Cincinnati, Oct 21-One continuous
ovation has marked the passage OF
= President William Mckinley today
over the states of Indiana and Ohio
Defying the wind and rain Of most
disagreeable October day, the citizens
of these states have eongregated II
great numbers at every station along
the line and never have they been dis
appointed. for the president has
graciously appeared at every point
where crowds awaited his coming, &c
speak q few words to his constituents
and receive 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 TANNED with cheering people
Here on the steps of the state capitol,
almost within the shadow of the statue
of Thomas \. Hendricks, the president
delivered one of the most striking and
eloquent addresses on his long western
tour. In the course of ii he paid
graceful tribute TO the memory of
Hendricks and referred also TO eX-
President Harrison, both of which
references were received with the most
deafening applause.
The train stopped at every point
where any considerable crowd of peO-
pie were gathered to hear the presl-
dent and consequently 4 train
was some times far bel the schedule
time, but under the direction of Dave
n. Bell. who is in charge of the train,
the lost time was largely made up by
fast running
AT Conc0rdville, Ind, two months
old baby was handed over the railing
of the rear platform into the arms OF
Secretary Wilson, who presented TO
the president his youngest namesake
William Mckinley.
Another humorous incident was
when Secretary Wilson was introduced
after the president had finished his
remarks at Connorsville. Twice Mr..
Wilson, commenced 70 speak and twice
he was interrupted by the starting Of
the train. Then Secretary Gage
shouted:
The elouuence of tho secretary of
agriculture starts the whole thing
Amid great laughter, Mr.. Wilson then
concluded his brief address and the
train pulled out.
REVIVAL OF PATRIOTISM.
The booming of cannon and shrieking
of steam whistles reused the president
from sleep shortly after and at Z
he spoke to 5000 people at LOgansport.
Kokorlo was reached at 1880 and here
the president was warmly cheered by
a gathering that seemed wholly out OF
proportion to the size of the town. At
Upton. which was the next stop, the
president spoke in part as follows;
MY fellow citizens, we have lately
had such a revival of patriotism in this
country as we have never had since
the earliest day of our history. North
and south are now together brought;
they in peace a common flag salute,
and in war follow a common haS,
willing TO die beneath its folds. Cap

done for the people of the United
states. What it has done for other
people is yet to be determined, and as
7 look into your faces. 1 know that you
would have this nation help the OPP
dressed people who have by the war
been brought within the sphere of
orr influence" Great applauSe-)
The firing of a cannon in honor of the
presidential visit at Kokomo was at
Tended with disastrous results. James
Tones was instantly killed by its pre-
nature explosion, and another was
seriously injured and may die.
