REID AT INDIANAPOLIS.
The Home of the President Gives Him Re-
ception.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 24.-The home
OF President Harrison extended royal
greeting to his presidential associate on the
ticket, Whitelaw Raid, and that other emil
nent New Yorker, Chauncey M. Depew.
Nearly every city and town in Indiana was
represented by q delegation. They as
sembled with q drum corps and brass
bands at the Union depot and escorted the
distinguished visitors to the Dennison
hotel. Here en- enthusiastic crowd called
Reid and Depew to the balcony. where both
spoke q few words and bowed their ao-
acknowledgements.
| Tonight's meeting was under the auspices
of the Commercial Travellers Republican
club of Indiana. The parade proceeding
the addresses moved at O'Clock, while two
of the largest halls in the city were pro-
cured for the occasion. q Both were packed
and scores Of people were turned away, but
the overflow meeting was addressed by Ex-
Congressman Mason of Chicago, while
thousands OF others marched and countsr
marched upon the principal streets.
Each distinguished gentleman spoke at
both places of meeting. Depew spoke first
greeted by tremendous cheering. When
quiet was restored Depew said: 'Ordi-
narily my business engagements are so ex-
acting that it is difficult for me to get away
from New York, but " hen request came
from the president asking me to go to In
Cd
felt that the place for me was at the
home of General Harrison
4 The speaker then referred at some
length to the promises that periodically
convnlsed the country from early history
up TO the war. Immunity from them in later
years he attributed to the Republican pol
ICY of protection, which was proof against
them. Democrats object TO these refer
ences to the past, and there is g certain i'm
piled agreement between the two parties
that IL Democrats won't lie about the past
J OF the Republican party, the latter will not
tell the truth about the past OF the Demo
Gratis. Depew then devoted some time to
review Of the tariff question, which closed
his speech. The meeting at Englishs
Opera House was addressed by Mr.. Reid.
When he was introduced he received q
great ovation. He spoke as follows:
At this moment in this city, and in this
presence, one thought is uppermost with
US all. One of your friends and neighbors,
the grea. son of Indiana, whom she has
loaned for time to the republic, and who
therefore, belongs not to you alone, but
65,000000 OF people, Ia in deadly
trouble. We make our public men more
public than do any other people In the
world, and 80 the White House, to Ameri-
cans, Is the cynosure of all eyes. We are
not people who talk much about such
4 things, but from shore to shore OF our con-
tinent there is no decent head of family
who is not glad IN his soul that his children
cannot see such household in the execu-
: tive mansion, and now the light of the
house is going out. Into that holy circle
of grief that none Of US may venture. we
can only say as the whole land Gays: MAY
with them BOTH
a You will not blame me if at this time, in
4 this city and in the presence Of this uni
versal sympathy you find ma little In
clined to partisan vehemence in discussing
i partisan disagreements. I am here tonight
: to say no word in disparagement of any
Democrat az such. If he stands by the
constitution aud lsws of our common
! country, whatever our difference ss parti-
/ sans, am proud to clasp hands with him az
q an American. II ne does not stand by them,
! / am his enemy now and forever, just as
D in 1861.

: Mr.. Reid proceeded at soma length to re-

known and read of all men
