Spencer, Ind, Oct. 20-Gen. Benjamin
Harrison this morning began the first Of
the tours that he will make over Indiana
soil during the campaign and was favor
ed with beautiful weather.
His train consisted of two private cars
loaned by r. b. +. Pierce, of the Glover
Leaf road, and with the ex-President wero
a number Of prominent Indiana politi-
clans and personal friends. The train was
cheered as II left the union station at
indianapolis at o'clock. and the days
work began before the party had gotten
fairly out of town.
AT the belt crossing, west of the city,
several hundred people had gathered and
the train was stopped for them. Mr.. Har-
rison was Justify cheered as he appeared
at the rear platform.
The free silver and cheap dollar fall
lacy, as he described It, formed the bur-
then of his brief speech. The next stop
was at Mooresville, where a crowd of
about eight hundred people had gathered.
and the station was gay with flags and
bunting No time was wasted with intro
ductions, as the time was brief. Gen.
Harrison appeared and was given an ova-
tion. lie plunged at once into his speech,
which also was upon financial topics
chiefly.
AT Martnsville a crowd of about 5000
people was gathered to greet Gen. Harri-
son, and a gaily decorated stand had been
erected near the station. To this Gen.
Harrison was led amid loud cheering, and
was introduced by Judge Grubbs mem-
Der of his old regiment. In his speech
here Gen. Harrison paid his respects to
that plank Of the democratic platform
denouncing the interference of federal
troops in state affairs, and recalled the
Chicago riots had brought forth this
plank. He called attention to Mr.. Bry-
ans defense of this plank, and declared
that great evils were likely to come from
the election of a man who entertained
such ideas of the preservation Of public
order
AT the hamlet of Paragol, several hum
dred people stopped the train, and Gen.
Harrison came out long enough to greet
them with n word. He noticed many
women in the crowd and admonished
them to see that their husbands did their
duty.
At Spencer he was greeted by about 5000
people, and made an address of fifteen
minutes, devoted entirely to the silver
question.
At Worthington a crowd Of equal pro-
portions had gathered and the enthusi-
asm ran high
The train arrived at Evansville shortly
after o'clock and was met by great
crowd OF people at the station. Gen. Har-
rison remained in his car and had sup
per. Later a big street demonstration
was given, with 5000 men In line.
Gen. Harrison spoke In Evans hall, the
largest auditorium in this city, which was
utterly inadequate. He was received with
wild demonstrations Of delight when he
appeared and was introduced by G. A.
Debruler. In this, the principal speech
OF the day, Gen. Harrison addressed him
self chiefly to an argument against cheap
money, in the effort to convince the peo-
pie that values cannot be created by leg
islation.
After the address. the party returned
to the train, and were carried TO New
Albany, where the return journey to In
dianapolis will be begun tomorrow.
Evansville, Ind, Oct. 2O.--It was a big
day for worthington. A procession OF
uniformed marching clubs. cavalry COM
panies and decorated wagons, headed by
Tippecanoe log cabin, about eight miles
long, had been parading the town, and II
was estimated that 10000 people were in
town, although not more than half OF
them heard the speech In his address
here Gen. Harrison referred to Bryan's
remarks about the Jekylls and Hydes.
He said he had no disposition to retail
late in the use Of opprobrious epithets.
This remark of Mr. Bryan showed that
he had possibly lost his temper, and no
was very sure that In making 1t, he had
lost his sense OF the proprieties OF the
great position to which he aspired.
After the Worthington stop. lunch was
served on the train but It was not finish
ed for a crowd Of about 800 coal miners
had gathered at Bush Rod, and Gen. Har-
rlson appealed to them as wage-earners
and explained that in time Of fiuctua-
tlon Of values OF currency the man who
work for wages Is always the one to
suffer first and suffer most.
Brief stops were made at Sanborn, ana
at Edwardsport, where over 1000 people
were addressed for a few minutes.
At Nncennes a tremendous crowd was
encountered. A stand has been erected
IN an open field, near the station, and the
crowd Of 5000 people surged over the two
or three acres OF ground in their efforts
to get near enough TO see and hear. Gen.
Harrison made an Intensely earnest
speech Of thirty minutes, I'm the course Of
which he argued the silver question as
thoroughly as the limited time would per-
nit
At Princeton n couple Of thousand peo-
pie met the train at the station and fol-
lowed Gen. Harrison's carriage TO the fair
grounds. where from 10000 to 1900 people
had been waiting several hours. Gen. Har-
rison's speech at this point was about for
ty minutes IN length and more elaborate
than any he had made during the day. He
reviewed not only the silver question, but
the other issues brought up by the Chi
cago PLATFORM and pointed out the dam
gers to public peace and order that might
arise from it's success at the polls. He de-
clared that Mr.. Bryan was the kind OF
man who would make good his word to
carry out every plank OF this dangerous
platform II he should be elected.
