INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 24.-Hon. White
law Reid and Chauncey M. Depew re
ceived genuine Hoosier welcome al
along the line in Indiana today. Logans
port was the first stopping place OF i'm
portance. AS the distinguished visitors
debarked, they were roundly cheered by
the crowds who had gathered the firing
of cannon and the RINGING of bells, an
nounced their arrival. Messrs. Reid
and Depew we're escorted to the rink by
the Logan Republican club and Other
organizations. The rink was packed
and 1000 or more people we're unable tc
get inside.
Reid was first introduced, and talked
of the calamity cry raised by the Dem.
ocrats. He said he failed to see any
signs of tribulation in his trip across
the northern part of Indiana. Depew
was then introduced and spoke briefly.
After leaving Loganeport the train
stopped at Kokomo, where preparations
for their reception were made on an
elaborate scale. Some 5000 people. with
| gaily trimmed wagons, were present,
and stands were erected near by, from
! which brief speeches were made.
| The distinguished travellers also spoke
| at SharpsviIle, Upton and Nobleeville,
where the people turned out by thou
sands.
AT THE PRESIDENTS HOME.
The home Of President Harrison ex-
tended royal greeting to Reid and
Depew. Nearly every city and town in
Indiana was represented by delegation.
They assembled with drum corps and
brass bands at the union depot, and es-
corted the distinguished visitors to the
Dennison hotel. Here the enthusiastic
crowd called Reid and Depew to the
and bowed their acknowledgements.
Tonight's meeting was under the
auspices of the Commercial Travellers
Republican club Of Indiana. The parade
preceding the addresses moved at
o'clock. The two largest. balls in tlzsa
city were procured for the occasion.
Both were packed, and scores of people
were turned away, but an overflow
meeting was addressed by ex Congress-
man Mason, of Chicago, while thous-
ands of others marched and counter
marched upon the principal streets.
Each distinguished gentleman spoke at
both places of meeting.
DEPEw's SPEECH.
Depew spoke first at Tomlinson's g
hall. His appearance was greeted by
tremendous cheering. When quiet was
restored, Depew said:
Ordinarily my business engage
ments are 30 exacting that it is difficult
for me to get away from New York, but
when q request came from the president,
asking me to 60 to Indiana, mission so
solemn and go sacred, / felt that the
j place for me was at the home of General
| Harrison
The speaker then referred at some
length to the panics that periodically
conyulsed the country, from its early
history up to war. The immunity from
them in late years, he attributed to the
Republican policy of protection, which
was proof against them. "The Demo-
past" said he, land there ia certain
parties, that if the Democrats won't lie
about the past of the Republican party,
the latter will not tell the truth about
the past of the Democrats"
Depew then devoted some time to a
review of the tariff question, which
closed his speech.
REID's ADDRESS.
The meeting at English's opera house
was addressed by Mr.. Reid. He received
great ovation when he was introduced
He spoke as follows:
"At this moment, in this city and in
this presence, one thought is upparmosl
with US all. One of your friends anG
nei2hbors, great son of Indiana, whom
she has loaned for time to the repu b
lie, and who, therefore, belongs now
not to you alone, but to 5,000,0 GOO peo
pie, is in deadly trouble. We make oul
public men more public than do any
other people in the world, and 80 tht
White House is to America the cynosur'
of all eyes We are not people who
talk much about such things, but from
shore to shore OF our continent, there il
no decent head of family who was no
glad in his soul that his children saw

sion, and now the light of the house i
going out. Into the holy circle of tina
grief none of uH may venture. We Cal
only say, as the whole land says: Ma,
the God of their fathers and our father
be with them BOTH
You will not blame me If, at thi
time in this city, and in the presence 0

to clasp hands with him as an Ameri
