INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 24-Hon. White
law Reid and Chauncey NJ. Depew
received a HoOsier welcome all along
the line i'll Indiana today. Iogansport
was the first stopping place of impo1-
lance. Al the distinguished quests
embarked they were revtrendly cheered
by the crowds who gathered at the
firing Of cannon and the ringing OF
fells which announced the arrival.
Messrs. Reid and Depew Were es-
cCrted to the rink by the Logan club
and other organizations. The rink was
packed ;nd Il thousand or more people
were unable to get inside.
Reid was first introduced and talked
Of the calamity cry raised by the dem
ocrats lie said that he failed to see
any signs of tribulation in his trip
across the northern part Of Indiana.
DcpeW spoke briefly
After leaving LoganSport the train
stopped at kokomo where preparations
for reception were made on an elab-
crate scale. Some 5000 people with
gaily trimmed wagons were present
and stand was erected near by from
which brief speeches were made. The
distinguished travellers also spoke at
Spartanville, Uptown and Noblesville,
where the people turned out by thou
sands.
When the party reached this city,
the home of President Harrison eX-
tended Il royal greeting to the presi-
dents associate on the ticket, White
law Reid, ana the other eminent
New Yorker, Chauncey NJ. DepeW.
Nearly every city and town in Indiana
was represented by Il delegation. They
assembled with drum corps and brass
bands at the union depot, then escorted
the distinguished visitors to the Den
nison hotel. Here an enthusiastic crowd
called Reid ana Depew to the balcony,
where both spoke Il few words and
bowed acknowledgements. Tonights
meeting was under the auspices of the
Commercial Travellers Republican club
of Indiana.
The parade preceding the addresses
moved at o'clock. Two of the largest
halls III the city were procured for the
scores of people turned away. but an
overflow meeting was addressed by OK
Congressman Mason, of Chicago, while
thousands Of others marched up TIL"
principal streets. Each of the distin-
guished gentlemen spoke at both places
of meeting.
Depcw spoke first ut TomlinSOn hall
His appearance was greeted by tire
mendous cheering, When quiet WAS re-
stored. DepeW said ordinarily my bus
mess engagements are so eXacting it
is difficult for me to get away from New
York but when Il request came from
the president asking me to 90 10 In
diana, the mission was SO solemn and
SO sacred | felt the place for me was
at the home Of General Harrison The
speaker then referred at some length
to the promises that periodically CON
vulSed the country from early history
up to the war. Immunity from them
i'll later years he attributed to the re-
publican policy Of protection which
WAS proof against them. Democrats
object to these references to the past
and there is Il certain implied agreement
between the two parties that if the
democrats wont lie about the past OF
the republican party. the latter will not
tell the truth about the past of the
time to Il review of the tariff question
which closed his speech.
The meeting at En@lish'S opera house
was addressed by Mr. Reid. When he
was introduced he received Il great
ovation.
Mr. Reid spoke feeTing1y of the presi-
dents attiiction which is particularly
felt by the residents of this, his homo,
whose citizens had but loaned Mrs.
Harrison but for a time to the repub-
lie, she belonged thus to 60,0000OO of
people.
He said that he was here tonight to
say a word in diSparagement OF any
democrat as such. IF he stands by
the constitution and laws of our COM
mon country. whatever our differences
as partiSans. l am proud to clasp
hands with him as IN American. If
he does not stand by them. | am his
enemy now and forever, Just as in
1861
Reid then spoke at length upon
what he had witnessed at Chicago and
said that he was impressed with the
idea of how different the display would
have been had the republican party
been defeated in 1861 or even in1S64.
The currency and tariff questions
also received Il touching up. and Presi-
dent Ha1ris0n'S administration was
highly praised
