 Indianapolis, Oct. 2O.-Benjamin liar rison left here at 9 o'clock this morning over the Indianapolis and vincennes road on his first Indiana speaking trip. He was accompanied by R. B. K. Pierce, H. H. Hanna, and W. T. Dur bin, representing the national commit tee; Daniel Ransdell, E. H. Nebeker H. o. Adams, w. l.. Taylor, John L. Griffith, c. C.. Foster and w. l.. Ketch- am. About seventy-five persons were at the station to see the departure. Just before the train started there were calls for MT. Harrison. He stepped to the rear platform and bowed and the crowd gave him three cheers.
 At Paragon several hundred people stopped the train and General Harrison came out to greet them with word. He noticed many women in the crowd, and admonished them to see that their husbands did their duty.
 At Spencer he was greeted by about 5000 people and made an address of fifteen minutes, devoted entirely to the silver question At Worthington a crowd of equal proportions had gather ed, and the enthusiasm ran high.
 At Spencer General Harrison said, among other things:
 This is another campaign in which very similar notions are being promul- gated. I speak here to men who have gathered from these industrial estab- lishments about the suburbs of h. dianapolis. The effort this year is to persuade them that the dollar they get every week Is too good and they ought to have one not quite as good. I ask you If that is not the sum of the whole argument. It is very plain, it seems, that the silver dollar, if the rel ative value of gold and silver remains what it Is and silver is coined freely will not buy as much as gold dol lar How much less nobody can tell that is suesswork. I have lifted my voice for thirty years in Indiana to the laboring men and the farmer, and I have had just his message, in green back and fiat money times, and now that of all the people in the world who will be injured by a cheap and fiuctu- ating money the workingn1an is the one who will be worst hurt.
 This is not new doctrine to me. I talked this way in 1878 and in those times when so many of you were list ening to the seducing voice of those who wanted you to have fiat money. raised my voice in protest then, and do now. Having no interest in the world it cannot help or hurt me accept as 1t helps or hurts you, and I beg you, as an American citizen, having some experience, to put away this doc- Urine that cheap dollar will be good for you. It can do nothing for you ex- cept to hurt you" (Cheers.)
 The next stop was at Mooresville
 Here crowd of about 800, people had gathered. General Harrison appeared and was given an ovation He plunged at once into his speech. He reviewed the fight the democratic party has been making for some years for cheap
 ness, while the republicans have been contending that fair prices were more conducive to prosperity and happiness, and called attention to the entire change of front made by the democrats in this campaign. They had abandon ed the price for cheapness and were now declaring that the people want higher priced things They had succeeded in their campaign in 1892, had elected a president and congress of their own way of thinking and had brought in an era of cheap things.
 The farmer had gotten the cheapest coats he had ever bought and purchas- ed them with the cheapest wheat he had ever sold He declared that MT. Bryan had been one of the most ultra of the free traders who had brought about this condition of things, and that if elected president he would still ad- vocate these principles. He appealed to the farmer of Indiana not to be tempted by the fake notion that they could make themselves rich by declar- ing a half dollar a dollar. The Ameri- can people want what is honest and right, and he had no doubt that h. diana would stand in line with the com- mon sense of the people and speak for integrity in public and private affairs. At Martinsville 8 crowd of about 5000 people was gathered to greet General Harrison, and gaily decorated stand had been erected near the station. To this General Harrison was led amid loud cheering and was introduced by Judge Crubbs, member of his old reg iment In his speech here General Har- rison paid his respects to that plank of the democratic platform denouncing the interference of federal troops in state affairs, and recalled the Chicago riots that had brought forth this plank He called attention to MT. Bryan's de- fense of this plank, and declared that great evils were likely to come from the election of a man who entertained such ideas of the preservation of public order
 Evansville, Ind, Oct. 20.-At Worth ington where there had been big pa rade General Harrison addressed 10000 people. In his address General Harri- son referred to Mr. Bryan's remarks
