was soon ex-
hausted, and even if there had been
twice as many there would not have
been sufficient to 60 round. To many
of the visitors the Bates, Grand and
Denison hotels, where Cows. Hill, Camp
bell and Francis were respectively quar-
tered. were the
Great Centers of Attraction
and they besieged the rotundas and the
street outside in the hope of getting a
view of the distinguished visitors,
and maybe speech. In the latter,
however, they were disappointed. The
three chief executives drove to the
state house shortly after 10 O'Clock, and
after being introduced to each other by
Gov. Hovey in his private parlorS, held
an informal reception for a couple of
hours. Meanwhile the various divis-
ions of the para had begun to form at
designated rendezvous, and at o'clock,
when Chief Marshal Gen. Fred Knef-
ler was satisfied that all was in readi-
ness, the signal was given by the firing
of seven guns by the veterans stationed
at the north side of the court house
square, and the head of the col umn
moved. The metropolitan police, under
command of Supt. Travis, led the way,
with the chief marshal and staff
and mounted escort close in the
rear. The First division, CON-
yoanAod hx7 Cnl w MoKoo
made up of the Second regiment in
fantry, Indiana Legion, the Indlanap-
| oils Light Artillery battery, the Knights
| of Pythias and the Knights of Honor,
and the uniforms of the military, with
the gay plumage and regalia of the CIV
| ilians combined to present brilliant
spectacle. The second division was led
| by the Hendricks club of Indianapolis,
with j. B. Curtis commanding. Its
members marched in square as special
escort to the carriage containing Mrs.
Hendricks, President Rand, of the
monument association, and Senator
T urpie, the orator of the day. One
Continuous VO1ley of Cheers
greeted the venerable widow as the
carriage moved slowly from block to
block, and Mrs. Hendricks, who looked
somewhat pale, but fully composed,

of the Young Mems Gray club. Cleveland

commanded by James R. Carnahan, was
| the visiting clubs from Indiana and
other states. Following these in the
Fourth division were carria les, foul
! abreast, containing Cows. Hill, Camp
bell, Francis and Hovey, and their par.
| ties. The committees of the monument
association, board of trade and com
! mercial club, and the judiciary, state
county and city officials. The Fifth
division was composed of veteran sol
dlers' organizations, and the sixth and
last of the city and ward organizations
of Indianapolis. The sidewalks along
the line of march were packed with peO
pie, who heartily cheered the visiting
governors, the clubs from abroad and
the other features of the parade that ex
cited their enthusiasm. Each division
had its band of music; and the number
less flags, banners and other devices
that were carried tended to complete &
magnificent ensemble. 1t was
o'clock despite the fact that, ow
ing to the extreme heat, the
route had been shortened, before
the head of the procession reached the
state house grounds. Here almost a;
far as the eye could reach the spectators
were crowded. From the monument {
platform had been erected for the speak
ers and distinguished guests, while tt
the right was an amphitheater filled
with 500 school children, the majority
