TIE ADDRESS OF WELCOME.
President Mckinley of the keystone
club, said, In part:
The conception of this annual dinner upon
the plan OF tonight grew out of the belief that
the interests of the Demo Gratis OF these western
states are largely identical: that the relation OF
the citizens OF these states to the nation at
large and other countries Affecting he pros
|
| citizens are largely The same; that the
| same political forces and ideas which so
steadily and lrres Stbly cut down the
| tremendous Republican majorities in Iowa and
! Nebraska are, or ought to be, at work cease
| leSSly in all these western states and
| territories; that the interchange of opinion and
views, not only this year but in following years.
| would be OF mutual advantage and further
more, that to some degree at least the atten-
ton OF the east be called to the fact that the
west has not built great cities, peopled
] new states and advanced in all material
ways with such wonderful strides without
| al The same time producing at least some great
men fully equipped and capable in every way to
| direct the affairs of government quite as we'll
| as their eastern brethren, and hereafter it
must not be alone what the money lending,
| commercial, manufacturing and sometimes
| politically Scheming New York, but also what

the toast, 1.-The West in Politics." and

THE EVENT OF THE EVENING
was the reply to 1.-THE Democracy in 1892, y
by Governor Boies, of Iowa. When the
governor arose to speak he was greeted
with deafening cheers, and it was some
time before he could proceed.
Governor Boies in the course of his re-
marks said:
Three years ago Democratic President
aroused the country by his declaration.
''UNNECERRARY TAXATION is UNJUST TAXA
TIoN,"
and by that declaration incorporated into the
political creed OF his followers as one of its car
dlnal principles, to remain, 1 hope, for
ever, the doctrine that the rightfui power
OF this government to levy assessments
direct or indirect, is limited TO its necessities
for revenue alone. This was no declaration OF
hostility TO the manufacturing industries of this
country 1t was the assertion of a principle
that put into practice would give to them free
raw material that would stimulate the com

shoulders Of those who possess wealth.
Governor Boies said the farmers hav
made the bulk of the wealth OF the natio
: but its laws have turned the golden STREAM
from theirs to other hands. 1t is n
stinted concession of right in the Jesse

refers to the classes who have been en-
