dOus footing OF whistles and firing OF cannon

ner's Park was packed with people to such
degree that It was difficult to force way
through It for the carriages Of the distinguished

the rear platform OF his car he was greeted with
loud cheers. 1t took time to get him TO the
park, and more time. after he arrived there. TO
force passage through the dense throng TO the
stand. The crowd had been contributed to by
Louisville and points north. and was estimated
at from 25.OO0 TO 10000 people. The enthusiasm
was Of the intense sort. General Harrison ad-
dressed himself particularly to the workingmen.

planning they were the first to suffer from a
