Sherman, .t From the Dally Sentinel of Thursday.! " Hayes is here and is the guest of the city. The party, consists of himself and Mrs. Hayes, Webb and Barchard Hayes, General Sherman and . Colonels Toortelotte and Bacon, of his staff. They came from Spring- - field over the L, B. and W. railroad, and Were met at Jamestown by a small party of welcomers, composed of Colonel W. B. Hoiloway -. and wife, Jadge . B. Kartindale and wife, and others. The city was - all agog oyer the expected arrival, and flags and banting were lavishiy displayed on most of the buildings in the central portion of the. city. The streets about the depc were choked with people, and the demonMraUon was enthusiastic in all respects. . A2SrV 4I OF THE DISTUTOUISBTSD GUESTS. A few minute before 6 o'clock the Light Infantry and Union Veteran association, with the drum corps and Beissenherz'a band at the head, marched down Meridian street to the depot, and formed on Louisiana street immediately north of the depot. The street was immediately filled with a crowd who were hoping to obtain a view of the distinguished visitors. At 6 o'clock a salute "was fired announcing the arrival of the train, which, however, failed to come to time. It was soon too dark to see anything, but the crowd remained all the same. Occasionally a private carriage or a heavy beer wagon wonld force its way through the street, which, of course, was highly approved by those who were so fortunate as to be in " the way. The train finally arrived, amid the firing of the salute, at 6:30, and stopped on the north track outside the depot. The crowd pressed around the train to catch a glimpse ot the president Dome one ordered three cheers, and they were given with a will, although no one was certain as to the object. The procession was formed and marched up Meridian street, the mili tary and band infront, followed by Kregelo'eopen top landeau and New York-Benin coach. The crowd surged back to Illinois street and np to the Grand Hotel, expecting the president and his family to mate their entrance there, instead of which they en tered by way of the Maryland street doorsg and went immediately conducted to parlors 38 and 39, which had been prepared for their reception. Alter preparing uieir hjhoi iuey were served with supper in the ordinary. which was the original plan in the entertain ment. The main part of the procession continued to accompany General Sherman and his party to the Bates. General Sherman rode in carriages furnished by J. H. Russell & Co. General Daniel Macauley had charge ot this part of the business. The Bates House was profusely decorated with flags, pictures, shields and evergreen wreaths. A balloon frame hangs from the center of the portico. bearing a picture of Sherman on the street front, and Hayes' picture on the other sides. There probably wonld have been further decorations, but no.other pictures of the general were to be had. General Sherman and party will occudv parlors 3 and 7. These are ele gantly furnished in red plush, with Eastlake beds, while Persian carpets cover the floor. They will a!so be served with their meals in the ordinary. HAKDSOMI HEADQUARTERS. The apartment at the Grand which Presi dent Hayes and wife are occupying, is one of . the parlors of the hotel JNo. 3 with sleep ing room adjoining. The furniture is very ; elegant, being carved walnut with damask trimmings of the latest pattern. The carpet ' is body Brussels of beautiful design, and the bedroom set the finest that could be procured in any furnishing establishment in the country. The rooms are beautifully decor ated with the choicest cut nowers, in Don -quels, baskets and floral designs. The whole is relieved by a selection of large green tub plants placed around the room, giving it a highlys cenic effect. General Sherman is stopping at the Bates, in room No. 7, the furniture beine of Queen Anne style, the floor carpeted with East Lake Brussels, the windows hnng with lace curtains and decorated throughout with choice flowers and plants. k ' TH8 BECKFTIOK AT THE COUBT HOUSE. ' Flags, flowers and ferns were festooned In the Court House yesterday. The platform -on which the presidential party was to Bland was decorated in patriotic style. The main corridor was decorated profusely, and the second floor also presented a holiday appearance. These decorations were elaborate and arranged with taste, therefore it is unnecessary to enumerate them. By 8 o'clock the attaches of the Court House and specially invited guests were assembled around the stand which was erected in the ' enter of the main haU. The attaches were to have the first sight of . the presidential party, and then retire " to their own rooms! The other guests were to do likewise. ' J. M. Ridenonr, chairman of the executive committee, did everything - in his power to make the affair a pleasant one, and Chief-of-Police Travis, with the assistance of Captain Nicholson, .kept the eager throng away from the stand. Biessenhen's band waa stationed on the second -floor, with instructions to play some patriotic air as soon as Mr -Hayes appeared. In the meantime, about 8 o'clock, the Seymour band arrived, and played in front of the ' Court House, and 20 000 people who surrounded the building imagined that the president had come, and they . cheered vociferously. Soon the mistake was discovered, and then the hub-bub became .general. At about 8:30 o'clock the doors of the grand entrance . on the soath side were opened, and General William T. Sherman , and Colonels Tourtollote and Bacon, of Sherman's staff. Senator McDonald and General Dan Macauley entered and mingled with the crowd. In a few minutes Webb Hayes entered and said his father had gone to the residence ' of Ingram Fletcher to attend the golden wedding of John 8. Newman. Shortly after that Hon It W. Thompson, secretary of the - navy, arrived and waa assigned a place among the distinguished guests. About 9 o'clock or a little after, the presidential;party arrived. The other distinguished guests left the interior of the Court House and assembled on the front steps ot the Court House to receive the party. 'Mid music and cheers they ascended the steps. One of the first acquaintances met by Mr. Hayea waa Senator ' McDonald, whom be shook cordially by the hand. Following the president came Colonet W. R Hollowey and Mrs. Hayea, Barcbard Hayea and Mrs. Hollowey, ax Goternor Bar bank and Mrs, Cany and Mrs. JobaC Wright. As the president reached the broad landing

at the top of the steps, he waa greeted by Mayor Caven, who delivered the following ' address of welcome: 0 MAYOR CAVKJJ'S A.DPKJXS Of WELCOME. . ' Three score years ago the place whereon we stand waa .a wilderness. Inhabited only by wild beasts and still more savage men at this hoar dark:, silent and dreadful. If sounds broke thtr gloomy stillness. It was the fierce and hungry cry of beasts of prey or fiercer whoop of savage. If light glimmered here and there. It waa the, Indian camp fires. To-night

wu? a control as. it by magic the scene nas changed. Here a magnificent temple dedicated to. Jostle, hung out from every wall " the gloriou! lJanr ner of the free, ablaze with the festiTf1 light of a city of 100,000 Inhabitants the capital of a Btaie of ZjOOO.000 prosperous people, fall abreast of the world's civilization. That wilderness is now" blossoming as the rose about as a garden as fertile aa the valley ot the Nile, and we are sending oVtily bread to nations across the ocean, and should communication between the seaboard and tSU far inland granary be interrupted for a few days, the com merce of tne world would feel tne shock ana the cry of famine come to uh from the other side of the globe, demonstrating how Intimately the nations of the earth are bound together. The productions of this recent wilderness are now not only important, bat almost Indispensable, to the existence of old and far-distant nations Important to the affairs of the world. England, "mistress of the seas," sending to us. for rations to feed her armies in India and Africa, fighting for markets for her wares, for employment for her workmen, to maintain her manufactures, upon which depends her position in the rank of nations, since the earliest history governments have been administered almost entirely by monarchs and despots. Within a short period the question oi man saDllliy. lor sell-government has been discussed and denied by those in hereditary power, claiming the divine right of kings to rule, and honestly doubted even by the wisest and best well-wishers of the race, and to-day the United States and recently France are the only great Republics in the woria. eeir-government, nowever, is no longer an experiment. We are a people aoknowledgeing no rater but the Supreme Beins, and oar own will adminlsterinxour Gov ernment not through rulers, bat public ser vants. This lorm ot uovernmenl could not have arisen in the old world. The shackles of centuries were about the limbs of progress tne censorsnip oi armed tyrany ana Digoiry over conHsience, and thought. Only a new land could give birth to the Ke public. Only noon New Kneland rocks and in the shadow of a great wilderness stretching thousands of miles away wa its culmination possime, although from the very neaped np wrongs and oppressions of ages was being molded la the Omnipotent Hand the preparatory conditions. Our ancestors, fleeing from despotism ana religions intolerance, left king's caste and aristocracy behind, but brought the Magna Cbarta and the spirit of freemen with them. in tbe shades or tne rarest, or wnue newing it down, and battling with nature, the arms were made stronc. and the spirit of freedom nurtured in the presence of free rivers, plains ana mountains, ana to-uay we are amigaty nation or su.uuu.uuu freemen, ana tne nation but yet in its infancy cast the horoscope to the hour on the dial of time an hundred years hence. Look aoown the pathway of empire for a century to come, and the most sanguine prophet will prophesy.truest, and the wildest dream of the imagination tame in the pres ence oi tne reality. Above us to-uayis noating ireeaom s millowed banner of stars, and higher still the banner of Christian civilization, and we are sending to the people from which we sprang not bread alone, but discoveries and inventions In art, and science and the higher flight and sweep of thought and reason that elevates and emancipates the race; sending back, advanced realized Ideas of government, liberty, and the rights of man until in time the nations across old ocean's flood will take np the echo of freedom's shout, and resolve that they, too, will be free, and to-day in tnis place, out a lew years ago a wild and unexplored lana, nas been realized in all its beneiicence this longdreamed -of, fought-for, bled-for, dted-for. ideal government a government oi tne people, and here this moment is standing: Its chief representative in the world, one of the people tne president oi tne un ilea estates oi America, to whom, with the noble women, distinguished statesmen and renowned warriors with him, Indianapolis extends the right hand of nearly welcome. Owing to the restlessness of the crowd, and the consequent noise, the remarks of Mr. Caven were heard by but few. THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS. Mr. Hayes then stepped to the front, and in a loud and clear voice responded briefly as folio W8: Mr. Mayor and Fellow Citizens I am told by the committee having charge of tbe arrangements for to-morrow that I am not expected to speak during my stay in Indianapolis at any length except, possibly, at the Fair grounds to-morrow. I. thereiore. this " eve ning merely In a single sentence, return thanks to the . mayor and to the committee of arrangements for the fair, and to the citizens whom they represent for this very friendly welcome, and bid you good uignu ' " This brief speech was greeted with thun ders ot applause from the thousands of peo pie assembled, most of whom did not hear a word that was said, fhe presidential party then entered the Court House, and took their positions on the platform above described, where they were inflicted with the hand-shaking mania. Conspicuous among those who greeted the president was uovernor James 1). Williams, who waa very cordially greeted by Mr. Hayes. - The doors of the Court House were then thrown open, and the multitude were ad mitted in the west door and allowed to paes out at the east. It would be idle to attempt to estimate the number who passed through. At the conclusion of this entertainment Mr. and Mrs. Hayes retired to their hotel. and General Sherman and staff, accompanied by General Dan Macauley, visited the Opera House. Mrs. Hayes was dressed richly, but plain' ly. Her drefs was a lavender brocade silk, elegantly, but plainly trimmed. She looked like a woman that any man would be proud to nave for a mother, one has the appear ance of a thoroughly good woman. The president was the same aa he is represented in his picture a plain man. Webb .Hayes looks like one ot the boys, and is orchard wears eye glasses and is exquisite. There is no use in .describing General 8berman, because every one knows the tall, gaunt lorm ol "lecump." From the Dally Sentinel of Friday. Hayes was here Thursday. It was a gala day in all respects. People trooped in from all parts of the State, and crowded the streets to ovetflowing. The central part of the city was covered by a mass of moving humanity, It seemed as thongh it would be impossible to have a parade, so thickly were the people gathered. . It would be an idle use of . words to attempt to describe the crowd. It enough to say that the streets were almost impassable, and that tbe crowd ' was good-natured and civil. The weather could not have . been better if it had been, ordered for the occasion. - It waa warm, bright and pleasant Occasions of the kind that call great crowds together naturally evoke a spirit of enthusiasm, but, notwithstanding the swarms of people on the streets yesterday, and all the pomp and panoply employed to make the affair a suo cess, there was not heard a single sponta neous cheer along the entire line of march. BETOBE THE MARCH. To review the events of the day: After visiting the residence of General George B. Wright and family and breakfasting with them at 8 o'clock, in company with General Sherman, the president and his family re ceived quite a number of callers. At 10 o'clock the president left the residence to join in the parade. Mra. Hayea viewed the procession from a balcony erected for the purpose on Market street, in front of the rostofnoe. On the stand with Mrs. Hayes vere Hon John 8. Newman and wife. Mrs. W- it- Hoi loway, Mra. Davis, Mrs. Baggs, Mra J. M. Ridenour, Mias Emma Ridenonr, Miss Baggs, Mra. Morris Defreee. Mra. J. M.

Rock wood, Mra, John Bradabaw, Mra. Eaton, Miss Helen Wrinht, Mra. John Coburn. Mra. John Spann and Mrs. Eckert. Throughout the line or. march the president was kept busy in acknowledging the attention of the crowd. Ha of course was the central figure of the whole affair, and held the eye of the vast crowd. - Seated tn the carriage with General Sherman waa Judge W. H- Hayes, of United States district court, Kentucy; General . H. Murray, Louisville, and General Ben Spooner, and in the carriage following was General Sherman's staff. Governor Willi)" b4 staff were mounted, and the gentlemen comprising the latter consisted of Adjutant General Rues, Quartermaster General Beck, Surgeon General Wright, Commissary General Vannoy, Captain Emmett, Captain Blakely, of Evansville; Captain. Carnahan, of Lafayette; Major MeKenna and Captain Ballard of this city; Lieutenant Messlck, of Evansville; Lieutenant Staff, of Terra Haute, and Major Howes, of this city. There were probably never before more persons in the city than were here on yesterday. It seemed as though the entire State had for the nonce its entire population at Indianapolis. It was a big time, a big crush and a big event generally. THE PARADE. A Long and Bewildering Spectacl, -Some Points of the Display. A detachment of mounted police took tbe lead and cleared the street in advance. These were followed by the marshals of the occasion, the drum corps, Beissenherz's band, the carriage containing the president, General Sherman and their companions. The Peru band came next, after which several pieces of artillery, some more marshals, the Muncie band and the fire companies. Tbe insurance companies were, very appropriately, in close proximity to the tire engines. The letter carriers completed the first division. The second division cams up with the customary marshals at its head. In this division tbe Eagle Machine works led off with 22 wagons. They were followed by the Atlas works. Dean Bros, and the rest ot the iron workers. The Pan -Handle express car next rolled along, with tbe express companies in the rear. The Pioneer Brass woks represented their manufactures on the side of a beautiful monument. Saw works and agricultural implements came on till you couldn't rest. The coal dealers had 32 horses hitched to a large wagon to represent their interests, and announced the consumption ot 9,950,000 . bushels of coal and coke by the city during the year. Brouse, the driven well man. had a wagon carrying a wind mill in full blast. A large number of grocery wagons, mowing machines and reapers came along, ana then came cttudebaker's train ot wagons, car penter's marble works are evidently crowd' ed with orders, as their hands were busily engaged in cutting and carving. Gates, with his spices and spice mills, closed this di vision. Budd & Co. had made a big rooster of Will, who crowed and flapped his wings vigorously. Gordon & Hopkins announced the arrival of the butter and eggs men. J. A. Hunt & Co. brought on tbe bast soap, so they said. Lemon Bros, had a lot of beautiful fruits, and then came enough butter and cheese to feed tbe county. H. H. lee had erected magnificent pyramid oi spices and teas, and the tea delegation of course followed him. Jack Garver occupied his share of room with a long string of buggies. After John Darby & vo., confections, and j. m. smuvan, produce, William Backus fc Co. brought on tbe beer. The fourth division started out by send ing Geisendorff s woolly carriages to tbe front, along with the great triumphal car containing "Majah wool." The major seemed to be studying where he left his bat, and he looked warm. ScbaSaer's oyster bay sent out a great pyramid of oyster ' cans. The display of furniture by Spiegle & Thorns, the Indianapolis Chair company, and Mueller, the stair builder, was very fine indeed. Tbe Howe sewing machines were numerous ana beautiful. Griffith Bros., with their name in large gilt letters on the side of tbe wagon, made a good showing of millinery goods. The book men were represented by Bo wen, Stewart 4 Co , Merrill, Hubbard & Co., and William B. Harford, ttyrain, Uorneliuj & Co. stacked up their dry goods boxes on a wagon without ornament. A Chinese dwelling rolled by on wheels, from which Albert Gall's goods protruded. Some chap, who had plenty and to snare, threw away handfuls of plugs of tobacco, which were caught by the hoys. A. i. Wright & Co. displayed their carpets, and Theodore Pfafnin his pianos, to advantage. A little sable-hued chap trundled a wheel barrow along after tbe mail coach, with a banner announcing "Anything irom a mail coach to a wheelbarrow," which wasn't bad. After Hess & Baylor and Davis & Vole, dry goods, came an elephant constructed out of two boys, and it was followed by the" When" delegation on horses. The Central elevator in miniature, with a freight car waiting to be loaded, was followed by "A model State Board of Agriculture, consisting of a set of rusty looking chaps. Center township came up with its products tastefully arranged. The Valley Mills nursery made a fine display of shrubbery and evergreens. Warren township showed up her hay, corn,, pumpkins and sheep. Milt Pouder had a long string ot cattle. wagons, sheep, etc., after which came Parrott & Nickum, and Bryce, with their wealth of bread and crackers. -Then came the lumber wagons, one of which had about the largest walnut log aboard that ever grew, ihe milk danea came in next, and it was left to the ice dealers to wind up the grand est industrial parade ever witnessed in the Htate. The procession failed to start promptly on time, and consequently a great many turned away to nod their dinners before tbe close. It required two hours for the procession to pass the Sentinel office. It would be impos sible to stoo and comment on anything. Suffice it, that everything was in fine order. all the wagons were tastefully adorned and the warea advantageously displayed. The various bands that visited tbe city made excellent showings and furnished sweetest music. AT THE FAIR GROUNDS, An Immense Crowd in Attendance Addresses by Hayes, General Sherman and Secretary Thompson. 1 Thuislay witnessed tbe largest attendance at tne fair ot any exhibition ever held in the city. From early morn until late in tbe afternoon people flocked to the grounds by tnousanas, every available conveyance carry. ing immense loads, and at prices to suit the owners of the wagons. The street cars were unable to transport one-third of the visitors. and tbe owners of express wagons and other venicies cnargea any price which suited their fancy, and it was extorted from lurge numbers who were compelled to acoade to the unjust demands ot tbe - "vampires, or ' walk to toe grounds. In some casss aa high as 75 cents per head waa col lected, which is a disgrace to the city, and should be investigated by tbe proper author Hies, and tbe overcharges collected from tbe "wolfish" clan In good round fines by the mayor. , By 3 o'clock p. m., the time announced for tbe president's reception, there were fully 60,000 people on the grounds. S'anding under the pavilion which was erected for the reception of tbe presidrat and bis party, and looking oat in anv direction it appeared as one great sea of heads and moving human forma Never waa such a sight seen npon the fair grounds before. The people could scarcely move about, ana it waa a difficult matter to get oat ot tne lociosare wnea onee within. The grand industrial procession commenced

pc saint fbfs grand stand at about 11 o'clarV

and a continual stream ot wagons, contain ing magnificent dtsnlava. ntnntaenting every industry known to modem times, "flowed" through the grounds until 3 o'clock p. m. The wagon containing tbe figures, go tie a no to burlesque tbe State Board of Agriculture. on account of their adverse action to tbe sale of b.er npon the e rounds, waa com. mented aeon very severely bv tie members of tbe bird, and especially by tbe superintendent, who said if he thooght this waa the intention of the "model," he wonld have reiusea it admittance to the groaoda Daring the passage of tbe procetsion Superintendent Lockhart waa standing npon two chairs in the pavilion directing the way for the "paraders" to pass tnrougn, when one of tbe chairs slipped and he fell headlong onto another pile of chair, and landed in a ridiculous attitude, which brought jeers from the crowd around the stand and cries of "No beer allowed on these grounds." This reception served to close the month of the superintendent during the remainder oi tne afternoon. About 3 o'clock p. m. the president and party Arrived and were received by the president a&a members of the State Board ot Agriculture. Tne parllioa was situated about the center of the grounds, and In It was seated the members of tbe State Board and a large number of ladles and prominent citizens. Among them were Hon. Wm. Crim, Mrs. Sarah Haynes. ex-state librarian, Hon. A. B. Claypool, Dr. G. W. McConnell, Hon. J. B. Gerard, and Hon. A. H. Hamrick. President Hayes and wife, General Sherman and Colonel Richard Thompson, secretary ot the navy, were escorted to the pavilion, and introduced to the occupants of the stand, while tbe vast crowd sent uo hearty cbeers at sight of his fraudulent excellency. Without further ceremony President Hayes was in troduced and spoke as follows: PRESIDENT HAYES SPEECH. Mr. President and Kellow-oe or Indiana The guests ot the city of Indianapolis and of the State Board of Agriculture are not likely to mistake the meanlug of the enthusiasm which we have seen in the city and which we now see here upon this fair ground, the reception and the welcome so hearty and so entnuHlastlo are not for any individual official or otherwise. Tbe welcome and tbe recep tion wnion Onega togetner mis vast multitude Is not for any human being. It is for a new fact. You are here to weleome tbe coming of better times, yon are here to rejoice over, to be giad, and to welcome the return to a solid currency; to we come the restoration of individual and national credit. After the long night, five or six yean of business depression, ot gloom, of financial disaster, you welcome again tbe good time coming. This Is why we are here; why we are so glad to be here: why the people are so enthusiastic. Before coming we heard something in detail of Indiana. We looked around to see what we could learn of Indiana, so when we heard from your committee and your chairman their account of this great State, we should be able to appreciate it, with the information that we received from other sonreea. We understood perfectly well when we came that Indiana could raise, and perhaps has raised in a single year 60,000,000 bushels of w eat, worth fio.000,000. We understood that Indiana bad raised, and can continue to raise. 150.ooo.uOO bushels of corn each year, worth SiO.Ouu.OOJ or SdO,000,000. We understood that Indiana raised cattle, hogs and horses, and every product that can be raised lu tbe best part of tbe best continent on the globe. We understood that Indiana had coal and iron and timber and manufactories, and that of all the good things she had she waa beginning to have what all the country is begin ning to have a market for all ner surplus over tbe sea, and we under stood that Indiana did not stop with these material advantages that I speak of. We also learned that Indiana has a care not merely lor cattle aud horses and crops, but tbat she has about 10,000 school houses, and tnat in proportion to tne population, she, perhaps, has the largest school fund of any of the United btates. tso, my friends, we are glad to come to Indi ana, because we know that whatever good times may bring to any part of this country, vhev are sure to brink to a State so conditioned a lion's snare of whatever belongs to prosperous times. Indiana also has a history of which ber cltl zens may well be proud, with a population drawn more largely from tbe Southern section oi our u nion tnaa peruaps any otner oi tne Western Btates that were old tree btates. she had her peculiar difficulties and her peculiar embarrassments. lu the great straggle tor the Government and for the Union It was bat hu man nature that men should sympathize with that part of the country from which they or their raiders emigrated. This might well lead to some difficulties. I don't stop to criticise or remark upon it, but, nevertheless no State of tne union Aprooamy, in proportion to popula tion, sent more men to the war than Indiana. and Indiana soldiers, from the beginning to vue ouu ui iuu struggle, carrying tne nag ana hwuiuk step to tne inasio oi tne union, tney were tne gallantest. bravest and sturdiest soldiers wno maintained the Union and tbe constitution. We would speak ot Indiana in the war. Especially wonld we speak here in the presence of the neighbors ahd friends of Oliver F. Morton. We en not pass the topic without pausing for a moment to speak of him. Morton In the 8enate as a senator, aa a debater, was absolutely matchless. Morton aa a leader of a political party (and with this my menus oi tne iiemoc ratio party win agree with my friends of tbe Republican party) tbat as a leader of a party there was not living in nis time tne man wno waa aoove nun. uui it is not as a senator merely: it is not aa tbe leader of a party no, it is not as a popular debater before audiences like this alone we sboald SDeak of Oliver P. Morton. And yet bow wonderlol waa his power before an audience like this, crippled as he was, sit tiog luacnalr boltllng spell-bound thousands of his countrymen by tbe hour, a feat which whioh no other man which I have ever heard or read of could do as be could. And yet. it is not ot these tilings that I now mention his name: they may pass away, oat Die distlno Hon was in having no connection whatever officially with tbe Uovernmenl of the United Btates Having no connection witn the civil or military affairs under the Uovernmenl of the United btates, simply a goveraor of single State, what did he accomplish T They have had great war governors luotaer States. I am not here to disparage the ability, t he patriotism, the courage, the great qualities of John Brough, ot my own State, and our other ar governors In Ohio, or in Pennsylvania, or tn Massachusetts. But this Is simply true: tlit no governor in any state, under each difficulties as he encountered, bore up the flag of tbe Union at it was borne up by 0 iver P. Morton. Cheers.l My friends, returning to the good times com ing, what ball we do with them when they come? A voice Enjoy them.J That Is good, but let ns try and keep them. t them come to stay. Now, in human a flairs there sterna to be a circle. We are traveling perpetually in a circle at one time prosperous, at another not quite so prosperous. These periods come around perhaps once In about 2o years, it is said. How can we lengthen that out to 21 years, say, or 30 years. When hard times come whom do tbey hit hardest? They hit tnat community hardest which Is the mot In debt. Where do tbey hit lightest? They hit that commanlty lightest where there is tne least debt. Tbat tells its own story. There is the login, if we would have good times always let as live within our income; let ns iay as we go. And ol, other thing, I can not, in tbe presence of this audience, elaborate anything. Tbe great instrumentality of business, oi commerce. Is. currency. Now, my friends, ' our business, our commerce, more largely than ever before, is with the whole world. Our products are so valuable to day in Indiana because tbey have sought, and they have found, their market across the ocean In tbe markets or the world. Then, if we would keep oar advantages in the maraeteof tbe world, let as tee to it that thai great Instrumentality ot modern oommerce, currency money, is established In this country on the principles that are acknowledged as sound ad the world over. My friends, I have talked quite long enough. Cries of Uo on, go ou."j There is only one other tiling that I would like to talk about in Indiana, as I am about quitting to taia for 12 months. I wish to say ibis: There la a portion of oar country oft Seath, and we have part off North of ns and West la another, and in the past one of our troubles has been that in each section they had their own separate, distinct publie opinion, by which ail men and all events are Judged. Why, a man in Ueorvla did not care a straw what you people in Indiana Ibougbtof anything be might do or say. Oliver P. Morton .nd other men like him did not care much about what they thought down In Ueorgla about what he said; and so of tbe Pacldo coast. Bat. my friends, now as tbe old lines of division have largely been broken np and disturbed, so that 1 talk tbe same talk at ot. Joseph, Mo , and am applauded In tbe same way then for that talk tbat I am here. Aehanye has come. It is tow. it is not aa fast aa we would like to bave it. We would like it all done ap la J4 bourn; bat slavery lasted years, aod tbe education of 00 years Is not to be wised out In one admlnkuratlon. Now, what we want la tbat on the fad eoasl, Aa the Booth, in the

North, every event that occurs of teoeral importance, everything tbat is said aud done by pablk: men shall be Judged by tbe common fmblte opinion ofthownole United States. Applause. That you people in Indianapolis, and each one of yon shall have a measure in forming public opinion that governs Ueorgla and governs Call fornU Just as It governs Ind'na. Crlee of "Amen; tbat to rtgbk" My friends. thanking you for trying to bear me this length of lime, I will say, in conclusion, tbat your beautiful city baa surprised and delighted us all. Your magoitlceut exhibition I of this morning; Uie condition of your city; 1 lis ornamentation: your hospitality and your welcome we could not if we would, and we would not if we could, ever forget them. - At the conclusion of the president's address, loud calls were made for General ! Sherman, the hero of "Tecurap," who advanced to the front amid tbe deafening cheers of the vast multitude, which continued for some time, and waa a much more enthusiastic reception than that which grated Mr. Hayes. General Sherman spoke as follows: OEXKRAL SHEBHAH'S SPEECH. Ma.

Bound t Have Her, tUoOee's Weekly .1 The old hiaa Beudlgo keeps a pretty sharp eye on his dadgntef Mary, and many a would-be lover has takes) a walk after a few minute's conversation with the hard-hearted parent The old chap is stuck ttfla time, however, and cards are out for the wdding. After the Incky yonng man had been sparking Mary for six months, the old gentleman walked in as usual, requesting a private confab and led off with: "You seem like a nice young man, and perhaps you are in love with Mary?" "Yes, I am," waa the honest reply. "Haven't said anything to her yet, have yon?" "Well, no; but I think she reciprocates my affection." "Does, eh? Well, let me tell you something. Her mother died a lunatio, and there's no doubt Mary inherited her insanity." 'Tm willing to take the chances," replied the lover. "Yes, but you see Mary has a terrible temper. 8be has twice drawn a knife on me with the intent to commit murder." "I'm used to that; got a sister just like her," was tbe answer. "And you know I've sworn a solemn oath not to give one cent of my property to Mary," continued the father. "Well, I'd rather start in poor and build np. There's more romance in it" The old man had one more shot In his carbine, and said: "Perhaps I ought to tell you that Mary's mother ran away from home with a butcher, and that all her relations died in tbe poor house. These things might be thrown up in after years, and I am now warning yon." "Mr. Bendigo, I've heard all this before," replied tbe lover; "and also that you were on trial for forgery, and bad to jump Chicago for bigamy, and served a year in Htate prison for cattle stealing. I am going to marry into your family to give it a decent reputation. There no thanks good-bye." Mr. Bendigo looked after the young man with his month wide open, and when he could get his jaws together he said: "Some byena has gone and give me away on my dodge." "Peter, what are you doing to tbat boy?" asked a school master. "He wanted to know, 11 yon take 10 from 17, how many will remain; I took 10 of his apples to show him, and now he wants me to give 'em back." "Wall, why don't you doit?" Cos, sir, he would forget how many are left."

A DEVIL'S DEED.

Brutal Harder of Ills DiToreed Wife, by J. Fred Will, Tuesday Morning. Tie Murderer Surprises His Victim and Dl8 embowels Ear With a Hunting Knife. He Then Ends His Worthless Life by Shoot Lag iliinMlfin the Bead. The Causes That Led to the Doable TrtgadyOne of tbe Host rearfoi Crimea That Ever Disgraced the City's Hiatory. One of he most cold-blooded and atroe'tous murderr, among the many that Indianapolia has furnished, was the HlHns; of Mrs. Will by her fiendish, thongh divorced. husband, J. Fred Will, Tuesday morning. The scene of the tragedy was No. 191 North Liberty street, where Mrs. Will resided with her children. About 5 o'clock Tuesday morning, while Mrs. Will waa preparing; breakfast for ber children, her former hus band entered the kitchen, and without a word of warning plunged a huntingknife into her abdomen, inflicting a terrible gash, from which her intestines pro traded. The alarm was immediately given, of course, and in a few moments a number ot neighbors arrived on the scene. After Blabbing his divorced wife, Will shot himself in the head with a No. 3S Colt's revol ver, and died inside of three hours. THE CATSE OF THE TBAGEDT. Mrs. Will, who was 55 years of age at the time of her tragic death, waa married to her murderer about five years ago. Originally her name was Siemmelich, and by her hus band by that name she had three childrenJohn, whe is married, Frank, aged 19, and Harry, aged 14. Tbe latter clerks for Leo Daniels, of the Circle House cigar store. After the marriage of Mrs. Siemmelich to Mr. Will he became very dissipated, and was generally known as a bad character. He relinquished all employment, and became a worthless and quarrelsome vagabond. He was in the habit'of going home drunk and abusing hia wife and children. Hi wife bore this . aa long aa aha could, and last February they were divorced. Since then he bas made frequent threats against the life of herself and her children. Tuesday morning he was under the influence of liquor; be had probably nerved himself up to tbe tragedy he was about to commit, and he called on bis wife. His call was the call of death. He let out her heart's blood, and she died. He did not save his miserable carcass to be hanged, but blew out his worthless brains. Tbe crime was a horrible one. An inoffensive woman waa slain by a brute, and it is a wonder that he had sense enough to kill himself. Hia wife did not leave him until hia conduct became unendurable. His brutal conduct waa more than any human being could bear, yet those who knew him aay be leved her he must have loved her as the beast loves hia meatThe unfortunate woman waa engaged in kneading bread, in an outhouse, used as a summer kitchen, when the slayer appeared. That sbe surmised hie intent, is manifest from the fact that sbe acreamed for help aa soon as she saw him. Her cries were quickly hushed, however, by the plunging of the wicked knife into her body. The wretch who committed this deed died too soon. He died before he had suffered enough, but he died as he should have died a victim to that remorse which follows the greatest crime which can be committed. - STATEMENT OF THE VICTIM'S SOB7. Frank, the son ot the poor woman, givea the following account of the tragedy : I was la bed yet this morning. In the middle room, when I beard mother soream out In the kitchen. Brother Harry waa in the iron t room, also asleep. I dressed myself aa quick as possible and ran oat to see what was the matter. When I got In the yard the door was shut and fastened, I couldn't get la. Then I heard the pistol fired. 1 ran around to the window and looked in, when I saw mother and Will lying there. I didn't know they were dead. I sent Harry after Dr. Wright. I am carver at Bplepel at Thorns. Harry works at Daniel's cigar store in the Circle House, and John is bookkeeper at Fishlnger's saloon on East Washington street. Our lather's name was Siemmelich. From relatives of both parties to this terrible tragedy, it ia learned that Will has al-w wavg cherished an animosity toward the children of his wile, and tney nays generally considered it gocd policy 0 Keep out of hia way, Hjj .daughter Her lather loved Mrs. Will passionately, and grievt!? OTtrtUe separation. On Tuesday night he took tup-? per with his daughter and son in-law, and appeared to be in good epinta. When they retired tbey supposed he also did the same, and were inexpressibly shocked when they heard the nature of the crime he had committed. Coroner Wisbard viewed both bodies, and will return a verdict In accordance with the facta. THE FHYSICIAX'S STATEKEnT. The following ia the statement of Dr. Charles E. Wright, who was called to attend npon the murdered woman: I was called to see Mrs. Siemmelich. 191 North JUberty street, at oW a. m : arrived. soon after, and In a smoke house, need as a summer kitchen, found Mrs. Biemmelioh dead, with a knife wound in the abdomen twoinobea long and about two Inches above tbe umbilicus, extending slightly to the left aide. Mrs. 8. was lying upon her back with her left cbeek ag-lnst the stove leg in the east side of the room. By the door, on the west side of the room, leaning against the wall of the house, J. Fred Will waa sitting on the floor wlta a ballet wound in bis right temple.rutht aide of face blackened and bruised. In forehead about one and a half inohes above left eye was another wound, where In all probability the bullet found exit. A pool of blood mixed with brain matter waa by tbe door. Finding will still alive, I moved him to tbe middle of the floor, and found a large knife 13 Inches In length beneath blm, and a seibbard and belt beneath his vest. A navy revolver with two empty chambers waa lying on the floor in front of the door. My opinion Is that Mrs. Biemmelioh came to her death by means of the knlie wound In ber abdomen, which, from the direction and position. must have severed tbe aorta; and further, I believe that J. Fred Will died at 8:15 a. m., from the ballet wound In head. Inflicted by himself. The bullet which killed this foul murderer passed clear through hia head and lodged in a rafter in the roof of the kitchen. The body of the murdered man was taken charge of by Undertaker RusselL This crime surpasses in atrociousneea the) Cluck morder; in fact it Is almost as bad aa the Merrick murder; it could sot exceed It in fiendishness. the atuEnamaa a bad chaactkb, 3. Fred Will, the perpetrator of this horrible crime waa a bad man. It was only recently that he waa on trial In the criminal court on charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. Physically, be waa "strong aa a bull," and he had as little refinement as one. He catered to hia grosser appetites. He waa a man who gave way to his paariona, and those who knew him beat were not surprised when they heard ot thai tragic end ot this man's oareer.
