Democratic rale; but the dawn is breaking, and if my prediction comes trne and the indication are it will in the coming November La Porte county will help aweH the Reoabliean majority in this State for you and the entire ticket, i Applause. J We cotne to pledge to joa or friendship for you personally and renew our pledge of loyalty to the party which has chosen yon for ita standard-bearer. ' As the Demecrata gave us in 18 S4 three R', in onr congressional district, we now Lave three H's Harrison, Horsy -' and Ilayne. In responding, General Harrison spoke even neve) deliberate and impressively than usual. He said: "My Illinois and my Indiana Friends If I seeded any stimulus to doty, or to have my inpresaiocs of tbe dignity and responsibility of representative office increased, I should find it in such assemblies as these, and in tbe kind and thoughtful words which bare been addressed to xne on your behalf. The American people, fender our system of government, have their publie interests in their own keeping. All laws and proclamations nay be revoked or repealed by them. They will be called upon in November to mark rut a revenue policy for our government by choosing pnblie officers pledged to tbe principles "which a majority of our people approve. Fortunately you hate no aa issue very clearly drawn and very easy to be understood. In previous campaigns we bava not Quite known where our adversaries stood. Now we do know. Oor Demoeratio friends say that a protective tariff is robbery. You sea this ' written at the bead of campaign tracts circulated by their committees. Von bear it said in tb publio speehes of their leaders. Ton have cot once, I think, in the campaign heard any Democratic speaker admit that oven a. low protective tariff was desirable. Those who, like Mr. Randall, have in former campaigns been used to allay the apprehension of onr working people by talking proteetioo, have been silenced. On the other band, the Republican party declares by its platform and by its speakers that a protective tariff is wise and necessary. There is the issue. Make your own choice. If yon approve by your votes the doctrine that a protective tariff is public robbery, yon will expect yonr representatives ' to stop this public robbery, and if they are faithful they will do it not 7 per" cent, of fj it, but all of it. Applause and cries of That's it." So that I beg you all to recollect that yon will vote this fall for or against the ' principle of protection. Yon are invited to a feast of cheapness. You are promised foreignmade goods at very low prices, and domestic 'competing goods, if any tre made, at the same low rates. Bat do not forget that the specter of I lower wages will also attend the feast. Apj plans and cries of That's so, 'J Inevitably, as certain aa tbe night follows tbe day, the adoption I of this policy means lower wages. Choose, then; - but de not forget that this cheapening process may bm pushed so far aa to involve the cbeaoenL.g of human life and the loss of human happiIness. I Applause. 1 And now a word about the surplus in the 'treasury. Our Democratic friends did not know what else to do with it and so they have tepositei it in certain national banks. The government gets no interest upon it, but it it leaned out by the banks to our citizens at interest. Our income is more than our current expenses. There is no authority for the Secretary Of the Treasury to lend the money, and so only three methods of dealing with it presented themselves, under the law. First, to lock it up in the treasury vaults; second, to deposit It in tba banks without interest, or third. to use it in the purchase of eur bends cot yet due. The objection to the first method wa3 that tbe withdrawal of so .large a sum might result in a monetary stringency. The second obviated this objection by allowing tbe banks to put the money in circulation: but neither method resulted in any advantage to the government. As to it tbe money was ' deed; only the banks received interest for its use. By the third method the money would be returned to tbe channels of trade, and the government wonli make.the difference between the premium paid for the bond and the interest that the bonds would deaw if left outstari'nj until they matured. "If the government bond at the market premium is a good investment for a capitalist who uls free to use his money as be ploases, ean it be .bad finance for the government, having money jibat it cannot use in anv other way, to use it in rhuytngup Its bondsl Great applause. It is not whether we will purposely raise money to bey our bonds at a premium no one would advise that but will we so use a surplus that we have) on band and cannot lawfully pay out in any other way. Do our Democratic friends propose to give the banks the free use of it till our bonds mature! Or do they propcre to redoca our annual income below our anoaal expenditure, by a revision of the tariff, until this surplus is used, and then revise the tariff again to aeegtarj fijrrilQnml Great applause. I welcomed preeence to cay of the? e ladies of your households. T7e should not forgtt that . we have working women in America Applause and cries of 'Good,' 'Good, and that none more than tbey are interested in this policy cf protection watch we advocate. If want and hard con ditions cone into the borne the women bear a fall share, f Applause. And now I have been tempted to speak more at length than I had intended. I thank yon for this eordtal manifestation of your confidence and respect. At 3:13 P. SL a delegation of SCO Grundy county, Illinois, Republicans, delayed by a failure in connections ea route, arrived, and, with, good musio and banners flying, roused further enthusiasm as they marched into the park, a marked feature of this procession being the Logan dub in uniform, with, grey hats banded with blue ribbon, and a large delegation of ; ladies with red white and bine sashes. Their ' reception was an exceedingly pleasant one. Ex-Congressman P. C Hayes, of Morris, their spokesman, having the bappy faculty of making a presentation address without any of the stiffness ind unnecessary formality that frequently : characterizes such efforts. He gave bis entire attention to General Harrison, looked pleasant, and spoke as follows: General Harrison I have been designated bv these stalwart-looking men and these ladies that are here on the platform, to say a word to you, to let you know ho we are, whence we came, and what we are here for. You ean tU by looking into these cen'a faces that they are Be publicans they are a clean-looking lot of men. We come from Grundy county, lllinoi. I suppose you Lave beard of Illinois, if not of Grand wnttT. We are, bora, to see the next President of the United States. tApplause.J We have a sort of friendly feeling for you because Indiana and Illinois li side by side, and I remember that daring the days cf the war, when some of us fellows were at the front, trying to pat down a Dtrcocratio rebellion, we bad gallant Dick Yates and gallant Oliver P. Morton work rc here side by side to cheer ns at the front. So we feel a sort of brotherly interest in Ben Harrison, and we have come from the State where a majority cf the people eannot forget the teachings of Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant and John A. Logan, to pay our respects to you. because yoa repre aeotus on the national ticket, and because you represent the grand principles that underlie the iiepublicn party. Applause. A11 we want is a little hearty talk, and that you will allow ns to come up and shae yonr hands, and then we will go back to our dcty in Grundy eour.tr, and I pledee you everv one of these men. acme of whom voted for William Henry Harrison in 1836 and 1810. and some of whom will cast their first votes in IbSS for Geu. Ben Harrison, will do their utmofct to help Illinois roll up a majority of 40,-' 0(J0 for Harrison and Morion and ta Kepubiican party. Applause. General Harrison's reply was marked by the same friendly manner as that shown by the address made him, and ho spoke in an animated and cordial way while answering: General Hayes and my Illinois Friends I regret that yonr arrival was postponed so long as to make it imnoesible for you to meet with the ether friends from your State who. a little while aeo, assembled about the platform. I thank you for the kind feelings that prompted you to come, and for tbe generous things General Hayes has said in your behalf. There is lit is that I ean say ana little that I can appropriately do to promote the success of Re

publican principles. A. campaign mat enlists the earnest and active co-operation of the individual voters will have a safe issue. I am glad to see in your preeence an evidence that in your locality this individual interest is felt. Dut popular assemblies, publie debate and conventions are all an empty mockery unless, when the debate is closed, the election is so conducted a? that every elector shall have an equal and full influence in determining the result. That is our compact of government. I thank you again for your great kindness, and it will now giro tre pleasure to accede to tbe suggestion of Gen. Hayes and take each of yon by the band." Following General Harrison's reply a large number of the members of tbe Thirteenth Indiana Infantry, who were here attending their annual reunion, were introduced by Colonel Foster, and General Harrison shook hands with each of them as he bad done previously with the members of tbe different delegations which preceded them. Another pleasant happening connected with the presence of Indiana veterans in tbo city was a visit of members of the Second Cavalry, Ninth Cavalry and Twenty-sixtb Infantry, later in the afternoon, to General Harrison at his residence on North Delaware street. CoL John A. Bridgland introduced the veterans with the following brief remarks: General Htrrison My old regiment the Second Indisaa Cavalry, the Ninth Indian Cavalry and the Twenty-sixth Indiana Infantry are ail here, to-day, holding a reunion, and. having "a great desire to pay their rpct to you. have come to yonr borne. I tare the plea or of introducing tliern, I belief e, to oar next President, for ytcm I propose three cheers. Some of the circumstances connected with ts Tbit pre it a tuncrous character, and Geu

Harrison fell in with the spirit of the occasion, bis reply being frequently interrupted with laughter. He said: "Colonel Bridgland and Comrades I am fast losing my faith in men. Laughter. This morning afepretensative or two 'of this regiment called upon me and made an arrangement that I should receive yen at this hour. It was expressly stipulated though I took no security laughter that there should be no speech-making at all. Now. I find myself formally introduced to you and under tbe necessity of talking to yon. Laughter. I am under so much stress in this way. from day to day. that I am really getting to be a little timid when I see a corporal's guard together anywhere, for fesr they will want a sneech. Laughtr. And even at home; when I sit down at the table with my family, I have some apprehensions lest some one may propose a toast and insist that I shall respond. Lausbter. 'I remember that the Seeond Indiana Cavalry was the first full cavalry regiment that I ever saw. I saw it marching through Washington street from the windows of my law office, and, as I watched the long line drawing itself through the street, it seemed to me that toe call for troops might stop; that there were certainly enough men and horses there to put down tbe rebellion. (Lanchter.) It is clear that I did not rightly measure toe capacities of a cavalry regiment or the dimensions of the rebellion. Lauchter. I am elad tosee yon here to-day. You come as soldiers and I greet you as comrades. I will not allude to polities! topics on which any of us might difer. A voice: 'There ant any differences. ' Of course tbe members of the Nioth Cavalry and the Twenty-sixth Infantry must understand that I am speaking to all my comrades. A voice: Tbe Twentysixth were waiting for the cavalry to get out of the way.' Iw;htr. ' Well, dnrlng the war von were willing to wait, weren't youl (Hearty laughter). I was coins to say that I bad an express promise from Mr. Adams, of tha Twentysixth Inliaca, that there should bo no speaking on te occasion of your visit. Laughter Perhaps bis comrade of the Twenty-sixth will ssy 1 had not fcuiiicient reason for so thinking. .13 we a!l know that be is given to jokinr. LsuehW. I will be pleased now to meet eaeh .

ol you personally. Tee reception ended with a few minutes pleasant social intercourse. General and Mrs. Harrison shaking hands heartily with each member of the various commands as they filed through the hallway of the residence. INCIIIKNTS OF TIIC DAY. The Man Who Employed James A. Garfield a. a Driver on the Tow-rath. In the Grondy county delegation yesterday was a gray-haired, feeble and nnostentatiouslooking man, who attracted little attention from the tbro.3?s on the streets or about tbe hotels, yet he bud a history which male him of great interest to all who were aware of the distinction that belonged to him. He owned the canal boat cf which ex-President Garfield, when a boy, was driver. Tbe old gentleman's name is Geo. P. Augustine, and be is seventy-seven years of age. Ho started cut on yesterday's expedition to se General Harrison full of animation. A Journal reporter asked him concerning his association with tbe lad who afterwards became President. "It was iu 1S40,' said he io reply, "that I lived in Stark county, Ohio, and was the owner of a boat which ten between Cleveland and Portsmouth, on tbe Ohio canal. I was in want of a driver, aod my cook teld me she was acquainted with a lad who wanted the job. She said his name was J mini Garfield, and that he lived not many miles from Cleveland. She also declared tbat be was a good, fa'.thful boy, and I told her to bring him to me. The next day she got oil the boat at the twelve-mile loci?, as we called it, twelve miles this side of Cleveland. and told us to etop for her an we came back. We did so, and found her waiting in company with a lad about cine or ten years of aeo. 'Captain, I have brought you a driver,' she said, and when I said I was gUd of it, as I had kept the place for him, she aided, '1 knew Jimmie would come.' She was a friend of his family. Her name was Iretta Ives; I do not know what became of her." How did young Garfield impress your the roporter asked him. 44 As a very smart boy. He also bad about as fine a disposition ae any lad I ever saw, being generous and kind-hetrted as well as energetic. That was in the fall of IS 10. and I remember that when election day eame X wanted one of his horses from the tow-path, in order to ride twelve miles ahead to the place of voting in ore er to east my ballot for General Harrison. Vouug Garteid not only gave me the hore, bu insisted ou my taking bis saddle. 'It will be rather bard pulling for one horse,' said be, 'and I will walk and drive in order to make it easier for bim ' He did it through all of tha twelve uiles and over. Tnat goes to show bow careful be was of horses.'' "How long did he drive for joxxV "lie stayed until nanratien closed, which was early iu December. He bad begun in October, so that he drove for me about two months. After be left me I hesrd nothing more of him until he had grown up and bgan to get famous." A Gigantic iUg-IIearer. They raise great corn in tbe Vermillion and Iroquois marsh region of Illinois, or rather in the portion of it that has corns uoder tbe subtile influence of the draining diteh. But no greater evidence cf tbe soil's fertility was apparent iu the Illinois delegation yesterday than tre xna&sive form of one of tbe colored flagb&rera. His came is Robert Meredith. He is fcrty-eight yeara of ace, straight a an arrow, six and a half feet high, and weighs 21 Z pounds. Hi home is near Onarza. where he owns a good farm and raises 100 baeiiels of corn to ths acre. Besides being worth considerable money, which he has coaxed out of the ground by industrious work, he is a man of influence in his neigbbor-bo-v), and takes an active part in polities, believing that the Republican party will eventullv solve a plan for enfranchising his race in toe South. A Medal of the OH Carapatifn. Some time since Sberifl H. . Spencer, who ret:des at Yorktown. Virginia, cbtained from a colored man in that vicinity on-j of the original 1810 Harrison medal, which was found the day General Harrison's nomination was made, while digring up some earth near Yorktown. Sheriff Spencer tent it to Mr. H. J)eB. Clay, of Newport New?, Virginia, who yesterday called upon General Harrison, and presented' him with th valuable and interesting aouvenir. 2nr. Clay give a very encouraging account of the Republican situation in Virginia, and tbe demoralization of the Democrats there growiug out of Cleveland methods. n)enel from the Visitors. Major Wood, of Michigan City, editor Sonneborn. of tbe LaPorte Republican, and Major B'ddle, of the same city, were among yesterday's visitors. The John A. Logan Club, of Chicago, the Lat alio German-American Club, and several other clut., will visit General Harrison on Saturday, tbe 2Uth instant. Tne Republican commercial traveling men of Chicago will start from that city Saturday morning at S o'clock to pay their respects to General Harrison. Mr. O. P. Augustine, of Bracevilie, 111., a veteran of eeventy-sven years, who voted for the elder Harrison m 1840, accompanied the Grundy county delegation. Tbe jaunty little eruth bats worn by many of tha yonoir girls who accompany the visiting 'delegations have become generally known as the Harrison bat. They are made in all shades, from whits to black, and are becoming to young faces. LaPorta'e fine band of twenty pSeees. which furnished magnificent musio in ceoerons quantity here yesterday, is now presided over by Mr. William Reeve, and w3 at one time under the charge of Professor Belcher, of this city. It gave tha Journal office a serenade. Among the Illinois delegations yesterday were State Senator Secrist, of Iroquois; Judge S. G. Bo? i, and County Clerk B. F. Price, editors E. A. Nye and M. S. Taliaferro, of the Watsska Republican: Sheriff J. F. Ireland, Dr. Scull. W. M. Coney, John II. Jones, O. B. Joiner. A. Powell, James Woodworth and Dr. J. II. Gil: am. Illinois takes tbe cake for displaying its enthusiasm in every conceivable shape. Not only do tbe men make use of the national colore to produce striking effects, but even tha ladies are taking a hand at it. In the Grundy county delegation, yesterday, all the ladies bad flags fastened around their shoulders, while some of the younger ones had bands of red, white and blue ribbons dangling from their waists. CoL J. W. Cruaracker, who spoke for the LaPorte visito-e yetrday, and pronhesied a vietory for the thre H's Harrison, Hovey and Hoyne gives good reasons for the faith that is in him. He is very ranch eneouraged over tbe prospects of Hoyne'e snecess in the LaPorte congressional district. Since that gentleman's canvass began be has made steady and ranid gains in all narts of the district he bas visited. Marshal W. C. Weir, who commanded the LaPorte detachment yesterday, in a recent soeeeh poke of a remark made by General Grant concerning Hovey's division at the battle of Champion Hill?, in the Vieksburg campaign. Word came that tbe division was being forced back, and General Grant, iu ordering reinforcements,

direeted them to push forward without any hesitation, remarking "tbe enemy must be in bad order". Interrogated afterward by General Sanborn as to what he meant by the remark, the old commander replied that he meant that the enemy conld not drive Hovey without being badly damaged in the attempt. The story illustrates as fully ss an entire volume the character of tbe service rendered by the present Republican gubernatorial candidate in this State. RAILWAY EMPLOYES. The Wabash Western and Burlington Trouble Likely To De Renewed. St. Louis, Sept 19. It seems to be a fact that tbe Wabash Western and Burlington troubles are not at an end. The refusal of Wabash Western employes to handle Burlington engines created a ripple of excitement which died out temporarily, owing, it is now claimed, to the fact that meetings of tbe various railroad employes' organizations are now in progress, but tbat there will bo additional trouble is admitted by railroad men. To an Associated Press reporter, to-day, an officer of the Switchmen's Association said: "I do not care to be quoted; in fact, will not be, but if the Wabash Western discbarge men for refusal to handle Burlington engines, I cannot see how trouble ean be averted. This Burlington matter is what has led to the proposed federation, and I earnestly hope It will be settled without a great struggle." Referring to the refusal of Wabash Western employes to handle Burlington engines, T. J. Carroll, a member of tha switchmen's grievance committee, said to an Associated Press reporter: While I am not at liberty to say what action will be taken in tbo premises, I know something will be dene. I presume what we do will be advisory, as the settlement of the trouble with the hostlers really comes within tbe jurisdiction of the firemen. The Burlington affair is unfortunate all around, and is bound to cause friction end additional trouble in the future."

Tha Switchmen. St. Louis, Sept. 19. The switchmen have been in secret session all morning, hearing reports of committees. No action has yet been taken on tbe federation plan proposed by the locomotive firemen, but it is favorably regarded. There is little doubt the switchmen will officially indorse federation and appoint a committee with full power to act. Committees of tbe Switchmen's Association haTe been icsrssion all afternoon, and at a late hour to-night have not completed their work. The letter from the grand secretary of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, now in session at Atlanta. Ga., containior a plan of federation, did not arrive to-night, hot is looked for in tbe morning. Tbe switchmen are almost unanimously opposed to the proposition attributed to Chief Sergeant, of the firemen, that the Knights of Labor be admitted to the federation, and many of the leaders among tbe switchmen are outspoken In their opposition to anything of tbe kind. Important work is looked for at to-morrow's meeting. The Railway Station Agents. Chicago, Sept. 19. The Railway Station Agents' Association began its fourth annual meeting here to-day. Seventy-five delegates are present, representing seventeen States and territorial organizations. President L. A. Clarke, of Carlsbad, CaL, said in his annual address tbat the association now is and always has been opposed to strikes, but in view of certain local opposition to this view he recommended an amendment to the constitution to prohibit tbe support of any strike, or any other attempt to dietate to any railway by any member of the organization. An amendment to this effect was reported by a committee later in the day, but a vote was postponed. The renort of the secretary shows that the membership of the association is increasing. Five new State divisions have been organized withia the past year. A Mysterious Conference. Cnicaoo, Sept, 19. About 150 grievance committeemen of the railroad engineers have been in secret session here for two days. They represent the St. Paul, tbe Atthinson, Topeka & Santa Fe, tbe Wisconsin Central, and other roads running in Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. Just what their business is can only be surmised, as the men will not talk. A local paper surmises that it bas a political significance, and says tbat Congressman Lawler and otners have been closeted with tha engineers. The firemen. Atlanta, Ga., Sept 19. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen installed their newly-elected officers to-nichtaod adjourned. Their next session will beheld at San Francisco, on the second Monday of September, 1859.

The next annual convention will be held in New York the third Tuesday in September, 1SS9. Row among Odd-Fellow. Halifax, N. S., Sept. 13. Some time ago the Odd-feilows of Manchester Unity bad some trouble with one of their officers over some funds, and expelled him. The matter was aired in the coutts, and after it was disposed of there the expelled member appealed to the higher authorities of tha order in England to be reinstated. The result of this appeal was in favor of the expelled o.Tcsr, but the lodge to which be belonged refused to receive bim again into membership, and tbe other lodges of Manchester Unity and the province stood by it in this decision. Inconsequence of this the head authorities bave suspended all the members of these lodges. The members of Manchester Unity say tbat they don't care one jot for thrt action of those nominally at the head of the order, and will continue to work as of old, and will not trouble themselves over the suspension.

In the early hours of the morning the gun squad sent greeting out over tbe surrounding hills and) valleys, and by noon the town was'thronged with people from the coun try and neighboring towns. Large delegations came from Anderson, Fortville, LaDel, MarkleTille, Spring Valley and Eden, with three brass bands and one military band. Ex-Governor Porter's address was listened to by an audience estimated at from 5,00(1 to C.CCO people. It wa a winning speech, and., will result in good to the party. A more orderly audience wss never gathered at any political meeting, and tbe totaVabsenee of rowdyism and drunkenness was remarked by the writer and many others. Mr. Chandler, the congressional nominee of this district, was present, and made hosts of friends. Tbe party here recognize in him a practical, thinking man, who will fill the posi tion with credit to himself and to his party. Mr. Harvey's address on the tariil was sharp and to the point, and it was regretted by many tbat be was obliged to conclude bis speech so soon, to enable him to catch the Indianapolis tram.

After musio by the band and several very appropriate campaign r ongs by the glee club. General Sheridan deiirarad an address, daring which he touched all the points under discussion in the struggle now before us as only he could j do it. There are few, if any, fitter speakers in the country than ieneral Sheridan. Withinabrief timeafter beginning hisaddrewes, he has his audience comnistely under his control, and keeps it so to the finish by his masterly presentation of fasts, his ken, withering satire, his apt illuitrations, and his humorous stories, interlarded with the scintillations of bis own wit and eloquence. It wa a fine speech, and was applauded to the echo. Hon. Frcles Robinson at Columbus, tcecial to the lndia&aKils Jonroal. Columbus, Sept. 19.
