SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TOUR
In the Principal Speech of the Day
the Statesman Argues Against
Cheap Money.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Oct. 20.-Severa
hundred people were at the Union station
to-day when the special train carrying
General Harrison on his two days stump
ing tour of the southern portion of
Indiana, departed at 8 o'clock. The
general was accompanied by Colonel B.
H. Nebekeru, w. L. Ketcham and Private
Secretary Tibbott. The crowd waited
quietly for few minutes and then some
one started cry for Harrison" 1t was
Immediately taken up by the remainder
of the crowd, and General Harrison re-
sponded 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 word. At Spencer
he was greeted by about 5000 people, and
made an address of fifteen minutes, de-
voted entirely to the currency question.
1t was a big day for Worthington. A
procession of uniformed marching clubs
and decorated wagons. headed by Tippe-
canoe log cabin, paraded the streets. and
it was estimated that 10000 people were
them heard General Harrison's speech. In
his address he referred 10 Bryan's remarks
about Jekylls and Hydes. He said he had
no disposition to retaliate IN the use OF
opprobrious epithets. This remark of Mr..
Bryan showed that he had possibly lost
his temper, and he was very sure that in
making it he had lost his sense of the pro-
prieties of the great position to which he
aspired.
After the Worthingron stop lunch was
served on the train, but it was not finished,
for crowd of about 1900 coal-miners had
gathered ct Bushrod, station with but
one house IN it, and General Harrison lett
the lunch table to talk to them. He ap-
Dealed to them as wage-earners, and ex-
planned that in time of huctuation 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
1000 were addressed for a few minutes.
At Vincennes there was q tremendous
crowd. A stand had been erected in an
open field near the station, and the crowd
of 5000 people surged over two or three
acres of ground in their efforts to get near
enough to see and hear. General Harri-
son made an intensely earnest speech of
thirty minutes, in the course of which he
argued the money question as thoroughly
as the limited time would permit. At the
next stop, Princeton, a gathering in
excess of anyi hing that had been encoun-
tered was met with.
Two thousand men met the train at the
station and followed General Harrison's
carriage, half mile. to the fair grounds,
where a crowd of people. estimated at
from 10000 to $4,000. had been waiting
several hours. Tne ami phitheater, hold
ing 5000 people. held but small section
of the crowd that spread and iostled and
pushed over the ground in front. The
gold-colored bunting pervaded and COW
cred everything. Gold-colored hats,
sashes and belts were everywhere and
hundreds of the girls and women wore
waists of yellow cloth. General Harri-
sons speech at this point was about forty
minutes in length and more elaborate
than any he had made during the day.
The train arrived at Evansville shortly
after 6 o'clock and was met by a great
crush of people at the station. General
Harrison remained in his car and had
supper. After supper big street demon
stration was given. Towns as far away as
Melvornin, ILL.,. and Owensboro. KY, had
contributed their quota to the crowds and
their delegations to the parade.
General Harrison spoke in Evans Hall,
the largest auditorium in the city, which
was utterly inadequate. When the thou
sands OF people who had witnessed the
r,nr rod ~ Of III
they found it already packed to the doors
General Harrison was introduced by G. A.
Debruler. In this, the principal speech of
the day, Mr.. Harrison addressed himself
chiefly to an argument against cheap
money. After the address the party re-
tired to the train and were carried to New
Albany, where the return journey to In
dianapolis will be begun tomorrow.
