OPENING OF THE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN AT INDIANAPOLIS.

The Capital City Crowded With Enthusiastic Protectionists—Reception Speech by Gen. Harrison—Gov. Mclvlnlwy'a

Tomllnson Hall Address.

Tho Republican campaign in Indiana was formally opened at Indianapolis Tuesday, Sept. 25, by Governor William McKinloy, of Ohio, and ex-President Harrison. The original plan of the State committee was to have Mr. Harrison "sound the key-note" earlier in this month, but business engagements detaining the ex-President in the East beyond the date on which the committee had hoped to use him, it was arranged that Governor McKinley should make the speech which is to be the guide for the other speakers who shall visit the counties of the State during the next six weeks. After Mr, Harrison learned that he could arrange his

GOV. WM. M'kinlky.

business so as to be in the city on this day. he accepted an Invitation from the committee to preside over the meeting. In order that the Republicans from all parts of the State might have an opportunity to attend the meeting, the State committee made only this one appointment for speaking in the State today.

The early trains into the city were crowded with Republicans, and later ones, c.n some of the roads, could not haul enough cars to accommodate all the people Jwho wished to cot there. From 9 o'clock until noon there was a constant stream from the Union station up town. Band after band tiled out of the train sheds, followed by clubs from the surrounding towns and cities. It was foreseen early in the day that only a small percent, of th! visitors could get inside the hall, and men who did not wish to be left, on the outside, took places -ar the main entrance before 10 o'clock, prepared to wait until the doors should be opened. In and about the Denison Hotel, where Governor McKinley stayed, there was such a crowd ail forenoon that ingress and egress was next to impossible. Over in the Republican State committee rooms, a block away from the hotel, the leaders of the party congratulated each other on the success pf the day.

Tho weather was superb, and tho crowds began to surge about Tomlinson Hall as early as 10 o'clock. At ll 5Q the hall marshal opened the doors, and the enthusiastic throng surged in to select choice seats. Tho hall was beautifully but not elaborately decorated with flags, bunting and portraits of Harrison, Lincoln and McKinloy. As the hour of 1 approached the vast hall was filled to suffocation, every scat being 111 Jed on the main floor and in the balconies, while the crowds were massed in the corridors in every possible position where a sight of the interior could be obtained. At 1:10 Gen. Harrison appeared on the stage, already packed wito over 400 leading Republicans. The entire assemblage rose and gave him a reception of which he may well be proud. At 1:15 Gen. Harrison having taken the gavel. Gov. McKinley, escorted by the committee, appeared, and, If possible, the reception accorded to the ex-President was out done. Cheer on cheer arose in away to thrill the dullest, and inspire to renewed efforts the enthusiastic adherents to the creed of which Gov. McKinley is acknowledged to be the ablest exponent. Both the distinguished speakers bowed gracefully in acknowledgement. After partial quiet had been restored, Mr. Harrison spoke at length, and was constantly interrupted with enthusiastic applause. In part he said:

My Fellow Citizens: The delightful duty has been assigned me bv tho State Central Committee of the Republican party of Indiana to preside over this great meeting. I am to be its chairman, not its speaker: and I congratulate you on that fact. (Laughter.) I brought the distinguished 19 wh'.mi yov. are to listen to In tiiis hall this ai'tt iiiuv.n, without sending any courier in advance to lind whether there were enough people here for him to speak to. [Cheers.J Only two years ago this country was not only the most prosperous country in the world—for that it had been before—but it stood upon the.highest pinnacle of prosperity that it had over before attained. [Cheers.] This, is not the. verdict of politicians it is the verdict of the commercial reporter it is the expressed opinion of those men who make a profession of studying business conditions. The last two years have been years of distress and disaster. The losses of them defy the skiil of the calculator. It has been said, I think, not without reason, that they exceed thecoma of the great civil war. These losses have not been classed losses they have been distributed. We were told in the old times the rich were getting richer and the poor poorer and to cure that imaginary ill our political opponents have brought on a time when everybody is getting poorer. [Great, applause.] I think that I remember to have heard of an inscription once upon a tombstone that ran something like this: "I was well: I thought to he better I took medicine., and here I lie." [Laughter and applause.)

Our Democratic friends have passed a arilf bill that is approved by only six Democratic senators and nobody else. [Laughter.) We, hear of the little coterie of senators, whose names I could not mention, perhaps.—but their number hasgenerallv been lixed at a round half dozen— who decided what the tariff bill should be, and they are pleased with it. and nobody else. [Applause.] Mr. Cleveland has repudiated it. and has declared that, it involves "'perfidy and dishonor:" that it was shameful in its character and in the inlluences that, produced it that he would not even put his name to it. 1 think the Ohio Democrats tho other day declaro'i that all these disasters of which wo speak came upon the country under the McKinley bill. Well, to be sure, the McKinley bill wasa law until that :j!'th iav—was it—of August, when the Gorman bill was passed, but it was a law

In the spring. It had been arrested. We were listening from day to day to the prophecies that in two weeks, or three, or four it would he repealed. It was not a law in the sense that any merchant or manufacturer could act upon it. It was dead in a business sense though alive in the statute. Why. sir, it would be just about as reasonable to complain of a man who had been seized, handcuffed and locked up in a cell for not supporting his family as to complain of the, McKinley bill during this period of suspense.

I am glad that Indiana today gives so royal a reception to Governor McKinley. He has endeared himself to all by his record as a gallant young soldier, battling for the flag. He lias honored himself, his State and the country by the conspicuous service in high legislative and executive places. No man is more able than he lucidly to set them before the people. [Applause.] I do not need to invoke your attention to what lie shall say. lie will command it. I have now the'pleasure of presenting him to you. [Applause.]

When Mr. Harrison finished at twenty minutes to 2 o'clock there was applause. Governor McKinley began his speech extemporaneously, but soon resorted to manuscript. In part the author of the famous McKinley bill said:

Mr. President, my Fellow Citizens of Indiana, Ladies and Gentlemen In November, 181):', a Republican national administration, able and efficient and patriotic, which had managed the government with exceptional zeal and abilitv for nearly four years—at the head of which was one of our greatest Presidents, the illustrious citizen from Indiana (applause) he who presides over, this meeting—was, by the voice of the American people, voted out of power.

Those who assisted in that decree and those who were opposed to it have been regretful and unhappy ever since. (Applause and laughter). In obedience to that decree ihe Democratic party has been in supreme control of the Government for now nearly nineteen months, and for the greatest part of that time, it has been engaged in trying to reverse the tariff. It did not take the people of this country as long to revise their views as it took "the Democratic party to revise tho tariff. (Laughter.) This has been a period of sober reflection, steadied by the discipline of adversity, and. after all, the form of instruction which is most effective and enduring is experience. And we have had that with great abundance for the last eighteen months, but have been blessed with little else.

Congress has trifled with the sacred trust confided to it by the people, has disgusted its own constituents, imperiled their enterprises and investments, and the people have been thinking about it.

The revulsion has set in and thecountrr is ready to render its verdict. Even Mr. Mills, of Texas, declared in open debate that the Gorman-Krice bill, which has just become a bill, was not approved bv a thousand people within tin* United States. I ordinarily d'sagree with Mr. Mills, but in that I quite agree with him.

Proceeding. Gov. McKinley reviewed the history of the Gorman bill at length, and showed up the corrupt scenes attending its passage in an able manner, and detailed some of its salient points. The bill, he said, gives some protection. Rice is carefully protected by a duty of more than SO per cent., and sugar is not wholly neglected. It has some free trade, in it here and there, but principally herein the North" There is the tariff on peanuts. [Applause. Hut free trade in hoop-iron that goes to bind a bale of cotton. There is a tariff on sumach, hut free trade in wool. There is a tariff on mica, but free trade in lumber. There is a tariff on the grain bags of the northern farmer, but there is no tariff on the cotton bag of the southern farmer. In their schedule there, is the grossest exhibition of sectionalism and unjust discrimination. Is it any wonder that even Mr. Cleveland should condemn it? And in his letter to -Congressman Catellings he declares there are provisions in this bill that are not in the lin? of honest tariff reform, and it contains inconsistencies and crudities which ought

not to appear Ml tariff laws or laws of any kind, while influences surrounded it in it's later stages, and interfered with its Hnal construction which ought not to be recognized or tolerated in Democratic reform counsels." And tho President might haye well added, nor any other consels.

Those men. fellow citizens, in the plain story of the transaction in the campaign of lSfl:2. told in open debate, told in public session, told to the country, published in the enduring records of the United Statos. that the candidates of the Democratic party, and the managers of the Democratic party controling organization, made a private, contract with the senators from Louisiana, the consideration being the electoral vote of the State of Louisiana, that they would take care of sugar. They modified their platform. You never heard of free sugar in the campaign of from the lips of a Democratic orator. It was not in the Democratic, platform: it was not spoken of in the Democratic press of the country. hut here were two great leadeis of the Democratic party making a private contract with a great sovereign State of the Union that they would modify tho platform of their party privately and sectionally in consideration for the electoral vote of the State. That is the way that law waft made. It reduced duties, but every lime it reduced a duty it reduced the wages of labor. Why, they talk about having reduced duties from !0 to 51) per cent. They go all over the State telling about the average rate of reduction they have made. Well, in whose interest this reduction, tell me. men of Indiana? In whose interest is tho reduction of duties made by the Gorman-Urice law of '!i4? What do reductions of duties mean? Why. they reduce, the duty to increase the revenues, don't tln'y?

Yom cannot- reduce Thy

iutiu£ atiu increase the revenues unless you increase importations. If you reduce

I see you people have got it and are ready to vote now. I would like, somebody to tell me what American it benefits except the sugar trust and the whisky trust. (Applause.) What industry in this country other than those I have named will it stimulate? Tell me that, men of Indiana. What new lires will it build in ativ part of this country, under our Hag? ThII me that, men of Indiana. What additional labor will it employ? Tell me that, men of Indiana, [Cries of "Give the militia more to do!" Applause.]

I see, the people of Indiana understand this question fully and are ready to vote,. Has there been any rejoicing in this country since that bill became a law? Have you had any? [Cries of "No!"l The only rejoicing that has been heard anywhere has been beyond the seas and under another flag. And while, they rejoice in another jurisdiction that law has brought sorrow and distress to a million homes in the United States.

In conclusion Gov. McKinloy said: The Democratic party is a remarkable party. It is for anything to tret power, and then it is never for anything which got it power. It was for tho free and unlimited coinage of silver when it was out of power, arid you have never heard of it since it came into power. I mean you never heard of it in Congress. They hove talked it on the stump. Tliey were for free raw materials when they were seeking your votes, and when they pos&e?sed tho power to give the country free raw

the rate of duties f0 per cent., you can pel led by beating wings. It weighs

only increase your revenues by multiplying your importations. If you decrease the tariff one-half, if you maintain the volume of revenue, you must double your importations. If the tariff on glass, for example, was per cent, under tho old law, and the Democratic party reduced it to 30 per cent., to get as much revenue! from a30 per cent, tariff you must double the importation of those, glasses. Do you see that, my fellow citizens?

trusts ever since. Will you, my fellow citizens, give that party two years longer to disturb and distress the people of the United States'? If this year you elect a Republican House of Representatives, thenjthe opportunity for evil by the Democratic party stops on the 4th day of March next. If a Democratic Congre or Ilouso of Representatives be elected, then for two years, or until the close of Mr. Cleveland*^ present term, they can continue the war against the industries and thehapniness of the American people. I bid you, ruy countrymen, put on to your ballots next November what you think and what you believe is be for the public good, and best for the individual happiness of yourselves and ail the people. I thank you.

NOTES.

Gov. McKinley arrived at the Union station at 11 p. m. Monday, and was escorted to the Denison, where he made a brief address to a crowd that tilled Pennsylvania street for nearly a square.

Tuesday forenoon Gov. Matthews called on Gov. McKinley at the Denison. The Governors had met twice before. Gov. McKinley expressed a wish to inspect the State house and the two distinguished gentlemen walked over to the "pride of the West," accompanied by Mr. McKinley's private secretary. Nearly al! the Statt officers assembled in the executive parlors and an informal reception was held, aftei which the two executives held a lengthy interview and discussed the recent strika and other matters of interest. The Ohio gentlemen wore greatly pleased with tlu capitol building.

Charles Dick, chairman of the Ohio I Republican State committee, who accompanied Governor McKinley here, says that Ohio Republicans were never so widt awake as now. The campaign in tha1 State will be fought out on national issues. lie soys the free silver plank in tlu at at or a a votes for that party, and he believes il will loose the party votes. Mr. Dick thinks Ohio will give the Republicat ticket 100.000 majority.

Governor McKinley's progress from th« State line to Indianapolis was an ovation. The train stopped at Centerville, Richmond, Cambridge City, Knightstown and Dublin. At eaeh place large crowds had gathered and at every place, except Dubliu, the Governor spoke briefly
