WAsHINGToN, Sept. Cot was 5 O'Clock
this afternoon, over five hours after the
time when the first colunn in the great
Grand Army parade began to move before
the Hoosier veterans put in an appearance
in front of the reviewing stand Of the Vice
president. The boys had long. tiresome
wait, and, as might have been expected,
they were weary and anxious to get of
their feet, and to secure something
for the inner man. but they made
fine appearance. They are brave men,
were gallant soldiers and they stood up to
their duty to-day. At their head rode De-
partment Commander Cheadle. who, al
though he carried o musker in the ran 70
from the beginning to the close Of the war
and fought on many bloody field of battle
as q private, now stood the peer of them
all About him rode his staff. "Parson"
Chase. now the popular Governor. was
with the boys. He did not ask for rank and
would have been contented to "hoof" 1t to-
day as he did in war days. He looked the
determined, intrepid soldier that he has
been for thirty years.
OVER TWO THOUSAND HOLSTERS IN LINE.

ana veterans in line and they were cheered
on their entire way. Many times was the
name of "Ben Harrison heard as the

he would have been proud to have cheered
his own column. and had Providence willed

at the head of the Indiana column. 1t was
not one of the famous bands of the coun-

popularity on account of a sentiment.
The Department of Indiana was the

INDIANAPOLIS BY ACCLAMATION.
|. There has been little said to-day about
the location of the encam pment for next
year. 1t appears to be settled that Indian
apolis will be selected tomorrow by &C.
clamation, and the Hoosiers. as we'll a.
others. seem to regard it as beyond dis-
pute. The exercises to-day have been.
however. of so absorbing O nature as To
leave little time for thought or work. The
Commercial Club, taking IL for granted
that they have secured the prize. held nc
meeting to-day. nor have they called one
for tomorrow. when the contest Is to be
decided.
Miss Cora Curry. formerly of In.
diana, has done herself great credit
for the splendid assistance she has
rendered in the management of the en-
campment She has had charge of the
bureau of information.
Most OF the Indiana people here will GET
homo by Saturday. A few will go 70 New
York. not being scared by the cholera, and
will not get home till early next week.
The Is. IL o. road. it is estimated. has
brought nearly $50 600 strangers here. Dur
