terms of peace.
II recall with peculiar satisfaction
this morning, as / look into the face
of my countrymen from Indiana, the
promptness with which your people
responded to the calls Of the President
after the declaration Of war. Within
twenty-four hours from the receipt OF
that call, your quota was filled and
in camp and $1,000 young men more
ready to enlist under the banner Of
freedom.
II thank you all this morning, in
the name of the nation, for your patri-
otic devotion to the country, and bid
you all goodmorning."

AT Upton.
At Upton, which was the next stop,
the President spoke in part as follows:
MY fellow citizens: We have late
ly 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 own the same electric
thought, in peace common flag sa-
lutte, and in war follow common flag,
willing to die beneath its folds Gap
plause) That is what the war has
done for the people OF the United
States. What it has done for other
people is yet to be determined, and as
l look into your faces I know that
you would have this nation help the
oppressed people who have by the war
been brought within the sphere of our
influence" Great applause)
AT INDIANAPOLIS.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 21.-President
Mckinley was in this city for two
hours to-day. He arrived at II
o'clock. His visit brought to the city
an immense crowd of strangers, and all
of the city itself seems to have turned
out to give him welcome.
The Presidential party disembarked
at Washington and Noble streets, on
the eastern side of the city, entered
open carriages and drove to the Capt.
tol grounds. The procession was under
the command Of James r. Raids, Grand
Marshal, and composed of police and
civil organizations
At the Capitol grounds Senator Fair
banks introduced the President, who
said:
My fellow citizens: I thank you
for the words of welcome spoken in
your behalf by your distinguished SEN
7 1y dio1 n1
hearty greeting at the capital city Of
your great State. We meet in no party
name: we meet in the name of the
country, of patriotism and of peace.
1t gives me peculiar pleasure to meet
the people of the city of the home res
idence of that illustrious statesman
and predecessor in the great Presiden-
tial office, Benjamin Harrison, and T
do not forget, in this presence, that
this was the home of that other dis
tingWshed Indianian, Thomas A. Hen
bricks. Both names are remembered
by all of you, and both have been dis
tinguished in the service of their coun-
try.
MY fellow citizens, we are here to-
day because we love the old flag. It
never went down in defeat 1t means
in all our history. 1t floats to-day
where it never f1oated before. Glorious
old banner, the same our grandsres
lifted up, the same our fathers bore.
I'm many a battles tempest it shed the
crimson rain.
And what God hath woven in His loom
no man can break in twain
THE war has been successful 1t
ended in little over a iundred days
For matchless victories on land and sea
our army and navy are entitled to
every honor that a generous people can
beStow. A matchess army and a.
fearless navy have done their part:
the rest remains with us. The war
was inaugurated for humanity; it must
not stop until it embraces humanity.
1t was not commenced in bitterness;
1t was not commenced in malice-t
was commenced in a spirit of human
ity for freedom and to stop oppression.
We cannot shirk the obligations of VIC
tory, If we would, and would not if we
could. Happy are all free peoples, too
strong to be dispossessed, but blessed
are they among nations who dare to
be strong for the oppressed
Following the speeches the procession
was reformed and the President was
escorted to the Union station, where
he took the Cincinnati Hamilton and
