A Soldiers? Monument. The corner stone of then Idiana soldiers' and sailors' monument was laid as Indian apolis. Ind, with imposing ceremonies in the presence of the president of the United States. Many men of prominence of the United States and thouoands of veteran Boldters and sailors were present. The city was aflame with color in honor of the occasion. The exercises of the day be~ gan at 2 o'clock, when the parade formed and began its march through the principal streets. It was made up of various posts of the G. A. R. throughout the state, and the state militia and local civic organizations. It is estimated that 8,000 were in line. It was nearly 3 o'clock when the head of the procession reached the monument. All the 6f.reeta surrounding it were packed with people, all anxious to catch a glimpse of the president and other promi nent personages who appeared on the speak ers' stand, and to witness the ceremonies. As the president was recogaizedon the stand he was erreeted with a cheer, which he acknowledged with a slight bow. The crowd watched in silence the laying of the corner stone by Charles M. Travis, deputy commander of the Indiana department, G. A. R. The documents were consigned to their restine place, and then the stone was placed In position in accordance with the ritual of the G. A.

The committee on permanent organization reported the name of N. M. Johnson of Nelson for chairman, and the Tyler men nominated E. A. Williams. Atter a great deal of filibustering the vote was taken amidst the greatest excitement, and resulted the election of Johnson by a vote ot 131 to 13a This was theto first decisive victory for the Miller men.

"', At the conclusion of the iatter's address President Harrison was introduced to the assemblage, and after the applause which greeted him had ended, he spoke as follows: There have been few occasions in the history of oar state so full ot interest, so magnificent,so inspiring, as that which we now witness. The suggestion that a monument should toebuilded to commemorate the valor and heroism of those soldiers of Indiana who crave their lives for the flag attracted my interest from the beginning. Five years ago last January,when the people as sembled in the opera house yonder to unveil the statue which had been worthily set up to our great war governor, I ventured to express the hope that near by It, as a twin expression of one great sentiment, there might be bnilded a noble shaft, not to am? man, not to bear on any of its majestic faces the name of a man, bnt a monument about which the Sons of Veterans, the mothers of our dead, the widows that are yet with us. might gather and pointing to the stately shaft say: "There Is his monument." The hope expressed that day is realized now. My countrymen, $200,000 has never passed and will never pass, from the treasury of Indiana that will give.a better return tdan the expendi ture for the erection ot this monument. This is a monument of Indiana to In diana soldiers. Bnt I beg yon to remem ber thut they were only soldiers of Indiana until the enlistment of which was taken: that from that hour rntll they came back to the generous state that had sent them forth they were soldiers of the Union. No Amer ican citizen need avoid it or pass-it with unsym pathetic eyes, for, my countrymen, it does not commemorate a war of subjugation. There is •ot in-che United States to-day a man who, if he realizes what has occurred sinee the war. and has opened bis soul to the sight of that which come, who will not feet that it is good all of our people that victorw crowned the cause which this monument] commemorates. I do seriously believe that, if we can measure among the'states the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, that the rebellious states have the larger share, It destroyed an institution that was their de struction. It opened the wav for a commercial life that if thev will only embrace it and face1 the light means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our states. I have felt lifted up by this occasion. It seems to me that our spirits have been borne up to meet those of the dead and glorified, and that irom this place we shall eo to our homes more resolutely set in our purposes as citizens to con serve the peace and welfare of our neighbor hoods, to hold up the dignity and honor of our live institutions, and to see that no harm shall come to our country, whether fiom international dissensions or from the aggressions of a foreign The address was interrupted bv frequent applause.

Vernon Anson advanced to the foot lights and offered a prayer. Then Gen. Ma hone commenced his address amidst loud cheers. He accused the Democrats of over taxing the masses, swindling the voters driving capital out of the state, taking away the chastity ot females in insane asylums and being utterly unable to deal with the *)lic debt question. Among the utterances in Gen. Mahone's address were these: In ten vears the party has grown in numbers from 84,000 votes cast for Gen. Garfield in 1880 151,000 grudgingly oonceded by our Dem ocratic friends for Gen. Harrison in 188a There is no fair-minded man in the state who does not believe that vou polled a majority of the votes cast at the late presidential election. It is of record that even in two of our ten con gressional districts of the state there were in line when the polls closed more than twice as many Republican voters as the beggarly ma jority bv which the electoral voteof the state was taken, who bv the discieputable conduct of the Democratic managers had not been allowed to deposit their ballots.
