INDIANAPOLIS. Oct 24.-The home Of
President Harrison extended a royal greet
Ing to his Presidential associate on the
ticket. Whitelaw Reid. aud another eminent
New Yorker. Chaucey NJ. Depew. Nearly
every city and town in Indiana was repre-
sented by a delegation.
They assembled with drum corps and
brass bands at the Union depot and es-
corted the distinguished visitors to DenDSon
Hotel. Here Rn enthusiastic crowd called
Reid and Depew 10 the balcony, where both
spoke a few words and bowed their ac-
kn0HIedgments. TO-night's meeting was
under the auspices of the Commercial
Travellers Republican Club Of IndiauG.
A parade, preceding the addresses,
moved az S O'clock. Two of the largest
halls In the city had been procured for the
occasion. Both were packed and scores of
people were turned away, but an overflow
meeting was addressed by eX-Congressman
Mason of Chicago, while thousands Of
others marced and eountermaTched upon
the principal streets.
Each distinguished gentleman spoke at
both Elaees of meeting. Depew spoke first
IT Tomlinson's hall. His appearance was
greeted by tremendous cheering When
quiet WAS restored Depew said: "0rdinar-
lily my business engagements are so exact
Ing that il is difficult TO force me to get
away from New York, but when a request
came from the President asking me TO 20 to
Indiana the mission was so solemn and
so sacred that felt that the place for me
was at the home of General Harrison. The
speaker then referred at some length to the
events that had periodically convulsed
the country from its early history up TO the
war.
Its immunity from them In later years he
he attributed TO the Republican policy OF
protection. which was proof against them.

the past, and there Is a certain implied
agreement between the two parties that il
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 re-
view of the tariff question. which closed his
speech.
The meeting at EngiIsh's Opera-house
was addressed by Mr.. Reid: When he was
introduced he received great ovation. He
spoke as follows:
al this moment in this city and in this
presence, one thought is uppermost with US
all. One Of your friends and neighbors,
the great son of Inctana. whom she has
loaned for time 10 de republic, and who,
therefore, belong Jw not to you alone, but
20 Is, ,000. 600 OF people, is in deadly trouble.
We make our public men more public than
do any other people In the world, and so
the White House is to America the cynO-
sure of ali eyes. We are not people who
talk much about such things, but from
shore to shore of our continent there is no
decent head of family who was not glad
in his soul that his children saw such
household il The executive mansion. And
now the light of the house is going out.
Into the holy circle of that grief none Of US
may venture. We can only say as the
whole land says: May the God OF their
fathers and our fathers be with them BOTH
You will not blame lie If a. this time,
IN this city and in presence Of this universal
sympathy. You md ME little inclined 70

dssgreements. am here tonight TO say
no word in discouTagement of any Demo-
crat as such. Ii he stands by the cOnstitu-
tion and laws of our common country,
whatever our differences as paTtisanS, L am
proud to clasp hands with him as an.Amer-
lean. If he does not stand BY them IN hls
enemy, now and forever, just as in 1861.
'Many OF US are fresh from the wonder
full spectacle which even our great-grand-
children's children's children cannot see
repeated. In that marvellous city which
sixty years ago was a wilderness were gath
cred the official representatives OF the
republic, aud Of most Of the forty-f0ur inde-
pendent States that compose the great
multitude of self-governing freemen, who
have built up this mighty nation upon this
continent, to commemorate the four hum
dredth anniversary of its discovery.
"As | saw the noble procession wind
through the streets and enter the largest
assembly chamber yet reared by human
hands: as ! saw grouped there before me
the largest audience ever gathered beneath
q single roof. with all the official forms Of
state and dignity that beftted the solemn
national eeTimonial OF one OF the greatest
OF earthly gOYernmentS-as / witnessed this
pageant and strove TO grasp an adequate con-
eeption of its significance, one unbldden
thought recDrred-hOw different would have
been this celebration, how different our
actual condition, how inexpressibly differ
ent the estimation of US by the nations of
the globe il the Republican party had been
defeated in 1860 or even in 1864 1t Is the
peculiar glory of that grand old party that
has guided this country for thirty years 10
unparalleled prosperity, that even its enc
mics are forced to approve II not to praise
its history"
Mr.. Reid proceeded at some length to re-
view the currency and tariff questions, and
then spoke of the record Of the Harrison
administration, "the story Of which," said
be. lis known and read of all men. The
first Indiana President has brought fresh
distinction to a name conspicuous In his
couDtTy's annals for more than century.
and has shed fresh honor upon the State,
as proud in her past and as ambitious Tor
her future as any in the whole glittering
galaxy The story OF the administration is
well known. but everybody does not hear
30 often that the President himself has
been the guiding mind and inspiring soul OF
its whole success.
Whatever you do. he will be reelected.
We mean TO see to that in New York We
did it last time and will do 1t again. But
for the sake of this great State and her
great and worthy son, L beg that no effort
OF yours shall be lacking TO make sure that
when the triumph for lndiana's President
is won we may hear among the Yictors the
voice IF Indiana"
