DISAGREEABLE OCTOBER DAY
DEMONSTRATION AT INDIANAPOLIS

Cincinnati, October 21.-One continuous ovation marked the passage of President Mckinley today over the state of Indiana and Ohio. Despite the wind and rain of a most disagreeable October day, the citizens of these states congregated in great num- bers at every station along the line and never were they disappointed for the presi- dnt graciously appeared at every point where crowds awaited his coming to speak a few words.
 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 damned 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 strik- ing and eloquent addresses of his long west ern tour. In the course of it he paid grace full tribute to the memory of Hendricks, and also to Ex-Presdent Harrison, both of which references were received by the peo- pie with deafening applause.
 At Connersvile, Ind, a two-months-old baby was handed over the railing of the platform into the arms of Secretary Wilson pho presented it to the president, his youngest namesake-William Mckinley.
 The presidents speech at Noblesville was as follows:
 Speech at Noblesville
 ''This is a most inspiring spectacle. Pres ent here this morning are all your civic bodies, the old soldiers and the new soldiers and all of the people. Such a sight as this could scarcely be witnessed anywhere else. You are here because you are interested in your country. You are here because you love your country. You are here because you rejoice in the splendid victories of OUT army and navy on the land and the sea. And you are here because you rejoice afsthe suspension of hostilities, the return of many or your boys to their homes and the hope and belief that you will soon re- ceive a lasting and triumphant peace rest ing on justice, righteousness and humanity.
 Here none are for a party, but all are for the state; here the democrats and re- pnblicans and men of all parties have. as- sembled to show their appreciation of the services rendered by the army and the navy of the United States. tApplause.) And no nation ever had more splendid army. Two hundred thousand of the bravest young men within thirty days of the call of the president responded ready to march anywhere-at home abroad, beneath the folds of the glorious old banner, of the free Great cheering) and did any nation in the world ever have better navy? (Cries of 'No.'o It was small, but 1t was mas terful (Applause.) Now, my fellow cit izens, rejoicing as we do over the victories of war, let us be careful in justice and right to gather the triumphs of peace The soldiers have done their part. The citi- zens must do theirs. And I pray God that wisdom may be given all of us to settle this vexed and vast problem as to bring honor to our country, justice to humanity and the general good of all.''
 The president then introduced Secretary Gage, who spoke briefly.
 Address at Nashville
 The following is the speech of the presi- dent at Nashville, Ind.
 I've have very much to be grateful for as a nation and a people. Providence has been very kind to us. We have been through a war which lasted only little more than 100 days. War, happily, not on our own but. on distant shores. And In that short period we sent out boys ana your contribution was among them, 1000 miles by sea. And vet in that short period we have achieved victory which will be memor- able in history. There has been nothing like it recorded in military annals. NOW, having triumphed in war we must be sure that we shall see that justice and righteous ness and humanity shall prevail in the set
  with you; for government like ours the people constitute the power of the gov ernment It rests and resides with you and your will is the command to congress and to the executive and is at last central ized into public law and public policy. lAp- plause) I am glad to know that my countrymen are thinking of the serious problems that are before lem and before us and I pray God we may have the WIS dom to settle them with the same humanity that our soldiers fought our great batties. (Applause.) .s. {. At Connersville, President Mckinley saiu .aThe mercifulness of the war through which we have passed was one of the trl- umphs of American civilization. There was more humanity in 1t, more humane treat ment of our adversary than had propapiy eyer characterized previous war. For ex- ample, we sent medicine to the sick be- fore we sent our men of war over. we sent succor to the suffering before We sent our squadron, and the sweet charity ot the American people preceded the armored cruisers of the country. And when 1t was all over, the victorious commanders said to the adversary:
 "Take your side arms not your side arms and go home, but take your side arms and we will send you home (Applause). Heroism and Humanity
 "So that so far as the war was concerned, we not only displayed great heroism, but we manifested great humanity, anu trust that in the final settlement of that conflict humanity will triumph just as humanity in the war;
