CINCINNATI, Oct. 21-One contin-
uous ovation has marked the passage
of President Mckinley to-day over the
States of Indiana and Ohio. Defying
the wind and rain of a most disagree
able October day, the citizens of these
States have congregated in great num-
/ bers at every station alCng the itue
and never have they been disappointed
| for the President has graciously ap-
peared at every point where crowds
awaited his coming, to speak few
words to his constituents and receive
their approving cheers.
| Perhaps the most imposing demon
stration of the day was at Indian
apolis, where the streets through which
the President was driven to the State
House were jammed 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 of mis-
long Western tour. In the course of ii
he paid a, graceful tribute to the mem
ory 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
consequently the special train to-day
was sometimes far behind the schedule
time, but under the direction of Dave
n. Bell, who is in charge of the train,
the lost time was largely made up by
fast running.
AT Col1norsville, Ind, two months
old baby was handed over the railing
of the rear platform into the arms OF
| Secretary Wilson,wh presented TO the
President his youngest namesake-
| William Mckinley.
Another humorous incident was when
Secretary Wilson was introduced after
: the President had finished his remarks
1t Connorsville. Twice Mr.. Wilson
emmenced to speak, and twice he was
Interrupted by the starting of the
train. Then Secretary Gage shouted:
1.-The eloquence of the Secretary of
Agriculture starts the wheels golng'
Amid great laughter Mr.. Wilson then
| concluded his brief address, and the
| AT NOBLESVILLE.
NOBLESVILLE Qnd), Oct. 21.-
| President Mckinley to-day addressed
two immense audiences before he had
| breakfast at Logansport and Kokomo
AT the latter place the scene was one
of the most inspiring of the tour In
spite of the dampness and cold wind
! that swept down from the north. the
crowd was enormous. Hundreds Of
school children were in evidence, each
provided with a flag and all giving
lusty cheers for the President.
The booming of cannon and shrek
ing of steam whistles reused the Presi-
dent from sleep shortly after 6, and at
{ he spoke to 5000 people at Logans-
| port. The President was introduced
by Senator Fairbanks He said:
My Fellow citizens: About week
| ago 1 entered your State at s o'clock
in the morning, and was greeted by
thousands Of people in the city OF
| Tefre Haute. An hour earlier | meet
this great throng of my fellow-country-
men. But since Dewey entered Manila
Bay on that early morning in May
there has been no hour too early for
the people of the United States to as
semble and rejoice over national vic
tories and manifest their desire for an
| honorable peace.
THE flag never seemed so dear te
| US as it does now, and it never floated
over so many places as it does now. ]
! have rejoiced as I have journeyed
| through the country at the patriotism
| of the people. The flag of our country
| is in every Americans hand, and l'atri-
otism is in every American heart That
! is a good omen for our country Oul
| army and our navy have been one
! brilliant service, have added new hon
/ ors to the American name, given q
/ new meaning to American valor, ano
! 1t only remains for US, the people. who
| in country like ours are masterfu
when they speak, to do the rest and
| write into an honorable treaty the just
| fruits of this war.
| Il thank you for this call, and bic
you all good-morning."
AT KoKoMo.
Kokomo was reached at 1:30 anG
here the President was warmly cheereo
by gathering that seemed wholly out
! of proportion to the size of the town
The President spoke as follows:
/ My Fellow-citizens: / thank you
| most sincerely for your warm and
| cordial welcome. I do not misinter-
pret its meaning. It means that the
people of this community are STANDING
together for country and for civiliza-
| ton. The war has made us a united
people. We present a spectacle of i5..
| 100000 of people, representing ever,
race and nationality and section, unit
! ed in one faith and under one flag. an6
| that, the glorious old Stars and Stripes
we love so much. And we must con.
| tinue to stand together. When we have
no differences with another natien
then it will be time for us to resume
our old disputes at home. But unit
that time we must stand for a common
purpose, and stand together until the
/ settlements of the war shall be EN-.
| bodied into the permanent form o]
| a public treaty.
I'VE commenced the war, not fol-
! gain or greed or new possessions. We
| commenced it for freedom and to re-
lieve our neighbors of oppression, anG
| having accomplished that, we mus1
assume all the responsibilities thai
