CINcINNATI. oct 29.-There could
have been no doubt of the warmth OF
Cincinnau's welcome tonight to the
man to whom she expects to give the
biggest vote and the biggest plurality
in her history.
The demonstration for Senator
Harding was overwhelmingly enthusi-
astic. tending TO corroborate the judg-
ment that he will carry Hamilton
county and the city Of Cincinnati By
10000 or more.
From the time the senator appeared
the streets this afternoon until he
'etired TO his rooms in the Sinton Ho-
e late tonight he was the recipient
Of such testimonials of the public re-
ipect and affection as few men ever
get. 1t is scarcely possible to over
state the quality of his welcome.
More than 100 900 persons who sa-
lpted him as he passed through the
streets or who heard his addresses in
and near Music Hall seemed deter
mined to make him realize that none
Of the malice and yiciousness en-
ployed against him in this State by
Democratic managers have had tho
slightest effect and that they have
brought about, indeed. strong re-
lction in his favor.
Cheering Throngs Gather.
The Senator was met az the Union sta
ION here by committee which included
'harles T. Taft, Col. William Cooper
Proctor, Representative Nicholas Long
worth Mayor John Calvin, r. X. Hynica,
National Committeeman Miss Cora Box
and Miss Marie Costello. The journey to
the Snton was through thousands OF
cheering folks massed IN Fourth and in
srsectlng streets. After dining at the
Snton the Senator was escorted TO the
Music Han by the famous Blaine Club
and by other Republican clubs of Hamil-
on county in an old fashioned political
parade. There was red fire from ono
md Of the city TO the other. and even
the hi'ltops were lurid with It.
In Music HALL where l2e00 persons
vent 20 their feet in a spontaneous OUT
burst of respect the Senator spoke for
an hour and then talked to an overflow
oceJing near by which numbered almost
as many persons as could wedge into the
! hall. They said Cincinnati never was
so iammed with visitors as Il IS tonight
and that no public man appearing here
in the course Of a political campaign
ever received n finer welcome.
Senator Harding took his audience in
Music Hah by storm when he answered
this quer from the audience: why
didn't the Republican Congress give the
service n N the bonus?"
The House passed the bonus" said
the Senator. The Senate had it under
consideration. / think no doubt il Will
