INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 2O.-Several
hundred people were at the Union Sta
tion this morning when the train ear
rying General Harrison on his two
days stumping tour of the southern
part Of Indiana departed at 8 o'clock.
The General was accompanied by Col
cnel Nebecker, Colonel James and Pri-
vate Secretary Libott. The crowd
waited for q few minutes. and then
some one started a cry for Harrison.
It was Immediately taken up by the
remainder of the crowd, and General
Harrison responded by stepping to the
platform and raising his silk hat. He
said nothing, however, and returned to
his car.
At the Hamlet of Paragon several
hundred people stopped the train, and
General Harrison came out long enough
to greet them with a word.
AT Spencer he was greeted by about
G,uOO people, and made an adress of
fifteen minutes, devoted entirely to the
currency question.
1t was a big day for Worthington. A
procession of uniformed marching clubs
and decorated wagons, headed by a
Tippecanoe log cabin, paraded the
streets, and it was estimated that 90
600 people were in line though not
more than half of them heard General
Harrison's speech. In his address he
referred to Bryan's remarks about
"JCykell and Hyde" He said he had
no disposition to retaliate in the use
Of opprobrious epithets. This remark
of Mr.. Bryan's showed that he had
possibly lost his temper and he was
very sure that in making it he had
lost his sense of the proprieties Of the
great position to which he aspired.
Lunch was served on the train after
leaving Worthington, but was not fin
ished, for large crowd of coal miners
had gathered at Bushrod, a station
with but one house in it, and General
Harrison left the lunch table to talk
to them. He appealed to them as wage
carriers, and explained that in a time
of fluctuation of the values of currency
the man who works for wages is always
the one to suffer first and most.
Brief stops were made at Sunborn and
at Edwardsport, where something over
g. thousand people were addressed for
u few minutes.
At VincenneS there was a tremend-
Gus crowd. A stand had been erected
in an open field near the station, and
10000 people surged over two or three
acres of ground in their efforts to get
near enough TO see and hear. General
arrisOn made am earnest speech of
thirty minutes, during which he argued
the money question as thoroughly as
the limited time would permit
At the next stop, Princeton, a gather
ing i'll excess of anything that had
been encountered was met with. Two
thousand men met the train at the
station, and followed General Harri-
sons carriage half mile to the fair
grounds, where a crowd of people es-
tinated at from 10000 to $4,000 had
been waiting several hours. The am
pitheater, holding 5000 people, held
but small section Of the crowd that
spread and jostled and pushed over
the ground in front. The gold-colored
bunting pervaded and covered every
thing. Gold-colored hats, sashes and
belts were everywhere, and hundreds
of the girls and women wore waists of
yellow cloth. General Harrison's speech
was of about forty minutes in length,
and more elaborate than any he had
yet made.
The train arrived at Evansville
shortly after o'clock and was met
ton. General Harrison remained in
his car and had supper After supper
Il big street demonstration was given
] owns as far away as MOut Vernon.
H., and Owensboro, Ky, had contribu-
ted their quota to the crowds and their
delegations to the parade.
General Harrison spoke at Evans
Vile at the largest auditorium in the
city, which was utterly inadequate.
When the thousands of people who had
witnessed the parade or part of 1t
sGrged about the hall they found it al
ready packed to the doors. General
Harrison was introduced by C. D.
Bruler.
In this, the principal speech of the
day, General Harrison devoted himself
chiefly to an argument against cheap
money.
After the address the party retired to
the train and were carried to New AL
hany. where the return journey to In
