CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 2l.-One contin.
uous ovation has marked the passage OF
President Mckinley today over the states
of Indiana and Ohio. Detying the wind and
rain of most disagreeable October DAY, tne
citizens of these states have congregated IN
great numbers at every station along the
line and never have they been disappointed,
for the president has graciously appeared
coming, to speak a few words to his con-
stituents and receive their approving cheers
Perhaps the most imposing demonstration
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 tho
state capitol, almost within the shadow ot
the statue Of Thomas A. Hendricks, the
president delivered one OF the most striking
and eloquent addresses on 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 Harrison,
both of which references were received by
the people with deafening applause;
The desire of the president is always to
have the train stopped at every point where
any considerable crowd of people are gath
cred to hear him, and consequently the spe
cial train today was sometimes far behind
the schedule time, but under the direction
of Dave N. Bell, who is in charge OF the
train, the lossa time was largely made up by
fast running. :,
Near Seville, Ind, q two months old
baby was handed over the railing of the real
platform into the arms of Secretary Wilson
who presented to the president his young
est namesake-William Mckinley. An
other humorous incident was when Sec
retary Wilson was introduced after the pres
ident had finished his remarks at Connonrs
vile. Twice Mr.. Wilson commenced tc
speak and twice he was interrupted by the
starting of the train. Then Secretary Gage
shouted:
"The eloquence of the secretary of agri
culture starts the wheels going
Amid great laughter, Mr.. Wilson then
concluded his brief address and the train
pulled out.
AT LOGANSPORT
At Logansport the President was intro
duced by Senator Fairbanks. He said:
"My fellow-citizens: About week age
I entered your State at o'clock IN. tht
morning and was greeted by thousands O
people in the city Of Terre Haute. An houl
earlier met this great throng of my fellow
countrymen. But since Dewey entered Ma
Mia Bay on that early morning in May there
has been no hour too early for the people
Of the United States to assemble and re
joice over national victories and manifest
their desire for an honorable peace. Tht
flag g.never seemed so dear to us as it doe:
now. l have rejoiced as have journeyeC
through the country at the patriotism O.
the people. The flag of our country is il
every Americans hand and patriotism is il
every Americans heart. That is .goot
omen for our country. Our army and oul
navy have done brilliant service, have ad
ded new honors to the American name
given new meaning to American valor, ant

such a revival of patriotism in this countr,
