A DAY GIYEN TO VISITORS

Warm Greetings to Gen. Harrison from Ohio and Resident Delegations. Iesterdaj'8 Reception of Feopla from the Great Gas Belt, and a Visit from Republican TennsjlTania Gas Operators Now Living Here. Five hundred enthusiastio Obioans made np tbe visiting delegation which came to pay its respects to Central Harrison yesterday. It was announced that a delegation of Indlanians from Fountain county would also be here, butit turned out that a mistake had been made in entering the date of this proposed visit They will be here in tbe early part of next month. The Ohio folks, who were from Lima and vicinity, came in over the I. E. & W. at 1:30 p. m., and mado a creditable display as they marched from the Union station to th park. llaj. S. F. Ellis, of Lima, who marshaled the procession, bore upon his breast a badge presented by the saviors of the folorn hope storming column which earried the intrenchments at Fort Ilodsoo, La., June 13, 18C3, having inscribed upon it his own words: "I am going, boys, who will follow nieH And the remark of Gen. Henry W. Burge, made at the same time: ''Those cf us who live will eat our breakfasts in the rebel works." The uniformed part of the delegation, made up of the Harrison and Morton Club of Lima, and wearing white hats and d asters, with a buckeye badge on the lapels, was commanded by Capt. Martin Atmer, another gallant Union veteran. A Tippecanoe Club of IS ID voters of Allen and Hancock counties, Ohio, also had a place of honor in the procession. Good musio was furnished by tbe 'Kid Band, of Blnffton, O., an organization of youngsters, few of whom had reached their teens, the Westminster Band and Liberty Bend of Allen county, and the Wainneld band of Auglaize-. The visitors had a hearty welcome as they marched out Illinois, Wakhmgton and 1'ennsjlvani street. At the platform theTippecanoe Veterans were given a-ats upon tbe stage, and Rev. U. H. UolMday, of Findlay, one of their number, r.ddvd General Harrison in their behalf, reminding hiza that there were upwards of C.OCO Whig voters of 1810 registered in Ohio, gome of whom were too infirm to make the journey necessary to greet him personally, but all of whom ho;d to be on hand and vote for him next November. Maj. JS. M. Jones, of Lima, an enercetio and forcible speaker, followed in a few wellchoaen remarks, referring to the new blood which the natural-gas development had brought into Indiana, three-fourths of which, he said, wa3 reliablv Republican. He said he believed io a fair day's wages for a fair day's work, concluding his speech with an earnest pledge of tn herty efforts of tho vie: tors for tho success of the Republican ticket in November. General Harrison was heartily cheered again when he came forward to respond, and spoke with his usual vigor and animation, his ro marks on the labor and financial question being liberally applauded. He said: Gentlemen, and my Ohio Friend3 The State of mv nativity has again placed m under obligations by this new evidence of the respect of ber people. 1 am glad to meet you and to notice in the kind and interested faces into which I Iok, a confirmation of the cordial words which have ben addressed to me on your behalf. You each feel a personal interest, and, I trust, a personal responsibility in tbia campaign. The interest which expresses itself only ia publicdemonstrations is cot of the highest value. The citizen who really believes tbat this election will either give a fresh impulse to the career of prosperity and honor in wnich our Nation has walked since the war, or will clog and retard that progress comes far short of his duty, if he does not in his own place, as a citizen, make bis influence felt for ttie truth upon those who aro near him. (Applause. J "Yon came from a community that ha recently awakeoed to the fact that beneath the oil, which has long yielded bounteous harvests to tour farmers, there was stored by nature a great and new source of wealth. You. in common with neighboring communities iu Ohio and J with otter coromur.ities in our State, bave very pamauy realized as yet me increase in weaitn that oil and natural gas wili bring to them, if it is not checked by destructive changes in oor tariff Khcy. This faet should quicken and intensify the interest of tnese communities in this eontegt for the preservation of the American system of protection. Applause. It is said by soma of onr opponents that u protective tariff has no iniloence uton wages; that labor in the United States ha nothing to fear from the competition of pauper labor;, tbat in tbe contest between pauper labor and high priced labor, pauper labor was always driven out. Do such statements as these fall into line with the ex perience of these wotkiogmen who are before me? Cries of Xo. no.' aLd 'Not at all. 'J 'If that is true, then why the legislative precautions we have wisely taken aramst the coming of pauper labor to oor shores? It is because yoa know, every one of you. that io a contest between two rival establishments here, or between two rival countries, that shop or that country that pays the lowest wages and so produces most cheaply, can command the market If the products of foreign mills that pay low wages are admitted here withent discriminating duties, you know thero is only one way to meet sush competition, and that is by reducing wages in our cilia. (Applause. J They seek tu entice you by the suggestion that you can wear cheat er clothing when free access is given to the products of foreign woolen-mills. And yet they mention, also, that now, in some of our own cities, tbe men, and especially the womoo, who are manufacturing the garments we wear, are not getting adequate wagej, and that amoog some of them thero is Buffering. Do they hope that when the eoat is made cheaper tbe wages of the man or woman who makes it will be increase!! (Cnee cf 'Yes,1 'Yea.) The power of your labor organizations to secure increased wages is greatest when there is a large demand for the product you are mating at fair prices. You do not strike for better wazes on a falling market When tho mills are remind fall time, when there la a full demand at good pricea for the product of your toil and the warehouses are emnty, then your organization may effectively insist upon increased wages. Did any of you ever see one of these organized efforts for better wages succeed when the mill was running on half-time and there was small demand, at falling prices, in the market for the product? (Apf)Uuse.) The protective system works with your abor organization to secure and maintain a jnst compensation for labor. Whenever it becomes truo here, as it is in some other countries, that the workiogman spends to-day what he will earn to-morrow, then your labor organizations will lose their power. Then the workman becomes in very fact a part of the machine be operates. He cannot leave it; for be has eaten to-day bread that he is to earn tomorrow. But when he eats to-day bread that he earned last week or last year, then he may snccesfallv resist any unfair exactions. (Great applause.) I do not say that we . bave here an ideal condition. I do not deny (hat in connection with some of our employments the conditions of lite are hard. But the practical question is this: Is not the condition of our working people, on the aversge, comparatively, a great deal better than tbat of any other country? (Applause, and cries of 4God, good.' If it is, then you will carefu'ly scan all these suggestions before you consent that the work cf foreign workmen shall aupplr our markot, now I snpplied by the products of the hands of Amer ican worzroen. "I thank you acain. The Jay is threatening and cool, and I beg yon to excuse further public speech. (Applause). At the conclusion of General Harrison's speech the Lima Glee Gob, an organization made op of about thirty colored singers, sung some effective campaign songs while the other visitors were personally presented, and, after all of them had shaken hands, the procession reformed and marched back to the New Decison, most of the delegation returning home later in the evening. A Pennsylvania Evening. A very succesfal demonstration by the Pennsylvaniaus who came to this city more than a year ago. and who favor General Harrisoo's election to the presidency, came off last night, the affair being organized under the direction of a committee composed cf Messrs. J. B. Wheeler, Capt. J. C. Gibney and Geo. A. Richards. It took the form of a reception at tbe Harrison residence. The callers gathered to the number of two hundred at J. B. McElwaine & Co.', on West Maryland street, and, headed by the When Band; marched out Illinois, Washington, Pennsylvania, Fort Wayne and North Delaware atreets, reaching Genoi a) Harrison's boos a little before 8p.il The visitors were cordiallysreceived in the narlora of the residence, and Mr. William MeElwaine. a resolute-looking yojog fellow, witba good address and earnest manner, introduced the visitors and pledged their harty support to tho Republican standard-bearer!,

He said they differed from most of the other industrial delegations that had called, io that it was Recublican throughout, and could be set down as a partisan demonstration of tbe members of the craft, who eould be counted on for Republican support, offensive and defensive. They came from a State which was accustomed to give big Republican majoritiesr and of the 2,"00 or 3,000 Penneylvanians who bad become citizens of this commonwealth, he ventured tbe opinion that three-fourths of them favored the election of tbe Republican presidential can n id ate. They were as a rule active, energetie men, whose influence extended beyond their votes, and their efforts in behalf of Harrison and Morton would be seen in the November returns. General Harrison in bis reply returned his thanks for the kindness toward him manifested by tbe visitors, but seemed to prefer to consider tbe call in the nature of a social courtesy, rather than a political demonstration, ne stood in a little opon space left by the visitors in tho rear parlor and spoke as follows: "Gentlemen It is very pleasant for me to meet you to-night in my own home. The more informal my intercourse can be made with my fellow-citizens th more aereeable it is to me. To yon and all ethers who will come informally to my home I will give a hearty greeting. I am glad to see these repiesentatives from the State of Pennsylvania, whose business pursuits have called them to make their homes with us in Indiana. The State of Pennsylvania has a special interest to me in the fact tbat it was the native State of a mother who, though near forty years dead, still lives affectionately in my memory. I welcome you here to this State, as those who come to settle amn? us tinder new conditions of industrial and do mestia life, to bring into onr factories and our homes this new fuel, from which we hope so much, not only in tbe promotion of domestie comfort and eeonemy, but in the development of our manufacturing institutions. Your calling is one requiring high skill and intelligence and great fidelity. Tbe agent with which you deal is an admirable servant but a dangerous maeter, and through carelessness may bring a peril instead of a blessing into our households and into our communities. "I am glad tbat Indiana, so lone drained upon by the States west of the 2Iisissippi, has at last felt in your coming from tbat stanch, magnificent Republican commonwealth some restoration of this drain wbicn has made tbe struggle for Republican success in Indiana doubtf al in our previous elections. It is time some of the States east of ns, having such majorities as Pennsylvania, were contributing not only to our business enterprise and prosperity, but to the strengthening of tbe Republican ranks, which have been depleted by the invitations which the agrieultutal States of the West havo extended to our enterprising young men. I welcome yoa here to-night, and will be gltdto have a personal introduction to each of you." Applause. ) At the close of General Harrison's remarks the visitors were separately presented to him, and, after some general conversation and handshaking, the delegation withdrew.

Tho Seventieth Itegttneot's Flags. Col Samuel Merrill has in his possession some photographs of the flags of General Harrison's regiment as they appeared at the close of the war. The remnants cf two flags appear in the picture, one the government and the other tbe Indiana regimental fiag. Both hang in strings from staffs that have been riddled with bu'.lat holes. The picture shows tbat tbe staff of tho regimental flag bad le-u severed by a bullet, and that the two pieces had been put fogether with hickory withes. Th photograph Is evidence of the bard fighting the regiment did throughout the war. The Hags, or what ia left of them, were placed in charge of the State Librarian at .the close of tho war, but Colonel Merrill says they have been misplaced or fallen to pieces. AH that can be cow found is the staff cf the regimental fiag. ' Closing Iteceptlous of the Week. There will be no visiting delegations to meet General Harrison to-day, but to-morrow tho John A. Logaa Club, of Cleveland, is expected, together with the Normal Students Club, of Normal. 111., and the Labile Club, of Chicago. It was expected that tbe German-American Club, of Chicago, would also be here on Saturday, but advices received yesterday indicate tbut its visit will be deferred. The members of the First Regiment Harrison and Horer Guards will meet at PfatSia'a Hall, Saturday, at 2 r. m , for escort duty. Some of the) Buckeye Visitors. A plearant feature of the delegation which came to greet General Harrisoo was tbe number of Iviies who combined good looks witn Republican enthusiasm. Mavor Wilson, of Nntlesville, gave the Ohio visitors a hearty reception as they passed through tbat city on their war here, yesterday, standing in his doorway and waving a beautif al American Hag amid the cheers of the Ohioeny. Several of tbe Harrison voters of 1S10 who were here yesterday spoke of other voters of tbat year whom they bad encountered who had voted against William Henry Harrison in tbat memorable year, but who would vote for Beoja znin Harrison in ISi'i An apt reference In veteran Holliday's speech to General Harrison yesterdav was that in which he spoke cf tbe visitor tbe Indian ians to General Garfield in 1684, and expressed the gratification of the Oaioans io being able to return the call under such encouraging circumstances. Included in the Ohio delegation here yesterday were many of the prominent Republicans of Hancock and Allen counties, among them Chairman George Hall, George P. Waldorf, Burt Hagedorn, J. J. Marks, S. S. Wheeler, J. F. Price. W. A. Campbell, of the Lima Gazette, and others, and ail of them spoke cheerfully ol Republican prospects in their home vicinage. Societies of Christian Endeavor. The first annual convention of tbe Indiana societies of Christian Endeavor will occur on Tuesday and Wednesday next at the Y. M. C A.

There are Democrats all over the Stato who make no secret of their intentions to vnto for General Harrison and for HilL Tbe tariff issue, of course, has separated tbem from Mr. Cleveland, and they take tbe position that he, rather than tbev, has strayed from the party fold. Their party allegiance is to be demonstrated by their vote for Hill, and the continuity of their Democracy remains, to their mind, unbroken. This Harrison-Hill vote is going to be a large factor in determining the result in this State.

WOULD K OT TAKE T1TE CIIECK

Mr. English Declines to Ilold It Pending Investigation of Certain Charges. The Dollar-a-Day Campaign Slander Can Find No Responsible Person to Assume the Repponsibility of Trying to Prora It. When Democrats thus far approached, whose indorsement cr acceptance of any statement it is supposed would give it some importance, are asked to have anything to do with the lies which irresponsible pot-house workers are eirculating concerning General Harrison, they give them wide berth. It appears, from the experience of yesterday, to have any ono of this class open the way for fixing the responsibility for the dollar-a day slander, tbat neither the chairman of the Democratic county central committee ncr the secretary of the Democratie national was willing to perform this service, so that the lander could be disproved through parties who have a reputation to sustain. And more, the Journal mado a square offer, yesterday, of $2,000 to any one who would father and prove the statement that General Harrison said a dollar a day was good enough for a workinzman. In accordance with thst offer, as a Journal editorial stated yesterday would be done, Harry S. New, secretary of the Journal company, met Hon. Wm. H. English, whose Democracy cannot be questioned, on the street, and told him of his desire to place in bis hands a cheuk for 2,000. to be given to any one who would prove the statement. Mr. English asked to bave the proposition sent to him in writing, through thf mail But to expedite matters, and to obtain fram Mr. English an acceptance or rejection of t ie trust as soon as possible, the following, io a short time after his request, reached him at the hands of a messenger: Bcsinxss Department, ) Tus Indianapolis Journal.

The receipt referred to in the above read: Keceived from the Indianspolis Jorrnal Newparer Company certified check on Fletcher's Hnk, of Indlacapolis. for 52.000, paybla to ray order, which check is to be ust d as per stimulation? thereto attached. llr. English declined to receive the check, without entering into any explanation as to his refusal. Had tbe Hon. Joeph E. McDonald been in the city the check would have been offered to him. As he wiU return to-day, alike communication will be sent to him. In regard to this matter, a News reporter asked Chairman Taggart, of the countv central committee, Yesterday, it he would accept the Journal's offer. 'I know very little abont the matter,' he rspliod. "I bave jubt heard of it. I am cot ready to say that 1 will cr that I will not. I hae ben paying no attention to the matter. I do not work on that line, and I am cot ready to say that I wili assume respocsibilitv for what I do not know anything about. I have a mind of my own. I will do wnat I tninlc right. No one can influence me to do anything else. I am ready to do whatever I thir.k is right or legitimate, and there is no power that can lead me to do tny thing else, but tho truth is I know very little out tbe matter." '6i Sherin. secretary of tbe Democratic national committee, said the collar-a-d ay charge 'was not being circulated bv tbe committee In tae form of a campaign document. He would neither assume the respnnsibiliiv for the charge nr repudiate it. "The thing, he sal 1, "is entirely ou'stde the Democratic organization, and I do not think we bave anything to do with it. What an Engineer Knows. Frank Sims, a Panhandle engineer, raid yesterday that there was not a Republican railroad man who would bo in the slightest influenced by the l:e the Democrats are circulating in regard to a dollar a day being good enough for a workingman. "A few of the Democrats may believe it, said he, 'but they would vote the Democratic ticket anyhow, ltut oc one else will listen to urh talk. 1 was here during the trouble in 1S77 aod heard General Uarrison's speeches. I know very well he said nothing about a dollar a day being enough for the workiogman cor anything which could be interpreted to indicate that he believed any such tbtog. The truth of the matter is that the few men who actually quit work at that tirao have taken no part in this talk against tbe General All that I have observed to raced in it are some of the men who weie guarding the company's property down at Dlake and Washington street at tbe time the strike was poingon That is all the striking they did." Mr. Sims recently broke his leg at Chicago and has only within the last tew days been able to get out cf (00ri THE CUXAUGIirOX MURDER. Albert Eaton Arrested cn a Warrant Issued Upon an Affidavit by Mrs. Johnson. A telegram from detective L. P. GrAdy, received last evening, announced that he bad arrested Albert Eaton for the murder of Thomas Conauchton, committed two years aco. Mrs. Mary E. Johnson, who pretends to be able to reveal the mystery surrounding this case, swore out a warrant for Eaton's arrest lato on Wednesday evening, and detective Grady left for Richmond on the 9 o'clock train to find the man. Arriving at Richmond he learned tbat Eaton bad gone to Cbio, where he arrested him. Deputy Prosecutor Orton believes Mrs. Johnson is telling the troth, and thinks that when the case is called for trial there will be sufficient corroborative evidence to sustain her. The prisoner is the husband of Mrs. Dora Eaton, the daughterof Mrs. Flescher, and the woman with whom Mrs, Johnson has recently been having trouble. Tie latter says she was at Mrs. Flescher's boarding boose, on Virginia avenne, when the murder occurred, and that Eaton was handed a revolver by Mrs. Flescher when the trout.Ie between Conaughton and Rbcinhold began in the yard, and tnat he went out tho door and fired. Mrs. Jchn?ona version of the troubU between Cooanghton and Eaton, wbieh led to tbe iatter swearing out a warrant for the former's arrest, and its being rlced in the hands of Constable Rheinhold, differs from that given by the Flescher family immediately after the murder. It was then claimed that Eaton objected to Conaughton paying attention to a Miss Flescher, but "Mrs. Johnson save tbat on the night before the killing Eaton returned homo and found Conaughton in company with Mrs. Eaton. It was over that discovery that tho fight between the two took: place. Eaton was badly whipped by Couanghton, and, smarting under bis injuries, he made threats against him the next day. He first went, it is stated, to Captain Campbell for a warrant for Conaughton's arrest, aod after Campbell bad refused he trocurcd it from Justice Johnson's court and 'aced it ia the hands cf Reinbold to serve. 2iton. Mrs. Johnson says, waa watching for i Jouauchton's reappearance at the houpe on tbe evening of tho shooting, and he 6w him come to the pump about the time Rheinhold came with the warrant. At that moment Mrs. Flescher, according to Mrs. Johnson's story, banded him a revolver which she had taken from a trunk, and, with it in hand, he went into the yard after Oaaughton. Mm. Johnson further states that the revolver was the next day thrown into a vault, after which Mr. and Mrs. Eaton went to Ohio. Two months afterward Mrs Eaton wrote tbe letter signed "A Lady, which detective Grady received, telling him the revolver with which Conanehton was killed could be found in tbe vault. As will be remembered Grady searched the vault, and did find a revolver with the initials E. R.w scratched upon it. The find at the time waa looked upon as a ret-up job. but now Mrs. Johnson claims that the initials were placed on the revolver by Mr. and Mrs. Eaton, for the purpose of putting the erime opon Constable Rheinhold U possible, Jn conclusion lira. Johns oa gays.

she returned to her home in Hamilton, O., and did not appear as a witness in the former triala because she was cautioned by the family to keep what she knew to herself. Notwithstanding this account, many are unwilling to put any faith ia it. It would perhaps be given mere weight if it had not been procured from Mrs. Johnson while there jtss an ill feeling existing between her and Mrs. "Eaton, the wife of the accused. Another thing that tends to discredit a part of ber story is the faet that quite a number of expert witnesses io the preliminary trial of Cotstable Reinhold testified that the bullet that waa taken from Con Brighton's body. could not have been fired from the revolver fished out of tha vault by detective Grady. Detective Grady found Eaton on his father's farm, near Hollingsbarg, O., and brought him to this city last night without a requisition. He told Eaton that he had a job of painting ttear Richmond, and succeeded in bringing him into this State. Eaton was placed in jail here, but be refused to talk otherwise tban to assert hit innocence. He save that he had nothing to do with tbe murder of Conaughton', and, regarding Mrs. Johnson's atatn:ent. he claims that he never knew the woman. He waa not able, to give tho exact date he left the eity after the murder, but says that Conaughton had been burled several days. He admits telling Super intendent Travis that be would return to the city. On leaving here he went to Davton, O., remaining there about five months, and then returned here, leaving a few days later for Alabama. Eaton states that he remained In the South until December and then went to his home near Richmond, where ho has since remained. His excuse for staying at his home, be says, was for tho purpose of fulfilling the law regarding the securing of a divorce from his wife. Detective Grady says that in making inquiries of Eaton at ilichmond, be teamed that the young man bears a good reputation and is regarded as an honest, industrious youth. He is twenty-four years old, and takes bis arrest remarkably cool He says that he will have no trouble in proving his innocence. His fathe-r is wealthy farmer, and a highly -respected citizen.
