CINCINNATI. Oct 22.-One continuous
ovation marked the passage of President
William Mckinley over the state Of
Indiana and the part of OHIO he
traversed to this city. Defy1ng the
wind and rain of Il most disagreeable
October day, the citizens of these states
have congregatea i'll great numbers at
different stations along the line. The
president graclously appeared to speak
few words to his constituents and re-
ceive their approving cheers.
Perhaps the most imposing demon
stration of the day was at Indianapolis,
where the streets through which the
president was driven to the state house
were jammed with cheering people.
Here, on the steps of the state capitol,
almost within the shadow of the statue
of Thomas A. Hendricks, the president
delivered one of the most striking and
eloquent address of his long western
tour. In the course of it he paid grace
full tribute to the memory of Hendricks
and referred also to ex-President Har-
rison, both of which references were
received by the people with deafening
applause.

old baby was handed over the railing OF
the rear platform into the arms of Sec.
rotary Wilson, who presented to the
president his youngest namesake-
William Mckinley. Another humor-
Gus incident was when Secretary Will
son was introduced, a ter the president
had finished his remarks at Corners
vile. Twice Mr.. Wilson commenced
to speak and twice he was interrupted
by the starting of the train Then Sec
rotary Gage shouted: .'The eloquence
of the secretary of agriculture starts
the wheels going" Amid great laugh
ter Mr.. Wilson then concluded his brief
address and the train pulled out.
When the presidential train reached
Cincinnati it was transferred in the
suburbs from the tracks OF the Cincin.
natl, Hamilton and Dayton railway to
those of the Baltimore and Ohio South
western. After the train was trans
ferred at the intersection of these rail-
ways it backed into the Union station,
where the president bowed his acknowl-
edgements to the crowd that was III
waiting, but made no speech. Con.
gresham Shattuck and party of citi-
zens boarded the tram and shook hands
with the president, but the stop was
only long enough for Captain w. w.

more and Ohio Southwestern, Superin.

and a number OF newspaper men to
board the train and accompany the
president and his party as far as Column.
