THE FORCE OF TRUE EEFOKM

Every Man Can Do a Little in Kcmovins the World from the Power of Error, But in Performing Such Work All Principles cf Good Must re Strictly Followed A Service of the Early Methodists. Dr. S. A. Keen preached to quite a large congregation at lloberts Park Church last night, takinc for his theme "The True Kclormer.'' suggested by atext from James v, 1: "Let him know that ho which conVerteth tho sinner from the error of his v?ay shall saVo a oul from' death, and shall cover a multitude of sins." Tno Doctor eaid that a reform nn-ana a recovery from eonio particular species of error. Every w rong thing in society, in tho state or in the church, is tho offspring of error, but reform brings tho mind and heart from tho power of the spirit of error. Keforniatiou and regeneration aro synonymous terms, for the first is never complete until tho state, or society, or the church, or the soul has new life. And it must be such recovery a3 not only brings people from under the power of sin, but turns them to God. Every man, the Doctor continued, may he a reformer, not perhaps as Luther or Knox was, hut all have the spirit and the power which, if rightly used, will regenerate society. According to the text, every tnan has this high calling, and his work m tho first place must he to create conviction not siniply sentiment, enthnsiasm. or even interest. All of these aro good, and may enter into a real reform, but they are buperiicial. The real reformer must have such convictions himself, lie must seo.it fco clearly that he can awaken in others con Tictiou of wrong in life, tho church and the world. In the second place, a reformer conserves in his principles the whole scope of human action, for ho is not one-sided. Too many try to reform things on a single line, and sacrifice other things to that one. The preacher said he favored the gospel temperance reform, because it saves the whole man by tho power of the gospel, and a man saved under its intluenco must give up not only drink, but all sin. That is not true reform in the church which would push forward ono field of work, and neglect others. Every church interest must bo conserved, and so, it must bo with temperance reform. One man says law, another total abstinence, and men get the idea that this or that way is the only real reform, when, in fact, to accomplish results, all particular lines of reform should unite and sustain the general principle. In the third place, the Doctor said, a reformer consecrates and devotes himself solely to tho thing itself. Each individual is, in tho providence of God, given something to do. and helps on the whole line of the world's redemption. There are at command several forces for reformation, and among these is personal example. A father that is not possessed of total abstinence ' himself is rendered incapable of reforming his own children. He must combine in himself the principle of the reform he is working. The second force is persuasion. This consists of expostulation and solicitation, and a man must set forth the perils, the dangers and tho disasters of of being dominated by a spirit of error. Then the invitation must be extended to that which is higher and better. The third force is fellowship, for it was a kind word 'that turned John 13. Gongh from being a drunkard to a great reformer. Personal sacrifice is a fourth force, for selfishness i9 no reformer. Tastes, time and ease aro all to be given to the work of any reform. The individual members of the chucrh, the Doctor said, in conclusion, should conse crate their whole personality to tho work of real reform. An Old-Time Methodist Service. One of the most interesting services held in this city yesterday occurred at the Uiackford-strect M. E. Church, where tho morning devotions were conducted according to old-time Methodism. All the surroundings were made to conform as closely as possible to thoso of the early days of that church in this vicinity. Rev. Wilbur i Sheridan, tho pastor of tho Blackford6treet congregation, conducted the services, and an address , was made by Dr. S. T. Gillett, whose ministerial work in this vicinity covers more than half a century. Dr. T. A. Goodwin. Kev. Edward Henderson, and others, also spoke; Part of the meeting was conducted after the old love-feast manner, the speakers being called upon for their experiences. Many furnished interesting reminiscences of the days when people walked to church with their shoes in their hands, only putting them on at tho church door, that they might present a more neat appearance in the house of God. The first meeting-houses, with the lab seats and puncheon floors, the augur holes in the uprights, which held tho candles that furnished illumination at night, and all the details of the earlier churches were described by those who began their religious lifo and grew up under their inllnences. The singing was also conducted as it was in tho early days, the choir and organ being dispensed with and tho preacher lining out tho hymn, two lines at a time, for the congregation to sing, as was done when hymn-books were scarce, and choirs were an unknown quantity in tho organizations. Tho hymns selected were each as were familiar to the fathers and mothers in the church, but are not often heard by later generations. "How tedious and tasteless the honrs," "When I can read my title, clear." "There is a spot to me most dear," and "Am I a soldier of the cross," wcro those selected, and they were sung with a fervor and spirit that recalled tho religions enthusiasm that made Methodism invincible among tho earlier settlers of tho West. Among tho fiiugerswas one venerable ladj who sang the old-fashioned couuter, not often heard now in congregational singing, and the effect was striking and impressive. Tho church was filled with elderly people, gray heads being scattered thickly through tho audience, and there were many representatives from other churches in the citj". Taken altogether, the service was a highly successful one, and heartily enjoj'ed by ail who attended it. ON TnE BANKS OF THE CANAL Scenes at Brighton Beach, Where a Special Toliceman Dees Not Have Time to Sleep. As the most available outlet for Sunday athletics, Brighton Ueach continues to llourish like a green bay treo by the banks of tho beautiful canal. Yesterday afternoon tho base-ball contingent took up the lino of march early, and by Sjo'cJockthe crowd on the bank looked liko a swarm of ilies ou the soft side of a watermelon. Admission to the "grand-stamV7 only cost ten cents, but a majority seemed to profer tho canal banks, from whence an unobstructed view of jthe game could bo had, as well as a view of any lights that might happen between or during innings. There was only ono special policeman, and ho had his hands full. While ho was in tho east hostilities would begin in west, and while he tarried in tho south to allay the state of inflammation which prevailed there, some bellicose visitor would jnoil tho countenance of his fellow-man in the north. These episodes had a tendency at first to distract attention from tho national game, and tho umpire would frequently have to neglect a closo call on first to see whether his friend in tho grand-stand, who had undertaken to eject a citizen for defamatory remarks, would bo successful or not; but as tho afternoon woro on tho passages at arms became too common for close inspection, and, unless tho ineleo became widespread, no attention was paid to it. The reporter, dazzled bv tho corruscation of fiftticutls finally appealed to a venerable patron who sat next to him to know if tho boys were, not exerting themselves moro than usual, and whether the exercises were not more violent than common. "Lord, stranger," aid the old man. this, is nothin . I seen a feller here knock a nigger clean into the canal oneet. Tho nigger rirawed a razor while he was under water, but the feller pulled a gun and made him

swim clean acrost to the other side." And the veteran sighed as he thought of the degeneracy of tho times, and tho decay in tho

Cincinnati and Brooklyn started to play a garue of ball this afternoon at Hamilton, twenty-five miles from here, and about 5,000 peoplo were present. At tho end of tho first half of the fourth inning, eighteen policemen marched on the field and arrested the flayers of both teams. Tho Mayor of Hamilton at once opened court, and each of the men was fined $S.r.5. The Cincinnati club paid the fines of both teams, and players and excursionists returned to Cincinnati.

In the City League games, yesterday, the Easterns defeated tho Kellehers by a scoro of 7 to S; tho Daltons won from tho Whens by a score of 15 to 10, and the Nationals defeated the Capital Citys by a score of 25 to 8.

Auburn has practically won the pennant of the New York State League. The Schopps yesterday defeated tho Young Amencansoy a scoro of 14 to 40. Philadelphia Times: Tho Western trip, begun under such auspicious circumstances, promises to lapse into a farce. Tho Indianapolis Juniors yesterday played a tie game with the Eastern Blues, the score being ten runs for each side. George Myers, released by Indianapolis, has accepted Manager Lof tus's terms, and will join the Cleveland club in tho East. Umpire Hrennan has resigned from tho Tri-Stato League and gouo to tho International. Milton West takes Hrennau'a place. A Philadelphia paper suggests that as neither Gleason nor Casey can pitch a full game each should pitch one-half, and thus make a winning pitcher out of them. The Eclipse defeated the Hustlers yesterday,! a score of 10 to 8. The batteries were: For the Hustlers, Shea Morris and Layman, and for the Eclipse, Shuckrow and O'N eill. The Chicasro team leads tho League in homo-run getting, with Indianapolis second, New York third, Pittsburg fourth, Philadelphia fifth, Boston sixth, Washington seventh and Cleveland last. Gumbert leads the Chicagos in home runs, T)ennv the Hoosiers, Connor the New Yorks, Heckley the Pittsbnrgs, Thompson tho Phillies, Brouthers the Bostons, Wilmot tho Washingtons and Tebeau the Clevelands. T. J. Keefe, tho pitcher of the New Yorks, and Ward, the Giants' short-stop, are brothers-in-law. They became related on Monday last, when the pitcher was united in marriage to Mrs. Helm, a sister of Helen Dauvray, the wife of Ward. Tho marriago took place in Worcester, while the club was in Boston. Next year tho Lone Star Stato League, it is said, will be on a larger and better basis, and in addition to tho cities in this year's circuit it will have Denison and Corsicana or Tyler. New Orleans wants to come in ana forma fcouthern Leagne. lhe clubs will organize early in the Avinter, and each will bo required to put up a forfeit bond of $500. Sporting Life: Anderson, the left-handed pitcher whom Ed Andrews unearthed at Chester during the summer, has made such a reputation with the Capo May team that threo League clubs were after him, namely, Indianapolis, Washington and Philadelphia. He signed with tho latter. Competent 1'udges pronouueo him the greatest young eft-hander in tho country. Spirit of tho South: The failure of baseball in tho South proves one thing: tho Southern peoplo aro too high-strung for their own good. In the North tho gauio is patronized on its merits, for the enjoyment it aflbrds, and v local pride, although hcart3 is a secondary consideration. In the South, if we don't win, we don't play. We take our doll rags and go home, as it were. Even yet the South is a little long on chivalry, and short ou common sense. AMUSE3IEXT FEATURES. Hilly Emerson Thinks the Minstrels Are Itegair.'ng Popularity. Billy Emerson, who took part in the excellent entertainment given to a crowded house by the Haverlv-Clcveland Mastodon Minstrels at tho Grand Opera-house, last Saturday eveuing. was at the Grand Hotel yesterday, looking none tho worso lor his lato domestic and financial complications. Ho said it was nine years since he had been in Indianapolis, and spoke in a very complimentary way of the changes and improvements that had been made in tho interim. Concerning tho minstrel business he thought all the indications poiuted toward further growth,rather than in the direction of a decline. Additions weie being made to it constantly, and a considerable part of its programmes now wero made up of white-faced narts.but with all tho additions burnt cork still held its own. Measured by the receipts, ministrel companies were growing steadily in popular favor, A few years ago a $100 house was considered a very satisfactory one for a minstrel entertainment, and now, at tho samo place, a performance yielded doublo that amount. Emerson still claims California as his residence, but will remain East during most of the coming winter, an. I expects to be in Indianapolis again bcfoo the end of the present season. The Turk Theater. Tho Bennett-Moulton Comic Opera Company, with moro than forty people, will begin a week's engagement at the Park Theater this afternoon, opening with an elaborate presentation of "Tho Beggar Student," which will be repeated to-night. This musical organization has established a good reputation in Indianapolis, and is one of the strongest and most popular attractions that comes to any of the local theaters. The company is evenly balanced, and tho principals aro all known to be above tho average, while the chorus is said to be the best the company has ever had, both as to numbers and voices. Among tho leading singers are Alice Johnson, Irene Murphy, Joseph Annand. Claude Amsden, Benjamin Lodge. Arthur Wooiey and William YVoltr. Tho costumes of the company are new. Tar liver and kidneys must be kept in good condition. Hood's Sar.saparilla is a great remedy for regulating these organs.

TEAGEDY ON THE BO AD SIDE

Bertha Elff Taken to a Secluded Spot and Killed by Her Jealous Lover. ik Cuts Her Throat with a Pocket-Knife and Then Tries to Kill Himself The End of a Series of Quarrels. Just beyond the city limits, and near where the continuation of North Illinois street crosses tho Fall creek bridge, is a lonely piece of road, and at this point, about 11 o'clock Saturday night, tho watchman of the reducing station of the Indianapolis Natural-gas Company found tLe dead body of a woman, with her throat cut nearly from ear to car, lying in tho dint. Ho had been told the fact of tho woman being on tho roadside by a man named Jones, who live9 at the corner of Twenty-econd and Illinois streets, and was on his way home when he discovered tho body. About lifty yards south of her, and also lying in tho roadway, a man was lying with a similar cut in his throat, but-still breathing and moaning feebly. A telephone message was sent from the street-cat stables and tho wounded man was Ukento the City Hospital, while I the body of the woman was removed to Kregelo's morgue. The countenance of the dead woman was .completely obscured with dirt and blood when first discovered, but the face, when washed, appeared to bo that of a middle-aged woman, perhaps thirty-five years of .ago, with dark Complexion, and a heavy suit of darklirown hair. The features were heavily molded, and the figure above the average height, - with small hands and feet. Begfifiiing just below the left - ear vrjahd extending. beyond the center of the.throat. was a deep gash, severing the jugular rvein completely, and the saturated clothing and pallid face showed that the victitnhad bled to death aa the result of her injury. There was no . mark on the cLpthing and no means of identification on the ttodv, which was not recognized by any f the crowd who viewed it at the morgue, c v The murderer, as soon as the wound as dressed and he could speak, gave hisriame as Edward Aszman, and that of the woman as Bertha Elff, whose mother lives 'ist No. 22 South Tennessee street, where sh.alao had her home. Aszman's mother lives at 345 Central avenue, Cincinnati. Hdis an iron-worker, and once had emplo5'Hient with Haugh, Ketcham & Co. Jjatttfrjy ho has been working in Chicago, from which city he came Saturday to watch Mrs.'"KHF. of whom he was very jealous. She had been receiving the attentions of another man, who was about her all day Saturday. Mrs. Elff was a widow, with three chituren, and for three years, Aszman says, th6v received their support from him. Ho and the widow went out early Saturday evuug, and visited Kissell's, where they drank a great deal. From there they went to the secluded spot where the murder occurred. They had been ciuarreling all evening. tand finally Mrs. Elff told him sho would have nothing more to do with him. That lc'd to the tragedy, and ho slashed the woiiinn's throat with a pocket-knife, and cut; his own with the same instrument. Tho body of Mrs. Elff lay at Kregelo's morgue all day yesterday, and was taken , home lato last night, Coroner Wagner having given permission for its removal. He will hold an inquest to-day. About eieht years ago the woman, then Bertha Fishor, became attached to a glass-blower bVjtho namo of Elff, whom she married, ihey went to St. Louis and there they quarreled, and tiniJly separated. Elff remained in St. Louis, but his wifo returned to Indianapolis with her three children. Her mother is now keeping one of the children, while two aro at the Orphans' Asylum. Shortly after Mrs. Elff's arrival hero she met the man who killed her. j When sober Aszman is said to bo good natured, but when drunk he is disposed to quarrel and is often furious His mother, in Cincinnati, was informed of tho tragedy' Saturday night, and from the description, of tho murderer given her she recognized; him as her son.

J r . Virginia Democrats. , Philadelphia American. The Democrats of Virginia evidently realize that the3' havo something to do to retain control of tho State, and thatrthatj something is not to be accomplished on-tho lines of Bourbonism. They havo noniinritede a protectionist. Colonel 'McKinney, of the-. Southern armj to the governorship, tind. they have placed him upon a platform" which indicates their sense of the arrival of 1 new issues. They evade-the tariff reform, question by a vague reference to what "has been so well said in other Democratic ulatforms.

But they show c how far they aro from adopting tho ffeetrade programme oy acmamung tno imine- - diato repeal of tho taxes on tobacco andrao-pie-jack, and by calling for ''liberal apnrbpriations by the federal government " for education, to be "apportioned among tho States in the ratio of the illiteracy of their population.'' This indorsement of tho policy of the Blair bill is really distressing to tho free-traders. One South Carolina newspaper says the platform is one on which everybody bnt General Mahono and tho Democrats can stand. Bnt sooner or later the Democrats of every Southern Stato which rises above mere agriculture, will havo to come to a position even moro 'distinctly apart from that of tho Bourbons thaiuthe Virginia Democrats havo done. : Georgia's IJlue Man.

His aifection is known among medical men as argyrca, and consists of a discoloration of the inner cells of the skin from the excessive use of nitrate of silver. A Democratic Opinion. Philadelphia Times (Dem.) Of all silly complaints in political circles the Democratic complaints about the rapid removal of petty postmasters is tho silliest. Of course, tuey will bo removed, just as they were removed under Cleveland, for the simple reason that the village or crossroads postmasters constitute a verj important party power. If Kepuhlicans hadn't' been removed from petty postoffices under Cleveland, there wouldn't have been any removals to be made under Harrison: but as tho changes wero made as fast as possible under the Democrats, the Kepublicaus aro willing imitators. There may be a time in tho future when civil-service reform will protect faithful and efficient village and cross-roads postmasters, but neither party has got within sight of that standard as j et, and the small postmaster must always go as parties change. They all do it, and why bother about itf Afraid of 3Iabone. rittsburg Chronicle. Whatevermay be said, personally, against Senator Malione and his methods, there is one thing strongly in his favor, viz.: he is about the only man of whom the Bourbons of Virginia havo a wholesome fear. They have an idea that in a fair and square 6taud-up fight, with Mahone in lead of tho

Republican forces, ho would have moro than a living chance of winning. Since ho has been nominated for Governor on tho Kepublican ticket, tho Democrats are filtniting to each other to "organize! organize! as if their dominance was in danger. But as an orgauizer Mabono is their equal any day, and as a political fighter he is thir superior. Let no one be surprised, therefore, if the little man with the long whiskers "the Jay Gould of Virginia politics," as he has been aptly described, should turn np on top when tho votes havo been counted.

w CLEVELAND A MARTYR. Don Dh'klnson Savs Ho Sacrificed Himself on the Free-Trade Altar. Detroit Special. The Democrats of this city aro greatly interested over tho publication of a letter from Judge Miner, for years a wheel-horse of tho partv. in which he renounced his affiliation with tho Democratic hosts, declared himself as a protectionist and charged that the party's defeat last year was duo to tho "pig-headedness" of Mr. Cleveland and the ridiculons methods resorted to bv Michigan's rainbow chaser, Don M. Dickinson, f ho letter was pointed, but not malignant, and it cut tho Dickinsonians to the quick. The ex-Postmaster-general was urged to-day to make a defense, and after declaring that it would bo an insult to tho American peoplo to cqnfcss that an apology was needed for Mr. Cleveland's actions, lie said: T first want to spy that Mr. Cleveland's position on the tariff question has already borne fruit, in that it lias converted tho protection Democrats of the East. Mr. Kandall? No. I said Democrats. Randall is not a Democrat. No protectionist can be a Democrat. The Democratic platform of T802 will be substantially President Cleveland's special message, because that message yas thoroughly Democratic. The people will be heard in the convention of 1S92, as tbey were in the convention of 1888, demanding a Democratic platform, with no equivocation. It is too early to tell who will bo the candidate. 1 find that the protection Democrats of the East were converted after the message appeared, even though they opposed it A Democrat who vfi3 bitterly against it led the campaign in Njw Jersey afterwards on tho doctrine of the message, and won the election. That Democrat was Senator McPherson. Barnum took the same course in Connecticut, while both Brice and German stood on the eafne ground. 44-ct me tell you that when Mr. Cleveland proposed to send out that message all the eminent protection Democrats of the Eifit, such men as Brice, Gorman, Whitney and. otherswent to tho President and protested against tho message being issued before' the election. They told him that his success was certain, and that there was no use of jeopardizing his chances by promulgating tho message. Ho himself admitted that his re-election was certain at thait time, but to all theso arguments and hundreds of them Wero presented -by the must able men of the party in private conferences he maintained that if themessago was' postponed the grand opportunity of a national campaign to educate the peoplo on thfn tariff question would be lost. The session of Congress would come together wi$h no popular instruction on the subject. TUt? result would be timidity, if not halfhearted measures, and a postponement of any substantial advance for four or eight yoars. The President's position was that he haJL,no selfishness regarding his re-election, and so he went forward to make the sacrifice of himself for the principle of his party. He insisted, againut tho protests of political and personal iriends, that the proper results would follow even if ho sacrificed the presidency. The great result which he desired hts followed, and that is . a united Democratic party; the conversion of those Democrats who were disposed to coquette with tiro protective heresy, the dissemination of t;ue principles and a success which is assuredly in sight.' t v 3Irs. 3like McDonnld's Temper. Chicago Sjwcial. Mrs. McDonald was a beautiful woman, but had a vixenish temper. Some years ago, when Mike was running a game at 178 CJark street, she tired at three policemen and narrowly missed killing one of them. Mayor Heath was trying to break up the gambling in Chicago, and as Mike was tho vipg-pin of the sports in thoso days, the flavor ordered his place closed first. Mike fjxml his wifeaud family lived in rooms over ;ihe Clark street joint, and the entrance to (1tJjo gaming-talde was through their living .apartments.

TKESIDEXT nARRISON.

A Modest, Sagacious Man "Who Is Conscientiously Doing III Duty. New York Tribune. President Harrison has revisited his homo for tho first timo sinco his inauguration in order to take part in the dedication of a monument to the soldiers of Indiana who fell in the war for the Union. His journey has carried him through a considorable'portion of tho West, as we of tho East still call Ohio and Indiana. His recent trip through New England, although mado with an entire lack of ostentation and as informally as tho circumstances would permit, also brought him into contact with a large number of people, who would not be denied tho privilege of paying their respects to tho chief magistrate. Theso simple journeys have not been without instructive and pleasing features. The Piesident has traversed these States as tho Piesident of the peoplo and not of a party. He has carofnllv avoided ppeechmakintr, though we all "know how well ho can make speeches. In tho few remarks which tho cordiality and hospitality of citizens havo forced from him hero and there, his political opponents will look in vain for anv purpose of self-glorification, any hint at partisanship, any phrase or even a single word suggesting that desire for re-election which is Bupposed to seize upou a President as soon as ho has taken the oath. General Harrison's bearing during these hours of relaxation is characteristic of him in every detail of his ofiicial life. Simple and unpretending, ho goes about tho performance ot his duties without drum-beatings or proclamations in the newspapers, lie is as modest as he is sagacious, as concientious as he is untiring. Ho devotes himself to his work, and lets the consequences take care of themselves. After all his opponents can find to 6ay in criticism of his adminis tration, the fact remains that his percentage of errors has been remarkably email. Few Presidents can show such a record. He has impressed himself upon the country as a wise, faithful, painstaking President, and it is no doubt because of this that his receptions everywhere have been popular, and not partisan, and that his opponents have welcomed him with as much heartiness as his own neighbors, whom he is now revisiting, and to whose support he owes his present elevation. Finding Their LereL Delphi Journal. The Indiana school-book series have not received the indorsement of a single educator of prominence in Indiana. The books will be adopted simply because the law appears to be mandatory. Many counties in the State refuse absolutely to comply with tho law unless the court compels them to do so. The Journal has reviewed th books and can say that it is an outrageous shame that the peoplo of Indiana are compelled to bo bothered with such an inferior set of botched books; for the books, as presented in Indiana, are inferior in printing and binding to tho original California and Minnesota editions. Good Word for Indiana. Washington Post. The soldiers' monument at Indianapolis, of which President Harrison assisted in laying the corner-stone, will be, when completed, the most imposing and costliest memorial of tho kind in the country. It has an appropriation on which to rely of 200,000 by tho Legislature, and contributions amounting to $22,000 from the Grand Army. The material to be used is gray-white limestone, and tho height of the structure will be 20S feet. Great credit is due the promoters of this undertaking, and the Stato is to be commended for tho liberality with which it seconded the movement. William Mahone. Chicago MaiL Mahone has again got a cinch on his party in Virginia; also, on the gubernatorial nomination. When it comes to manipulating Virginia politics a paraphrase of the latest Salvation army lyric after this style is apropos: There may be flies on you; There may be ilies on me; But there are no files on William Mahone, As far as I can see.' ' The President's Monument Speech. Cleveland Leader. President Harrison demonstrated thathis ability to say the right thing at the right place had in no wise forsaken him in his speech at the dedication of tho soldiers' monument at Indianapolis on Thursday. It was a deep, sincero and earnest tribute to the soldiers, and tilled with sentiments of tho broadest patriotism and truest statesmanship. And a Great Day It Was. New York Mail and Express. The city of Indianapolis is gay with bunting and resonant with music to-day. From all over tho State of Indiana the peoplo have assembled in tens of thousands to do honor to the President on his visit to his old home. The President's presence and the la3ing of the corner-stone of the soldiers' and sailors' monument will make this a yreat day for Indianapolis. Not Frightened by Wind. Iowa State Register. The plucky postmaster of Atlanta, who has made several thousand Democrats hysterically unhappy, is not a man to bo frightened at liourbon threats. Ho was a Union soldier who showed his courage wheu Democratic bullets, instead of blasphemies, were tho missiles that were sent against his devoted head. Not from the Cyclopedia. Troy Times. President Harrison refrains from making "set speeches" during his trips through tho country, but his little addresses in acknowledgment of the attentions shown him are gems of felicitous utterance. And he doesn't get them out of the cyclopedia, neither.. Deserved It's Quick Applause. Hartford Courant. Indianapolis laid the corner-stono of tho Roldiers monument yesterday, and President Harrison, explaining that he had been unable to prepare an address, made a speech that left little to be desired, and which deserved tho quick applause it received. Popularity at Home. Buffalo Commercial Advertiser. The magnificent reception given President Harrison at Indianapolis yesterday shows that he has strengthened his hold upon the confidence and affections of his own peoplo sinco assuming tho highest otlice in the government.
