General Harrison Tells the Chicago Drummers How It Conspired With the Confederacy.

NORTH WAS TOO MUCH OF A COMPETITOR.

Miss Anna Dickinson Greeted, by a Large and Appreciative Audience.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND., September 22.— This was Chicago day with General HarrieoD. In the morning and early afternoon he was occupied receiving callers. The commercial travelers from Chicago did not arrive until after 4 o'clock. They came by special train in two sections, and were accompanied by the second regiment band of forty pieces. Two hundred members of tho Columbia club escorted the visitors up town. They numbered COO, and displayed great enthusiasm as they marched out to General Harrison's residence. Each drummer carried a large red, white and blue parasol, waving them up and down and cheering almost constantly. The streets along the line of march were crowded with spectators, who gave the Chicago boys a generous greeting as they passed. It was after r, o'clock when the Harrison residence was reached, and a large crowd hud preceded them. As General Harrison appeared on the steps he was tendered an ovation. Colonel H. II. Rude, of Chicago, delivered the address on behalf of his associates. General Harrison in response said:

Within the last rear I have been reading, without any view to politics, ^ur dipllimatlc relations with England during the the civil war. The motive that so strongly Influenced the Kngllsh mind 111 Its sympathy with the South was the expectancy of free trnde wlth the Confederacy. (Cries of 'That Is right, ami ^Ave It to them.")

The ilrutuuiers then entered the house and as they passed through the hallway each one shook hands with both ueneral and Mrs. Harrison and left his card on the adjecent stand. The march bacK to the city was the occasion of repeated demonstrations, and when they formed in line in frout of the Denniscjn hotel at 8 o'clock to return home, their enthusiasm had reached very high pitch.

Many of them were exceedingly hoarse. A portion of the delegation, including Captain J. L. Howe with his wife and daughters, the only ladies in the party, remained over until the late train.

MISS ANNA DICKINSON.

A Itrllllant Scene at Tointinson Hall, Where She Spoke. INDIANAI'OI.IS,

September 22*.—Miss

Anna Dickinson made her third speech in the Indiana campaign in this city tonight. She opened her canvass at Richmond Thursday night and spoke at Muncie last night to a large audience, arriving in Indianapolis at noon. The scene at Tomlinson hall tonight was a brilliant one. All ihe flags and other decorations that embelished the great hall last night when Congressman Mills held the boards, had been removed but in its stead was a thousand beaming faces, surmounted with gaily colored hats and bonnets, scattered through the audience, which numbered about four thousand. It was anticipated that big Democratic parade would seriously affect the attendance but the ladies gallantly came to the rescue and the ovation that Miss Dickinson received when Mr. W. P. Fishback led her down the aisle of the stage, was rarely surpassed. The dignified lady had been feeling quite fatigued and unwell during the afternoon, but as ehe bowed her cordial acknowledgements she was the picture of health, her countenance beaming with smiles. She wore a handsome garnet plush silk suit, cut princess style, the front of pink silk profusely covered with lace. A large cresceut diamond pin and diamond ear rings were her ornaments and after the first burst of applause so strikingly charming was her appearance that the audience, from pure personal admiration, after gazing at her a few

again broke forth' It was her

first appearance in Indianapolis in many years, where in war .ys her face and her voice were familiar to its citizens. There was a certain jaunty military air about the historic lady which was heightened by the side parting of her raven ringlets and a bunch of red, white and blue ribbons on her bosom. To the several hundred gray heads occupying the front seats, it was like going back 2') years to see Miss Dickinson before them again, while the booming of cannon and the tramp of the Democratic host on the outside, the fife and drum resounding everywhere, vividly recalled the war days of Indianapolis, when the streets were nightly thronged with patriotic thousands. It was half-past 8 when Mr. Fishback, in a brief speech reviewing the patriotic work of Miss Dickinson, at the request of President Lincoln, during the war, introduced her as "The prophetess of the Republican party." The speaker with dramatic voice and gesture plunged into the cause leading to the rebellion, and as she moved back and forth, displaying her shapely arms, declaring war on the Democratic party, especially President Cleveland, toward whom she evinced a special antipathy and at t:mes became quite vituperative in her designation of the president. The Republican party, she declared, was ready to accept any gage of battle thrown down to it and would fight even the "Devil in hell."

Mr. John .Jarrett.

In conversation with an iron worker yesterday an EXPKKSS reporter was given some light upon Mr. John Jarrett, who spoke here a week ago Saturday night. While he w»s president of the Amalgamated association he strongly upheld the interests of the order. He refused to sanction in a number of instances the return of men to work under the established scale. Such men as did return to work were displeased at Mr. Jarrett's steadfastness ana have not yet changed their opinions) so as to commend the wisdom of his acts. Mr. Jarrett is a staunch friend of the laborer and his record has always been in consonance with this statement. Abuse of him comes from a source wnich is opposed to organized labor. The members of the A. A. of I. find S. W. in this city hold Mr. Jarrett in the highest esteem and no one in the organization stands in better repute.

About the Courts.

A motion will be made in all probability for a phnngp of ypnup ip the I\ing case against the I. & bt. L. road for dam ages.

It was expected that Judge White, of Rockville, would be here yesterday and try a case in the Superior court, but the judge did not arrive.

The jury in the Superior court has been summoned for to morrow morning. A number of oases have been set for trial. Judge J. M- Allen Baw yesterday that it was a hard matter to get the issues fixed and bring cases to trial. The election seems to be occupying the attention of the bar and there is not a disposition to hurry trials.

The San ford Case ludetinitely Postponed

The charges against Warren iSanford, teacher and principal of the West Terre Haute school, will probably now be drop.ped. Yesterday was the day set for trial before County Superintendent Curry. Many witnesses were in attendance but the defense moved a continuance indefinitely. The petitioners were not ready for trial and conoented to the continuance, which means no doubt the end of the case. The charges grew out of a quarrel oyer the school and were of a minor character. It is well ^hat the rival factions should ley aifple their quarreling.

Waiting for Senator Voorhees. WASHINGTON, September 22.—The spe

The Democracy Exerts Itself for a Crowd Which it Se-

MUCH CURIOSITY, BUT VE.C LITLE ENTHUSIASM.

Hie Overdone Attempt to Make Display for the Railroad Club.

Eagle west on Eagle to Second street, thence on Second to Main street and thence on Main to Ninth street and to the wigwam. The line of men and boys was in twos almost exclusively and made the procession very long. Music, lights and smoke from the torches were the effects of universal attention. There were various estimates of the number present. The following are some of them: 1,660, l,o50, 1,685 (by a Democrat), 1,894 (by a Democrat), and 1,705 and 1,750 by two Republicans. All the boys who were large enough to carry torches and could be persuaded to do so were in the procession. Delegations came in from parts of Illinois, along the I. & S. L., and Midland roads. The turnout of the Railroad club was one of the features of the procession. Every effort was made to get out as big a crowd as possible to carry lanterns. Notices were sent about town to Democrats and also to Republicans asking them to call at headquarters and get a lantern. There were about 315 in the procession carrying lanterns. Ot these there were eightyseven by actual count that were railroad lanterns. A large number of the railroad club were not railroad men and not a few boys were among them. A few of those who were in the railroad club are given below, with their occupation. The occupation of others is not known. They are not railroad men:

Wra. Paine, engineer elevator A. Ghas. Smith, postoOlce.

Dan Murphy, captain of police. Wm. Smith. Jefr'Swtnforu, «ir works. Maynord Grimes, Polytechnic student. Geo. Fogarty, stave factory.

Kunaban, tailor C. Welsh, stave factory. Joseph Weldon. school boy. —Shughrue, school boy. Bob Hlcliardson. Deck Johns, cooper.

Flagan, National house porter. Dickson, A. /,. Foster's. Harry Bacon, ot Indianapolis. Will NuDer, school boy.

Ed fllft/drug clerk. Crip Welton. Tom Conroy, timekeeper car works. Joe Caton, stone cutter,

Koberts, farmer at Pralrleton. Pat Carroll, liall works. Jim Dulla, bricklayer.

The several townships of this county also came by families, and then formed into delegations. Therefore with both Democrats and Republicans the streets of our city were well tilled with humanity. Before the head of the procession, which was led by the Military band, reached the wigwam every seat had been occupied. After the speakers had arrived the procession continued passing apd the. bands their playing until the first feature of the evening proved to be a nuisance, The vocal music was furnished by the Glee club, of Martinsville, III. They sang three songs in vain attempt to give the audience time to settle down. People filled the stage which extended the entire width of the wigwam. They were noisy peqple, too. They hurrahed for Cleveland, blew horns for him, talked to each other for him or somebody else until listeners "couldn't hear their ears." Shortly after 8:30 p. m. Chairman Fitzpatrick said something to the audieqee, and nodded to John 1$. Lamb, who then arose and prevailed upon as many as possible to he seated. He then introduced the speaker of the evening, "the distinguished statesman from Texas, R. Q. Mills."

cures. in*

Last night was parade night for the Democracy and all their children. Everybody and his family swallowed a bite of supper hurriedly and leaving supper dishes unwashed hastened to Main street to see the great Democratic torchlight parade of the Democracy for this campaign. Before 7 o'clock the sidewalks of Main street were lined with people and many were crowded into the street. At 7:30 o'clock the procession with banners covered with inscriptions, with bandana umbrellas, torches, lanterns and a locomotive bell and seven bands of different magnitudes started from Second streets "and east on Ohio to Sixth north on Sixth to

Mr. Mills was received with cheers, and immediately pitched his voice at a high key, gave it all the force that he possessed, and articulated slowly in vain attempts to be heard, but that aggravating confusion that is sometimes so much like Banquo's ghost and "will not down," prevented the Tesas congressman from being heard beyond the middle of the wigwam. He has not a voice of great volume, yet one of power to penetrate and which can be heard a good distance distinctly. And there were some horns in the crowd too and they would blast forth grating tones about four times a minute. With all the muttering conversation, horns-blowing, and with hallooing for Mills, Cleveland and the remainder the tariff reformer could not make himself heard very far beyond the reach of his arms. In legs than ten minutes his voice began to grow husky with the terrible strain and he frowned at, John L,amb who nodded to Senator Voorhees and the senator arose, Efts presence and piercing and frowning look should have commanded silence but seemed to make no difference. He appealed to the crowd to "sit down and keep still" and for "everybody to get everybody near him to keep still," but the muttering continued and the horns "tooted" just the same. He then directs ed his attack to the stronghold qf the marauders, the horns, and this was amusing. "Gentlemen, won't you please stop blowing those horns the meeting can't continue until you do!" (Horns blow in different parts of th© crowd), "Gentlemen, get those fellows that are blowing the horns to stop it!!" (Horns sound again). "Gentlemen, if there a man in your part of the crowd blowing a horn, throw him out!!! (A horn sounds in the crowd by Ninth street.) "Listen at that horn! Choke that fel-

low! Throw him out! Shoot him on the spot! If there's a policcman here let him take theee horn-fellows in charge and keep order." The senator evidently realized that he had )oet his hold on even the Democracy end resumed his seat while the progress tof the policeman around the crowd could be known by the sound of the hora that kept pace ahead of him.

Mr. Mills resumed his talk with scarcely any better chance of being heard but finally talked the greater part of it down except in the south wing of the audience which chatted all evening. The speaker paid his regards to the Republican partj| on the removal of internal revenue tai talked of the general ideft of the propteed Democratic revenue reform discussed in a general way some of the propoeed reductions by the Mills bill said the revenue must be reduced on account otthe surplus and that there were bw two ways te do it, viz., by rejnoving import 'dutiAeand by removing^ihe internal tax, said that they had reduced the import duties on sugar and rixrt, on sugar Sll,000,000, and on steel tails from $17 to $11 that the Democratic party was the friend of the laborer, always had been and wanted him to havrf cheaper clothing that the high rate (4 wages was always the cheapest wafes to employers that the consumer #as taxed by the amount of import dutjr being added to the price of the article and told about the time when he1 was a boy Bnd used to pick &p the shuttle of his mother's loom when it would fall out while she was weaving. He said that the Democrats wanted free raw material for our own manufacturers, so that the laboringman could get cheaper necessaries and better ptices for produce on account of having tne markets of the world to trade in. The* of course, he spoke of the candidates. He seemed inclined to use slang occasionally in his remarks, but that is proh|blj» due to his experience in congress.* His style of oratory is such as will rfjpeal to the enthusiasm rather than tt|e judgment of his hearers. He was rodndly cheered at the close of his speech.

Mr. Lamb then introduced Mr. J. G. Shanklin, of theEvansviile Courier, who spoke for a few moments. Senator Voorhees was then called out by the audience. He said that he completed a list of twelve speeches at Fort W ayne on Thursday night, and that the audience was in better voice than he he would go back to Washington, in aiday or two, and within ten days or two weeks would return, whether there was an adjournment or not, to assist in the campaign. He thereupon proposed three cheers for Grover Cleveland. Mfc Lsmb then rushed to the front ofjthe stage, with bat in hand, and called ttr three cheers for Roger Q. Mills. Th^ audience of its own accord gave Senator Voorhees three hearty cheers, and the senator dismissed the meeting.

OFF THE PLATFORM.

Tlie Texas Congressman Snubs tlie Local Democratic

Congressman Mills occupied a room at the National hotel. After the special train arrived from Brazil where he spoke in the afternoon, and he was escorted to the hotel by the committee. There were many who called to see the congressman whose name the Democratic tariff bill bears. Many were introduced to him but he showed an indifference which was a matter of general comment. A number of the prominent Democrats of the city grasped the hand of the Texan but the words of the latter were few. He stood "wrapped in the solitude of his own originality" (his bill) as it were. What little escaped him was not of consequence. He seemed imbued with the idea that to be great he must be silent. Senator Voorliees, John Lamb, Crawford Fairbanks, Gil Shanklin, of Evansville, and other politicians were treated the same as were the strangers whom Mill met. It was said that John Lamb walked away in disgust and said to a friend that the "Texan needn't say anything unless he wanted to." Mills impressed those whom he met as being, as the slang phrase goes, "up on himself." From an obscure congressman to the father of the tariff measure seems to have inflated him so that he believes he outshines Senator Voorhees and all other Indiana Democrats.

Mr. Mills viewed the prooession from the baloony of the hotel. An EXPRESS reporter tried to engage him in conversation but he was not communicative. He said nothing of consequence except that he was pleased with his reception in Indiana and the turnout here. He said he felt chilly and retired from the balcony to his room, from the window of which hej viewed the remainder of the prooession. Senator Voorhees, Lamb, Shanklin, Fairbanks, Hamill, Judge Scott and several others remained on the balcony. The senator and Editor Shanklin sat beside each other and for the time being buried the hatchet. Mr. Shanklin is editor of the Evansville Courier, which has scored Senator Voorhees whenever opportunity offered. Mr. Mills will remain in the city until this afternoon. He will then leave for Vinoennes, where he speaks to-morrow.

Some Charleston, 111., Democrats were presented to him. He asked about the political outlook there. They told him Cleveland would not g6t as big a vote as in JSS-t. "Why?" he asked. "Because there have been so many changes," they innocently replied. Then in cheerful ignorance of the reflection they had made upon him, they asked that he would stop there on his way back from Texas to help them in their opposition to Cannon for congress. "Oh, you can't beat Cannon," said he, in an indifferent way, as he dismissed the conversation.

The

Greatest Living1 Colored Man Speaks at the Republican Wigwam.

THE PARTY'S PRINCIPLES FORCIBLY PRESENTED.

Ttte Emancipation Day Anniversary Cel°b- •t-.w.u. Exercises at Laiman's Park.

The Republican meeting at the wigwam last evening was an entirely spontaneous affair. No effort was made to create a big demonstration, and indeed, it was not definitely decided until late in the day that the meeting would be held. But the presence in the city of the Hon. Frederick Douglass and Mr. A. C. Morris, suggested the feasability of such an arrangement and on the consent of both gentlemen to make addresses, the news of the meeting was started in circulation. At half past 8 in the evening the wigwam was more than conveniently filled, and when Mr. Douglass and Mr. Morris arrived a little later all the seats were filled and the crowd was standing all around the outskirts of the building. In calling the meeting to order County Chairman George Paris said that from the size of the audience "all the people in the city were not Democrats by any means," notwithstanding that the Democrats were having what was rashly termed the biggest demonstration of the campaign. He said there were two young men on the stage, one whom he would introduce and who would present the other. He took great pleasure in presenting "our beloved" Colonel Thompson as chairman of the evening. Uncle Dick, all smiles, indicative of his being in the beBt of humor, arose and in a short speech presented Mr. Douglass as "an American citizen who was the equal of any man intellectually or otherwise." Mr. Douglass advanced to the front of the platform, very gracefully taking off the broad brimmed bat which covered his massive and silvery long hair. In appearance he is the same powerful old man who was here four years ago with Mr. Blaine, although he seemed tired out. His voice was a trifle weak, too, which might be accounted for by tiresome travel and speaking on the night previous to a lange open-air meeting at Muncie. In opening, he said he had been introduced in a great many ways to public audiences, sometimes as a slave, sometimes as a fugitive slave, but to-night he had" been introduced as an American citizen. He continued in a happy strain for a brief introductory, and theu launched into the full force a half hour's speech on the general issues of the campaign. At no time did he extend his argument into detail, but occupied himself entirely with generalities. His first mention of General" Harrison provoked an outburst of enthusiasm. He spoke of him as the next president of the United States, a gentleman, a scholar, a statesman, a patriot, one who did not flinch when his life was in danger or his country in peril. He considered it a compliment to Indiana that out of 60,000,000 of people, one from this state should be chosen to represent them as president. He would consider that every Indianian should blush to the bone if the people of the state should allow the defeat of such a man. "Are you going to do it?" he asked. "No" answered a hundred or more voices. "We'll give him 10,000 in Indiana," shouted a man on the stage. "You say you'll give 10,000?" repeated Mr. Douglass. "Then we'll give 10,000 in New York." He compared the Republican party in New York to a lion in his den, implying a pent up power held in waiting. Mr. Douglass continued speaking of the condition of affairs in New York, and suddenly paused. "I wish I had the voice of my frieed here, Colonel Thompson," was his next remark. "I'd make myself heard above the grinding of all the Mills in this vicinity." The point was caught by the audience in a flash, and the applause was loud and long.

He next spoke of the inconsistencies of (jrover Cleveland, who in four years had' abandoned his position and fallen down on hands and knees before his party*. On his election Cleveland had advocated civil service reform. Also the limitation of a president's service to one term, and had recommended that officeholders abstain from furnishing money for election purposes. Now he had abandoned every position and not only surrendered on the last, but had given »10,o00 to re-elect himself for a second term. He referred to the ip.ethods by which the South was made solid for the Democracy, and urged that as a reason why the free voterB of the North should support Mr. Harrison. In concluding Mr. Douglass explained that like all other things there was a limit to his voice, and that for this reason he would give way to a young friend who would ep9ak at greater length on the issues. On leaving home he had promised his wife and several others to be careful of his voice.and health, and in order that he might go on through the campaign of seven more weeks, during which time he would canvass in seven states, he was necessarily compelled to husband his strength. As he sat down the crowd buvat out in round after round of oheers, and the shouts of approval that had interrupted him throughout his speech were increased in volume and number. It was very evident that Mr. Douglass not only had a very strong hold ou the hearts of his brother colored men present, but al on the hearts of all the white men in 1'ie audience.

Mr. C. S. Morris, the very eloquent young speaker who is traveling in the company of Mr, Douglass, was then introduced by Colonel Thompson. From the very opening he caught the favor of the audience by his remarkable oratory and his clear, forcible argument. He was listened to through the course of an hour's speech with the olosest attention, and every point made received the popular approval. He spoke at length on the tariff and several other issues, and in concluding recited a very clever campaign poem. Mr. Morris is certainly a very brilliant young man, and as Mr. Douglass termed it, there is a great future before him.

Before adjourning the meeting Colonel Thompson said that he desired to

tell the audience a secret, which he cau tioned all to carefully hide. On one of the banners in the Mills parade, just before the meeting, he had seen inscribed: •'We Fought the Rebellion." "I didn't know that before. Did you?" said Mr. Thompson. Below it was inscribed: "We Fight Robber Tariff." But the first was the secret.

After the adjournment, the crowd pushed to the platform and handshaking and congratulations followed for some time. Mr. Douglass and Mr. Morris have a long campaign of work before them. They leave at 5 o'clock this morning for Chicago and from there go intoM chigan for a week. Then into other states as the national committee assigns them, finally concluding in New York and Connecticut.

EMANCIPATION CELKBRATIO.V

Tlie Kxercises at Hnlinan's Park Yesterday Afternoon.

The celebration yesterday of Emancipation day was heartily entered into by a large representation of the colored people of the city and surrounding country. Preparations for the event had been going on for two weeks. On Friday afternoon and early yesterday morning it seemed very much as if the weather would prevent carrying out the programme, but by 10 o'clock the clouds had rolled away and the remainder of the day was not. only pleasant but beautiful. The first part of the programme was the parade through the principal streets in the morning. This was quite long, and in every respect quite an advance over the parade of last year. Grand Marshal Benjamin Williams headed the line, mounted on a fine steed. The order of march in the line following was:

Military Band. Citizens on foot

Boys of Sunday school on foot. Girls of Sunday school In wagons. Grand Representation of Goddess of Liberty.

Speakers In Carriages. Committeemen In Carriages.

The "Goddess of Liberty" represented was very appropriate. Miss Maude Gibbs, as the goddess, held the staff from which the American flag floated, while around her were thirty-eight boys and girls, carrying flags, representing the states of the Union. After a "long march the line was broken. The intention was to have had exercises at Hulman park in the morning, at which time Frederick Douglass was to have spoken. But Mr. Douglass was delayed and the park programme was postponed until afternoon.

In the arrangement of this part of the celebration there was a very unfortunate misunderstanding which prevented a great many of the colored people from the country from participating. The trustees of Lost Creek Church, not aware that other arrangements were being made, leased the fair grounds and got out hand bills announcing that Frederick Douglass would speak there and that an admission of 10 cents would be charged. In the meantime the park programme was arranged by the city people, and when it came to compromising the breach was too large to be healed over.

Nevertheless there was a very good attendance at Hulruan park, and the meeting opened quite favorably. Mr. Douglas arrived on the I. & St. L., and notwithstanding the committee had gone to the Union depot to meet him, arrived on the grounds about 3 o'clock. Mr. Henry McAllister called the meeting to order and announced that Mr. Simon Daniels would speak while Mr. Douglass took time to get a light lunch, having had no dinner. Mr. Daniels made very happy although brief address. He traced the colored people in the United States through their entire period of slavery, from the time of the first introduction in 1870 until the emancipation. He was enthusiastically received. Mr. Douglass then reappeared, and said he would gladly talk on emancipation although he was not aware until his arrival that he was to address an emancipation meeting. He then spoke for about half an hour, and his remarks were in the form of reminiscenses. He was in an unusually happ mood, and his frame ot mind spread to the entire audience. He told of his experiences with Lincoln in the dark period of the war, how the murdered president received him when the very action was in open violation with all the social rules of the time. But to repeat all the good things he told would be a long task. Sufficient is it to Bay that those who had expected a set speech from Mr. Douglass were agreeabiy surprised. At the close of his remarks three cheers were given with a will for this venerable example of a self-made man. Mr. Douglass was not only in fine spirits, but was looking very well, and when he said he would speak at length at the wigwam in the evening, the announcement was received with cheors.

Following Douglass, Mr. S. C. Morris, roung colored man of Louisville,

Ky., was introduced and made a speech of half an hour's length on the issues of the campaign. The exercises of the afternoon were then adjourned.

The committee having the celebration in charge were Ben Williams, grand marshal Wesley Williams, first assistant marshal! Green Day, Henry McAllister, Tony Howard, sr. Tony Howard, jr. William Williams, L. Mitchell, P. Jack* son, Nelson Reoord, John Debs, Willis Wade, John Kennedy, Horace Base, and Ben Porter.

The Jacksonville Record—Memphis' Precaution—At Jacksonville and Other Points.

Acic.soxvirj.E,

Fla., September 22.—

Eight long weeks have passed since the first case of yellow fever, that of McCormick, was developed at theGrand Union hotel. To-night the official records show a total of 1,745 cases and 202 deaths. The daily list of cases and deaths during the past ten days has been fearful in a city of the size of Jacksonville with two-thirds of its people absent. To day's record of new cases was again broken, the score reaching the figures 103. Of these 103 were colored people who are being freely reported. It iB now Blmost certain that many hundred colored people have had fever and recovered without treatment or physicians. The old theory tnat negroes are liable to contract vellow fever has been exploded. It has been demonstrated that they are almost as susceptible to attack as the whites but the issue is rarely fatal with them, probably never unless the fever is complicated with organic diseases. An old an eminent local physician said today: "Negroes never die of yellow fever unless they csll in a doctor." The deaths reported to-day are only eix in number
