HENRY THE HUSTLER
MAGNIFICENT OUTPOURING TO
GREET INDUSTRIES CHAMPION.
At North Indianapolis Tonight
Henderson's Hollow ChuckIe.

An event of more than usual significance
In the political history OF Haughville oc-
CURED in the little suburb last night.
Charles l.. Henry. Republican candidate for
congressional honors. addressed an audience
of one thousand people in the town Read
ing Room. his speech being received with
the heartiest enthusiasm. Last nights
meeting was one OF the largest ever given
by any political party In the suburb. The
Republicans of the Industrious little town
are particularly elated over the success OF
their meeting. At the close Of Mr.. Henry's
remarks leading citizens expressed the be-
lief that the Republican candidate for Con-
gress would carry the town by a majority
Of over a hundred. Two years ago the
Haughville vote gave Mr.. Bynum a ma
jority of more than two hundred over his
Republican exponent.
The meeting last night was under the
auspices of the Haughville Republican
Campaign Club. The arrangement commit
tee of the club had spared no labor or ex-
pense In decorating the Reading Room, and
when the speaker arrived he was escorted
to the stage beneath a profuse draping Of
the stars and stripes. The hall began to
fill early. and by 8 o'clock the seating ca
pacity was exhausted. A great many who
could not find seats stood on the stage or
sat In the windows. Hundreds stood up in
the rear of the hall and around the walls
OF the room. A great many were turned
away for lack of standing room. Prior to
the arrival of the speaker the Haughville
Cornet Band occupied the stage and dis
coursed patriotic airs. The Bald-head Glee
Club, of this city, accompanied Mr.. Henry,
and in that inimitable style that has popu-
lariZed the club sang two of their best
campaign songs before the meeting opened.
The audience chiefly represented the man
ufacturing industries of Haughville, al
though many business men and ladies were
present and evinced the liveliest enthusiasm
when the speaker scored a point.
j. III. Slatery,- chairman of the Republi-
can Campaign Club, presided over the meet
ing and introduced Mr.. Henry in a few
happily selected words. The speaker stood
below an immense flag, which gracefully
swung from the ceiling. Smaller flags or
namented the stage in profusion, and bright
colored bunting twined about the chande-
liers. Suspended in front of the stage and
above the heads of the audience a large
banner served to remind the audience that
the Democratic administration had proven
hostile to the American producer. Across
the white anvas in large black letters
cents"
Mr.. Henry was greeted with unstinted
applause when he arose to face the audi
ence. His speech. was one of the strongest
yet delivered by him. His argument
throughout was practical and convincing,
a fact that was manifested in the rousing
cheers that punctuated many of his clean
cut, logical utterances. During his remarks
last night Mr.. Henry referred TO the
charges made against him by the opposi-
ton press. He spoke of his relations with
organized labor, and so thoroughly ex-
planned his attitude toward the union labor
that his closing words awoke generous APP
plause. At the close of Mr.. Henry's speech,
William Fessler responded to an urgent call
from the audience and spoke briefly upon
the congressional race. The speaker, Mr.:
Henry and the Glee Club were entertained
afterward at a banquet by Mr.. j. II. Alex
ander.
