Fort Wayne. Ind, Oct. So.-Gen. Harri-
sons train made it's first stop at Green
4 4ed at $3.50. Large delegations vending
their way toward the city were passed on
the wav and a crowd of waiting people
was found at the station. Gen. Harri-
son was led to a stand and spoke for
twenty minutes, devoting much of his at
#tention TO the benefits farmers had gained
4 from reciprocity treaties.
AT Kingstown the people of Henry
4 bounty had arranged for an all-day rally.
z with a big agricultural parade and
speeches in the afternoon by Gen. Cyrus
Bussey and Hon. Fred +. Holloway. From
4 lO0OO to 1900 people were packed in the
square. and as many more seemed to be
unable TO get within hailing distance of
the speakers. The crowd was enthusiasts
tic 10 a degree and its cheering was re-
& doubled when a bunch of yellow Marechal
q Neil roses was handed up to Gen. Harri
son on Nhe stand.
After leaving Knightstown a fast run
was made to Anderson, where an assem-
blage, estimated at from 5000 to $1,000,
welcomed him. The republicans of Madi-
son county had made the coming of Gen.
Harrison the occasion of their big county
rally, and during the morning, before he
arrived, they had an industrial parade
that required nearly two hours to pass a
given point. The same stand from which
Bryan spoke last week had been erected
in the great open field near the station,
and gathered upon the grassy slopes were
acres of people, hardly a tenth of them
able to get near enough to hear a word,
but they cheered as Gen. Harrison was
driven to the stand through the avenue
that had been roped off. Again he was
given an ovation when he reached the
stand. Hespoke to workingmen and dwelt
at length upon the theory that free silver
and an imitation of the currency would
operate as reduction of their income.
AT Muncie the streets were packed all
the way from the railroad to tn court
but an incident occurred during the morn
ing that had keyed the republicans up to
the high pitched. The announcement
that Gen. Harrison was to speak from the
stand at the court house had drawn to-
gether great crowd Of people who had
taken up positions near the stand and
were holding them during the morning
until he should come. With a foreknowl-
edge of this condition of affairs, the DEM
ocrats had brought Eugene Debs to town
and he suddenly appeared and made
speech from the court house steps. The
intention was to have him speak from the
same stand as Gen. Harrison, but the
republicans guarded the stand and would
not permit him to mount 1t. This am
ouseade aroused the wrath as we'll as the
enthusiasm of the republicans and they
were hardly accountable for the almost
renzied enthusiasm they displayed for
Gen. Harrison upon his arrival. He was
escorted through the crowded streets to
The stand, where he found the big square
packed with people cheering themselves
hoarse. The ovation given him upon his
appearance lasted five minutes. He spoke
hat an hour, addressing himself largely
10 the tariff
AT Winchester, where nothing of very
great magnitude had been expected, Gen.
harrison encountered one of the greatest
demonstrations of the day. The visit of
Gen Harrison had been made the occs-
SION for the final rally of the campaign.
Inc people began to pour in early in the.
morning, and by the time the big parade
started the managers of the demonstra-
Ton estimated that from 10000 to $4,000
people We're on the ground. A parade
headed by 300 veterans OF the war, march
ca through the streets of the little city
ana was over an hour in passing. Gen.
harrison was taken in a carriage to the
court mouse square, where he spoke for
twenty minutes to as many as could hear
nun devoting himself largely to the sill
yer question.

portland was scheduled for the longest
sop OF the day, and the event was made a
seneral rally for all that section. A tent
nhololng 5000 people had been provided for
dle meeting, but not one third of the crowd
souid get into 1t. In the morning an in
1ustrlal parade that stretched out over
lour miles of road, marched about the
own and surrounding country. Before the
arrival OF the train an unfortunate scheme
