HIS NORTHERN TRIP
short Speeches tn BE Delivered at In
te~rmedinte Points and mt La
fayette-A Conversion.

In pursuance TO his promise made 10 the
Republican State committee a week or two
ago. to make several speeches in the State.
General Harrison yesterday approved the
schedule submitted by the committee for
his northern journey. The one for the south
ern journey was printed i'm the Journal a
few days ago. His northern speech will be
made at Fort Wayne on the evening of
Thursday, Oct. Is. and at that city there
VIII be a general rally for the Twelfth dis
trict. The n has so arranged the
schedule that General Harrison will make
talks more or less brief in five congression-
al districts. the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh,
Twelfth and Thirteenth. His train will
leave Indianapolis at 9 o'clock on the morn
ing OF Oct. IS and will stop at Noblesville,
Upton. Kokomo, Marion. Button, Deca-
tur and Fort Wayne, where he arrives
about : O'Clock In the afternoon. Leaving
Fort Wayne at 8 o'clock on the following
morning, Oct. 10, his train will stop at Co
iumbia City. Warsaw. Plymouth, Roches-
ter. Peru, Logansport, Delphi. Lafayette
and Lebanon, reaching Indianapolis at 100
in the evening. 1t is probable that a big
district rally for the Tenth district will be
arranged at Logansport, where General
Harrison arrives about 2:30 o'clock. Another
big district rally for the Ninth has already
been arranged for Lafayette. where Hon.
John Nj. Butler will speak in the afternoon
and Hen. Charles +. Griffin in the evening.
As General Hsrrison's train arrives at La
fayette about ; o'clock it fits in very op-
portunely.

candidate for Auditor OF State. called upon
General Harrison at his residence in the
formal consultation, Ii was agreed that the
General would leave the train at Lafayette
and sneak at the opera house for such
cumstances will permit.
One of the members of the Lafayette WIS.,
ting committee. at General Harrison's res
idence yesterday, Is deserving special men,
ton on account of the fact that il was
his fist public appearance as an avowed
advocate of Republican principles, although
he has always been a pronounced prorec-
ZIONIST. Hon. Francis johnson is one of
the few men who have been elected 10 Of
flee by the Democrats of Tippecanoe coun-
". and he is well known by reason of the
exceptional ability he displayed while he
was a member OF the Senate. He is a
gentleman of talent, culture and extensive
popularity. He is a representative Ger
man and the editor OF one or the leading
German newspapers of the State. A few
months ago Mr.. Johnson made a tour of
Europe, and returned with renewed faith
in the wisdom of the protection policy. In
short. he was so convinced that Ii Is the
one issue of supreme Importance TO the
people that he was decided to declare that
henceforth he will act with the Repub-
licans-an announcement that will be re-
ceived with great pleasure by thousands of
persons throughout the State who are ac-
uuainted with the Senator's eminence as a
factor in politics.
General Harrison goes East the following
week TO remain a week. The committee
has very strong hope that he will consent
to make one more speech after his return
in the central part of the State, probably
in the Seventh district. The State commit
tee is assigning its most prominent speak,
ers at other points where the special stops.
and il is probable that general meetings
will be arranged in each of the cities above
named. 1t is the expectation to allow
about twenty minutes at each city named,
but the time cannot be definitely fixed
until the schedule has been revised by the
officials of the railroads over which the
train is to pass.
