The republican meeting at the Princess
rink in this city tonight. which was intended
as the climax OF the Harrison hurrah,
was a failure 50 emphatic as far as its
real purpose is concerned that its import
fell with a dull. sicxening thud upon the
head Of Benjamin Harrison. There is no
Disgusting the fact that this tour Of the
state was organized by the republican
committee with the sole end in view of
counteractng the effects Of William Nc
Kinley's recent visit u indianapolis. On
that occasion, as every one knows, Harri-
son tried hard 70 'be away on important
business" in order 70 avoid meeting
with Mckinley. but the pressure was too
strong and he had 10 give in much
against his Will As Mr.. Harrison gazed
upon the throng in Tomlnson hall and
heard the shouts for Mckinley ne real
lied that his star was no longer in the
ascendant, even upon his own dunghill.
Something must be done
Previous TO McKinley's visit to Indi-
annapolis it had been announced and the
statement reiterated time and again that
Harrison would make but two speeches
during the entire campaign. That was
UtLVlE lllt ftNahtAlAlAH llIN ANAAlis 4NHMf a.
must be peculiarly significant 10 the in
tellgent voter that instead of TWO
speeches I'm Indiana during the cam
paign." Benjamin Harrison made twenty
two speeches on his trip through The
southern part of the state, and has al
ready made nine on this trip with at least
ten more 10 come tomorrow. In making
these trips the committee has taken great
care not To miss any town of Importance,
but two congressional districts having
been passed by. and when the journey is
at an end tomorrow evening Mr.. IidiTl-
son viii have swung conn letely around
Indiana's circuit Yet He of the Hat
was only To- make two speeches during
the campaign. and on one occasion he
himself said these two would be made
i'm connection with other speakers. forty
speeches i'm four days, with a date yet To
fiji at Anderson, is el0ngating the gentle
and submissive figure two with a ven
geance. And why did Benjamin decide
TO overwork his lungs? simply because
Mckinley visited Indianapolis and ''Veni-
cd and vidi-ed and WICKED"
Has the eN-president been successful in
stamping out the Mckinley triumph?
Well. not on your grandfather's hat
No HOyvIs of Enthusiasm.
Crowds have turned out, they have
sized up Benjamin's clothes. which cost
him $40 less Than they did when ne oc-
howl Of enthusiasm has come from a re-
publican throat. As said before, the
meeting at the rink tonight was no COM
pliment TO "Indianas favorite SON" The
march TO the hall was hzzle The
parade" consisted Of one brass band,
the soldiers sons and citizens club, with
100 i'm line; the Tenth ward republican
club. with about the same number, and
a motley assortment of boys and men
carrying a transparency reading, Not a
democratic cOlored voter in Allen cOun-
ty" In the rink there We're about two
thousand people, and at s o'clock Mr..
Harrison was introduced 10Y Charles ID.
Everett. He spoke for over an hour and
his remarks We're heavy-laden with ca
lamity bowls about the business depres-
sion. which was brought about by the
idiocy of his own monetary policy, and
sneers at the senate tariff bill" the
passage of which the presidential aspir-
ant omitted to state is already pulling the
Industries Of the country out of the
slough Of despOnd.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Harrison's visit,
the republicans of TT. Wayne are still
handling William McKin,ey's name in a
fond way. The Harrison hurrah has
proved a failure. Tomorrow morning at
o'clock the Harrison presidential boom
special viii start on its return trip.
