OhiO's Governor by literally turning out
en- masse to give him greeting, and the To-
cal population was augmented by many
who came in the old-fashioned prairie
schooners propelled by mule power and
formed picturesque background to the
animated scene. Fully 1000 were at the
Belleville station to listen to the few words
that Mckinley spoke, aud at Fairbury
there were even more. At Beatrice there
was an audience of not less than 500.
which was addressed from the station, the
Governor leaving the car. Short stops
were also made at Wilbur and Crete.
The meeting at Lincoln, it is said, was
the biggest of the kind ever held in the
city. and estimates Of the enormous audi
ence to which Governor Mckinley spoke
from platform erected in front OF the
Lincoln Hotel ranged as high as
$4,000. The whole country seemed
to have. turned out. A company
of State troops formed guard of honor to
the Governor, who was met several sta
tions below Lincoln by Colonel Adams of
Governor Crounse's staff as the represen-
tative of Nebraska's chief executive.

posed of clubs, college students and indus
trial exhibits. ana it was more than an
hour after the arrival of the train when

their wages. They are eager to vote their
opinion of the new tariff lava law which
President Cleveland did not approve. a
law which he declared was an act of party

only care was to secure the safety of this
Government. No more unselfish devotion
was ever given TO country than was given
by our boys in blue, and resent the effort
of the Democratic administration to stamp

The Governor was taken to club of the
business men after the speech and met the
members, taking train for Omaha at
about $50 o'clock. He was escorted here
by reception committee. and on arrival
was hurried to the Coliseum, where crowd
of $4,000 persons awaited him. The place
was so crowded when Governor Mckinley
arrived that it was with difficulty that
way was made for him, and late comers
were unable to get inside. Fourteen car
loads of men came iD from Lincoln for the

but were turned away because they could
not get in. The audience was highly
demonstrative. and 1t was declared to be
the largest political gathering ever held in
Omaha. Hon. John Nj. Thurston was par

Kinley. He said that when General Phil
Sheridan in his famous ride reached Win
