Acres of People Surround the Distinguished Visitors and Give Them a Welcome. As early as 9 o'clock yesterday morning:, people fcegan to gather at the Intersection ot Washington and Noble streets, at which point it had been announced the Presidential party would be received. Eveiybody, it seems, tried to be there heft-re his neighbor in order to secure a standing place Irom which the alighting of the distinguished party could be seen. By 10 o'clock the streets lor a block or more la either direction were thronged, and long before the time for the arrival of the train with its precious cargo, nothing could be seen but a sea cf faces. While there .7 as a large number of patrolmen detailed to keep the crowd from the railroad tracks. It was a task Impossible to perform. The police did all they could.tut the crowd was too great, and de termined to '. get a look at the ration's chief magistrate, at any sacrifice of their own safe;y It was tight minutes to eleven o'clock when the sound of cannon tifcnaled that the national train tad crowed the "Belt" and the President and his noble wife were within the portals of the Hoosier capital for the first time. Within the next two cr three minutes the Lake Erie & Western and Slonon excursion trains passed, crowded with people that had traveled miles to see the first Democratic president in a quarter of a century. As each of these trains came In s!ght many thought it was the train they were looking for and many a hearty cheer went up in vain. But the suspense did not last long, for at two min utes before 11 o'clock the great, glistening en gine that shone with newness, steamed si jwly tip to the landing place. The train had been switched from the Panhandle to the Union tracks and transferred to the Bee Llne.by which it reached its destination. The first person seen aa the train slowly moved in was the graceful figure of Cnlted States Marshal Haw kins. lie was standing In the first door of the forward car. Two colored valet were oa the platform. Aa the train began to slow up, Marshal Hawkins stepped aside and then the mul titude got; the first gi!mpe of President Cleveland, when cheer after cheer went up, and !the TOlcea of the old and young joined In one common shout of welcome to the President and his party. M r. Cleveland was standing near the door and with his usual promptness, was ready to alight Hii neat fitting black Prince Albert, was but toned and he wore a black silk hat He waited to the pleasure of the reception com' mitte. Aa be stood there, erect ai a statue, he glanced casually at the great throng of people, and as ha did so a bright twinkle crossed his eye and a alight smile crept over hlscoanten Mice, which, plainly indicated that he waa pleased with the gree tlx g that was awaiting Um. TheTcarriageahadlbeen la position for some time, and as soon as possfole Marshal Hawkins escorted ez-Beaator McDonald and Mayor Denny to the car,andpuented them to the President nl;Jlrs. Cleveland. While this formality was being attended to, the Presidential carriage, drawn oy eight handsome gray roadsters, was driven as sear the car steps aa possible and a piece of wooden matting waa laid down to enable the party to reaca the carriages without stepping in the mud. Mayor Denny was the first to descend the car Step, followed by President Cleveland, and as they alighted the President took Mayor Dcnny'e ana. Mrs. Cleveland was just behind her has band, and Senator McDonald was next to her, aad whenlthey had stepped off the car platform the Preslden fa wife took the arm of Senator McDonald, and amid the tumultuous applause of the admiring hosts that surrounded C-em they were acated la their carriage. Presu t and Mrs. Cleveland occupying the i eat and Senator McDonald the seat directly
front of the President, Mayor Denny was here separatedCfrom the party and toos: a seat In the carriages with Senators Voorhees, and Turpie and President Pratt, ot the Board of Trade. Mr. Mr. W. S.lBisrell the former law partner of the President, and Dr. Bryant, an Intimate friend of the President's family, were next escorted to a carriage, being seated with Hon. W. H, English and ex-Gor. Toner. Following these gentlemen, came CoL Lamont, the private secretary of the President. As be stood upon the car steps, waiting to be transferred to a carriage, his aalurn xaustasche glistening In the light, a Sentinel reporter asked him: "How has the President enjoyed his trip and what does he think of the West!" "Oh, he always enjoys himself." replied Cel-
onel Lamont, "and he Is perfectly delighted with the We6t and the Western people. This la a trip that he has long vanted to take, bat an til now it has been almost impossible for him to do so." Mr. Lamont was Riven a seat In the carriage with Senator Harrison, Judge Niblack and Judge Elliott. The President's valets and Mrs. Cleveland's maid remained In the car. The first sight the people had of Mrs. Cleveland waa when she stepped on the car platform with Senator McDonald. Her bright face beamed with radiant smiles, and she at once won the admiration of every body and there seemed to be fully as great a desire to see her as the President She held in her r ight hand a pretty bouquet of choice flowers, and two or three times she waved it gently at the people and smiled, and they generously responded with their plaudits. She was the admired of alL "What a lovely woman!" What a perfect type of American beauty!" "An ideal American w oman." "We should be proud to have such a woman for the first lady In the land." "She will be worth thoasacds of votes to the President If he runs again," and a score of other and equally; complimentary remarks could be heard of her upon every aide as she waa driven through the crowd. PRESIDENTIAL PROCESSION. The Imposing Parade on Washington St, Street to the Stat House. The procession had been forming during the wait tor the train, solthat when the guests arrived ail that remained was to seat them in carriages and start Grand Marshal Knefler had all the details well In hand, as he always does on occasions of this kind, and there waa not a single hitch in the programme. Aa soon as United States Marshal Hawkins gave the signal that all was ready the procession moved amid the repeated outbursts cf applause and shouts of welcome from the thousands of people who had just been gTanted an opportunity to see their nation's foremost citizen. The order of the procession was as follows: Squadron Mounted Pollce.conimanded by Chief Travis. Mounted escort, under J. M. Paver, assistant marshal Major Irvin Robbius ana Major W. II. CalkioB.

As the procession moved west on Its way to the Bute House, it was met at every step with .he same unbounded enthusiasm that marked its statt. The sidewalks were crowded with i en, women and children, packed just as close ly together as possible all along the line of march. At the street crossings the crowds ex tended back for a square or more. At the cor ner of Delaware and Washington afreets there 8 a particularly larger crowd and It extended jcrth cn Deleware considerably beyoni Marke rtieet From every window in every building there could be seea from three to half a dozea per wnf, all craning their necks to get a look at Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland. Look where they would, high or low, to the left or to the right, the front or to the rear, the honored guests irere met everywhere with a sea of smiling Faces that Indicated a hearty and unanimous welcome. The most Interesting incident that occurred oetween the train and the Capitol was when the oarriages Beared the Court House. Senator J McDonald said something to Mrs. Cleveland and me looked up and saw the Court-house lot Ailed with school children. She at once aiose ind remained stsndlng until the carriage had -eached the next square. The children shouted nd threw kisses and flowers toward her and ponded with her graceful bows and winning miles. It was a magnflcent tribute to the PresI ent's wife, and It was a compliment to the uoyant young hearts that received her that ill remain with them in memory for a life I me. The idea that the first lady of the land hould rise and so tastefully acknowledge their olsy and childish greeting will ever remain a acred incident to every child that caught sight f Mrs. Cleveland's happ expression as she evkwed the great mass of little ones all hud lledftogf ther In a single square, that they might ay wlth pride In after years that they ad seen her and her honored husband. The march proceeded without further tncideut o the State House. Constant rounds of applause rectcd the President as he passed and the beers were especially enthusiastic at the coretpf Washington and Illinois strata, There
waa no delay to apeak of at any time and the ' procession reached the Washington entrance to the State House on time, where the party was
escorted to the steps ot the CapltoL SPEECH-MAKING AT THE CAPITOL. Got ens or Gray Formally Welcomes ; the President, TV ho Responds in Happy Terms. The vast throng which filled the street and sidewalks In front of the Capitol gave notice of the approach of the Presidential party at 11:30 o'clock. Applause and cheers filled the air and a scene ot commotion, such as seldom witnessed in this city, followed. The police and military were clearing the way. and the crowd. anxious to get a glimp of tha President pushed forward, eager to get within seeing and hearing distance. Before the procession proper, however,? eached the entrance to the State Home grounds, the throng f n the streets had been forced back to and upon the sidewalks, so that the members of the party were visible to almost every one as they left their carriages and marched to the stand immediately in front of the Canitol bulldiner. In side the grounds at least thirty-thousand people had assembled and the English and Ross guards, whose members patrolled the walk leading to the entrance of the State House, found great difficulty in keeping the people back. The arrival of the police, however, aided them materially.and when those, followed by the Light Infantry, took positions on either side of the walk, a passage way perhaps thirty feet wide was soon secured. The Hendricks Club then took lu position forming a hollow square, through hlch the President leaning oa toe arm of Mayor C S. Denny passed. Then came Mrs. Cleveland escorted by ExSenator McDonald, Emilie g pleasantly and. carrying in her left hand a beautiful bouquet the gift of some admiring friend. Followirg these were Senators Voorhees and Turpie. Gen. Bea. Harrison and CoL Lamont Ex-Governor Porter, W. H. English, Mr. Bissell, Dr. Bryant Congressman Matson, and others. When the President reached the steps, he was met by Governor Gray and escorted to the stand. where a number of ladies had taken seats, among whom were Mrs. I. P. Gray, Mrs. Mc Doc aid, Mrs. Eynum, Mrs. Pierre Gray, Mrs. Fred Knefler, Mrs. By ram and Mrs. James McLeod, who at once surrounded Mrs. Cleveland. For a few minutes a lively conversation in subdued tones ensued. Mrs. Cleveland wore a myrtle green traveling dress, trimmed with black braid. At her neck dangled a little diamond horseshoe, but beyond this she wore no jewels. The President sat immediately in font other to the left of Governor Gray. He seemed some what fatigued, but surveyed the vast throng la front of the stand with deep Interest After the lapse of several minutes, during which the gentlemen composing the reception committee came upon the stand and took seats. Governor Gray arose, and addressing the Presi dent who arose with him, laid: GOVERNOR GRAY'S WELCOME ADDRESS. President Cleveland: in behalf of the people of Indiana. I greet you, bidding you welcome to me state ana its c apital. Be assured that the exhibition of pop ular interest evidenced by tais large assemblage of our citizens is a manifestation of respect for you not less than for the magistrate.

To you. Mr. President as the guest of Indiana, and in behalf of her two and a half million of citizens. 1 8gain bid yoa thrice welcome to the titate and the hospitalities oi its capital. As the Governor concluded the President ad vanced and was received with an outburst of cheers. He began speaking at once and In a moment the utmost quiet reijned throughout the 80,000 people who stood before him. He spoke .distinctly and slowly. The speech was largely extemporaneousjmany of the facts in corporated in it having been given him by Mayor Dcnpy alter the party left the train, and from data furnished by General T. A. aiorris. Hla reference to Governor Hendricks was Tcry happily said and was repeatedly applauded, PBrSIDEXT CLEVILAKD'S RESIOXSE. Governor, and Fellow-CItlzens ot Indiana. When I received the hearty Invitation from the people of Indianapolis and through their Governor the invitation of the people ot Ind lana, to itop upon my travel and see them and their capital ciiy. I was not long In determining that my road should lead me this way; and lam siDCerely glad that I have the opportunity afforded by my short sojourn here, to view the goodly proportions of your thriving and pros perous city. i ne people ot Indiana nave much cause tor congratulation in their varied proiacts in their public educational advantages, la their charitable iu6tltutlons and in all tnatlontrlb utes to make a growing and great city. Bat It seems to me that not tne least cause ot an ind ianan's pride should be his state capital. Set tled in Lsl9. one year thereafter its population numbered fifteen families. Chosen as tue seat of government in 1821 it was about that time laid out into a town and received itspresint name. Though not incorporated until 13,i6 and receiving lu city coarter only in 1817, forty years has given you this city oi luu.ojuor up ward ot Inhabitants, and of the businlss enter prise, and the features wticb make a prosoerous American city, l tnau not aweii in a nan upon the features of your city which are dully under vour own observation. An old resident tells me that your State capital may be reached direct ly by railroad irom every county in ineaiaie but two; and it seems to me the people tbat reside here must be very active and restles or very roci al, or both, for I am sure yju will nod that Indusapons has more miies oi street railway than akir other cltr in the United btatci. I must not omit to congratulate the people of Indiana and Indianapolis npoi a careiai ana economical administration of the onbUfl affilr. One proof ot It sow beauUfiesour capital fori
am told that your handsome,spaclous 8tate Hall just completed, was actually built within its
limit ot expenscoriginally nxed. in these days of waste and extravagance and of miscalcula tion in regard to public buildings, tnis U a thing so unusual that it should be a cause for your congratulation. So far as your cit y Is con cerned, it nas been lately reported as naving the lowest tax rate upon its valuation of any city in the United 8tatea except two. l am very mncb Impressed at this moment by another thought connected with your city, Its suggestion cannot fall to awaken in your minds afiectionate sentiments, and its subject attracts the regard and Interest of the whole people to this place, in this place tnere lived and died a man, your neighbor ana yoar iriena, wnose same was a household word throughout the na tion, naving the respect and confidence of his fellow countrymen and Invested by them with the highest civic trusts, a loyal, true son of In diana, amid all his honors he never forgot his leiiow-ciuzena or trie stave, nor nis leiiow-towns-men of Indianarolls; and while he loved yon well, he brought honor to you by a faithful per formance of the functions oi men public oinse and by a firm adherence land devotion to patriotic princi plea. All will j oin you in a tender respect for his memory and kindly, tender thoughts of the whole people win be directed to this city, as the place where lived and died your distinguished feller- townsman, and where his remains rest amid the surroundings he so much enjoyed, it la therefore eratnvine to me to meet yoa to-day, not only as fellow-citlzsns of Indiana and Indianapolis, but to greet you aa tne friends and neighbors of the man. honored by the nation and connectedvith me, by tbejiies of friendship, by the fortunes of political life and in the discharge of public duty. (Applause) At the conclusion of the address, the President and Mrs. Cleveland were escorted to the Gov ernor's reception rooms. During the time necessary for the opening of the State House for the reception of the distinguished guests and the people. Mr. Cleveland was surrounded Iby the gentlemen and ladies on the platform, while an enthusiast In the crowd called for three cheers, which were given with a will. TBE RECEPTIOX.PROPER. Formal Introduction of the Guests to Iudiana Statesmen aad Local Committees. At the conclusion of the speechaitha ,Preiident and Mrs. Cleveland, together with other occupants of the 'stand, were escorted to"' the Governor's reception room and the doors of the capitol were closed for a period of ten minutes.

Especially Is thla;:trae ot the floral display, the extent and variety of which gave so much room for artistic arrangement The Governor's parlor was beautified;!with a profusion of flowers and plants, cleverlyj arranged on top of and around the mantel piece, ferns and palms, csllas of different kinds, red magnolias, large scarlet sage, geraniums and other plants and flowers being Interspersed together. On the wall over the mantelpiece, hung a portrait in oil ot Gov. Griy. It was taken some ten years ago, before the locks of the Governor had begun to take on a silvery hue, but for all that the likeness Is excellent Oa the other side of the wall were hung portraits of Governors Baker, Hendricks and Morton. All are painted In a sitting posture. Gov. Baker having a letter In his band and Gov. Hendricks holding a paper in his. Gov. Morton is represented In the act of holding up the palm of his hand as if to com mand silence. On the south wall of the parlor was hung the banner on which was the emblematic seal of the State of Indiana. "What a beautiful room:" exclaimei Mrs. Cleveland as she stood by the side of Governor Gray and glanced admiringly around. "I have never seen anything prettier," ahe aided la aa artless, unaffected manner. The Governor made a pleasant rejoinder to these compliments, and than began introducing the ladies and gentlemen present to the President and his wife. Besides the ladles who were to assist Mrs. Cleveland and who were formally presented, were the Unltad SUteeSeoators.tho Judges of the Supreme Court, the State officers, meenberäot Congress and many prominent Indianapolltans. The President bowed kindly and shook hands cordially with all. while Mrs. Cleveland did Use wise smilingly and aiding a brijht remark whenever the opportunity offered. Mrs. Cleveland greeted ISeuator Harrison as aa old friend, and the 'two .chattel la a lively manner for several minutes. Finally the party were in raadiness to go to the rotunda anl the doors leading from the Governor's parlor were thrown open and the distinguished people made their exit in much ;the same manner as they had entered, going at once to the stand prepared tor them. The rotunda was decorated profsuely with large p&ladium leaves, calla lilies, castus plants, ferns, and a most Infinite variety of other plants and flowers, flags, festoons, and other ornamentations. The rostrum was of an octagonal shape with an additional place at the front end, where a stand was placed for the use of the rresident and Mrs, Clovelazl. A red and a green plush chair were placed in that end for the use of the President and lady. Oa either side were placed three cane chairs two leather chairs were at the other end, and In the center was placed a narrow colored tplush di van. Mrs. Cleveland was attirod in "a light myrtle green broadcloth traveling suit, elaborately.but tastefully trimmed in black braid. Her bone et was of the same material, close fitting, and trimmed in dark green with a brown pompom at the top. Her only ornaments was a diamoud horseshoe at the throat She wore light tan colored gloves. Mrs. Governor Gray wore a black satin and cut jet, a 'bonnet ot steel gray color.

Her tonnet waa of moss green with pink tips, At the. front of the stand stood the President, with the Governor at his right, Mrs. Cleveland at hi left and Senator McDonald at her left The other members of the party. Including the ladle, had positions In the rev. When the main doors of the building were throwa open, the military and Duckworth, Jefferson and Hendricks Clubs were first ad mitted, and formed lines on either tide. Then the crowd was allowed to enter six abreast ad rancing la that order to the stand and there dividing Into threes, turning to right aad left, rbis was the way they started, but ultimately the jam became so great, that eight acd ten entered abresst. The crowd was handled with the greatest ease and despatch thanks to General Knefler and Colonel Buckle and not the least delay was allowed to occur at any time. The President stood, throughout the reception, bo ring kindly to the right and left and occasionally exchanging a nod as if in recog oltion of rome one. Mrs. Cleveland tt first occupied a chsir, somewhat elevated, snd greeted all comers with a perpetual and pleasing smile, which made a staunch f rleud of everybody who came in sight of her. Now and ben some handsome flowers were handed to icr, or thrown at her feet, and the donors doubtess felt amply rewarded by the smiles anl :raccful nods with which their tributes were eceived. The crowd represented all classes of society ot the least conspicuous of whom wai the typical Hoosier, who does aotbing by halves, aal
who was In his element, embracing the opportunity to see the President and his wile. Occasionally some man or woman would get past the guards and near enough to extend his or her hand to the President or Mrs. Cleveland. Notwithstanding the arduousne&a of the task both Mr. ana Mrs Clevsnd received all overtures of this kind pleasantly, and took the outstretched hands. A strongly built matron, apparently ncaring her three score and ten, but well preserved, created a slight commotion by her persistent efforts to get; within hand-shaking distance of the President. "Move on," commanded the guard on the right, gently pushing the old lady. She wouldn't move on, but persisted in breaking the line and remaining in that vicinity. "I have come all the way from Cincinnati to see the President," she shouted, "and I'm going to shake hands with him." Judge Kiblack's attention was drawn to her, and he kindly drew her aside, saying he would provide for her. In answer to the Judge's questions, the old lady said, with fixed dcterminttion marked on every lineament: "I am not going to leave here until I shake hands with Mr. Cleveland." "And what is your name, pray?" said the Judge pleasantly. "Banks, Mrs. Banks, of Cincinnati," she replied. "I am Murat Halstead's mother-in-law. When he married my daughter, he was as good a Democrat as I am, but now he is a Republican. I shan't go home until I shake' hands with President Clevelaad if I have to folow him to 8t Louis." "You shall shake hands with him," rejoinel Judge Ki black and taking the old lady by the arm he politely escorted her to the'sUnl.where United States Marshal Hawkins provide 1 a seat in a secluded corner. "Now, sit hera," sail the
Judge, "and you will get to shake hands with the President She waited patiently as In structed and her heart's wish was gratlfiei. It is estimated tbat fully 41,003 pjople ptssed through the building, and not an incident or accident occur-e u mar the pleasure of the event. Shortly 'efre 2 o'clock it became necessary to close ,xm doors, preparatory to the visit of the PrecWi ial party to the residences of Mrs. Henricks mu Senator McDonald. Thou sands of people w'to were in line outside falle 3, therefore, to secure admission. After the crowd had surged through the building, the party were invited Iby Governor Gray to visit the House of Representatives and Senate Chamber on the second floor. President Cleveland, leaning upon the arm of Governor Gray, followed by Mrs. Cleveland and Mr. John P. Frenzel, Mr. Lamont and Mr. N. 8. By ram, Mr. Bissell, Ex-Governo: Porter and and Ex-Governor Bishop, of Ohio, entered the elevator and were escorted to the Legislative halls la the order named. Mr. Cleveland had previous ly expressed a desire to see tbe Senate Chamber and House ol Representatives. He appeared to be favorably impressed with the appeatauce of the rooms, and It was noticed that he talked to the Governor aside in reference to them. Mrs. Cleveland ex pressed herself as much pleased with the looks cf the building throughout They then left the building and took their carriages lor the short ride to Mrs. Hendricks' residence. AT MRS HEmmiCK'S RESIDENCE. A. Pleasant Call Upon the Widow of the Late Vice-President. Shortly before the arrival of the Presidential party at the Hendrick'shome, theSentinal repre sentative, in company with Congressman Matson and Hon. Ed. Henderson, were admitted to the residence-. Mrs. Hendricks, dresses In handsome black silk, en trame, with crape front, received them in the parlor, where the time was pleasantly whiled away until the ar rival of the distinguished callers. As the Presidential party came in sight, Mrs. Hendricks ap pearod at the door, and, as the President walk. mg with Governor LG ray, and Mrs. Cleveland leaning on the arm of Mr. John P. Frenz si, came upon the steps, she gave them a c jrdlal greeting. "I am glad to see you," she sail, as she ex tended her hand and led the way to the ptrlor. Within stood Judge Niblack, of the Supreme Court, Congressman Matson, Mr. S. W. M irgan, Mr. Henderson and Marshal Hawkins. The re ception was quite format The little company at once entered into conversation, the Presl dent, Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs, Hendricks chat ting pleasantly f or a period of six minutes, when the president led by Judge Niblack and follow ed by the gentlemen present was escorted to tunch. While the gentJmen thus regaled them selves Mrs. Cleveland and her hostess partook of a l'ght collation la '.the back parlor, Mrs. Cleveland remarking that she was not accustomed to traveling, and that she wou'd be delighted with a cup of coffee. She drank no wine, tut sipped her coffee from a large china cap. which had been usel by Mr. Bendricks. The lacies. left to themselves, dis cussed entrrtalalngly upon the topic? of the day, and were only interrupted by the return of the other paesU. A few min itcs more of social intercourse and the party withdrew, although is was apparent that Mr. Cleveland, if left to his own iacliaa tlons, wasdispowd toproloDg his visit, which, as he remarked to a friend, wr-smost delightful. After the Presidential pnrtyhad withdrawn Mrs. Hendricks conversed pleasantly with the representatives of the press present. Of Mr. Cleveland, she said: 'Hz is much younger than I thought, and his appearance pleased me much." Then passing to Mrs. Cleveland, In answer to a remark interposed by one of tho group, she said : "Mrs. Cleveland Is a more companionable wo man than I bad been led to believe. I mean she is vivacious aud has the brightness of youth, yet is sensible and womanly beyond common. You know this Is the first time I have met her. She is starting out ia life with Mr. Cleveland just as I did with Mr. Hendricks." Then, reverting to the conversation between herself and Mjs. Cleveland, she continued: "Mrs. Cleveland is a delightful conversation alif t and wholly original. I think her abilities above tbe average. She seemed well pleased with her visit, and I know Mr. Cleveland was." "We are all sure of that," interposed Judge Niblack, and Congressman Matson endorsed tbe remark by addinr, "They couldn't have been treated more cordially, and I know they were thoroughly delighted with their reception," Mis. Hendricks was not assisted by any ladies. She received the President and his wife as private callers. Indeed their visit was at the suggestion of Mr. Cleveland himself who, on accepting the invitation of the Board of Trade and Citizens' Committee, suggested that he would be pleased to visit Mrs. Hendricks in her own borne. For this. reason there was no display, and none butihe few persons named were present during the time that the distinguished callers were at tbe Hendricks mansion, "Did Mr. Cleveland express himself with regard to his public reception?" was asked. "Oh, yes. He said it had more than met his expectations, and he was agreeably surprised at the excellent order maintained." Referring to his trip, he said he did not know whether he could stand the strain, as he had three weeks before him, and ere that time ran out he would be pretty well exhausted. A CALL AT TUEMcDOXALD MAXilOX. Che Fx.Sinator ard Tflfe Enterinln the Parry in n Cluriuiog Manner. The reception given the Presllent and Mrs. Cleveland by Fx-Senator and Mrs. McDonald at their elegant mldenoe on Ncrth Meridian dreet was exceedingly pleasant and interesting. When the Presidential party and the rest of the proa siioa had arrived there from Mrs. Hea drlcks' home, the McDonald residence was surrounded by people who had not yet seen Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland. They were princi pally ladies and children who live near there, and
who preferred to wait there, rather than take their chances in the crowd down town.
In the drive to the residence ot Mr. McDenald the carriages were occupied as follows: t President J. P. Frenzel, Mrs. Clevelaad. n. Governor Gray, Judge Mitchell, S. P. Sheerin, Judge Zollars. m. Fd. Hawkins, D. W. Voorhees, C. 8. Denny, D. Turpie. IV. Mr. Bryant A. G. Porter, Mr. Bisbell, W. U. English, V. Lamont B. K. Elliott. Ben Harrison, Wm.E. Niblack. J.F.Pratt, T' V.T. Malott, K. S. Byram. vn. A. W. Conduitt United Press, Albert Gall, Associated Press Upon their arrival there Marshal Hawkins assisted Mrs, Cleveland to alight from the carriage and escorted her aad the President on the carpeted walk to the front door, where Senator and Mrs, McDonald stood fn waiting to receive them, as soon as they were ushered into the parlor and Introduced to several ladies, they were invited to luncheon. A table was set In the dinin room where President and Mrs. Cleveland, Governor and Mrs. Gray and ex-Senator and Mrs. Mc Donald were seated. The other guests were served in the parlors. The menu was as follows : Chicken Croquettes with Sweet Breads. Saratoga Chips. French Peas. Light Rolls and Coffee. Chicken Salad. Olives. ElscklBresd. Ice Cream. Ice Cream Cake. French Blook Cake. Roman Punch. Fruits. When the luncheon was over the President aDd wife were escortel to the parlors where a -oramittee from the W. C. T, TJ. consisting of Mr?. K. Loftio, Mrs. Georgia Wright and Mrs. J. R. fcudd, were in waiting to present Mrs. Cleveland a floral offering.. Mrs. Lor tin spoke as follows: Mrs. Cleveland : We take preat pleasure In prepenting you this offering, as we are confident that you have a hish appreciation of toe efforts of the W. C. T. U. ia the temperance cause. Mrs. Cleveland was taken by surprise and siraply replied: "Ladles, I can only thank you," The design was a platter 10 by IS inches in size made of tube-roses and rose-buds, and a goblet of usual size made of the same turned upside down. The Y, L. C. T. U. also presented Mrs. Cleveland a basket of handsome Cowers. Both offerings were sent to the President's car. The party did not tarry long after luncheon ; ia fact neither the President nor Mrs. Cleveland afterward took a 6eat Mrs. Cleveland stood for a moment aad chattel wllb a coterie of la lies while the President was ontertainel by Mrs. McDonald, who never looked more charming. When Marshall Hawkins came ia and announced that they were several minutes late Fresident Cleveland said: "WelL then we will have to make a start" Mrs, Cleveland took the President's arm and la a moment the party was again oa the go. Mrs. Cleveland shook hands with nearly all the ladies and bade them farewell la her usual pleasant manner. Senator McDonald again took his position in tbe carriage with the President and wife, and the Presidential party proceeded to take a last view of Indiana's capital city, DEPARTURE FOR THE WEsT. Tho Final Parade From, Senator McDonald's Residence to the Union Station. As the Presidential party was about half aa hour late in leaving Senator McDonald's residence, the procession marched directly a?ross to Pennsylvania street, thenco south to Wash ington, thence west to Meridian and thence south to the depot The President's carriage, was received everywhere with the time enthusiastic demonstratio as that greeted Its appearance- earlier in the day and there were just as many peop'.e on the streets to see him as there were to greet him when he arrived. The people of the city were out en masse, and fn all probability every county in the State was represented. The procession proceeded without incident to the res idence of Governor Gray. where it was partially reorganized. The divisions ou foot that retired from the procession alter leavIng.Mrs.TIendTLjk.'8 house, again joined it here. The Duckworth Club made a particularly fine appearance from this point to the depot and was much admired. Undoubtedly there never were as many people on South Meridian street before as were there last night to bll the President and wile a farewell, and God speed. When the President's carriage arrived at tho deiOt the crowd was so great that it wis with some difficulty that the distinguished guests reached the entrance to the private car. B it the people willingly made way, and the party got aboard without serious trouble. The matting was sgain used here. Senator McDonald and Mrs. Cleveland were the first to aäeead the car steps. Thf y were followed by the President and Mr. Bissell and a moment later Colonel Lamont, Dr. Bryant and Senator Voorhees, who accompanied the party as far as Ter re Haute, were aboard also. Senator McDonald and Marshal Hawkins were the last to leave the car and as soon as the members of the party were comfortably seated, Mr. H. K. Elliott Division Superintendent of the VardaliA, gave the signal to go, and at 3:35 o'clock tbe e'egant train bearing the nation's nonored freight moved out of the West end of the Union Depot.and sped oa to another recep tion.
