VOXEL OF THE CAMPAIGNERS

Ex-Gor. Porter and Geo. W. Harvey Discuss Political Questions at Wabash. Gen. Hovey'sLate Speech at New Castle John M. Butler at Warsaw Hon. John L. Griffiths in the Southern Part of the State. Special to lh Indiananolls JournalWabasij, Sept 11. Ex-Gov. Albert G. Porter this afternoon opened the campaign for the Republicans in this city in a telnne speech. The pera-house, seating over 1,000 people, was filled to overflowing, and many who came were unable to gain admifsion. 'Governor Porter was introduced to the andience by lion. H. Caldwell, and was warmly applauded when he appeared, on the stage, lie began his address by reviewing die history of the Republican party from its birth, in 135G, to the present time. He poke of its achievements in the suppression of the war, its establishment of a sound currency in substitution for the wild-cat rags of the old State banks, of its successful arbitration of the Alabama claims and the enforcement cf the Monroe doctrine, and the wiping oat of the curse of slavery. lie then launched out into a discussion of the tariff question, incidentally ridiculing the Democratic bugaboo of a demoraliizng surplus. Governor Porter d welt at length upon the prosperity which the country had enjoyed during the twenty years succeeding the close of tbe war, and attributed it entirely to the Republican protectire poliey.which had fostered manufacturing industries while yielding large revenue to meet the expenses of !e government. He denied . that ;he Republican had refused to reduce the war taxes, and showed that internal revenue taxes to the amount of $2,000,000 annually had been Abolished, while the rerenuo from customs had been reduced $73,000,000 per annum. Got. Porter said that while the Democratic party was always found opposing Republican legislation of everv kind, it coyer failed to come forward with a cordial indorsement of the same when it was found to operate successfully. Tbe fpeech was loudly cheered, and has done wonders in the lice of arousing tbe Republicans f the city and county to fighting pitch. At the conclusion of Governor Porters ad5 dress, George W. Harvey, a workingman who has made the tariff question an especial study, delivered a vigorous protection argument from the standpoint of a laeoriug man. He was fortified with a vast array of figures, and his speech was powerful and convinc ing. Throughout the three hours and a half consumed by the addresses ot the two speaker the immense audience Tut.niil vilVi h, olnaatt r.trantinn It wa a. , genuine old-time Republican lore-feast, and was a fitting opening oz what promises to he the liveliest campaign ever fought by tbe Republicans cf Wabash county. References to tbe Repub lican candidates for the presidency and for State offices were greeted with enthusiastic shouts, and if personal popularity counts for anything, the tnalonty for General Harrison, ana ilovey ana Chase in Wabash county will surpass any ever Isforegirea. General Ilovey at New Castle. Eiectal to Indianapolis Journal. Nkw Castle, Sept. 1L Generals Ilovey and Butsey addressed a large and enthusiastic audience of Henry county citizens at the court house, in this city, yesterday afternoon. Al though the meeting was not advertised, the news that General Hovey was in the city and would fddress the people of Henry county spread over the county like wild-fire. Lone before the time I ppointed for the speaking the crowd began to gour into the court-house, and cot an ineh of Standing room was left. V. hen the General ar rived he was given a moat enthusiastic greet- -. . . . vfog. After tne cheering cad ceasaa, uen. m. t?rose, in brier "but appropriate language. Introduced General Hovey to the audience. The cheering was renewed for many minutes. Quiet having at last been restored, General Hovey delivered a very pointed and able address. He discussed the issues of the campaign in a manner and with an earnestness tbat found a response in frequent bursts of ap plause. His references to the Union soldier, his sacrifices and his patriotism met the hearty ap proval of. his audience, as did, also, his aiscuslion of the pe-a qaesihn-T-. attention, sriven and the enthusiasm evoked demonstrate how fully the people of Henry county sympa thize with the Lmon soldier. General Bcssey, of New York, entered the room while General Hovey was speaking, and was greeted warmly by his old comrade. At tbe conclusion of General Hovey's address he was introduced to the audience, and for an hour and a half had its undivided attention, while he dis cussed in the ablest manner tbe many issues of the campaign. He paid special attention to the tariff and temperance Questions. His long expenance as a merchant has made him unusually competent to speak on the tariff. The Republic ans of Indiana are to be congratulated on hav ing secured tbe services of General Bussey. His arguments are able and convincing, and he will do great good wherever he speaks. Hand-shaking followed the address, and the way the old soldiers crowded around Generals Hovey and Bassey points the way the vote will co this fall. Good musie was furnished by the btrawn's Station Glee Club, the K. of P. band of tew Castle, and tbe Lewisville martial band. Warming: Up at Mlddletowu. fractal to the Indjapacolls Journal Mid DLETOWjf , Sept. 11. The Republicans of this locality are jest cow stirred up as they have cot been for years. They have been carrying the war into Egypt, and with telling effect. The events of the last few days have aroused them with renewed energy and determination. Last week a Harrison and Morton club, with a large membership, including several former Demosrats, was organized. The club was to hold Tegular meetings in Hedrick's Hall, the only public hall in the town. On Saturday the local managar of the Democrat ic party leased this hall for the campaign, and then denied the use ot it to the Republicans fur their club meetings or for public speakings. For a time they felt "'done for," but began to consider the advisability of building a log cabin for headquarters. This met with general fa vor. But at this time Dr. White Cloud, the famous Indian medicine man, came into town. lie was refused the hall in which to give his free Indian show, being told that only Democrat and Prohibition clubs could use it. Having thns learned the condition of affairs tbe Doctor stated that he would turn over his tent (ca pable of accommodating 3,000 people) and all 'Its appurtenances, to the Republicans of this plae. Tbe proposition was accepted and the vent arrived this evening and will be In position to-morrow. Dr. White 'Cloud is a red-hot Republican, and makes this sacrifice in the interest of his party. The Republicans will dedicate the tent to campaign purposes on Monday evening of next week, with an enthusiastic meeting. The Democrats have eioce proffered the Republicans the use of the jhell. but the offer has been refused. They propose to be independent and conduct a show of ft heir own in the interest of Harrison and Mor ton, Hovey and the full State ticket, protection end the "whole shooting-match. The gener osity of the donor is heartily appreciated by the Republicans here. This event has redounded to the good of the party, having contributed to make a worker of each individual member in the party and cementing tho rank and file as they have never been before. Marshall County Nominations, ffpecial to the Indiaoaoolis Joarnai. Plymouth, Sept. 11. The Republicans of Marshall county assembled in mass-convention in this city, at the Court-house l ark, on Saturday, snd nominated the following ticket! Rep resentative, Maj. W. M.

old voters came a distance of twenty miles in

order to be present Fully 1,000 people listened to the splendid speech of Hon. John M. Butler, and on every hand his address was moat highly complimented as a masterly array of facts and figures, showing fully that the Democratic par ty should cot be trusted with another four years for promises unf ulnllsd. It was a very enjoyable affair. Loveday's quartet and Lathrope'e Band furnished excellent musie. The news from Maine bad a tendency to arouse an intense enthusiasm among the assembled multitude. rJarshall Hacker at Martinsville. fotrZA to the Indianapolis Journal Martinsville, Soot, 11.

The Figures from Maine Cause Gloom in ..- D.mucnitlo Clrct, Fpeclal to the Indianapolis Joaroa. Washington, Sept 1L The result of the election in Maine has had a demoralizing effect upon the Democratic members of tbe House of Representatives, although the leadicg Demo crats have tried to explain it away, sneer at it, or ignore it altogether. A Democratic member who U not a candidate for re-election says that there is considerable consternation among those Democrats who neglected the interests of their districts to stand by the President and vote for tbe Mills bill. These men, many of whom have strong protection interests in their districts, have hung their .hopes of re-election npon the idea that the President would, with the aid of official patronage, turn things their way, and upon the expectation that his free trade theory would sweep tbe country, and so ehacga public sentiment as to make their fight easy. The failure of two or three of their number, lite Ermentrout, of Pennsylvania, and Hodd. of Wisconsin, to secure renomination, has broken their faith in tbe first idea, and the Maine election swept away the second hope. It looks now as if a good many of them would be left at home, and it is hinted that from this on there will be a scramble for re-election, and tbat each man will go home to his district and preach free trade or protection, or anything that be sees fit, in order to get hack. Several advocates of tbo Mills bill are said to be convinced that tha President made a mistake. A Washington Democrat of prominence, who has just returned from a visit to the Democratic national headquarters at New York, states that he found the committee very sanguine as to the election of Mr. Cleveland, but very seriously alarmed at the prospect of tbe next House cf Representatives. A number of Democrats, who are themselves members or are interested as stockholders in factories or corporations, have this year contributed only one-half of the sum formerly contributed by them to the national eampaigo. This in Itself is not an alarming faet, because the Democratic committee is supplied with an abundance of funds for all purposes; but the committee has learned that these gentlemen, who are contributing with one hand to tbe Democratic national campaign fund, have sect at least equally generous donations with the other hand for use in various congressional districts, the money to be used, moreover, toward electing those members to Congress who will favor protection. It appears that, as a matter of party pride, these gentlemen prefer to see a Democratic President in the White House, but, as a matter of cool business, their interest demands that the House shall be in the bands of the party which will protect the indus tries in which they have invested their money. The Democratic national committee, therefore, fears, says this gentleman, that, while they will elect their President, they will see him bound hand and foot by a Republican House. , The Latest Figures from Maine. Basgoe, Me., Sept 1L Three hundred and sixty-four out of 507 towns give Burleigh 70,730; Putnam, 52,177; Cashing, 2,106. Burleigh's plurality, 18,633, a net gain of 6,799 over the plurality of 16S6. The same ratio in the remaining towns will give Burleigh more than 20,000 plurality. Judicial Inquest on Cleveland' Message. Eac Claire, Wis., Sept 11. Wa Carson, the wealthy and recent president of the Valley Lumber Company, and a life-long Democrat, is about to offer to place $10,000 in cash in the hands of Governor Rusk, to be given to disabled ex-Union soldiers in case a committee of three, to be composed of two Republican Circuit judges and cne Republican Justice of the Supreme Court of Wiscocsio, will say, cpon due consideration, that Cleveland's last annual message is a free-trade document He will publish this offer next Saturday in an address to the voters of the United States in New York and other leading journals. Disappointed Girl Kills Herself. Providence. R. I, Sept 11. Minnie J. Brown, fonrteen years old, step-daughter of Samuel H. Allen, of East Providence, committed snicide, this morning, by shooting, tn her brother's room, io their cottage on King street, in that town. She was found lying ou the floor beside a chair. Near the outstretched hand of the girl lay a revolver, the mouth of its barrel black. There was a little pool of blood about the girl's head, and there was a bullet hole extending throng her right Uoplo and opening

out cear her left ear. A cote addressed to her brother also lay on the table, which read: Goodbye, bye, bye. God bless you, Bert, and

keep you from harm. I sleep to-night above." The only cause tbat can be assigned for the act was chaffing over the restraint imposed by her mother, who had forbidden a desired visit in another town, as the daughter's services were required at home. TOE SLAVE-TRADE OF TO-DAY. Horrible Details Given by Cardinal Lavlgerle at a Loudon Meeting;. London Spectator. Slavery, gin the proportions that it has now assumed, means tbe destruction of tbe tribes of tbe interior of Africa. Commander Cameron has declared that 500,000 slaves, at the least, are torn from their homes in central Africa every year and sold into slavery. Cardinal Lavicerie assures us, on the testimony of his own missionaries, that Cameron's estimate is under the mark. Consider wbat a drain tbat single fact represents on the population of the interior of Africa! For it must be remembered that the cumber actually sold into slavery is cot an exact equivalent of the depopulation that is going on. Many perish in the slave hunts, and more on the horrible march to the coast; and Cameron's estimate applies only to those who reach the coast The aged, the cripples, the weak all, in fact, who cannot walk to the coast, or who would fetch no price there are ruthlessly stein in the slave hunts. Yet their fate is more enviable than that of those whose lives are spared for the slave market. Tbe Cardinal gives a harrowing description of the march to the coast. To prevent escape the strongest and most vigorous have their bands tied, and sometimes their feet, in such fashion that walking becomes a torture to tbem, and on their nooks are placed yokes which attach several of them together. n In this way they are made to walk all day, bearing heavy loads, and at night a few handfulls of raw rice are thrown to them. Tbat is their only meal for tbe day. A few days of these hardships begin to tell even on the strongest. Tbe weakest soon succumb, and the weakest are naturally among the women. But terror sometimes nerves even a weak frame to almost superhuman efforts; and the Arab slave-driver adopts a summary method of striking terror into the hearts of tbe laggards. "In order to strike terror into this miserable mass of human beings their conductors,-, armed with a wooden bar, to economize powder, approach these who appear to be tbe most exhausted and deal them a terrible blow on the nape of the neck. The unfortunate victims utter a cry, and fall to tbe gro&nd in tbe convulsions of death. The terrified troop immediately resumes its march. Terror had imbued even the weakest with new strength. Each time any one breaks down the same horrible scene is repeated." This butchery goes on, even in the case of those who manage to struggle on, as soon a the experienced eye of the slave-driver sees that their strength will cot carry tbem to the coast. To save their food they receive a murderous blow from tbe mallet, and are left behind to' a lingering death. Tbe march sometimes extends over months, and such is the awful carnage, tbat "if a traveler lost the way leading from equatorial Afriea ta the town where slaves are sold he eould easily find it again by the skeletons of the negroes with which it is strewn." This prodigal waste of human lile has. in some districts, so thinned the population that the sieve-hunters are obliged to use f trategem to catch their prey. Their bands prowl in the forest and pounce upon the helpless women and children who go by. Things have reached such a pats cear the great lakes that now, in the words of one of the Cardinal's missionaries, "Every woman, every child that strays ten minutes away from their village has no certainty of ever returning." And the people who are tho victims of this cruel oppression are, according to the Cardinal, kind, industrious, amiable, and might be made, under happier influences, the means of making those parts ot Africa one of the most prosperous regions of the globe. The country is very fertile, and abounds in . natural resources. It possesses three zones first the low lands along the seaboard of the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Indian oceans. Toward tbe interior are two plateaus, one above the other, rising 2.000 and 4,000 feet respectively. Thf f e tablelands attract the rales, which feed the great lakes, oat of which Cow the four great African rivers with their affluents. Under civilizing Influences the country might be made one of the richest in the world, and it is large enough to offer room for some time to come to the surplus population of Europe. But the first condition is the extinction of tbat power which some sciolists would persuade ns is the predestined missionary and eivilizer of the population of Africa the power of Islam. The testimony of Cardinal Lavlgerle on this point is decisive. "It is this population numerous, and happy, and peaceable which Islam is exterminating at tLU moment fcjr caeaaaf her 1 . . & p . v . ' . ift-LUJiierf, sna vy virtue &i oer cucuine that the blacks are an inferior and cursed race, whom they are at liberty t treat worse than we treat our animals. jit Goi pre serve me from accusing without compulsion any man, especially any people! But I eannot resist saving to-dav that, of tbe errors so fatal to Africa, tbe saddest is that which teaches, as Islam does, tbat humanity is made up of two distinct species: One, that of believers, destined , to command; the other, tbat of the cursed, as they style them, destined to serve; and in the latter they think that the negroes constitute the lowest grade and are on a par with cattle. Havirfg reached by their co&quests tbe heart of a continent peopled by cegroea, the Moslems have, therefore, betaken themselves to the work, which is justified by their doctrines," . , So much for the boasted benefits which Islam . has bestowed on Africa. From every point of view it has boen a curse, and nothing elie. "It is a highly debatable queetioo." the,' Times thinks, "whether Mohammedanism is responsible to tbe degree wbieh tbe eloquent Cardinalmaintains." Tbe Times rests its skepticism on. some passages in the Koran which recomuiecded kindness to slaves. It is irrelevant to quote the , Koran in this controversy, for that book;' so full ' of contradictions, is not the guide of life for Mos-. lems. The vast majority of them cannot read . it, and know little about its teachings. Their ' rule of conduct is the traditional teaching of, Islam in every modern school and 'village, and that is perfectly 'consistent with; all the! horrors of slavery. Besides, the Kor&uio precepts quoted in the Times refer to Moslem; slaves, and have no bearing whatever on con-; Moslem, still less on oegro slavery. .Cardinal' Lavigerie insists and Cardinal Manning aereea , with him that the progress of Islam iu Africa ' cannot be effectually resisted except ly forcu ' Force is its own conquering weapon,' and by force it must be opposed. We see no . reason to" question the Cardinal's judgment in the matter. ' But how and by whom is the force to be applied? His experience does not surgest any specific, policy. Like the Crusader that he claims to be,, be leaves to the secular governments of . Chrls-f tendom the responsibility of devising a BChame. , It is plain tbat cruisers along the coast. do very' little to stop tbe nefarious traQc. Our hope must lie in establishing centers of civilization here and there in the interior of Africa, and: thus organizing the natives, so that, with mod-' ern weapons in their hands, thoy may b's ibltj' tp not only hold their own against the armed emujsum ui isiaiu, uub iu coulee oi vima io uilYO tnem out oz tne country. ; The Locomotive Firemen. , V Atlanta, Ga., Sept 11. Whl' the question of federation has not been discus?ed by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, everything seems to indicate their hearty indorsement of the amalgamation of the brotherhoods of engineers, firemen, switchmen and brakemen.v The public exercise's last night were a grand success. The principal addresses were by Mayor Collier, Gov. Gordon, Grand Master Sargent, Grand Chief Arthur, -of tbe engineers, Hon. Hoke Smith and Grand Master Wilkinson, cf the brakemen. Gov. Gordon's welcome was received with wonderful demonstrations of applause. He began, "Lsdiee, gentlemen, fellow-citizens and brothers." As the last word dropped from his lips the 1,500 people present rose and cheered for five minutes. Chief Arthur's speech was full of friendship for the other organizations. Losses by Fire. Mason City, la,, Sept. 11. Lightning played havoo in this section during the storm yesterday. The Methodist church at Nora Springs, valued at $3,000 and insured for SI, 000, was struck and burned to the ground.

THE YETEKAKS ON PARADE

The Largest and Most Snccessftil Demonstration Ever Made by the G. A. R. An Enormous Street Procession Containing Many Ncvel and Attractive Features A Day of Cheering: and Kindly Feeling. Columbus, O., Sept 11. During last eight the old veterans, with their wives and children, continued to pour into the city, and the camps and streets are about filled. Many people remained in the depot waiting-room over night without trying to find sleeping quarters; but all who wished were comfortably provided with beds and cots. At an early hour tbe Grand Army men in uniform, and led by drum corps, began to form for tbe parade, which was one of the grandest ever witnessed on a similar occasion. There were eighteen divisions, eight of them eomprising the Ohio department, which is out in full force. The ninth division was made ud of the Veteran Crippled Soldiers Association, Mexican veterans, Andrews raiders, the naval squadron and the Fifth United States Colored Volunteer Infantry. The Department of Illinois constituted the tenth division; Wisconsin and Iowa combined to make the eleventh; Indiana divided into the twelfth and thirteenth divisions; Kansas came in tho fourteenth; tbe fifteenth included Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Missouri, Minnesota, Maryland, Maine, New Jersey and Virginia; Michigan was the sixteenth division; the seventeenth comprised.Californla, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, West Virginia. Vermont, Arkansas, New Mexico, Utah, Tennessee, Georgia, Dakota, Fotomac, Colorado, Delaware, Oregon, Kentucky, Washington Territory, Gulf, Florida, Montana and Texas; and the Sons of Veterans came in as the eighteenth division. In advance of the divisions, which marched in numerical order, were the police, the commander of the parade, and the commander-in-chief, with their staffs and Ohio battle-flag-bearing battalion. On Broad street, north of the State-house, an immense and beautifully-decorated reviewing stand held the distinguished guests of tho occasion. All along the line of march tbe streets were densely packed with interested and at times excited spectators, the sight of the grizzled and gray "boys1 bringing tears and snouts of admiration. The time that has elapsed since they fought so bravely and well for their country has increased the love and admiration the people have for them and their deeds, and there were continuous waves of applause up and down tbe city as the veterans marched by. The old soldiers themselyes joined in the enthusiasm and heartily cheered in response, especially asLtbey passed the reviewing stand, on which stood "Old Tec amp" and other of their former leaders. The parade was the most successful ever held by the orgsnizatlon, without any exception. For hour after hour, the immense procession tiled along, and still it etretehed away into tbe distance, so that its end could not be seen. In great contrast to the encampment of last year at St Louis, tbe weather was superb, and neither rain nor dust came to interfere with tho success of the occasion. Gen. W. T. Sherman appeared on the stand at 11 o'clock, and was received by the crowd with cheers. Mrs. General Logan, Mrs. General Alger and Mrs. Governor Foraker appeared soon after, and were welcomed in the same way. Judge Tburman also occupied a eeat on the stand. Duriog the parade, Governor Foraker, Generals Alger and Fairehild, Commander-in-Chief Rea. ex-President Hayes and wife, Governor Thayer, of Nebraska, and many others, took seats reserved for them on the stand. Along the line of march the crowd was densely paeked on the sidewalks, and the only wsy to get around was to break through the guard that held the erowd back and run tor it in the space reserved for the procession. So many excellent features were to be observed in the parade that it Would be almost impossible to give any idea of its character. Ohio was out in force, and buckeyes were numerous, being used as trinkets and as canes. The G. A. R. post from Hamilton. O., was armed with these canes. Youthful drum corps were numerous, and the boys not oily knew how to play their instruments, but they also drilled well and were repeatedly cheered. The drums were the only accoutrements that rsealled the dark days of the war. "Garden-truck" and chickens reminded one , of "Sherman's bummers;' an immense bras canteen, carried by halt a dozen men, a stuffed eagle, and many other such matters were especial features for the cheers of the spectators. The Garfield Post of Mentor, whiah carried an excellent likeness cf President Garfield, attracted much attention. When the Sheridan battalion, ot Somerset, O., marched by the stand there was tumultuous cheering, as also was the case on the appearance of John A. Logan Post and U. S. Grant Post. Col. Vol Copp Post, of Baltimore, also had with xt a beautiful cannon, made entirely of Buckeyes. All through the procession, and especially in Ohio's' part of it, there were old and battle worn flags, which brought tears to the eyes of veterans and cheers from all The ex-prisoners of war and the Andrews raiders were favorites with tbe crowds, and kept all the time responding to applause. The navals quadron, from which daylight fireworks were kept going, made things lively. Naturally, this Ohio town cheered the Ohio boys, but they did not atop there. When tbe other States began to pass, a warm and heartv welcome greeted them. And this was not alone because they were welcome visitors, but because their soldierly bearing and their general excellence of drill would, in many cases, win applause from an enemy. Illinois came first after Ohio, and a very hearty greeting was accorded that State's noble representatives. Mrs. Logan was evidently their especial pet, for the veterans passed by their old leaders and tho reviewing stand and cheered and sainted the wife of gallant "Black Jack," and as she stood with glistening eyes and waved back a response tbe kindly smile on lie.- beautiful face gave evideneeof how much she loved those who had braved danger with her beloved husband. Besides banners, Wisconsin announced herself with a badger, which was carried just behind Governor Rusk as he marched on foot with his comrades. The Lincoln Post drum corps received much deserved praise for the quality of tbe musie made on the drums and fifes. Commander Curtis and Senator Miller headed New York's well-drilled veterans. The sight of a small delegation from Maine called forth long continued cheers. Missouri, marching in strong lines, as if just ending four years active service, received something of an ovation, St Louis and Kansas City being especially and deservedly applauded. Michigan was headed by Farquhar Post of Detroit, in which General Alger marched ou foot, much to the delight of bis comrades. California's appearance last night caused some applause, but to-day tbe attractive uniforms and almost perfect drill of the San Francisco Veteran Club called forth cheer after cheer as they marched in even line and with steady step, without a brake or a waver. Rhode Island had a similarly dressed and drilled delegation. The old guard of Washington, with their big shakos and tine drill called out much applause. Every department was choered heartily, the veterans being perfectly willing to get hoarse themselves in taeir endeavor to fitly respond. The Southern States came in for about the heartiest cheers that were accorded to any of the delegations. Aside from their drilling and marching, the Sons of Veterans, nearly all in uniform and many carrying arms, deserved all of ti e continued applause tbat greeted them. One notice able and much-applauded feature was the eight of the seven hundred children from the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors' Orphans' Home, at Xenia, who had come in a special train to see the parade. Little Clifford Grapes, aged six, drilled for a minute in front of the stand, as the Cincinnati Soua of Veterans passed in their march, and was cheered heartily. The procession was four hours and forty minutes passing the re-viewing-etand, and all marched quickly. After the parade about 10,000 people crowded up to the reviewing stand to call for speeches. Gov. Foraker took charge of the meeting, and one after another introduced the distinguished people who stood around, the crowd cheering each came. More were added, and, although the meeting lasted but a few minutes, over SO,. 000 were shouting and cheering before the crowd dispersed, fcr Mrs. Logan, Mrs. Alger, Mrs. Johnston, Mrs. Foraker, Mrs. Fred Grant, exPresident Hayes, Col. Fred Grant, John A. Logan, jr., and others. This evening the officers of the national organization dined at the Commercial Club. The National officers and members of the staff met in the law library at the State-house, and some pleasant remembrances were there given to tbeir chiefs. Commander-in-chief Rea received a beautiful gold badge; Ad jt.-gen. Daniel Fish was presented with a massive solid silver server, on which was worked a beautiful G. A, K. em

blem; also, a beautiful tea set; and Quartermaster-general John Taylor received a solid silver canteen. The evening was devoted to camp-fires, which continued late into the night A general reception to the Grand Army of the Repoblic. presided over by Deputy Commander O'Neil, was held in the big tent, which was crowded to iu utmost capacity, from 12.000 to 15,000 people being present. Gov. J. B. Foraker delivered the address of welcome, which took hold of the audience, and cheers and clapping of, hands punctured his remarks. This speech, of tie kind the Governor is so accustomed to deliver, abounded in patriotic sentiments stated in h a peculiar manner. After speaking at soms length of the sacrifices and patriotism of his comrades of the late war, he spoke of tbe surplus in tbe United States treasury as a resnlt of the saving of the country, and expressed his desire to use it up ia paying it to those wbo earned it during the war. He expressed his contempt for those wbo hired substitutes, and when tbe audienee yelled, "Hit him again, he said he was not hitting any one, but as tbe representative of the people of Ohio he must talk plain, and whether it hurt any one was not his business. In conclusion, he welcomed the State's guests because tbe people of Ohio believed in the war and the Grand Army, and the people do not care for any one who don't believe in the Grand Army, lie toM them to help themselves to anything they wi.nted in tbe State, and no one would hold them accountable. Mayor Brock welcomed the G. A. R. to the city, which, he said, they had already taken. Gen. W. T. Sherman was introduced, and after a minuto of most tumultuous applause he started by calling them "comrades by the acre. Atter expressing bis love for them, he said they had given their "old uncle' supreme pleasure by their noble and soldierly bearing during the day. He remarked, "Of course we were right. I would not question tbe fact by discussing the subject, which has been settled right by the God or battles." After stating that bm was the last of tbe old commanders, but tbat he proposed to stay with them aa long as possible, he thanked tbem and sat down. Another storm of applause closed his speech. Commander-in-chief J. P. Rea, in his speech, said tbat the welcome given by Ohio to-day was never equaled by any other welcome, and the pageant of the day was the grandest of the century, excepting only the final grand review at the close of tbe war. He paid a glowing tribute to the veteran sons of Ohio and to tbe women who suffered in silence while their children, or husbands, or lovers, were fighting and dying at front He had attended encampments for years, but in Columbus he bad heard less grumbling than anywhere else and he had never seen more people together. He believed the G. A. R. had done more than any other organization to bring about tbe time when war shall be no more. They have given the world this Republic. He reminded them that the G. A. R. was a fraternal organization, and told them to be , true to each other and their organization. Mr. Hendershot, the "Drummer-boy of the Rappahannock,' gave the long roll on his drum, an excellent imitation of a battle, which stirred np the 'vets' greatly. Gen. S. H. Hurst, of Ohio, spoke next welcoming "the boys," who, he said, were out as never before, and made him want to shout hallelujah. He spoke at some length ot the glorious struggles and grand results of the war. Governor Foraker read a telegram from Mrs. Grant expressing her regret at her inability to be present CoL Fred Grant was called out and thanked the G. A. It. for honoring the came of his father so much, and for welcoming him so kindly. Chaplain in-chief Anderson, of Connecticut made a witty speech which kept the audience in a roar for some time. John A. Logan, jr., was called out and thanked them for remembering him aa the son of his illostrious father, and spoke in a manner tbat pleased tbe audience immensely. During the evening music was furnished by the Canton, O., band and a Columbus male chorus of 200 voices. General Fairehild was introduced as an Ohio boy, cow of Wisconsin, and he said his adopted State equaled the best for loyalty, and it is today true to the same principles. None fought for tbeir own States, but for tbe United States. They had fought for every State; they fought for the Southern States, and got them. He denounced as a lie the published statement tbat tbey had fought the for North, saying again that they had fought for the Nation. He joined with others in speaking of the immensity of this encampment Encampments are schools of patriotism, and he loved them. He did not love those who did cot love the G. A. IC. which, he

said, attended strictly to its own businoes of caring for the old soldiers. In Witconsin, he sai, there is not to-day an old soldier, nor the wife of an old soldier, in any poor-house. He closed by saying tbe G. A. R. was an organization he loved, and he believed it would continue its work, notwithstanding the criticisms of any one. Governor Thayer, of Nebraska; General Hovey, of Indiana, and several others addressed the veterans, who gave doss attention to all that was said. Besides the big-tent camp-fire, very enjoyable, although smaller, camp-fires were held at the different camps. In many cases the old veterans preferred to start a small fire, gather a company of a dozen or more, and then recall the many experiences of their years of campaigning. A big and enthusiastic meeting was held at the east front of the Capitol, presided over by Deputy Commander Washington Gardner, of Michigan, and having for chief orator Corporal Tanaer, of New York. This speaker is a great believer in pensions, and longs for the early approach of the time when no more veterans of the late war can be found in the poor-houses. At Camp Hayden, Josiah Given, of Iowa, was the speaker, but tbe comrades enjoyed themselves chiefly by reciting their experiences in small groups. Deputy Commander J. W. Feighan, of Kansaa. presided at North Neil camp, and an enjoyable reunion was held. The local Women's Relief Corps gave'a 'successful reception to the members of tbat order who are in tbe city at the Deaf and Dumb Asylum this evening. Estimates of the number of men in the parade to-day are close to tbe same figure, and range from C5.000 to 70,000, but even then all the G. A. R. men in the vicinity were cot In lice. "Dixie" was plsyed by one of the bands as it ceared tbe reviewing stand and the crowd cheered to the echo. Every band played "Marching through Georgia" one or more times on the route. Visitors unan imously praised Columbus as an entertainer. I Many touching meetings of old comrades tre witnessed almost hourly. Men wbo had cot met since the muster-out at the close of the war saw each other and fairly embraced each other in their eagerness to have a talk. The encampment proper will begin to-morrow. Sessions will be open only to members of the G. A. R. Tbe New York delegation has decided to push Deputy Commander Curtis, of that State, for commander-in-chief. A Report That Will Make 31 at son Very Tired. Colnmtns Special to Chlcaso Tribune. The sensation of the Grand Army encampment will take place whon the committee on pension legislation shall make its report The document will be the most caustic one of tbe kind that has been presented to a national encampment for years. When Colonel Matson, chairman of tbe House committee on invalid pensions and Democratic candidate for Governor of ' Indiana, reads it, he will wish he had caver been born. His juggling with pension legislation in the House, and his demagogic methods will be folly exposed, and the whole responsibilty for the failure of this Congress to pass a general pension bill will be placed cpon him and Speaker Carlisle. Nor can tbe document be called a political one. No names will be mentioned in it. though it will pointedly declare in a way that cannot be misunderstood that tbe chairman of the House committee on invalid pensions is responsible for the failure to pass the pension bill. The story is told in a spirited way in this report Those who have seen it say it will create a big sensation and may cause a heated debate. It shows tbat at tbe National encampment a year aco a resolution was passed declaring in favor of a bill substantially like the one vetoed by Clevelandfaod which Matson then seemed to favor. This bill in a somewhat modified form was presented to Congress by the pensions committee of the Grand Army of the Republic and passed the Senate. When it reached the House Chairman Matson of the committee on invalid pensions had changed front and was advocating the passage of a service pension bill, a measure which the Grand Army has never favored. About tbe time the dependent pension bill passed tbe Senate Matson was nominated for Governor of Indiana by the Democrats. He hurried back to Washington from Indianapolis and one day quietly passed in a report from his committee recommending the pascage of a service pension bill. The Grand Army pension committee will point out that this was directly contrary to the recommendation of that body, made a year ago, and will severely criticise Matson (though not mentioning his came) for pushing his private plan in defiance of the great soldiers' organization. Attention will also be called to the fact that, although Matson presented the report on his bill three months ago, he has never asked that a day or an hour be set aside for its consideration. At no time has he shown a desire to have that bill or any other passed, and for these reasons the Grand Army committee declare be is responsible for the failure of Congress to pass some sort of a bill. The attitude ot other members of the House, especially Speaker Carlisle, will alao be shown np. It is impossible to have a day set aside (or

What It Costa to Enter the Big Institutions and the Amouot Necessary for Luxuries. 2ew York Mail and Express. This is the time of year when ambitious girls in different parts of the country are counting the costs of a college education. Fortunately for them the scale of expenditure in the colleges open to women has not riaen high enough to snake the most economical damsel uncomfortable among her richer classmates. Practically, without exception, the standards cf dress in the girls colleges are simple, and, more than that, the plucky young woman wbo is working her way through a four years course on short commons of pocket money is ofta elevated into something very like a heroine. At Vassar College the smallest sum on which a girl can pay her bills, aside from scholarship aid, is about $430. Of this amount $100 is for tuition and 1300 for board and washing. A genius in thrift and Vassar eees such a genius caw and then can buy her books and stationery and supply herself with the small incidentals dear to school girls for the remaining $50. Car fere, if she goes home between terms, and the larger items of dress are cot included. Necessary expenses at Smith. Wellesley and . Byrn Mawr do not vary greatly from these figures. Five hundred dollars would represent the average yearly expenditure of co small proportion cf tbe girl students in Eastern schools. Six hundred dollars is a liberal allowance, ahd $700 more tban luxurious. Tbe largest sums spent hardly rise above the minimum which the president of Harvard deemed necessary for comfort and peace of mind at Cambridge. Boston University, of the co-ed ucatiocal schools, has co dormitory system, and girl students from a distance exercise no s 21 all ingenuity in housing and feeding themselves without overweening board bills. Four dollars a week, when necessary, some cf them find it possible to live for, or ?MS for thirty-seven weeks in tbe city. Add $100 for tuition and &0 fcr books, car-fate and incidentals, and a year schooling is provided at a cost of $300. Some of tbe country colleges, while giving a substantial education, treat the pocket-book with great leniency. St. Lawrenco University, in the northern part of New York, for instance, tutors young women as well as men for $10 a year, and the townspeople take them to tbeir hearts and their best gcst chambers for $3.50 a week. Education there stiU costs substantially what it r.sad to at tho oMer schools in the pioneer days.
