Special Dispatch to The Call.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 21.-One continu-
Gus ovation has marked the passage OF
President William Mckinley to-day
over the States of Indiana and Ohio.
Defying the wind and rain Of most
disagreeable October day, the citizens
of these States have congregated in
great numbers at every station along
the line, and never have they been dis
appointed, for the President has gra-
ciously appeared at every point where
crowds awaited his coming, to speak
few words to his constituents and re-
ceive their approving cheers.
Perhaps the most imposing demon
stratIon of the day was at Indianapo-
lis, where the streets through which the
President was driven to the State
house were damned with cheering peo-
pie. 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 addresses on his
long Western tour. In the course or
it he paid graceful tribute to the MEM
DRY 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 gathered to hear him, and conse-
quently the special train to-day was
sometimes far behind the schedule
time, but under the direction or Dave
n. Bell, who is in charge OF the train,
the lost time was largely made up by
fast running.
AT Connorsville, Ind, a 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-Wll-
liam Mckinley. Another humorous in
cident was when Secretary Wilson was
introduced after the President had I'm
ished his remarks at Connorsville.
Twice Mr. Wilson commenced to speak
and twice he was interrupted by the
starting of the train. Then Secretary
Gage shouted: The eloquence of the
Secretary of Agriculture starts the
Amid great laughter Mr.. Wilson then
concluded mis- brief. address and the
train pulled out.
President Mckinley was in this city
for two hours to-day. His visit brought
to the city an immense crowd of stran-
gers. and all the city itself seemed to
have turned out to give him welcome.
The public schools suspended for the
forenoon and all the pupils of the
grammar grades occupied University
Park round which the Presidential
party passed in procession. The Presi-
dent was accompanied by his wife and
by Secretary of the Treasury Gage,
Secretary Of the Interior Bliss, Post
master General Smith and Mrs. Smith,
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and
Miss Wilson, Assistant Secretary of
War Meiklejohn, ]. A: Porter. private
secretary to the President. and Assist
ant Private Secretary Cortelyou.
The Presidential party disembarked
at Washington and Noble streets, on
the eastern side of the city. entered
open carriages and drove to the Capitol
grounds.
At the Capitol grounds Senator Fair
banks introduced the President, who
said:
