An incident which occurred during tho
morning, had keyed the Republicans vi
to a high pitch. = The annoncemen ent 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 fore
knowledge of this condition of affairs
the Democrats had brought Eugene Debi
to town. He suddenly appeared and
made speech from the Court House
steps. The intention was to have him
speak from the same stand as Gen. Har-
rison. but the Republicans guarded ii
and would not permit him to mount it.
This am buscade aroused the wrath as
well as the enthusiasm of the Repu bill
cans and they displayed almost frenzied
enthusiasm 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

him upon his appearance lasted five
minutes. He spoke half an hour, address
ing himself largely to the tariff.
