ncdvH with keen delight. "The boundary line between Ohio aM Indiana hau been obliterated." said Senator Hanna. "I feel aa If I had been born In Indiana ." From that point on. all tbroug h the address that followed, the senator was cheered repeatedly. . In the beginning; of hi speech he drew with ft ma.t r hand a picture of the desperate conditions thai prevailed when the Republican administration of William McKinley man called to take up the work f regeneration. The revival of business J ad the npsprirtfrtna- of confidence was presntsd no less forcibly In the straightforward, direct, clear, business-like style which the senator has In sptaking. When In the course of his remarks 8enator Hanna declared: Prosperity is not an abnormal condition, but a condition that the natural advantages of the country would seem to insure." the applause broke forth again and continued for some minutes. Passing to brlf remarks on the Philippine question Senator Hanna reached a climax of eloquence with the words: "Our flag Is at the gateway of the Bast and it Is there to stay!" It is ft mooted question. Senator Hanna said, whether the Constitution follows the flsg. but It 1 not a mooted question as to whether commerce, law and morality follow the stars and stripes. On the same topic the senator said amid great applause: William McKinley took his adVice from a higher power than cabinets and he determined that the flag shall stay." The tariff Senator Hanna discussed with
gfUBe keen Insight and same powerful "Never with my consent. he said, "will the tArifT be lowered to a point where It will fail to protect to the limit American Industries and American worklngrmcn." Senator Hanna pointed out that under the beneficent influence of protection the Industries of the country have come to a position of unexampled prosperity, and that it should never be lowered to the point where these Industries and the men whose livelihood depends upon them are endanger 1. With frankness 8enator Hanna took up the trusts. Great combinations of capital are necessary In the rapid evolution of our business, he declared, and while some of these combinations may be wrong, they certainly are not all wrong. Restricted as they should be, he said, there lies in them no danger to the American government or people. CAPITAL. AND LABOR. But It was' when the senator began to talk about the relations of capital and labor that the enthusiasm of his auditors reached Its highest pitch. Some of the speaker's declarations as to the application of the golden rule in treating the disputes of labor and capital were received with tremendous applause. Labor and capital, ho said, go hand in hand, and each is absolutely necessary to the other. The time is coming, he went on, when hibor WlH have to be considered as one of the great Issues and when its organization will be included in the national fabric. "1 am opposed. declared Senator Hanna with Impresalveness, "to strikes and the loss and waste they cause." In settling such controversies he declared that it was the duty of opposing parties to go more than half way in settlement. The application of the golden rule, to the settlement of strikes Is not visionary. "Bring together men seeking only right an justice," said Senator Hanna, "and the result will be .according to your fondest xpectatlons." Passing to the great coal strike just ended. Senator Hanna said that labor scored one of its notable triumphs when the Indianapolis convention decided that the bituminous miners should not strike in sympathy. That has done more to promote confidence in the word and bond of laboring men than anything else heretofore, he said. The senator spoke at some length of the work of the Civic Federation and its value In adjusting differences between labor and capital. Approaching the end of his speech, he declared that the economic and business principles of a political party are the only safe ones on which people can base their safety. Tl.e economic principles of the Repi:bllcan p.irty, he said, have stood the test of time, experience and attack and are proved to be wise and t-ue. He asked voters to compare the records made by other parties with that of the Republican party and then to think over the matter carefully. "Be true to yourselves and to th- loved ones who are dependent upon you." said he, "and I have no uneasiness as to the outcome." t would he the greatest possible disasnator Hunan said, if the people of the country at the coming eWction were to WEATHER FORECAST.

turn the lower house of Congress over to the Democrats. Legislation would be blocked; leaders of commerce and Industry would pause in doubt and suspicion and In a short time the wheels of the mills would begin tc run slow. Capital is timid, as everyone knows, the senator said, and if the Democrats were to get control of the lower house capital would await the enunciation of future policies before going ahead with broad programmes of expansion of trade. "The cost to the country." said Senator Hanna. "would be millions and millions of dollars and labor would be dealt a terrible blow." In conclusion Senator Hanna paid a high compliment to Senator Fairbanks and Representative Overstreet. with the remark that In the Senate no one exceeds In influence 8enator Fairbanks, and in the lower house no delegation Is of greater force In legislation that the Indiana representatives. He made a strong plea for the return of all of them. SENATOR HANNA S SPEECH. Senator Hanna's speech In full was as follows: "Mr. Chairman. Fallow-citizens of Indiana, Ladies and Gentlemen I believe that the boundary line between Indiana and Ohio has been obliterated to-day. Applause. J I have spent a day in the old Hoosier State, and It is a question with me to-night whether I was not born here. Laughter. I want to Improve this opportunity to thank the people of Indiana for this gracious welcome and assure them that it touches my heart and prompts a feeling toward them that will never die out. It is a great pleasure, my friends, to be introduced to this magnificent audience by my friend and colleague. Senator Fairbanks. Applause It Is a great pleasure to me to see this outpouring of people, because it is evidence of the interest they feel in this contest. It Is an evidence that the principles and teachings, aye. the spiritual influence of McKinley still rests upon this people. "What about the issues? Over In Ohio we have an issue, and It is a circus tent. One of our distinguished citizens. Tom L. Johnson, Js the issue. Ills proposition to the American people, because while he is talking to the people of Ohio he is talking over their heads to the whole country there is no limit to that ambition is that he is absolutely In favor of free trade and a single tax. Now if he is the Moses who is to lead the Democratic party out of the wilderness, if he is something more than a mere receiver for the party, he will anpsdf In the political arena in 1904, and you must be prepared to swallow free trade and the single tax. But I am not discussing Ohio State Issues to-night. Nor do I feel that it is necessary to enter into local issues in the face of the more important ones involving national questions. Our record, our platform, our slogan is th.- n or d of the Republican party for forty years. Applause. And If any argume nt were needed to satisfy the people of this country: if any argument were needed to make fresh converts among the antagonists of our party, It would only be necessary to analyze year after year and beginning at the birth of this party, when its foundation was laid upon the principles of liberty, protection and sound money. A COLOSSAL STRUCTURE. "The people of this country have bullded upon this foundation until the structure which has arisen from it is colossal in proportion, overpowering in Influence, but still rising until it will reach the heavens. Is it necessary to call men to their duty by recounting the conditions that have existed within this country within the last ten years? Is it not a fact that in 1S92 the people of tho United States thought they wanted a change, and they got it, and when they got it they didn't know what to do with it. Iaughter. I never hove been able to analyze nor understand what it was in the minds of the people that led them to their conclusion in that campaign. You know what followed. I need not hold up the picture of distress and want and dtsperation before your eyes, because ull of that terrible nightmare through which you passed during those four years is still only too fresh in your memories. But it was an object lesson, whit h. in the light of later events, perhaps, seemed necessary to awaken the people of this country to a true realization of the importance of these great economical and political questions. There is no teacher like experience, and if it needed that experience to show us the fallacies which led us astray It was an experience that came just in time. Following those four years there came a result which was the culmination of desperation. The people could hardly wait for that November election to right the wrong they had done. They could hardly wait to get to the ballot box to retrieve the mistake they had made. "And when, as Senator Fairbanks has said, that great convention of the Republican party at St. Ixuls gave to the country that magnificent platform of protection to American Industries and American worklngmen, and when they faced a possible storm and an honest doubt In the minds of men and pronounced In favor of sound money and a gold standard, placing upon that platform that matchless leader, that great commoner and friend of the people. William McKinley applause, then hope dawned, then hope came once more Into the hearts of the people, and a determination set and fixed In their minds that they would see to it that those principles should be adopted and tii.it that great statesman and leader should be the executor of those principles. PROMISES ALL REDEEMED. "Now, my friends, the promises made at that convention have all been redeemed. The- prophecies made there have all been fulfilled and by and through their fulfillment the Republican party has Justlyearned the full and unlimited confidence of the people of this country. Applause. "That was the foundation of this new era of prosperity, and It came at a time when other conditions were ripe as if directed by a higher hand, to show to the people what pure politics, sound economics and principles would do. They seized upon that opportunity to show their confidence In the policies enunciated there and when William McKinley had been elected and inaugurated President of the United States confidence expanded, people still had greater hopes and when that groat law. the Dingley bill, had been passed by Congr sS and made a statute then as if with a rebound came the reaction of this long-suppressed and pent-up anxiety. Immediately within a few days evidences were visible on every hand. Industries revived, the smoke was again seen from our factory chimneys and the buzz of the wheels in our mills sang merrily in tune. Bright faces were seen upon our streets and men with full diner palls hurrying to their work Instead of being congregated around the souphouses. Applause. Hope and faith took possession of every heart as if it needed onl that. It was because of that confidence, because of the victory of those principles that the men who controlled the great industrial and commercial interests in this country immediately laid their plans for a wider and broader business. That confidence has been maintained from that day to this because the people of the country have been true to these policies. "This United States is the greatest nation in the world. Blessed as we are by a vast area of country, by a diversity of climate, by fertility of soil and by the most enterprising and inttustrial people on the face of the globe applause. It is a perfectly natural quanta that we should be prosperous. It Is not an abnormal condition. Because of these great natural advantages, our great storehouses of mineral wealth, ready to be put tog. th- r at the hands of an Industrious class, foremost In all of our industries and invention we have assumed control and taken possession of the markets of the east. Why. mv fellow-citizens, in 1586 for the first time in our history our exports of manufactured goods, the products of our factories and mills exceeded our importations, and from that day to this we have been gaining In every market of the world. In competition even with the cheap labor of Europe, because of the better finished article and because our productions are more salable and acceptable. Having acquired that, having fought our way with sheer merit Into the markets of Europe, we have plai ted nur flag way out In the outposts of the Orient. PHILIPPINE QUESTION. "I will not dwell upon the Philippine question, but from a commercial and Industrial standpoint, to say nothing about the political standpoint, our flag is there at the gateway of those great markets, on the outposts, at the very key of it. and it is there to stay. Prolonged applause. "It is a mooted question whether the Constitution follows the flag, but it Is not a mooted question whether enterprise, commerce and morality follow the stars and stripes. The great chcistianising influence of the American people knows no limit or bounds. It is a matter of pride to us to know that when this serious comSiication came to us as a result of the panlsh-American war, we had at the head of this government not only an able and tried statesman, a Christian man applause who fully appreciated the civilising power of American institutions and American faith, and. holding that aloof as the high motive for guiding our people arm in his conviction because he took bis
advice from a higher power than a Cabinet, he determined upn that ground to maintain that flag there Applause "And what has been the result? We are producing In this country more than we can consume. We have protected our own markets for the working-men of the United States, and we propose to carry out that policy to the limit. Never with my consent will that tariff be lowered below a point which will not protect the American workmen to the fullest extent. Cheers and prolonged applause. But we must have a market for our surplus and to accomplish that, to meet the enemy upon their own ground and with their own weapons we must accumulate the wealth that belongs to us. which Is fast growing to an enormous amount, in organization so that we may meet them upon their vantage ground with as strong a flnancial force as they jxiss.ss Ii-Ii-, tht natural result of the aggregation of capital. I do not propose to go into details upon this trust question, but I say that in this great era of development, in the evolution that is taking place all over our country, as If Inspired by the Incoming of a new century, as if to mark that epoch by a policy, we must contend for our rights to-day as others have done when they secured these markets, and we will have them, control them by the. sheer power and force of aggregated capital. GREAT CORPORATIONS. "Those great corporations some may be bad. but not all but at any rate it Is the natural evolution and upon the basis of the right of every man to do as he pleases with his own. under proper restriction, and with due consideration to the people and the well-being of our government, there is no danger in the organization of capital and Industries. Applause. They are absolutely necessary and along with them aes another proposition and that is the organization of labor, the two great fac- ; us which, combin d, produce these great results; one absolutely necessary to the Other. Capital would be powerless and useless without the aid of the laboring man to fashion the product Into marketable shape, as also would be the product of a man's labor did he not have capital to carry on the business. That is no new proposition, my friends. The necessities of capital .md labor, acting together as partn rs In their business, is no new Idea. But In this age of development the time is coming. ,y. the time is here now, when that question of labor must be considered alongside and equal to all other great economic questions. Applause. "1 am opposed to the wasteful strikes and lockouts. I deprecate the conditions between those great powers that bring about onditioa of things which is waste to the last degree. Scarcely a year has passed by fhst we have not had evidences or the mismanagement of those forces, and now while men of great and broader thought are giving due' consideration to these questions there is hope, aye there is a certainty, that the prominence of that question will assert for itself a place not only in the minds of the people but in the councils of the Nation. "Capital and labor should be placed In the t lationship of brotherhood. I own that there have been many drastic influences connected with union labor, many of them that have been condemned, and no doubt rightfully so. But in considering that question you must remember that labor unionism is an imported article. It came here from the old countries of Europe, where by long tradition the laboring man had no position whereby he could assert his rights and maintain them. Coming to our shores and filled with the prejudices of his environment In the past it is not to be consld1 against those interests that they do not fully understand our institutions. What we want to do is not to discourage the rights of those working people to do what others are doing in self-protection and to advance self-interests, because of their want of American institutions. My proposition is that we recognize the rights of labor to organize, treat them individually as fellow-nun and then Americanize the unions. Cheers and applause. Fit them to our institutions. Bring them in contact and make them a part of our great economic policies. Consult and consider them when their interests are at stake and consider them from the standpoint, as I say, of the golden rule. THE CIVIC FEDERATION. "Now, there has been an organization I have no doubt you know all about it called the Civic Federation, and the object of those men who have banded together in this work, a work of unselfish and disinterested humanity, determined that as far as their influence extends they Will enter upon an era of education which shall bring a state of things in this country heretofore unappreciated and unrecognized. "The experiences of that organization during the past year have been such as to encourage the men engaged in that noble work to go on with it. Instead of being distouragtd by this terrible strike which has just been settled in the anthracite coal regions, so many more good things have resulted, so many more labor troubles have been avoided by conciliations, so many more strikes have been settled by the mere fact that those questions have been approached In the right way and with the right spirit, calling together the men Interested on either side with a spirit of fairBjsSS and a determination to do right as man to man, and when that opportunity has come in every single instance that has been successful. Applause. Bring together honest, conscientious men seeking only right and justice. and you will find the results beyond the fondest expectations. It has been my privilege, and I like to rept at it in public, that during this last great strike when the miners of the anthracite region In their desperation appealed to their fellow-craftsmen in the West to. strike in sympathy ami bring about conditions which would enforce settlement that In making that appeal under their own constitution It became necessary to call a delegate convention, which was held right here In your city. The whole country had its eyes on the result of that gathering. Consider the situation, my friends. Here were löo.uüu men in idleness, upon the verge of want and hunger, appealing to their fellows that they join them In this terrible struggle and aid them to force a settlement upon conditions which thev had not been able to obtain. But there is in existence an organization which is called the interstate organization among the bituminous coal producers, formed four years ago, formed as a result of good business sense, with the determination to meet with their employers and early in the spring setUe the conditions, scale of wages and price of labor for pne year. That organization had been in effective operation. This was the fourth year. And when I used the argument in some of those conferences in New York and advocated the principle of a settlement upon that basis and in that way I was told that a contract with a labor oru inization was worthless because It could not be enforced under the law. That was prior to the Indianapolis convention and naturally I looked with anxiety upon the result of the deliberations here. But you know the result. The representations to those legions of miners of the bituminous coal fields failed, and recognizing the responsibility of that contract, only binding upon their honor, said: 'No. no, we cannot go out in a sympathetic strike because we have given our word, which Is the only bond Wt have to offer that we will carry out existing contract with our employers to the end and to the letter.' And the vote of that convention to stand by that contract was unanimous. Applause. HELP FOR COLABORERS. "But at the same time they did vote a portion of their daily wages to help their brothers who were Idle. That was good. Applause. And that was noble, but whenever I hear again that there is no honor in the ranks of the worklngmen of the United States I can point to the Indianapolis conntion which will give the lie to any such charge. Applause and cheers. Now. my fellow-cltixens, that is a step In the right direction, for no matter how it may have been considered by those in charge 01 the mines in the anthracite country, the people all through this great West knowing of these conditions and knowing of tii.- -ults will have greater confidence than ever before In their wurkingmen. It jS ope step to the right direction that will be followed by many more such 'steps if only the educated, the benevolent and the ( hr ist tan people of this country will recognize In practice and in business the principles of the golden rule. Applause. It Is our business to come more than half waxIt Is our duty to put ourselves In their place, and from that standpoint consider this question. Applause We must understand their environment and their habits of life. We must unde rstand the origin. We must appreciate that that they have not had opportunities of education and experience under a liberal form of government, and we must be tolerant to the extent that they cannot be made to understand It at once. It must be a work of education a patient and thorough work of education, mingled with tolerance and feelings of humanity. That is the way to bring capital and labor together upon a higher plane, a plane which will be recognised and supported by the best element of all our people. "It may be said, what has this to do with politics? It may not be literally In the abstract a political question, but it Is a question accessory and a part of the very principles of government and civilisation
for which the Republican party stands. fAppiaue.) g0 that we bare the right as Republicans, as the party representing these great humanitarian orlnclples. to make an appeal to the worklngmen of the I. nlted States any say to thsm. 'Your Interest Is our interest and your Interest ia bound up with those principles which give not only the greatest liberty but give the greatest advantage to a 1 classes.' It has been tried and faithful y tried. We have had experience with ffee trade and tariff for revenue, but we have found as an absolute certainty that 111 the end we come back to the very principles established by the Republican party on the day it was born. Applause. MT'ST HAVE 't NFI1 EN 'K. "Therefore I claim, my worklngmen friends, no matter what has been your past affiliations politically, if you appreciate that the spirit among our people is ripe to take up this all Important question In your interest you must have faith in them, you must have confidence In th- leaders, the men who are devoting their time and energy and ability to these great questions from the standpoint of ben olence to humanity. Believing that, is 1 tot fair to say believe us more, believe us when we tell you that the economic polices of the Republican party are the on'v ones upon which It is safe for you to ret your future in this country? They have been tried to the fullest extent. They htive borne the tests of years. They have borne the fierce attack of a demagogue in evjry shape and they stand to-day like adamant. Impervious to ridicule, impervious to argument founded upon fallacies, standing th-re tested by time and tested by experience. Is It not a safe proposition for you to join with the party that has grown stronger and stronger In the advocacy of those principles and has produced conditions In this ountry which you see all around vou on e erv side, conditions enjoyed by all classe; alike in proportion to their industry, intelligence and ability? The freedom is Kiven you as American citizens to exercise an equal power with any other class, and having tho power and Influence of the ballot, which makes every man's power eoual to that of every other man. But In using that power do not be led away by the demagogue. Do not be led away by false issues In Important campaigns where your own material bfterests are the greatest inten sts at stake. Applause. Take advantage of experience. Take advantage of education from those who have had experience and who me;ni you well. Join with that party that is the party of progress, the party of integrity and must be the party and the only party from necessity that can control conditions and keep them as they are. Applause. "Now, In the exercise of that prerogative, great and powerful as it is to the individuals, you have no right to use it flippantly, you have no right to give it to a man simply on personal account or In allegiance to any party If a condition arises in your country, in your very midst where the evidence is so strong that it must carry conviction with it. THE TIME TO THINK. "Then think. Stop and think. If you have been a Democrat or a Populist or a Socialist stop and compare fairly and honestly the record made by these parties and the results which have followed their policies. Be true to yourselves, to your own interests, to the interest of the dear ones at home, who have the right to demand at your hands the exercise of the best Judgment that you can have. Do that and I can predict that the present conditions, based upon the confidence of the people, based upon the solid foundation of economic principles, which will encourage the great masters who control our industries and commercial relations to go on In their operations with the future, and it is those operations which bring this unlimited prosperity, because they are not acting from day to day and month to month. It is because of that confidence they are operating in the future upon a large scale. New industries are projected, new buildings are constructed, all of which employ our labor, all of which are necessary to the continuance of those conditions. Therefore, it is just as Important to the laboring man that he assume the responsibilities of his share of maintaining this confidence, because without it, capital which is always timid, will hestitato about investment for the future, will hesitate about the -expansion of trade and we will be narrowed down to the limit of every day's developments. The world Is moving on, and standing upon the threshold of this new century and looking back upon the history of our country for one hundred years we are lost in bewilderment at the accomplishment of this people. But. judging the future by the past, what is there in store for the American people if they are true and loyal to sound economic and business principles? Nobody can predict, nobody can tell the greatness of our country. Already we have made a position for ourselves among the nations of the earth, not only respected, but feared in the old countries and as a result of that we have assumed new and untried responsibilities. "We want the men who manage the afrals of this government at Washington, In the houses of Congress and in the White House, to be men of capacity and who believe in the growth and development of this country and who will guard safely and securely all the necessary attributes of that greatness. In making your choice of the men who represent you in the lower house of Congress, remember that there is the place where all these great questions must have their beginning and that the policy and action of that house is the one that projects and carries on the great policies of the Nation. WHAT WILL HAPPEN? "Now, turn that body over to the Democratic party and what will happen? You know about that. You know about it from bitter experience, and you also know that with the lower house of Congress Democratic that, as far as any new measures are concerned looking to the further development of this country, they will be antagonistic to the policy of the administration. It will block the wheels of legislation in that direction. And then comes what? A waiting, a wating to see and know what the result will be of this change of policy, and that waiting will arouse the suspicion of doubt in the minds of the men who control the great capital, who move this great machinery of our industries. They will want to know what will be the result of this change of policy, and at that waiting the wheels of Industry will slow down, money will be withdrawn from the natural channels of trade and seek its hiding place In the stockings of the people and the vaults of the banks, and there it is absolutely useless. Just see the workingman if he find that he Is unable to secure six days works In a week! Every day that he is idle that day, or the remuneration of it, is lost forever, and if only a portion of the time is sacrificed to this doubt it will cost this country and its people millions and millions of dollars. There is nothing to my mind that could happen more disastrous at this particular time than that the lower house of Congress should be turned over to a party antagonistic to our principles. Applause. "And I want every man In the State of Indiana to take that proposition with him. I wish that I could speak to every man. I wish that I could arouse interest in the business men to know that they have, could appreciate that they have, an equal Interest In this contest; that they have a greater power and a greater influence because their example goes so far. I have often heard it claimed by friends of mine engaged In business that they were not interested in politics Not Interested in politics? Then they are not interested in the affairs of their country. Applause This is a government or political parties. One or the other must be successful when a contest comes and the only party which is successful if they expect to maintain themselves In power must adopt principles, doctrines like those of the Republican pirty which will stand the test of time and attack. In doing that they bring security and confidence, the foundation which will enable us to grow on. because that confidence will encourage capital for further and increased investment. A BUSINESS PROPOSITION. "Now. my friends, this Is a simple business proposition. It is more important to the men who have the power of the ballot to know that the men whom they send to Congress will represent the principles which are best for them, and not be led astray, as I have remarked before, by any demagogy or personal Interest. That power gives them the right to use their wn judgment and in the end that responsibility rests with them. No class of people in this country can afford ro treat lightly what we call politics, because ft is nothing more nor le?. than the policy of the governing power of our country. Applause. And that begins at the primaries. And that is where, my business friend, you always neglect your duty. Applause. 80 in my city, so in the country. It Is because you have not the time nor inclination to mix up In politics, but if unfortunate nominations are made you are ready with your criticisms of the party for not conforming to your ideas of candidates, some of whom yon will not support. It Is an
1
unsafe proposition, because it is s strike at the root or very foundation of our government. Government ' by party is necessary. The choice of the party is optional, governed onlv by your own Judgment and settled by your ballots. Now, when men have been tried In public service and have been found earnest In their devotion to the affairs of city, county and state, when they have been long enough in the service to establish for themselves a position of influence, it Is the part of wisdom and sound judgment t keep them there. And there is not a man In the United States Senate who occupies a more influential position than does my friend. Senator Fairbanks. Cheers and prolonged applause I want to say right here that the State of Indiana Is very fortunate In her congressional delegation. I know of no delegati"n from any State of more influence and power In the legislation of that body than the delegation from the State of Indiana. Applause and cheers. "It is a mistaken Idea, my friends, to rotate them in office. No member in Congress is worth a cent the fist two : It takes another term to secure for him a position upon some committee that will give him Influence and power of legislation which may be directed for the benefit of his constituency. As long as they are abl Industrious and loyal to the principles of the party that elected them, keep them there and send mor.- of them. Cheers and applause I regret to-day that my physical weakness will not permit me to stand longer upon my feet, and in closing I want to once more thank you, people of Indianapolis and the State of Indiana, for this generous hospitality, which I consider as a mark and evidence of their respect and esteem. There is nothing for me in public life that can compensate for that. If I have earned in my feeble efforts In the few years of devotion to my friend, the martyred President, and his principles applause. If I have done anything that has left an impress upon public records for the benefit of my country and fellow-men. I am well paid. Applause. And I will take as the net result of the compensation the esteem and confidence of my fellow-citizens. Good night." Prolonged applause. CALLS FOR OTHER MI'.N. Senator Bcverida-e and . Representatives Orrrstrert and Land Ik Heard. When Senator Hanna had excused himself on the pica of weariness and had taken his seat there were calls from all over the hall for Senator Beverldge. There was no opportunity for an introduction of any kind, the tumult was too great. When silence came Senator Beverldge said: "Neither the proprieties nor the condition of my voice will permit me to make extended remarks. I can only thank you for this generous greeting and pay a tribute to the great man whose clear and powerful speech you have just heard. We used to hear of the scholar In politics. To-night we have listened to the business man in statesmanship. Senator Hanna is the greatest representative the world of business ever sent to American political life. I will not cheapen his abilities by mere comment. It would be as inadequate as to try to analyze the proportions of a mountain. You will thank him for the honor he has done you. and he will appreciate on his part the honor which this superb audience does him. This audience is an honor to any man; aye. to any cause! "Time does not permit of a thoughtful discussion of these questions, and the time has gone by when anything but a thoughtful discussion will be tolerated by the American people. By its thoughtful consideration of all the great problems which have been presented to It the Republican party has gained the confidence of all, and that confidence we will not loose, because we have nun in Congress who are true to the highest Ideals. "Let every man be of good cheer. Prosperity will continue. Protection will be continued. Where the flag has been placed there will it remain. The Republic is, and shall remain with increasing strength, the greatest power in the world." Calls for Representative Jesse Overstreet were sufficiently indicative of the high regard in which he is held by the constituency of the district. In response Mr. Overstreet said: "The convincing arguments and beautiful sentiments enunciated by Senator Hanna are sure to leave us with more hope for the future. We all remember 1836 and what we fell heir to then, and I know that the experience of the past six years is sufficient grounds for hope of success in 1902. The two cardinal policies of the Republican party are protection and sound money. Under these we have been able to lay a strong foundation for business and to place on the counters of all the world American products. Japanese ships are built of timber sawed from the woods of Washington; American rails are laid In Egypt; American trolley cars run beneath the shadows of the pyramids, and we are able to supply orders from any part of the world from a mouse trap to a battleship. 'The policies for which McKinley labored and for which our distinguished guest has also labored are right, and will win because they are right. The case has been made. The evidence is all in and we await the verdict on the 4th day of November with supreme confidence." Everybody in the house knew that Representative Charles B. Landls was on the platform and there were thunderous snouts for "Landis!" "Landis!" "Landis!" The representative from the Ninth district came forward smiling. "I know," he said", "that everybody here desires to make a speech. I propose to give you all an opportunity. I have abtalned permission of the speaker, and I want you all to stand and With me give three cheers for Senator Marcus A. Hanna that he will remember to the last day of his life!" Everybody was on his feet in a trice, and if Senator Hanna ever forgets that feature of last night's reception it will not be because of lack of sound or sincerity. Senator Hanna stood up with his eyes shining with pleasure. He raised his hand and all noise stopped. "I am not going back to Ohio," he said. "I am going to stay here!" Again and again the cheers rang out and thousands refused to' leave the hall until Senator Hanna and the members of the party had gone down to their carriages. As the senator passed out of the hall his name was on everybody's tongue and everybody was trying to shout at once. The English language seemed to be entirely Inadequate to convey the enthusiasm which continued until the party had driven away. OVATION AT I MO STATION. Ten Thousand People Welcome Senator Hanna to the City. Ten thousand people received Senator Marcus A. Hanna, of Ohio, last night at the Union Station In one of the most enthuslatsic demonstrations the city has ever known. The senator's party was scheduled to arrive at 6:40 o'clock, but an hour before the train pulled in over the Vandalla tracks the train shed, the waiting room and the square in front of the depot were packed with humanity, the units of which were awaiting with intense Interest the first appearance of the distinguished Ohio statesman. The committee of one hundred, marshaled by Col. Harry B. Smith, awaited the arrival of the train in the waiting room. where the Indianapolis Military Band was also stationed. A smaller delegation, headed by Representative Jesse Overstreet, chairman of the committee of one hundred, Mayor Bookwalter. Charles N. Elliott, Floyd A. Woods, Sam B. Sweet, A. A. Young. Will H. Whittaker and others, passed through the gates and stood on the platform ready to greet the senator and his party on the arrival of the train. As the minutes passed the crowd constantly augmented until it was with the greatest difficulty that travelers penetrated the crowd to get to their trains. THE ARRANGEMENTS. The arrangements for the reception of the senator and of the Indiana members of Congress and others that constituted the party had been made with careful attention to the minutest details and there was not the slightest hitch In the programme. At 6:40 o'clock, according to the schedule, the big locomotive drawing he special of four cars rolled slowly Into the station over the track that had been held free for an hour. Standing on the platforms of the cars were figures known to all, and their appearance was greeted with cheers. 8enator Hanna's immediate party, including Senator Fairbanks. Senator Beverldge, Representative Charles B. Landis. Harry S. New. R. O. Hawkins. State Chairman Goodrich and others, were standing on the vlatform of the last car of the special. When Senator Hanna was seen It was the signal for the first tumultuous outburst of cheers, and at the same moment the military band struck up s selection of patriotic music Senator Fairbanks was the first to de

Senator Hanna followed, bearing no appearance of weariness from his arduous tour of speeches through the State; Senator Beverldge, Harry S. New, Representative I .and is and the others came next. Mr. Overstreet went readilv through the ; formality of introductions and the task of assigning the partv to carriages was taken in hand by Will EL Whittaker, secretary of the state committee. MUCH ENTHUSIASM. As the leaders of the reception committee stood for a few minutes in conversation with Senator Hanna and s the members of the party, the enthusiasm of the crowd, which seemed not to depend upon the party affiliations of the members of It, increased rapidly, and as the Ohio senator, on the arm of Senator Fairbanks and followed by Senator Beverldge, Representative Landis and others, went toward the waiting room, the volume of sound was terrific. The roars of cheers passe! from the train shed through the waiting room and reached their climax in the square outside where the mass of the crowd was gathered. The three senators bowed and smiled as they threaded their way through the mass of people toward their carriages. Inside the waiting room the committee of one hundred was drawn up In two fih s. forming a lane through which Senator Hanna and the others passed. Hats were removed in token of respect, and the party passed quickly to where the carriages were waiting outside. In the first carriage Senator Hanna. with Senator Fairbanks. Senator Beverldge and Mayor Bookwalt. r were placed. In the second Representative landis, Charles N. Elliott and Floyd A. Woods had seats, and in the following carriages State Chairman Goodrich. Representative Overstreet and other members of the committee were seated. THE MARCH BEGUN. By this time Marshal Harry B. Smith had the reception committee in line, and it was waiting with the band to take the lead. Treading to the Inspiring music of yie band, the escort started on its- way up Illinois street, passing between crowds that packed the sidewalks from the curb to the property line. Again and again the Ohio senator was cheered by name, and the demonstration was evidently pleasing to him, as his srale has a pleasant quality of appreciation. The crowd cheered the two Indiana senators and recognized Representative Overstreet from time to time as the parade passed along. Now and then some one would recognize the smiling features of Representative Charles B. Landis, and his name would be called. In this wav the escort passed up Illinois street to Market street, east on Market street to Monument place, around Monument place on the north side to Meridian street and up Meridian street to Ohio street. At Ohio street the committee of one hundred took its stand on either side, and again the senatorial party passed through riles of gentlemen with their hats raised. At Ohio street the escort disbanded, the carriages drove away, and the people who had formed the crowds scattered. Senator Fairbanks and Senator Hanna were driven to the home of the former, where the Ohio senator was entertained at dinner. The other members of the party were entertained by members of the reception committee. ESCORT TO THE HALL. After the dinner at the home of Senator Fairbanks the scene of enthusiasm was repeated. . At 8:10 o'clock carriages containing Senators Hanna, Fairbanks and Beverldge. Representatives Overstreet and Landis and others were met at Illinois and Michigan streets. The crowd at that point was impressive and extended many blocks down Illinois street and east along Washington street. Preceded by the Marion, Columbia and other clubs, with something like 1,000 men in line, the Indianapolis Military Band and unattached citizens the senatorial party was driven to Tomlinson Hall by way of Illinois, Washington and Delaware streets. All along the route the enthusiasm was contagious and spread with llghtnlng-Iike rapidity as the parade passed from point to point. The ovation extended by the people generally Included Senator Hanna, the two Indiana senators and Representatives Overstreet and Landis It had been espected that the popularity of Senator Hanna in this city and in the State would lead to a reception out of the ordinary, but such a reception as the Ohio vEfSZ rnel tdu Wa? eniirly unexpected. Nothing like it has been seen In the campaign In Indiana, and it served to demonstrate that interest in the campaign is increasing as the end draws near. REPIBLICAXS PLEASED. They Are Enthusiastic Over the Great Tomlinson Hall Meet in a. Expressions from prominent Republicans as to last night's meeting speak for themselves. State Chairman Goodrich said I knew we would have a good meeting, but I did not look for anything as spontaneous as this. It seemed like the whole city turned out en masse to say to Senator Hanna that it Is glad to see him. The meeting exceeded my fondest expectations. Secretary Will H. Whittaker said-What can you expect when a man of Senator Hanna's caliber comes to town? He is the sort of man whom people like to hear. They know that he not only says something when he talks, but that he stands for the soundest principles of business and politics. County Chairman Elliott I think this Is the death knell of Iemocracy's hopes in Indiana. How any Intelligent man can attend a meeting of that kind, listen to a speech like that and catch the spirit of it ail. and then vote the Democratic ticket passes my comprehension. I think that we now have them where we want them. Floyd A. Woods said In spite of the fact that we had but a short time to prepare for this meeting it is more than satlsfartorv The city has seen few such spontaneous tributes to the worth f a great man as has been given to Senator Hanna No one can say that lack of Interest . xist after a meeting of this kind. Daniel E. Storms. Union B. Hunt and others who attended the meeting, said that It struck them as being the most powerful expression of confidence In a man they had ever witnessed. The other Republicans who fJPT??1 thves said much the Jme thing-that the meeting was a revelation
