THE INDIANAPOLIS JOUHNAL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1S3T.
ler workman should have the confidence of the order. He ia entitled to it; it ia bis right. If the present incumbent is not the man to inspire that confidence he will cheerfully give way to the man of your choice. It is true that I was elected for two years, together with my brother efiicers: but I waive all right that I mar have in ihat direction. This General Assembly is higher khan the officers, and it certainly has the right to remove one or all of them, and re-elect them or elect others to take their places. I have ltated from the public platform that I was serving my laat term. I am, and make the announcement now, so that I may not be misunderstood, or may not be misconstrued. Now, I am done. If, in the judgment of the General Assembly, it Is best to select another to serve in my place, that decree will be cheerfully obeyed by me, and I will torn the affairs of the ofiice over to the man of your choice." Moderate applause greeted the finishing words of the address, and a motion to adjourn was at once adopted. Each delegate was furnished with one of the printed copies, and to-night twothirds of them are read in? or discussing it. Tomorrow the assembly will convene to take it up, lection by section, and what some of the delecrates characterize as the fan will commence. Nearly every feature will be antagonized by one or another of the several factions ia the gatherThe National Farmers' Alliance.

Burrows, of Nebraska; vice-president. ex-Senator L. D. Whiting, of Illinois; secretary, August Pont, of Iowa; treasurer, J. J. Furlong, of Minnesota: lecturer, A. D. Chase, of Dakota. J. Burrows, the new president, is fifty-five years of age. He was born in western New York, and ia an old soldier. Gen. T. II. Barrett, president of the Mincesoto Alliance, presented a long address, which was idopted as the sentiment of the alliance. It was devoted chiefly to denunciation of the present railway system as producing monopolistic powtr to the detriment of the people. Regarding ;he interstate law it says: If the law proves defective, make it efficient: in no ;ase let it be repealed. Take no step backward, either n iState or national legislation. Government must tontrol legislation as far as such control is necessary f protec'- the people. It ought to po no further. Dividend upon watered stock are a continuous and a 'ontinued fraud npon the publio which no lapse of ame can condone. Every act of every public railway sorporation should be open to public scrutiny. If ionestly conducted, no private interest can be innred: and if dishonestly managed, the public has a ieht to know it. Every expenditure, Including saltries paid to railroad officials, are proper subjects for ublic consideration. The public will be reasonable; -.h people pay the bills; they have a right to know where the money goes. Railway property must be xed as other property is taxed. It thould pay its just share of Sra'e, county, school and all other local There must bo freedom of traffic throughout ;lie country. It is not tbe business of a corporation :o direct the sonrae of traffic intrusted to it as a comnon carrier; it is its business to transport it in. such direction as the shipper may direct, at reasonable rates, and for all alike. Facilities at the lowest reatonable rates for interchange of traffic between interacting or 'contiguous roads must be provided. Oar-load lots should be transferred without unload-ng.

FAREWELL TO CHICAGO.
Mired In tbe 31 ad at the Eocsmpraent-The
Departure for Milwaukee.
Chicago,. Oct. 6. Swarms of people, again
filled all tbe approaches to the Palmer House this morning, eagerly watching for a glimpse of President Cleveland when he should emerge for
a drive to the international military encamp
ment. Crowds of workmen and shop-girls on
the way to their daily tasks forgot for the time-
being the toil before them and presssd forward
through the jam of country people and well-
dressed city sight seers. A balf-dozen mounted police had no little trouble clearing a passage for tbe President's carriage, which waa drawn
by four spanking bays. The sky was lowering,
and everyone was predicting rain wonld fall be
fore tbe President could make a start
Not a drop fell, however, and at 8:45
Mr, Cleveland, looking but little the worse for
his wholesale handshaking of tbe previous day.
appeared at tbe arched doorway. With hat
doffed and many a good-natured bow to the
cheering crowd, he lightly sprang into the wait
ing carriage, and in a trice was whirling through tbe thick of the business district and out Wash
ington boulevard to the encampment. He was accompanied by Mayor Roche, General Terry
and a dozen lesser dignitaries. Early as it was,
and threatening as was the day, tho sidewalks
along the entire route were lined with people,
including thousands who, notwithstanding stren
uous all-day and evening efforts yesterday, had
failed to see the President or his wife in the gen
eral confusion. A ludicrous incident occurred at the entrance to the encampment grounds. Tbe President's carriage got stuck in the mud. There was not
a moment's time to spare, and the prancing bays
were smartly lashed with the whip. It was nip and tuck with the mud that was made thick and sticky by rain daring the night. Finally the vehicle containing the chief magistrate of the Nation gave a terrible lange forward and was gone from the laughing, cheering crowd. A rapid drive past two or three thousand troops drawn up in line, a thundering salute from the artillery, and bows and smiles to the couole of
thousand spectators in the stands, completed the
ceremonies at the encampment. Without delay tbe President boarded a train for the depot down town, from which the start for Milwaukee was to be made. It lacked but five minutes of 10, the schedule time of the start for Milwaukee, when he arrived. Mrs. Cleveland had preceded him by half an hour, slipping quietly into a carriage at the hotel and being driven to the depot comparatively unobserved. The hundreds of spectators crowding the waiting-rooms when she arrived had grown to thousands in tbe short interval before the President came. Behind the long railines on the platform parallel with the presidential train it seemed like the quarter on Derby day, so closely packed and thoroughly excited were the people. Mrs. Cleveland gazed out from the window of her car with decided interest that heightened when the President stepped from the incoming train on an adjoining track and briskly walked to ber side. At once a chorus of entreaties went up for them to come out on the platform. "We want to see Mrs. Cleveland" and "Three cheers for Grover," were the cries. When Mrs. Cleveland, in her green traveling dress, and the President, with bead uncovered, appeared at the rear door of the train, a miehty cheer rolled through tbe depot. Just then the train began to move, a burst of sunshine lit up the scene, and, while the multitude yelled itself hoarse, the President and bis fair young wife, waved a farewell to Chicago, AT MILWAUKEE.
Arrival and Reception at the Cream CityLast Evening's Banquet.
Milwaukee, Oct. 6. Up to to-day Milwaukee
had been only once honored by the presence, as
ber guest, of a President of the United States.
Nine years ago President Hayes was accorded an
enthusiastic reception and was the lion of a day
that has since been mentally recoxded in the
city's annals with red letters. General Grant
visited Milwaukee after his term of office as
President bad expired, but received as much enthusiastic attention as though he were still tbe chief magistrate of the Nation. To-day, Milwaukee is glowing with'1 patriotism over its second Opportunity to do honor to the chosen
ruler of the people. Smiles are more general than frowns, and happiness has for
the time usurped business cares, The day opened brightly after a rather unproro.
ising night, during which the muttering of
thunder was frequent, accompanied by vivid
flashes of lightning, and rain pattered down at
intervals. Colored decorations that were yes
terday put in place suffered somewhat from the water, but the blending effect of tbe rain in some instances enhanced the beauty of tbe de
signs. A large concourse of people assembled at the Northwestern depot of the .Lake Shore long before the time set for the arrival of tbe presidential train, and between the surging of the crowd and the movement of the different organizations into their assigned positions in the line of parade, that section of the city was afforded a spectacle new in its history. , Postmaster-general Vilas, whose guests the President and Mrs. Cleveland are to beat Madison, accompanied the party from Chicago. Mrs. Cleveland shows no traces of the fatigue caused by ber social duties of yesterday, and is as charming as on ber wedding day. She stands beside ber husband whenever a demonstration is made, and in every feature and gesture eives evidence that she is enjoying ber traveling experience. Both were astonished at the magnitude of the demonstration in Chicago, where, yesterday morning, more peeple were probably seen than at all the preceding stops. The scenes along the way from Chioago were of the usual character. At Evaneton there was a brass-band serenade and a triumphal arch of evergreens. At Racine flags could be seen flying over the town a mile away. At smaller stations all the country population roundabout was in waiting, and even the ploughmen in the fields bad their horses bedecked with flags and ribbons. - When tbe train finally drew into the depot and tbe presidential car was brought abreast of the temporary platform upon which the President waa to alight, the immense crowd cheered repeatedly, and swayed and surged about the depot platform. A presidential salute was fired by a battery on shore, and the revenue steamer, Andy Johnson, opened ber ports and echoed a response. Prearranged plans were quickly put in operation, and the escort of the distinguished visitors took up its position. The order of parade was as follows: Platoon of police. Marshal King and aids.) Fourth battalion band. Fifth battallion band. Visiting national guard companies. Presidential band. Jefferson Club, of Jefferson Wis. Carriage containing President Cleveland, Mrs. Clave land. Mayor Wall ber. Carriage containing Colonel Vilas, James G. Jenkins, II. Lu Palmer. Carriages containing prominent citizens. Judges in carriages. Federal officials in carriages. City officials in carriages. Aldermen in carriages. County officials and supervisors ia carriages. Press representatives. Band. Uniformed Patriarchs.,. Band. Ancient Order of Hibernians. Band. Catholic Uniformed Knights. Band. Knights in uniform. Band. Other uniformed orders. Band. Uniformed bodies alternating with bands. Juvenile band. The military presented a fine appearance. It wa9 the largest parade of militia that has been f-een in Milwaukie since the great reunion in I8S0. Tbe local companies participating were the Sheridan Guards, the Kosciusko Guards, the Milwaukee Cadets, and the bugle corps of the Light Horse Squadron. Tbosn from outside cities aro from Aopleton, Watertown, two companies from Oshkosh, Fond du Lac. Ripon, Waupuo, Sheboygan, Heaver Dam, two companies from Manitowoc, the Janesviile Guards, and the Beaver City Rifles of Janesviile. As the procession traversed the line of march, there were frequent bursts of cheering, and the President bowed repeatedly and lifted bis bat in response to cordial salutations. Mrs. Cleveland bore herself as serenely as a queen,
Buildings on both sides of the streets traversed by tbe procession were tastefully decorated
with the national colors, evergreens, etc., some
oi the aesigns being unique, as well as tasteful. On Wisconsin street, opposite their club-rooms,
tbe Juneau Club, an organization composed of young Democrats, erected a graceful arch of evergreens, bearing the word "Welcome," and
pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland,
and - along the walK in front of its
quarters a laree reviewing stand from
which the members of the club and their
ladies greeted tbe President and his wife and showered flowers upon them. The government building was also decorated with tbe national colors, and with portraits of the President and wife. At the corner of South Water and Ferry street the parade passed under another arch bearing the motto, "Self government and Home Rule," and at the corner of Lake and Reed streets a graceful arch bore greeting and sentiment as follows: "Welcome to our President," "Where freedom dwells there is our home," and "We honor him who honors us." When the procession had traversed its eircnitous route and arrived at the west front of the court-house, the honored guests and the reception committee left the carriages and took places on the tastefully-decorated platform that had been there erected. The military and the civio societies that participated in the parade then passed in review, after which Mayor Wallber arose and welcomed the President and his wife to the fair city of Milwaukee, and introduced the Nation's ruler to the assembled thousands. Cheers rent the air as the President stepped forward and bowed to his auditors, and it was some time before quiet was restored and tbe President was able to deliver his response, Mr. Cleveland spoke as follows: "I am very glad to have an opportunity, though the time allowed is very brief, to meet the people of Wisconsin's chief city. When we left home, and in passing through different States on our way, there has been presented to us a variety of physical features characteristic of their diversity in soil and conformation. But the people we have met at all points have been the same in their energy and activity, in their local pride, and in that peculiar trait of American character which produces the belief, firmly ad -hered to by every individual, that his particular place of residence is the chosen and most favored spot which the world contains. This condition creates an aggregate of sentiment invincible in operation, furnishing the motive power which has brought about the stupendous growth and development of our country. But there has been another element of character displayed ainonj; the people everywhere on ur travels whi.-.h has been universal and not disturbed by any difference in place or circumstances. No State lines have circumscribed; no local pride has dimished, and no business activity has in the least stilied the kindness and cordiality of the people's welcome. There is bitterness enoujrh in the partisan feeling which seems inseparable from our political methods, but the good people of the United States have. I bellove, decreed that there are occasions when this shall have no place. This is well manifested to-day in our hearty greeting by the people of Wisconsin and this active, stirring city. Municipal enterprise has added much to the natural
beauty of your metropolis, as is attested by your ii - i -. i . i
picasaut i reers ana nanasome cornel, witn tneir surroundings, but its great increase in population, its manufactories and trade, demonstrate xhat its citi
zens hare not oeen conlentwith beauty alon. 'I cannot forget my interests in municipal affairs arising from an active experience at one time in city government; and I find myself very much inclined to
scrutinize such statements as fall under my eye demonstrating their financial condition. With all its extensive public improvements, unless I am much at fault, the city of Milwaukee has less public debt than any other of its population in the United States, excepting one. In these days, when the temptation
to local public extravigance is not often enough withstood, you may well be proud of
this exhibit, and besides, the satisfaction which the financial condition produces has a practical side
to it. Large enterprises are often much influenced in
their location by such cansiderations, and they are
apt to be established where the burden of
taxation is the least, and the share of publio mdebtness is to be borne bv them is the smallest.
I feel that I can express no kindlier wishes for the
people of Milwaukee than that they may continue, by their splendid advantages of location and sound financial condition, to invite to their city the most important elements of growth and wholesome progress."
f rom the court-bouse reviewing stand tbe
procession resumed its march to Scblitz Park,
where tbe hand-shaking feature of the programme was arranged to be carried out. Behind the presidential carriage all tbe way to the
park trudged a grizzled old Irishman holding
aloft a banner inscribed with the words, "Presi
dent and Constitution." He had walked to Mil
waukee all the way from Neenah, Wis,, with his flag, for this purpose. He gave his name as John Sexton.
At Schlitz Park there was an avenue of arches formed of gas jets, large lyres of punc
tured gas-pipes being placed above the center of each arch. Though ie was broad daylight the gas was lit. and against the background
of trees presented a very prettv eight.
Tbe President was stationed on a platform in
the main pavilliou inside tbe park, snrrounded "- by the citizens' committee. Some slip in the
arrangements caused considerable confusion, the crowd becoming massed inside the building in such a manner that people could not get out.
while tbey. kept pouring in use a stream. .
At one time the President and party
were in danger of being swept off their feet by
the surging throng, but the police finally managed to keep the crowd in eheclc The President's reception lasted one hour. He was so tired of hand-shaking, as he himself observed.
that most of the time he kept bis bands behind
bis back and simply bowed as tbe people passed. Many of them were not satisfied with
this, however, and persisted in touching his
clothes with their hands. From Schlitz Park the party drove to the exposition building, and thence, after a brief rest, to the Plankinton
House. Mrs. Cleveland bad left tbe procession
early in tbe afternoon, and at 6 o'clock dined at the residence of John L. Mitchell, resi
dent manager of the Soldiers' Home. The din
ner party was confined to the chief guest and
ten ladies. From here, Mrs. Cleveland was
driven to the residence of James Kneeland on
Grand avenue, where she gave a publio reception, lasting until 9 o'clock.
Just 3a0 guests sat down a? tbe banquet ten
dered by the Merchants'! Association to the
President, including leading Republicans, Dem
ocrats and mugwumps from all parts of the
State. The dining ball was elaborately decorated with ferns and palms. Tbe guests re
mained . standing until the arrival of tha chief guest of the evening. Mr. . Cleveland entered on the arm of Mr. G. F. Andrews, presi
dent of tbe Merchants' Association. He was re
ceived with applause. At 10 o clock Mrs. Cleve
land appeared in the balcony of the dining room to listen to the toasts and responses, and was greeted with great applause. Immediate
ly after the applause had subsided, Mr. An
drews made the address of welcome. As President Cleveland rose to respond he was greeted
with vociferous cheering. Mr. Cleveland said:
T feel like thanking you for remembering on this
occasion the President of the United States; for I am
sure vou but intend a respecttul recognition of the
diirnitv aud importance of the high office I. for the
time being, hold in trust for you and for the American people. It is a high ofiice, because it represents the sovereignty of a free and mighty people. It is full of solemn responsibifitv and duty, because it embodies
in a greater degree than any other office on earth the suffrage and the trust of such a people. As an Amer
ican citizen, chosen from tre mass of his fellow-
countrymen to assume for a time this responsibility
and this duty, I acknowledge witn patriotic satisfac
tion yonr tribute to the office which belongs to us
ail. And because it belongs to all tne people, the obligation is manifest on their part to maintain a constant and continuous watchfulness and interest con
cerning its care and operation. Their duty is not entirely done when they have exercised " their suffrage and indicated their choice of the incumbent, nor is their duty
performed by settling down to bitter, malignant and
senseless aouse of ail that is done or attempted to be done by the incumbent selected. The acts of an administration should not be approved as a matter of
course, and for no better reason than that it represents a political party; but more unpatriotic than all these are those who. having neither party discontent nor fair ground for criticism to excuse or justify their conduct, rail because of personal disappointments, who misrepresent for sensational purposes, and who profess to see swift destruction in the rejection of their plans of governmental managemeut. After all, we need have no fear that the American people will permit thi high office of President to suffer. There is a patriotic sentiment abroad which.
in tbe midst of all party feeling and all party disappointment, will assert itself and will insist that the off es which'stands for the people shall, in all its vigor, minister to their prosperity and welfare."
Why Gov. Oglesby Did Hat Participate. Chicago, Oct. C. A Springfield dispatch
gives the following explanation of Governor Oglesby'a absence from Chicago during the President's visit: There was inquiry about the
State Capitol to-dav as to tbe reason why Gov.
Oglesby remained away from Chicago on the
occasion oi tbe residents visit, lie naa a
pressing invitation to go. It seems, however, that when the Springfield authorities were pre
paring their invitation to the President to come here the Mayor and- others called on the Gov
ernor and asked him to join in the invitation. The Governor replied that in his position be did not think he could with propriety join in the
citizens' invitation to Springfield any morehan in one to any other city in the State, but that he could write the President, and would cheerfully do so, saying that he had learned that the municipal authorities at tbe Stato capital were sending him an invita
tion to come here, and that if be decided to come.
and it was hoped be would, the Governor and all
the State officers would unite in the general en
deavor to make bis stay here an agreeable and pleasant one. This was
written, on behalf or tbe btate government and sent entirely separate from the
invitation of the Mayor, the Council and the citizens. The President replied to the Mayor's in
vitation and referred to the action of the Coun
cil and the citizens, but neither mentioned the
Governor's letter cor baa be replied to it separ
ately. This explains why the Governor has not personally joined in the welcome of the President upon the soil of Illinois.

INDIANA.
A Young Farmer Accidentally Shot and
Killed While Hunting. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
Logajjsport, Oct. 6. William Boyle, a young
and favorably-known farmer of Clay township,
and the nephew of Doctor Ball, was accidentally
shot and fatally wounded near Gingry Mills,
about seven miles northeast of the city, last
evening. The young man, in company with
seven other gentlemen, composed a huntimr
party that bad been on a trip up tha river. They
were returning last evenine about 6 o'clock.
While on the road home, at the above-mentioned
place, a large bird flew up and tbe party
thought they would have a little sport in shoot
ing the fowl. One of the company followed some distance away and shot. Tha bird was
then seen coming towards the main portion of the party. They were all in a large, two-horse wagon, exeept Boyle and the other gentleman who had followed the game. Boyle was immediately behind the wagon. Lafayette Ball, his
uncle, was in the wagon, and stood up and raised his heavy shot-gun to fire. The horses sudden
ly started. Ball fell backward, and the shot was
discharged, which took effect in the right side of Boyle's body. The thigh bone was shattered and the heavy charge penetrated deeply into the
flesh nearly through his entire body. He was taken to a near neighbor's residence, and Doctor
Jordan summoned. The wounded man was found in a critical condition. Doctor Jordan
extracted the shot, which he found lodged deep
ly in tbe skin on the opposite side from where
it entered. The injured man died this morning.
He was a prosperous young farmer, living near Spring-creek Church. He leaves a widow, but
no children. The Peace Meetlnjr at Richmond. The Richmond Palladium publishes the report of the arbitration and peace meeting, held in that city, speeches being made by William Jones, of London; Eli Jones, of Maine, and George Grubb, of Cork, Ireland. The following preamble and resolutions wore adopted: Whereas. During the last eighty years about forty cases of international arbitration have occurred, eighteen of which have been submitted by the United States and sixteen by the British Empire, ten of these cases having occurred during the last decade, and we thus have an unmistakable evidence of an increasing desire among nations to avoid the cruelty and destructiveness of war; and. Whereas. Two hundred and seven members of the British Parliament have sent a memorial to the Executive of our nation, desiring that the United States government may take measures to secure a treaty between that empire and the United States, which will provide that all cases of dispute that cannot be adjusted by diplomacy may be submitted to a court of arbitration for final adjustment; and, Whereas, the Senate of the United States during the last Congrss approved a bill by a unanimous vote, providing for a congress of delegates cf independent American nations, looking to an equitable adjustment of commercial exchange, coinage, and to arbitration as a substitute for war, which Dill failed to reach a final vote in the House of Representatives; and Whereas, It is anticipated that when such purposes as are here contemplated are consummated, Holland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, Belgkim. Switzerland and other European States will follow, and . their standing armies, which are a burden to all those nations, can disband and be a blessing to thousands of impoverished hcms; and Whereas, These measures have been recommended by every administration for the last twenty years; therefore. Resolved, That we hail with great satisfaction these indications of a desire of the nations for peaceful diplomacy, and especially by the two greatest English speaking nations, and throughout the American continent. Resolved, That we shall use our earnest efforts to secure the d?ired legislation by our Senators and Representatives in Congress, and especially to secure their influence and support of the prayer of the memorial from England above referred to. Besolved. That a codv of these resolutions be of
fered to the President of the United States, and to our Senator and Representatives in Congress, as an evidence of our desire for such legislation as will secure perpetual peace and good will among the . nations.

Training School fur Elkhart. Special to tha Indianapolis Journal. Elkhart, Oct 6. The project of securing the establishment of an industrial training school in this city is one of the matters that interests public attention at present It has been in consideration for several months by some of our enterprising and practical men of the place, and steps are now being taken toward its consummation. At a publio meeting it was decided to begin at once the initial steps of the undertaking, and to invoke State aid, the latter especially, as there is a feeling throughout this section that Elkart is entitled to a State institution of some sort. When State institutions have been under consideration in times past her claims have been urged, and more than once she has apparently been on tho eve of receiving recognition of this sort, but the prize has always slipped from ber and gone south. That an industrial school would bo of inestimable benefit to northern Indiana and southern Indiana there can be no question, and, judging from the measures being taken, Elkhart will have one.
