It is a place where people have money to spend. [Applause.] When we left off having money to spend, in just that proportion we left off being a market. Cheapness without a cent of money In your pocket to buy with is bitterness to the soul.” Speaking of the statement of a Democratic tPftper that cotton cloth Is a cent cheaper than a year ago, Mr. Reed said that might bo; that the men who madtthat cloth get their cloth 10 per cheaper, bnt have lost 23 per cent, on their wages.

A mob had already gathered, and Sheriff Cook, fearing troule, called local militia for assistance. Thfswction seemed to increase the 'frenzy of trio mob, and Gov. McKinley was appealed to for more troops, which were at once sent on from Columbus', (While Dolby was being taken from the jail to tho court house tho mob (made a desperato attempt to secure the prisoner, but were driven off by bayonets (and clubbed guns. After the sentence the mob gathered-around the courthouse and ft was impossible to take the prisoner out to the train. The mob grew rapidly in numbers and desperation. Col.

BENJAMIN'S TOUR.

Harrison’s Trip Through Northern Indiana. Bwpetitioir of th* Cordial Greeting* to the EiFreiidtot—Republican EnthuiiMm —Notes and Incident#, ' General Harrison and party left Indianapolis, Friday morning, on his second speech-making tour, Jthe objective being Ft. Wayne. The "weather was extremely favorable and continued so throughout the trip. The first stop was made at Noblesville. Tho town was alive to the importance of the occasion and was profusely decorated. A stand had been which Mr. Harrison addressed a crowd of at least 3.0.40. At Cicero a short stop was made, a committee having been sent from that small town, especially to arrange with the State committee for a short speech. A good crowd listened to Gen. Harrison’s remarks. At Arcadia the train slowed up only, and Gen. Harrison stood on the car platform and acknowlsdged the cheers of the assembled people. At Tipton the speech was mado at the railroad junction. Mr. Swoveland escorted the distinguished speaker to the stand, about which a crowd estimated at 3,G00 had gathered. Gen. Harrison's speech was brief. Among other.thiugs he said: ,‘lWe have had hard times aud the hardness has touched every one. The capitalist who had money invested in stocks and bonds has found their value enormously shrunk. His interest has been defaulted, his checks have been passed and bis wealth greatly curtailed. The manufacturer who depended upon the profit of his mill has been without profit. He has attempted to save himself from loss by shutting down the mill and putting out the fires. He has been contented to lose tho interest on the investment in his plant. The workingman, whose entire support of his wife and children and his own maintenance was in his daily wages, has found it all swept away, and he has been fortunate if he had a little ;store to tide him over. Many a stalwart, honest, hard-working, independent Ameridan workman has been compelled to appeal to his fellow men for help—a thing he never did before. This condition has come upon us following a period of the highest prosperity, and the beginning of it was coincident in time with the success of the Democratic party. This has nothing to with the question of who is President; it isnot a question of wboyourßongressman is, much less is it a question ol who your grocer is. It is a question of the principles and policies of the party that is in control of the gouernment.”

At the conclusion of the address, which was well received, the train left immediately for Kokomo, where a tremondou* outpouring of people awaited his arrival. The exercises of the day were held in the public sqnare, which was a surging mass of enthusiastic Republicans. At the conclusion of the address the Harrison special train was at once switched off onto the Clover Leaf and left for Marlon, where It was met by a crowd of 10,003. The reception at this point was said ta have been remarkable. At 2:C6 the departure was made from Marion after the (isuai address by the ex-Prosident, Hon. A. C. Harris being left behind to entertain the vast assemblage. Stops were made fit Warren, Bluffton and Decatur and Ft. Wayne was reached on schedule time. (Competent critics estimate that General Ilarrison addressed 30,000 people bn Friday en route. At Fori Wayne a vast meeting occurred Friday flight and Mr. Harrison made a set speech bf great length, exhaustively discussing the questions at Issue. In conclusion he feaid:

L Are we to elect a new Democratic Coni cress to succeed this one? Are we to say that we like this condition of uncertainty find unrest? If you choose a Democratic Congress, I should think that is what you like. But if you would put an end to It, Vouslvuld say: “Gentlemen, vou have Sailed, and at a great cost to the country.” If you feel that way you will elect a Republican Congress in November that wili lnake tiie end of the bad business; thai Will bring to an end this raid upon American industries. A Republican House ol Representatives cannot do much, as there !will be a Democratic Senate and a Democratic President. They will not be able tc pass a new tariff bill, but the country will understand that this war is not to be renewed. I should think that many a Democrat might fall into that way ol thiukiug now,and say: “I will see about It (two years from now, when the great campaign is on. but for the present I am willing there should be a Republican House pf Representatives, in order that there shall be an end to this fearful business apprehension and uncertainty.” These issues are in your hands; they iare worthy of your, calmest, fullest and most intelligent thought. Every man who hears me and believes these things should hestir himself to bring about a result this fall that will be notice to all that the people mean to resume business in this conn try. ■ The return trip,- Saturday, was by way of Larweil, Columbia City. Warsaw, Plymouth, Rochester. Peru. Logansport, Delphi, Lafayette and Lebanon, at all ol which places Gen. Harrison addressed large crowds, and the scenes were but a repetition of the previous day’s programme. Notwithstanding the extra stops, the train arrived at Indianapolis on schedule time at 7:20. Gen. Harrison was driven at once to his home. Though very much fatigued, he was by no means exhausted with his remarkable day’s work, and his last speech at Lebanon was fully as vigorous as tho first one at Noblesville.

HILL’S CANVASS.

Senator Hill spoke at Rochester, N. Y., Thursday evening, to a large and enthusiastic audience. He referred to Cleveland as “our patriotic President,” and the sentiment was lou ily cheered. In the course of his remarks he deprecated the personalities of the present campaign, and said he had hoped to discuss the real issues at stake. In concluding, he said: “I know that throughout this State onr Republican friends do not seem to take that view of their duty. Ido not propose to imitate their example. [Applause.] I have not time to notice every political log that baiflis at me in this campaign. 1 propose to present to yon as fairly and as emphatically as I can what I regard as the issues upon which we are to pass, and whether yon agree or disagree with me it makes no difference, you will hear me for the sake of my cause.” There Is much excitement at Victoria, Mexico, over the assassination of Andreas 3alazar, the son of a prominent and. wealthy merchant of that place, by Gregorio Porras, a well known young man. The deed was done with a stiletto. Sal*-, tar was stabbed through the heart. Jealousy was the cause.
