chief Magistrate at Kokomo, Ind,
James Jones Was Killed and Another
Man Perhaps Fatally Injured.
Cincinnati, Oct 22.-One continuous
ovation marked the passage of Presi-
dent Mckinley yesterday over the
states of Indiana and Ohio. Defying
the wind and rain of most disagree
able October day. the citizens of these
states congregated in great numbers
at every station along the line, and
never were they disappointed, for the
president appeared at every point to
speak a few words to his constituents.
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
We're jammed with cheering people.
Here, on the steps Of the state capitol,
the president delivered one of the most
striking and eloquent addresses of his
long western tour. He was introduced
by Senator Fairbanks, and said
My fellow citizens, I thank you for
the wards of welcome spoken in your
behalf by your distinguished senator
l thank you for this cordial and hearty
greeting at the capitol city Of your
great state. We meet in no party
name; we meet in the name of country
patriotism and peace. 1t gives me pc
cullar pleasure to meet the people OF
the city of the home residence of that il
lustrious statesman and predecessor in
the great presidential office Benjamin
Harrison, and l do not forget in this
presence that this was the home of
that other distinguished Indianan,
Thomas A. Hendricks. Both names are
remembered by all Of you, and both
have been distinguished in the service
of their country
my fellow citizens, we are here to-
day because we love the old flag. It
never went down in defeat, it was
never raised in dlshonor. 1t means
more at this hour than it ever meant
in all our history. 1t floats today
where 1t never foated before Glorious
old banner, the same our grandsires
lifted up, the same our fathers bore.
TN many battles tempest
1t shed the crimson rain,
And what God hath woven in his loom
| No man can break in twain"
| The war has been successful. II
ended in a little over a hundred
| days. Matchless victories on land anC
sea, our army and navy are entitled
| to every honor that a generous peopl.
can bestow. Matchless army and fear
less navy, that have done their part
the rest remains with us.
1.-THE war was inaugurated for hu
manity; 1t must not stop until 1t EN-
braces humanity 1t was not com
menced in bitterness, 1t was not com
menced in malice; it was commences
in a spirit of humanity, for freedom
and to stop oppression in a neighbor
ing island. We cannot shirk the OBJ
legations of victory If we would, an
we would not II we could. Happy ar
all free peoples, too strong to be dis
possessed, but blessed are they anon
nations who dare to be strong for tn
r oppressed.
