WERSTER'S ADDRESS, Mr. Webster was introducea by Mayor #roateh, and spoke as follows: “Lwonder whon I look over this vast audi. ence where you ail come from. I watched this domoustration and [ must confess that it is the largest which our strects have ever seen.” Mr. Webster was greatly annoyed at the beginning of his speect by a drum corps which stood on the corner, and thought their sole purpose on earth was to make ch noise as they could. They were final 4, and he continued : n here for the purpose of telling you why you should vote the - republican —ticke: and to tell you why I am, and why I alwa; have been a republican. ' In the summe 1564 it was my privilege, after one of the bat- tles had been fought' in the valley of ti Suenandoal, to walk beside the river. The were laid out upon that vast plain row upon row of bodiesof brave union soldicrs who had been wounded upon that bloody field. They were waiting for surgeons to amputate limbs, and waiting to die. Who shot down these noble union men! The men who had always voted the democratic ticket. And I swore to mysclf then that I would never vote with the party who had trained their murderous guns upon their brothers. Ben- jamin Harrison (long and continued cheers| endeared himself to the American people and particularly to the soldiers of Indiana by his kind treatment of them during the war. It was after ono of his brave feats in battlo that the gallant old Joe Hooker took him by the hand, and said: Ton, for this day's work I will see that you are made a brigadier general,’ and he did. It was Ien Harrison who was'one of the forerunners of the emancipation of the slaves. A contri band had come into his camp, The slave owner had procured_an order from the cow- mandine oflicer for his roturn. Ben Harri- son, after looking into the honest face of th colored man, took the document and wrote on it the words: ‘I refuso to obey this order.’ After one of the battles of the war he found himself without ® surgeon for lis regiment. Harrison took his own tont, tore the material into strips and used them to bind up the wounds of his soldiers. After that he toolc the shirt from his back, tore it in strips, and used these for the same purpose. When a surgeon Harrison was found with naked arms, covered with blood from the tips of his fingers to his shoulders as the result of his kindness to his wounded comrades. Ericnds, thus endeared to him, made him a United States senatc where'he stood as the peer of Sherman, ! munds and Conkling, while Grover Cleveland vas but the hangman of 13uffal Here Mr, Webster made a comparison be- tween Harrison and Cleveland. He compared Cleyeland to tho mud man made by “Crazy Joe" in Virginia, who melted in the rain. He then compared the democratic party to the pagans of Asia who worshipped the idol Budha. He told how the leaders in the democratic party hated Cleveland, and quoted the story of the Irishman who caught a wild- cat and ‘who called to his companions: *Be Jasus, come and take him away,he’s atin’ me up.”’ 'Mr. Webster then proceeded o give tho history of the democratic party as being the party of *dead issucs,” and said: In 1560 the demberatic party said we (the republican party) eannot cocrce i state to remain in the union. But we did. They said, You eamot put down the rebellion. But we did. They said, You caunot free the slaves. But w did.” They said, You cannot make laws for the suppression of the Ku-Klux. But wo did.

The el was loudly applauded at times, and rallies by democrats i the audicuce were promptly answered. The meeting was concluded with several fons from the Glee elub, and the clubs and the vast audience dispersed to the music of the hands and the rattle of the various drum corps. Second Ward Club, An enthuswastic outdoor republisan rally heldW ednesday evening at the corner of ighteentn and Vinton strects, under the auspices of the Second Ward republican vlub. A commodious platform, carpeted and handsomely decorated with bunting, flags, tloral wreaths and pictures, and illuminated with torches and Hambeaux, had been erected and the surrounding trees were hung with lanterns. e President O'Keefe called the meetir to order. Mr. W. Gurley, the first speaker, after briefly discussing the tariff, stated that on the question of prohibition and submission the republicans of Douglas county were as much unted agaiust either proposition as were the democrats. Referring to J. Sterling Morton, he related that @ friend had told him that during an address at Weeping Water, Mr. Morton was interrupted and asked if he h longed to the Cobden club. To which he re- plied afirmatively, and added that it was one of tho highest honors that could be con- ferred upon an American citizen, Hon. W. J.

There will be a meeting of conference com- mittees from all the democratic clubs, at Samoset hall Saturday night.

FORCE TO A!E MET WITH FORCE. They Deem It Useless to Temporize With the Mobs and Resort to the Use of Revolve ers and Clubs, The Street Car Troubles. Crmicaco, Oct. 11.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee]—The mayor and other city offi cials seem to have awakened to a_realization of the perilous situation the city finds its in on account of the license allowed the striking street car men thus far, and to-day arc adopting very different tactics in dealing with the mobs. It has always been the ¢ of the Chicago authorities to tem- 70 with the crowds and strikers until they went 8o far that the police were obliged to resort to desperate means to restore order. The practice has been repeated in this instance, but last night's experience served the authorities as a warning, and to day energetic measures were adopted. Barly this morning the mayor accordingly promul- gated the following proposition : Whereas, difiiculties have arisen between three street car companies and their em ployes, and it is necessary for the preserva tion of peace and the good of the city that Taw and order muy be maintained, therefore citizens are requested not to congregate on the streets in any section of the city, but to follow their usual avocation. 1f ‘a crowd colleets at any point evil-disposed persons in- tending to commit an overt act can veil themselves in their midst, and when breaches of the peace oceur innocent persons may be injured. The law umposes on the authorities the duty of preserving order and protecting property, and this will be done. Jony A, Rocue, Mayor, Chiet of Police Hubbard and Inspector Bonficld were i consultation, and instruc- tions were sent to all stations to adopt en- tirely different tactics, and to employ any necessary to prevent a repetition of lay's scencs in the streets. “We propose to take hold of this matter of strectobstruction with a firm hand," said Inspector Bonfield. *“The ofticer who see any act of this kind aud does not at once stop it and take such measures as the cir cumstances ms rrant, will be promptiy discharged. — An ontire company was repri- manded and fined yesterday tor not prevent- ing a blockude caused by obstruc thrown on the track ahead of il company wants protection and the fory been.called to afford it. We propose to do our duty." The newspapers, too, are unanimous in their denunciation of the rioting. The Her- ald say he harvest of riotand blood is here, and the police have fallen courageously but none too energetically to the work be- fore them. This city has lain in ushes. It has bitten of the, loaf of charity, Does it love that dievl Is it proud of that era! If not, let the city get itself in order agam. Let all obey the law.. There is no roowm for riot- ers. Let the tragedy of last November re- call the thoughtiess to reason.” 'he Chicago Tribune says that the West side strike is a political anarchistic move, en- gineered for the benefitof Palmer, the démo cratic candidate for governor. It says: “The men who are largely responsible for this piece of partisan work™ are Schilling, the dis- ciple of the school of anarchy, and Coyne, a democrat of the Peudergast brand, who, like his master, hates anything in the form of na- tional republicanjam, Schilling wants Palner elected because he belicves that he will liber- ate his ‘dear brothers,’ Iielden, Schwab and Neebe, from Joliet. A special committee appointed by the board of directors of the association of conductors and drivers called on Captain Aldrich this morning at the.Desplaines street station to inform him that the riotous out- breaks at Western Avenue were dis- countenanced by the members of the association, and that the memvers of the association engaged in such demonstrations will be expelled. A stalwart policeniun, who was nursing a great cut on his head as 4 re- minder of yesterday, and who heard the protestations of the committee, said after wards: ‘‘Yes, that's all d—d fine, but I've been on Madison street beats for six years past and [ saw a good lot of my old frieuds heaving rocks at meas we went down town." ‘The riotus element on the North side was busy during the night. On the Sedgwick strect line the strikers, or their sympathi- rs' had pulled up tho rails at two points along tho road. At Menomince stroet and at Wisconsin streef, obstructions were also placed along the track. The rails had not only been pulled up, but had been od v. Six cars started from the street barn at 6:30 o'clock a. m. They were loadea with police. The cars lad to be stopped every few mimutes i order that the tracks might be cleared, and while this was being done the crowds along the streets setup their usual yells. Where the rails were torn up the cars were dragged over the street until the track was reached agai Cars were started out later on the other North side lines, and they got through much better than heretofore. ~BPublic sentiment, which nas bren with the strikers, seemed this morning to be turning, influenced by the riotous demonstrations at Western avenue and at Orchard and 1llinois streets. No bet- ter indication of this is needed than the fact that passengers were genewally patronizing what cars were run. Where only policemen and reporters rode in the seats and on the platforms yesterday and the day before, therve were seen men and women. — The cars were not erowded, but each of the half-dozen coming down or going back together carried from four to a dozen passeugers, At the Western avenue barns, the scene of yestorday's riot, the place to-day looked as hoa great army had marched over it Along the tracks, stones, broken boxes, Dricks, and all sorts of rubbish lay whers they had been thrown last night, At West ern avenue and Madison street the switche were in a demoralized eondition. The tracks were out of shape and damaged by being sprunz and mjured with the design of throw: ing any cars off the track which mizht pass. As the day got later the crowds of strikers and idlers around the barns increased, and about 1 o'clock there was a crowd of over 5,000 people there. About. this time @ ** 'bus" load of new men with police pro 1 drove up to_the barn, “Their appearance had the same effect on the crowd as a red flag flaunted in the face of a bull. Instantly cries of rage went up, and “ikill the scabs™ was heard on all sides, The bolder ones, urged on by those in the rear, rushed forthe **'bus" and surrounded it Affairs were looking serious, and whon a shower of rocks began to fell Captain Aldrich’s mind_was made up. He ordered the ofticers to alight and draw their clubs, placing himself at the head of the squad of police, and with Licutenant Shea by his side and with drawn revolyers, the captain or dered a charge. It was made, but the strikers resisted and had to be clubbed. Every inch of the ground was contested, and Captain Aldrich, singling out the leaders of the riot, ordered a bold dash to capture them. The police rushed through the tightly packed mass of cursing, yelling humanity and sueceeded in arresting eight men, who wera bundled into the patrol wagon and driven away to the station. The in made a rushat the “bus" as soon wen had been taken away. They 1 frenzied by gheictions of the police, and yelied demoniacally at them. The police line wavered a moment, and then the loud voice of big Lieutenant Shea was again heard. *“Drive 'em back,"” he yelled. The police again went to work and clubbed the stubborn crowd, and after fighting for every iuch of the ground the rioters gave way and scattered in all di- rections, and the men were landed in the barn in safety, Many of the heads of the mob were beaten and Rt a little blood was spilled. ‘The crowd outside the baru rapidly in- creased until it numbered 10,000, and it looked as though Co: advice to the men to permit no cars to be run would be carried out. At 4 o'clock, however, the big doors swung back and nearly a hundred policemen came out and cieared the track before the strikers knew what they were doing. Then » atrol wagon loaded with ofcials, and fol owed by two street cars loaded with police men and reporters, and fanked by another patrol wagon, came out of the barn, and with nothing more serious than the yells of tue disappointed mob to obstruct them, proceeded dowii town. The party made the Lrip i zood time and at 4:30 State atrect was reached and the return trip bogan. Julius Kalselberg, a former oconductor on the Sedewick streat line, was locked up at the Chicago avenus station, and Captain Schaack expresses the opinion that the man is a dynamiter and is careful investigating theease, The prisoner was found strewing along the tracks some black objects about the size of walnut. Whethier these con tained oxplosive enough to be dangerous will b determined by the investigation. Eleotion.

One of the Union Pacific bridge foremen is absent with leave and reported on the sick list yesterday, and it all came about through underestimating the pugilistic qualities of a smaller brakeman.

Then the brakeman took a hand, and when he got through it was a winuing hand. 1t was all we could do to pull him off, and when we did we thought the forcman was some one clse, I guess that's why he didn’t come down to day, for fear the boys wouldn't know him and'not obey orders."

Hutchinson, but nobody thinks of calling him anything but ~*Old Hutch,” He has a rather youthful look and a sprightly step,although he is over sixty years old. He is tall, brond shoulderad and stalwart: plain, and almost shabby in dress. He is democratic in his man- ners, and will stop on the street to talk about the market with the shabbiest speculator o the open board. In the summer time he wears an old brown straw hat. This he exchanges when the frost comes for a big sombrer rusty and dusty. Sometimes he refuses to take hisk off in places where the usages of society call for bared head: and it is even alleged that he usually uses his big hat for a nighteap. His son, C1 L. Hutchinson, is still o young He is worth a mil- lion, and is ident of the hoard of trade, and at the head of the h Corn kxel ybank. Heisalsoa ron of art, and is president of the Chicago Art institute. But the old man doesn’t he- lieve in art. He even swearsat art, as he swears at everything else. He was a much disgusted man when he heard that “Charley™ had paid $1,200 for a picture of three or four sheep’ by Rosa Bouheur. Like many of the successful business Mustan W. G.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 1L—The republican demonstration to-day was ono of the largost and most successful ever held i Indiana. Tlhie early trains poured their thousands into the city. Nearly all of the Aifteon railroads ran special trains, Some of the roads wore 10t able to bring all the passengors who de. sired to come. Not less than one thousand extra passengor coaches were employed. It is estimated that by noon over sixty thousand visitors had arrived fly i the day tho streots became blockaded throughout the business district and pedestrians found it a tedious matter to travel o8 of bands and drum corps were marching to and fro and the sceno during the morning wns ono of confusion and noise. Hotel corridors were crowded and the din of fife and drum was to be heard everywhere, Toward noon the streets around the republican headquar ters at the New Denison hotel began to fill and at 1 o'clock nothing but a solid wall of humanity was to be seen for two squaros up and down Pennsylvania avenue. At 1:30 General Harrison, accompanied by Mr. Blaine, arrived at the New Deson and made their way across tho crowdod bal cony to euter the railing. Their appearance was the signal for a tremendous outburst from 30,00 people packed Like sardines in the streets below. Beside General Harrison stood Mrs, Harrison, and Mrs. Dimick, ac companied by Mrs. Judgo Wooils and a num ber of other ladies.

As Grand arshal Millard, followed by Af ty mounted aids, passed the reviewing nd they halted a moment with military precision and saluted. The column was one bour and thirty minutes in passing and it is estimated thut there were nearly twelve thousand in line, a large majority of whom were uniformed. There were not less than forty drum corps in the procession. At tho rear of the Kirst division camea gigantic Harrison and Morton ball drawn by four horses, and rolling continuously on its frame- Chis s the fiest campaign ball seen in this city, and its passage elicited storms of applause aud cheers. One of the most demonstrative organiza tious was the Irish club, their banner read- “Protection—It's 'Irish, You Know." arricd a mammoth stroamer 100 feot long, inscribed in big green letters, “Cead Mille Failthe to our distinguished Awerican Celt, James G. Blune.” Perbaps the club that elicited the groatest applause was fifty young girls, ranging from twelve to fifteen years,the Harrison Daugh * from Connerville. They wore juckets of blue with stars and skirta of red, “whito and biue, with biue caps. A8 the littlo beau ties passed the reviewing stand they grace- fully lifted their caps, holding them at sa- lutd as they passed, and chanting “We are for Harrison," et General Harrison and Mr. Blaive saluted them repeatedly. From Illinois there were & dozen clubs, ag- gregating nearly a thousand manufacturers. One Illinois club carried an old tattored flag of the campaign of 1840, which drew cheers wherever it passed. After the column had been passing for an hour Mr. Blaine quietly withdrow from the balcony and sat down iu one of the parlors of the hotel to rest before proceeding to the ox position grounds. General Harrison and General Porter, however, romained until the last man passed in review, when the general and Mrs. Harrison sought thoir car- riage and were driven home. Mr. Blaiue was driven to the exposition grounds, arriy- ing at the speaker's stand just as the rear of the great column reached the ground.

After several minutes the din and cheering subsided and Mr. Blaine stepped forward and suid “Ladies and Gentlemen: A man might as well take his position on the end of Cape Race und address the Atiantic ocean as to attempt to address this vast crowd.
