AT NEW
Train Was an Hour Late, but the
Crowd Was Enthusiastic.

Gen. William Crosse, Judge Eugene
Bundy, DR.. J. +. Thompson, L. ?. Mitchell,
II. L. Mullen and w. P. Book, a committee
representing the G.. A. r. and county GEN.
trail committee OF New Castle, escorted the
party from Muncie to New Castle. It was
already growing late when the party ar
rived, the train being an hour behind time,
and the carriages containing the party were
driven at q rapid trot to the Bundy House,
opposite the courthouse. The speaking was
from the balcony of the hotel. A crowd
of about four thousand people had re-
manned after the big demonstration earlier.
Henry u. Johnson and Thomas A. Boyd
addressed the first meetings of the day.
1t is estimated that twelve thousand people
were in New Castle during the day, either
marching in the parade or standing as
spectators. The crowd at New Castle,
when the generals arrived, while not SO
large as those at Anderson, Marion and
Muncie. was alive with enthusiasm and
cheered for Mckinley at the slightest
provocation while the members of the party
spoke.

NIGHT DEMONSTRATION.
Big Parade and Monster Meetings at
richmond.

The day ended here. The Mayor of the
city, with a carload of citizens, met the
generals at New Castle, whittier they went
on a special train. On the arrival of the
party here the members were at once hur-
ried into carriages and were driven to the
Westcott House for dinner. In front of
the carriages marched an escort of soldiers
headed by Il band. 1t was already dark,
but hundreds, or rather thousands. of peo-
pie thronged the sidewalks and crowded
out into the street along the line of march,
which extended past the hotel on to the
market house, past the courthouse, and by
countermarching back to the hotel. Along
the line of march through the principal
streets colored fires were burning, the
many hues of the blazing stuff lighting up
the marchers and carriages in Il wierd and
picturesque manner. The places of bus
mess and private residences were extern
sively and deliberately decorated. While
there was no demonstration during the
day, hundreds of people from the sur
rounding country drove in. anticipating
that something of interest might occur,
and by the time of the parade at night the
town was filled to Overt1oWing.
Nothing like the parade was ever seen in
this city before. All the ward clubs, the
~railroaders' sound-money club, old soldiers,
~bicyclistS. horsemen, bands and drum and
bugle corps marched in what seemed to be
an endless array. The line was about a
half hour in passing a given point. Among
the parties to come to Richmond was one
of a hundred people from Winchester ac-
companied by the Lynn brass band in full
uniform, Hawthorne's martial band and the
gold bugle club.
This evening two immense public meet
ings were held. a tent capable
of holding ten thousand people was filled
with a crowd that equaled any of the day
for the intensity of its enthusiasm. Beside
the meeting in the tent there was an over
flow meeting at Phillips Opera House. 1t
was well attended. At the tent speeches
We're made by Generals Howard, Sickles,
Alger and Stewart. while Col. l. N. Walker,
of indianapolis, Major Burst. of Illinois,
and Generals Alger. Marden and H. .rd
spoke at the opera house.
The party viii remain here over night and
will leave for Rushville tomorrow.
