All the physicians aii'l surRcnns of the city were greatly interested in tlrr d scription of the President's wounds, and those that cxprcsseel themselves when they hard or read that the chief surgeon attending the President was Dr. Boswell Park, said that he is one of the most capable surgeons cf the country. Boswell Park, of P.uffalo, was horn in Pomfret, Conn., in P."- Iii.- father being tho Kcv. Boswell Park, 1. D-. who was Ilrst an officer in the United States army, and later professor in the University of Pennsylvania, and then the founder of Hacino College, Kacine "Wis. Ills anrestora en both sides were inominent in the war of the revolution, lie received the degrees of B. A. and M. A. in course from Bacine College, and thin became a student in the Chicago Medical College, his homo being jit that time in Chb-ago. Hero lie was graduated in medicine in 17:, taking tho lirst prize among his class, lie served as Interne in the Mercy and Cook County hospitals, then became demonstrator of anatomy in the "Woman's Medi'al College. In 1S73 he became demonstrator and adjunct professor of anatomy in his alma mater. This position lie hold for threo years. then resigned it in order to study abroad. His foreign studies were pursued for a cumber of months, when he was piven the position of lecturer on surgery in Bush Medical College. He was also made surgeon to the Michael Beete Hospital. 1lore leaving for Kurope be also gave up the position of assistant surgeon to the Illinois State Kyc and Kar Infirmary. In 1SS.1 he was made professor of surgery In the University of Buffalo, and surgeon to its general hospital, which position he has tince held, declining most Mattering calls to other institutions. He is a member of the German Congress of burgeons, of tho American Surgical Association, the American Association of Gcnito-urinary Surgeons, the American Orthropedie Association, the New York Academy of Medicine, the New York State Medical Society and of numerous other medical and scientific societies. In lf-- lie was made the recipient of tho honorary degree of M. I. from Push College. His practice is limited exclusively to surgery and he enjoys a large consultation practice drawn from extensive territory. He has been a rather prolific writer. Besides numerous addresses, journal articles and editorials and a monograph on "Brain Surgery" he has contributed important articles to most oC the cyclopedias and systems of the day. In 12 he published a volume cf "Mutter Lectures on Surgical Pathology." It Is In this held especially that he has done much and original work, and he is one of the few surgeons that' do or superintend their own bacteriological work, having equipped for this purpose a private but complete laboratory. He was lor some years associate editor of the "Annals of Surgery." He also . ated for somo time the Weekly Medical Review," of Chicago, and after moving ' to Buffalo the Medical Press of "Western. New York. m TALK WITH 1)11. A. W. UUAVTOX. He Is Gratified that Dr. Park Is Attending the President. Dr. A. "W. Bra j ton, while listening to tho reading- of the description of the bullet wound. Interrupted the reader with frequent remarks of "Good!" Then he said: "That looks very favorable. Probably tho greatest danger now is from possible injection. Of one thing you may be sure. The people of the country may have tho greatest confidence in Dr. Park. He is one of the most renowned surgeons of the country. He Is a recognized authority on matters of surgery. He is a man acquainted with the principles of surgery not petty purgery in all its branches. lie is one of the few men who would attempt bold brain turgcry and the like. I know him best by his numerous articles and works on surgery. He is one of the renowned surgeons of the Fast and his text-books on surgery are highly esteemed and used throughout the colleges of the "West. He 13 probably best known because of his belief that cancer is due to a parasitical growth, for the study of which he has a pedal laboratory in P.uffalo, and has succeeded in interesting the State Legislature In the matter to tho extent oi! a large upXiropriation." Dr. Brayton said the matter of abdominal injuries was one to which a great deal of attention had been given and that numerous works on the one subject had been written. Dr. Park, he said, treated the subject extensively, and the SpanishAmerican war and the war in South Africa had given great opportunities for its study Durlng the civil war, he said, the lives öf o few men receiving abdominal gun-hot wounds were saved that it might be said there were none. Recently there are many cases in which such wounds have n.a proved fatal. This is due, he said, to modern surgery practice under which there is no hesitation In opening up the abdomen to trace the wound, cleanse the parts and ew up the torn places. One of the most lavorable symptom-, he said, in the case of the President. Judging from the report, as that the diaphram had not been injured und that there had been little leakor contamination from the stomach. Ir. Brayton thought it fortunate that such an eminent surgeon as Dr. Park was at Land. He said he was one of the few nun who would at onee decide upun the right thing to d. and that the haste In performing the operation was to prevent the discharge of the contents of the stomacli into the abdominal cavities, a thing which vould hasten death.

Graham said that on reading a full description of the President's wound and the method employed by Dr. Park, the lTesident's surgeon, he thought that the President's wound was much less serious than Stniley's. "The operation on the President," said Pr. Graham, "must have been entirely dry, for Dr. Park has sewed up both the front and the back openings into the President's stomach and has taken no precaution as to drainage. If any matter had escaped from the stomach into the intestines the danger of Peritonitis would have I been great. That there was no such escape is certain, for Dr. Park would take no chances. I regard him as the greatest surgeon in the country, with the exception of Dr. Sinn, of Chicago, who is an older man and who has had more experience with gunshot wounds. "The President's Intestines were not perforated and the two stomach wounds are clean and have been closed. The bullet probably is lodged in the deep muscles of the back. From this information I think that the President's chance of recovery is line. A perforation of the stomach is not nearly so serious us a perforation of the intestines. "Now, in Smiley's case the bullet entered an inch below- the nipple, four Inches above the President's wound, and ranged downward, cutting the liver, passing through the stomach and perforating a kidney. He was in such excellent condition for twelve hours that it was not thought necessary to operate. Suddenly his condition changed and he sank rapidly. An operation would not have saved him. "Dr. Park evidently performed a fine operation under favorable circumstances." Hnvc Confidence in Hin Skill. The physicians of this city are unanimous In declaring that the President is most fortunate in having the services of Dr. Park. Dr. Luther 1). Waterman said last night that Dr. Park was one of the best and most successful of the physicians and surgeons in the United States. "If the President fails to rally from his wounds with Dr. Park in attendance." said Dr. "Waterman last night, "it will be because he is beyond the aid of medical science." This encomium on the skill of Dr. Park was indorsed by Dr. Albert K. Sterne, Dr. Theodore Potter. Dr. George Combs and other prominent physicians of this city who are conversant with Dr. Park's skill as a physician. ABOUT INDIANA DAY. If President McKinley Dies It Will lie Abandoned. There Is a possibility of Indiana day at 'the Pan-American Exposition being abandoned as a result of the attempted assassination of President McKinley on the exposition grounds yesterday. The date for Indiana day is Sept. 11, one week from today, and the programme is being prepared by the (Governor and his secretary, but thre may be no occasion to carry out the programme. Governor Durbin was asked last night at the Knglish Hotel what action would be taken by him regarding Indiana day should President McKinley die. In that event Indiana day will bo abandoned," i:ald Governor Durbin. In case the President's condition justifies a hope for his recovery it is thought that Indiana day will not be abandoned. PEOPLE SHOCKED. (CONCLUDED FROM TWELFTH PAGE.) ministered the affairs of the country as to produce a steady growth. Among the several men that I have known that havo tilled his olllce none has been so pleasant and gracious and accessible to all as he. This terrible affair is a national calamity." I3DIAAIOLIS PL'OPLC SHOCKED. They Deplore the Attempt on Life of l'resident McKinley. . A. G. Smith, ex-attorney general of Indiana: "I am horrified over the matter. It is unnecessary for mo to say that I regret it tho whole Nation regret3 it. There is no punishment adequate to tho crime of tho man who committed it. To hang him would be to destroy the life of a coward and villian, which is of no consequence whatever. I am unable to say what punishment would be severe enough. I bellcvo human laws havo none that would reach the enormity of his crime. There is no difference how the man shot President McKinley, his purpose was to kill. His crime is very deep and black." xxx J. E. McCullough: "It Is a gTeat calamity for those things to occur. Of course, everybody will sympathize with President McKinley and his fc.mily. Such an act as that will teach us a lesson that we will have to do something with such lawless criminals. The country will have to take steps to stop such awful calamities. There is too much liberty given Anarchists and they should be dealt with before they have a chance to attack the life of the chief executive or any other person." xxx State Auditor Hart said: "The assassination of so lovable a character as President McKinley is certainly the act of a madman. From the very nature of his position he could not help but disappoint thousands of friends and ardent supporters, but in doing so hl3 goodness of heart and gracious disposition took the sting from the poignancy of defeat. Very seldom in public life was a man of such general and wide responsibilities so thoroughly loved and so possessed of the kindly qualities as to enlist the affection of those who knew him best. "It is a sad commentary on the genius and glory of the Republic that such a crime could be committed, and It must have been the act of an Anarchist of the Herr Most type. This most vicious of all assassinations should nerve Congress to take vigorous steps to rid America of the school of Anarchists with breeding headquarters in New Jersey. Martyred Presidents and a republican form of government call for heroic measures to rid the land of any semblance of Anarchists and anarchy." xxx Joseph E. Bell, assistant city attorney said: "It Is appalling to think that within the period of forty years three Presidents of this Republic should be assassinated. Should the wounds inflicted on President McKinley prove fatal his death would be a loss which cannot be estimated. The thought that the highest official of this Nation is not safe from the plots of the Anarchist causes one to almost despair of popular government. The attempt on President McKinley' s life Is a national calamity, the result of which will not pass away during tho present generation." xxx Joseph T. Fanning, chairman of the city Democratic committee said: "I am greatly shocked and grieved to hear of the probable fatal shooting of President McKinley. Mv deepest sympathy is with him and his family and the American people should it prove fatal. His death would be a great loss to the country at this time. The shooting is a most deplorable blot upon the history of this most advanced Nation in civilization, especially when the fate of Lincoln and Garfield is so forcibly recalled by this occurrence. 1 sincerely hope that it may not prove fatal and tne countxy may be saved the loss of Its President." xxx Albert Sahm: "To say that a message of that kind shocks one Is to very moderately express the sensation that takes possession of me when I say that I am shocked beyond the possibility of expressing myself "in words. 1 only feebly givo vent to my feelings at this time." XXX Nobles C. Butler, clerk of the United States Court, said: "I mod earnestly hope that the Preldent's wounds are not fatal. He did not have any personal enemies. It must have Ik en the work of a crank. The:?? assassinations are a blot upon civilization. We have had too many of them in our own roup try. It is shocking that men like the l'resident should be shot down in this way. His are was devoted to his country, and if it has been really taken his death will bo a cause of mourning everywhere." XXX Charles Magulre, Democratic candidate for mayor: "I think it la a disgrace to the country for any man to attempt the life .f as good a man as President McKinley. Nothing ban shocked me so much since the assassination of Garfield." XXX Major Harold C. Megrew said: "Nothing has fo shocked this peaceful community tinea the morning of July 3, 1SS1, when the news came that Iresidcnt Garfield had fallen by the hand of tho assassin, Guiteau. "True, the Nution mourned when Lincoln was sacriliced, and even yet mourns, but the shock was hardly sc great, for the reason that the country had just passed through live years of turmoil and blood

shed, and personal bereavement had visited almost every household in the land. "At this moment the wire tells us that the l'resident may recover; God grant this be true." XXX David M. Parry: "This is a thing to be deplored by all parties, by the whole country. I fall to see where anyone could be benefited by the death of the President; he certainly has given the poorer classes and the working classes the best that could be

I given to them; his fine administration has 1 given the laborers all tho work that they have been able to do." John B. Elam, once a law partner of President Harrison, said: "It Is too horrible for expression. For the moment I almost despair of civilization when I recall that three Presidents have fallen before the assassin's bullet that I am old enough to have seen and heard. Of the seven Iresldents elected since Im three have been assailed by the hand of the murderer. This awful record is made more impressive by the fact that these three were among our greatest and most democratic Presidents and also the kindest and gentlest of men." XXX P. H. Fitrgerald: "The assassination of President McKinley coming at a time of prosperity brought to the country by his good management of government affairs Is to be deplored by all good people. It is a warning to Congress of the great danger in not more rigidly enforcing our immigration laws." XXX J. O. Henderson, former auditor of state: "The assassination of President McKinley strikes at the very vitals of the Republic, and it is a national calamity that goes homo to the heart of every citizen who truly loves his country. It is most lamentable that within the short space of twenty years two federal Presidents have fallen victims to the murderous malevolence of the assassin. Let us hope that this assailant is not a citizen of the Republic, but will prove to bo an excresence of a monarchy, whose regicides arc nurtured and have their full stature in their own soil. But, however it may turn out to be, we shall have no fear for the government or the Nation. It is ono of our great strengths as a Republic that no man is essential to its perpetuity. 'The workman dies, the work goes on.' Though the assassin's bullet remove our chief executive, another rises up to take his place and the march of government preseres its perfect way. The fall of no man can seriously affect the Republic; it may shock and strain, but it cannot crumble or destroy. The true government lies in the hearts and minds of the people, who are ever loyal, ever true, ever steadfast. If President McKinley shall have been killed the whole world will mourn at his bier, for the United States stands clcarlv in the van of nations and l'resident McKinley is justly regarded as one of the wisest and greatest rulers of the earth." XXX Judge L. J. Hackney said: "To truo Americans nothing could possibly bo moro regrettable. Every one who cares enough for this country to make his home in it will hang his head in sorrow. An enmity for our institutions cannot excuse or palliate the horrible deed. If they arc not the best, there is no reason that the .enemy may not go where better are maintained. I cannot tolerate the idea that party spirit could have actuated the crime. The people in the world so readily adjust themselves to tho choice which comes out of party strife. "No policy of the administration could Justify the act, for in this country the feople redress wrongs and cure errors by egally established methods. No personal enmitv to William McKinley could soften the offense against the country in striking down the President. "Th-3 ciime is most hideous from any standpoint, ana every effort should be made to bring to it3 perpetrators a just punishment. Such deeds must, sooner or later, teach us that liberty and freedom of speech do not give license to organize and educate any iraciion of our population to. inveigh against the laws and established customs of our government. Why should not the government check and destroy anarchism as a man may kill a viper in his path?" XXX ' County Auditor Harry B. Smith said: "The attempted assassination cf our l'resident Is a great calamity, to say the least, and it can only be laid at the door of an insane man or a man without his country at heart, end not the result of any feeling or displeasure toward l'resident McKinley. The attack was wholly unwarranted from any standpoint, and such a dastardly attttnpt ceulil only be made by a man out cf his reaeon or one who is so debased in his nature that he knows no law, right or wrong. In this time of prosperity, when the country Is enjoying a peaceful and liberal government, there could be no motive for tho ciime. The attack Is so cowardly and so unreasonable that it is dillicult to express an opinion of the deed and tho man who did it." XXX Cassius C. Hadley, deputy attorney general, said last night that he was completely overcome with the news of the President's attempted assassination. "If President McKinley dies," said Mr. Hadley, "the Nation will lose her greatest son. His administration marks an epoch in the Nation's progress and future generations will accord him the glory of everlasting honor. In war and in peace he conducted the affairs of government in such a way that our flag and our commerce mean more to the nations of the world than ever before. Under his guidance our moral and material progress is greater thoai in any other period in our history. He is the statesman of the hour. He saw as no other statesman seemed to see the possibilities of our country. In nature he is the kindliest of men, resembling in this respect the great Lincoln. Should his death occur as the result of this fiendish attempt of a cursed assassin the Nation will suffer an irreparable loss. The matter of his attempted assassination should be investigated with relentless diligence and every person connected with such a conspiracy in the remotest degree should be suspended from the gallows that can be the most speedily erected. There is no room on the lace of the earth for such blood-thirsty wretches, much less in free America." XXX Judge John L. McMaster, of the Superior Court, said: "This open attempt to assassinate President McKinley indicates that there ought to be a restriction placed on indiscriminate handshaking. The danger is too great, and in my opinion it should be abolished. The aftair is a disgrace to our country and it is deplorable. We all hope for the recovery of the l'resident. but if he lives that does not save us the humiliation of having such a crime attempted in our country. More care should be exercised in allowing- immigrants to come to this country, and there should be greater restriction in permitting this foreign element that brings a disregard for all law and government with it. We all sincerely hope that the President will recover. This is the third assassination in this country in tho last thirty-six years, and more precaution should be used. We all sincerely hope that the l'resident will recover." xxx Judge Carter, of the Superior Court, was so ill at his home that he was not able to make any statement, and Judge Leathers is out of the city. XXX Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, said: "I feel like every one else regarding the attempted assassination. It is a great blow to the country, and 1 hardly know how to express myself." xxx Armin C. Koehne, county treasurer: "It means that a stop must be put to immigration without carefully considering and investigating every foreigner. Something must be done to stop this anarchistic movement if the man who shot President McKinley is an Anarchist, and. if he Is insane, it is hard to say what should be done with him." Judge Alford. of the Criminal Court, said: "I cannot express myself. What prompts men to band together and work themselves up until they are capable of assassination I do not understand. I cannot sco what their purpose is nor what they hope to accomplish. An assassination means nothing to them; another man simply steps into his place and the government goes on just the same. When I think of the crime mv heart grows cruel and I hardly know w:hat to say." xxx Judge "William A. Johnson, of Franklin, said: "I was at Greenwood this evening and first heard of the terrible tragedy of President McKInley's attempted assassination. I am requested to give an expression of my sensation upon hearing the deplorable news. How can any American express himself in words who knows that a great President and one of the boys who wore the blue has been made a victim of doubtless one of the vilest and most detestable conspiracies in the history of the world that has been concocted by a band of vicious and irresponsible Anarchists for

whom none of the American people are responsibleexcept that henceforth no American President should be made an advertising medium for any show or exposition promiscuously." x x y Trosecutor John C. Ruckelshaus said: "The assassination of President McKinley." coming at this time, when the country is in the height of its glory and in the midst of abundant prosperity, is a sad calamity. Only to-day 1 took great delight in reading his brilliant speech, and then so soon to hear of his being shot is a great shock. William McKinley has certainly been a great man and one who is loved by his people. 1 sincerely hope that he will recover." XXX Mr. A. A. Young, collector of customs, said: "It is impossible to find words to express my sorrow at this awful crime. It is shocking beyond expression." XXX Councilman H. E. Negley, In speaking of the attempted assassination of President McKinley, said: "It is the sort of a national calamity which almost strikes one dumb with amazement and horror. "We are sometimes moved to ridicule the elaborate system of espionage thrown around the Sultan of Turkej-, but when it comes home to us we ere forced to wonder if our boasted liberty of speech and person is not carried to sentimental extremes. "I sometimes think that our well-known laxity in such matters has brought to this country a clus of people who well know that such utterances as they are permitted to make hero would result in incarceration, and perhaps death, in their own countries. Lut they come here imbued with a fixed hatred of all forms of government, and are graciously permitted to denounce our President and our legally constituted courts whenever and wherever they see fit. It Is not only tho liberty seeking emigrant who makes all tho trouble, but it is the renegade who comes to this country .to escppe his just deserts in the land of his birth, who is so willing to shed human blood for the pretended purpose of bettering the condition of his feilow-men. I am inclined to think that we need a federal statute which will enable us to deport on short notice any person found guilty of conspiracy against the government; and I would make a very mild threat sufficient to constitute the offense. It is indeed a national calamity if President McKinley is to be taken from us by the hand of an assassin at the time w hen" be is about to realize his fondest hopes for the prosperity of his country. He is a noble man. far above the average in statesmanship, and after having successfully piloted the country through the troublesome times of the past lour years it is hard to bo taken in such a manner. How similar it Is to the life's ending of the martyred Lincoln." XXX Frank L. Littleton, former speaker of the House of Representativs: "The news is awful." XXX Chalmers Brown said last night: "The news of the attempted assassination of President McKinley shocked me inexpressibly. I could not believe at first that there was a human being so vile as to attempt the life of such a good and kindly man as Wiiliam McKinley. I lind myself trying to find a motive for the awful deed. There could have been no motive. It was the act of an individual who belongs to a class that is assuming alarming proportions in this country, and one which it is the duty of our lawmakers to exterminate. President McKInley's loss to the Nation at this time would be incalculable. To my mind he is our greatest statesman. Should he die he would be mourned as deeply and as sincerely as Lincoln." XXX Mr. R. O. Hawkins said: "Tho attempted assassination of President McKinley will come as a very great shock to the American people. I feel hardly ablo to express my feelings with reference to it. The time has fullv come when there should be stringent legislation for the protection of the l'resident and high officials of this country from the attacks of Anarchists. Some steps should bo taken to suppress these societies and the newspapers that support and encourage them, and until that is done the l'resident of the United States should not be placed in a position in a large crowd where any Anarchist or crank may, by simply dropping into line, have an opportunity of assassinating him. Tho American people have indorsed l'resident McKInley's administration because it was in every sense American. His every act and utterance have been for Ids country, and the p ravels of the pc pie throughout this land to-night are for his speedy recovery." XXX Judge Francis E. Raker, of the Supreme Court, said: "Tho news is so shocking that one can scarcely realize the enormity of the offense. The assassinations of Presidents Lincoln and Garfield were traceable in a way to causes that arose from conditions among ourselves. Rut I cannot now think of anvthing that could have led to the intentional shooting of l'resident McKinley except the bloodthirstiness of an Anarchist who was unable to reach through the guards and strike the hereditary ruler of his native land and who here wreaked his spite against the restraints of organized society upon our fellow-citizen who was accessible to all. Every true citizen will pray that tho assassin's purpose may fail of accomplishment." XXX Frank A. Morrison, president of the Columbia Club, said: "It is generally supposed that a crime so atrocious could hardly emanate from a normal mind, because the perpetrator would certainly know that a deed so hideous would set in motion such a reaction against any cause which he might be supposed to represent as would consign it to eternal infamy. "Yet there seems to exist a class which cannot be said to be mentally Irresponsible, which has received entirely too much toleration in this cotyitry and which it would be well to take heroic measures to suppress so completely that there would not bo left seed enough lor offspring. Such a class is said to have some strength and organization In Paterson, N. J., and no doubt exists in other localties and when the bottle is uncorked the poison seeps out and tho results shock the civilized world. This country will yet wake up to the necessity of exterminating this class, root and branch as a common pest to society. "l'resident McKinley was one of tho most lovable executives this Nation has ever luid. While he had maintained his exalted position with high honor and great dignity, at the same time he loved to go in and out among the people, and he went on nearly every occasion whero it was possible for him to do so. He was Indeed a shining mark. Of course, he was well aware that the fate which overtook Lincoln and Garfield might be his, but he never lo?t an opportunity to be gracious to his countrymen and It seems was shaking hands with then in the old familiar way when he was shot. "If this wound should prove fatal, the grief of the sorrying people of America will recall the time when Lincoln fell and will not be shared nlone by the North, but by a united country." After "ev Industries. The Board of Trade committee appointed some time ago to secure new industries met yesterday afternoon, but no action was taken. It was decided to meet again Mondav, when Mr. Farnham. who represents several large cutlery manufacturers and other concerns, will be heard, and inducements will bo offered him to have tho factories moved to this city.

Tho attempt upon the life of President McKinley at Buffalo yesterday caused a more than ordinary shock to the people of this city on account of the fact that he has visited Indianapolis so often that he is almost as well known here as any of Indiana's own great sons. Major McKinley has visited this city six times in his public career, which is a greater number of visits than has ever been paid Indianapolis by any other President of the United States excepting, of course, the late General Harrison. Mr. McKInley's first visit to this cityafter he became prominent In public life at least was on Tuesdaj', Oct. 21, lbS4, when he accompanied James G. Blaine on his famous tour of the United States as a candidate for the presidency. Mr. McKinley was not, of course, given the hearty reception that he afterwards received when he came as the central figure, but his visit created quite a stir, none the less. He witnessed the great parade through the principal streets of Indianapolis to Military Park and sat upon the platform while Mr. Blaine spoke to. fourteen acres of enthusiastic, cheering people. The "man of cestiny" was a conspicuous figure in the great torchlight and fireworks parade the same night. To a Journal reporter, Major McKinley said that the Indianapolis demonstration surpassed anything of the kind during: Mr. Blaine's trip through Ohio. "It was the greatest demonstration," he said, "that I have ever witnessed." ADDRESSED BIG MEETING. Thursday night, Oct. 3, 1SS8, Representative McKinley addressed a monster workingmen's mass meeting in Tomllnson Hall presided over by L. W. McDanlel. Concerning this meeting the Journal said: "The hall was packed until there was not room for more. People began coming to the hall as early as 6 o'clock,. and at a Quarter before 7, when tlje doors were thrown open, there were enough people waiting to fill the gallery and half the lower floor. In fifteen minutes more all the seats were occupied and standing room was at a premium. It was pre-eminently an audience of workingmen. There perhaps is not a mill or shop in the city that was not represented, and there were present many representatives of labor from different parts of the State." Representative McKinley, accompanied by Chairman McDaniel, reached the hall at 7:43 o'clock and the distinguished Ohloan was given a splendid reception as he came upon the stage. Mr. McKinley spoke Immediately after Charles II. Lltchman, of Massachusetts, ex-secretary of the Knights of Labor of the United States. Of Mr. McKInley's reception and speech the Journal on the following morning said: "The audience arose to its feet to welcome Mr. McKinley and the cheering continued several minutes. Mr. McKinley spoke just two hours and commanded the close&t attention of every man and woman in the vast audience of 5,0u0 persons until he had closed. He began his address in a very low tone of voice and there were fears that he could not be heard by all present, but as he reached the spirit of his speccli his voice was in the full tone of the orator that he is. and from that on he spoke with fine effect. His speech was pronounced by all who heard it to be the best discussion of the subject that has been heard in Indianapolis. The applause he received was frequent, and his argument was so clear that persons in the audience frequently foresaw a conclusion he was going to reach and involuntarily gave voice to their thoughts." WAS HERE IN ISM. Governor McKinley visited Indianapolis next on Sept. 12, 1S92, during the second Harrison campaign. He arrived in the city Monday night, Sept 12, and was escorted by a large procession over a devious route from the depot to the Denison Hotel, from the balcony of which latter place he addressed a vast concourse of people from Indianapolis and surrounding cities and towns. The following morning Governor McKinley was taken by special train to Elwood, Ind., where he was given a rousing reception, the citizens of the town regarding him with particular favor on account of the great tin plate works in their midst, made possible by Representative McKInley's famous tariff bill. Notwithstanding the fact that the rain poured down almost the entire day in his sojourn in Elwood, the town was thronged with people eager to see the great tariif leader. Governor McKinley spoke three times, once in front of the Elwood Opera House, again Inside of the theater and later at the tin plate works. Mr. McKinley seemed to have an especial fondness for Indiana's capital, and this feeling was cordially reciprocated by the people of Indianapolis. Each succeeding visit was marked by a growing warmth of feeling towards the distinguished son of Ohio. On Sept. 21, 1S94, while he was still Governor of Ohio, Mr. McKinley came to Indianapolis to assist in the state campaign of that year. He arrived at the depot Monday night, Sept. 24, and of this event the Journal said: "Governor McKinley and party left the car on the south side, thus avoiding the crush of people that pushed and jostled through the gates. The Governor was the first to step from the platform and was followed by General Thomas Nelson, of Terre Haute. As the Governor took the arm of General Nelson and walked toward the front of the train the enthusiastic crowd began to push toward him. 'There he is. there he is,' 'See McKinley.' 'Hurrah for Governor McKinley,' they shoute-d, and it seemed as If some overzealous enthusiast would embrace the Governor on the spot." That same night Governor McKinley was literally forced to deliver a brief speech from the balcony cf the Denison Hotel, despite the fact that it was generally known he would address a huge meeting in Tomllnson Hall the next afternoon. AT TOMLINSON HALL IN 1S31. In its account of the McKinley meeting In Tomllnson Hall Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 23, 1S04, the Journal of the following morning said: "The McKinley meeting in Tomllnson Hall yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock is to be compared to that of Whitelaw Reld in 1K2 in point of size. It was incomparably better and larger, even, than that in temper and enthusiasm. There was racking of people from pit to the last standing pltce of the lofty and capacious third gallery, so far in the rear that the features of the distinguished speakers were not plain. The five long, wide aisles of the great auditorium were packed so closely that the audience seemed rolling In rounded waves. The tremendous volume of sound and roar showed the charEclcr of the audience. The window? rattled and the timbers of the big structure tTAmbled when the three cheers for ik.

Kinley which General Harrison called for at the close of the speech rang out. Mr. McKInley's speech was a little over one hour in length and was an eloquent, forceful, merciless arraignment of Democratic mismanagement of public affairs. Ry the time Mr. McKinley was ready to make his famous visit to Indianapolis in UUS, when he was President of the United States, he had come to occupy such a place in the hearts of the people here that they looked upon him as a real son of Indiana rather than of Ohio. His brief stay in Indiana's capital on that occasion was one uninterrupted ovation. lie arrived at the depot shortly before noon and was met by one of the largest processions ever seen in this city. Companies C and P, of the One-hunclred-and-nfty-eighth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, only recently arrived home from the Spanish-American war, acted as the President's escort. These companies marched in platoon, both in front and In the rear of the President's carriage. Some idea of the feeling entertained for President McKinley by the people of this city may be gathered from the description of his triumphal march to the Statehouse, contained in the Journal of the follow Ins: day. The account said: "On both sides of the street were people three and four rows deep, shouting a welcome, waving handkerchiefs and trying to see everything and everybody at the same moment. Right and left the President bowed, and the smile on his face seemed to show a genuinely warm feeling for the generous welcome. Down the street, ahead of the President's carriage, ran a wave of handclapping, which swelled into cheers as the carriage came alongside. The courthouse steps were black with people, and in each window and on each window ledge were venturesome citizens standing. From this crowd came a solid cheer, which was greatly augmented by improvised megaphones, through which many of those in the windows roared their greetings. The snapping of cameras along the entire line of march was like the rattle of firecrackers. Mrs. McKinley smiled and seemed to greatly enjoy the event, as well as the entire reception. The greetings sent to her personally kept her bowing her " acknowledgments almost as constantly as did the President." AT THE STATKIIOUSE. The account of the arrival of the procession at the Statehouse and of President McKInley's eloquent and feeling address from a platform built up to the window of the office occupied by the secretary of the State Printing Hoard Is very interesting-. It follows: "Arriving at the west entrance of the Statehouse the soldiers acting as escorts marched on to Ohio street and around the Statehouse to Market street, while the President. Mrs. McKinley, Senator and Mrs. Fairbanks, Secretary Gage and the lest of the visiting party passed through the doors into the corridors of the Capitol, through the Governor's parlor and out on to the stand, where a tremendous shout of welcome brought a smile of pleasure to the face of the President. So lixed were all eyes on l'resident McKinley that onlt by sitting down out of view of the crowds was it made possible for Senator Fairbanks to be heard. "In a voice made hoarse by constant rpechmaking in the State campaign, and raised to a high pitch to overcome the murmurings of suppressed excitement from the crowd. Senator Fairbanks addressed the gathering as follows: " 'Fellow-citizens It gives me great pleasure to join with you in paying this slight tribute of admiration to the President of the United States In his journey across the country to Omaha and back. There have been places where he has been received by larger crowds, but nowhere has he been received more enthusiastically than here. 1 will mention a name to you which is very close to all American hearts, uiespecue oi parry lines, a name illustrious by deeds done in the days that are past. The American people have been looking anxiously fo the man who has led them out of all the difficulties which beset them into a glorious present. I have the honor to introduce to you William McKinley, the l'resident of the United States.' "As President McKinley arose it was quite apparent that the nervous strain of the past few months had affected him greatly. Instead of the full, unwrinkled lace he wore when he was Governor of Ohio, his cheeks were shrunken and the dark rings around his eyes told of the immensity of his labors and the lack of rest resulting from them. Where formerly his fine black hair made his face appear chajklike in its whiteness, his grizzled head communicated an ashen hue to his skin. Even the heavy black eyebrows, which gave to his eye a piercing glance that had brought to 1dm the title of Napoleon, because of his facial resemblance to that figure in history, were turned to a dull gray, which robbed his eyes of their brilliancy and made him appear what was in reality an overworked servant of the people. So great was the applause with which he was greeted that, after a wait of several minutes for order, his words were unintelligible to those standing only a few feet from him. Gradually his voice overcame the leaden atmosphere and the whisperings of the big crowd beneath an almo.-t unbroken roof of umbrellas, and helaunched forth into his address in the following language: M'KINLEY'S SPRECH. " 'My fellow-citizens I thank you for this cordial and hearty greeting at the capital cf your great State. We meet in no party name; we meet in the name of common country, of patriotism and of peace. Cheers. It gives me peculiar pleasure to meet the people of the home residence of that illustrious statesman and predecessor in the great presidential office. Renjamin Harrison. Applause.

AT HAUniSOX FUNERAL. With as little ostentation a3 a privat citizen would display in traveling to a distant city President McKinley came to Indianapolis the morning of Sunday, March 17, 13Ö1, attended only by his private secretary, George B. Cortelyou, and an oIHcmt of the secret service. He was met at the station by Governor Durbin, who drove him in a carriage to bis residence at thcorner of Vermont and Meridian street?, where the l'resident was entertained in a quiet, simple manner until evening, when he returned to his home in Canton, o. it was unavoidable that crowds should be at the Union Station w hen the President e anitj from his train and that ho should be attended by throngs on his way to Govt rnor Hurbin's residence and indeed on every occasion when he showtd himself in p:;i,:a in the city, but Ids bearing at all times w;ia dignified and such as to irevent any d monstration. His first act alter resting f r r:i his railroad Journey was to go to the H.irrison home and iay his respects to th sorrowing widow and view the r mains of his dead friend and prt d ce.-sor in -:!;( . . Later he returned to the home of gri f to witness the simple ceremonies preliminary to the public funeral service in the First Presbyterian Church. As a mourning 1.

President McKinley became on ,f th funeral party that slowly wended Its way to the church, and during the sokmn, impressive service sat with head bowe.j in grief in a pew close to the one ocrupb d by General Harrison In his lifetime. Lim was published about the President's visit In the local newspapers, for he did nothing to attract attention. The lack of ostentation that characterized his entry Into tha city and his quitt, dlgr.lhed bearii.qj throughout his brief sojourn h re did mu .1 to endear him to the hearts of the citizens of Indiana's capital. They will is vt forget how he mingled with theirs the tribute of honest sorrow. SCHOOL BOARD'S SESSION. Superintendent Kendall, Just Hack from Koropp, In Attendance.
