OMAHA, Oct. 4.-Clude honored Ohios
| Governor by literally turning out en-
masse to give him greeting, and the local
| population was augmented by many who
came in the old-fashioned prairie schooner
propelled by mule power, and formed
a picturesque background to the animated
scene. Fully 1900 people were at the sta
tion to listen to the few words that Me-
| kinley spoke, and at Fairbury there were
even more. At Beatrice there was an
audience Of not less than 800, which was
! addressed from the station, the Governor
leaving the car. Short stops were also
made at Wilber and Crete. The meeting
at Lincoln, it is said, was the biggest oil
the kind ever held in the city, and esti-
mates place the audience thai listened to
the Governor as high as $1,000 The
whole county seemed to have turned out.
! a company of State troops formed a
! guard of honor to the Governor, VINO was
met several stations out by Col. Adams,
as the representative of Nebraska's Chief
| Executive. The parade was composed OF
| clubs, college students, industrial eXhib-
It's, etc., and 1t was more than an hour
after the arrival of the train when the
| Governor began his address. Governor
! CrounZe occupied seat on the stage be-
| side eX-Governors Thayer. Dawes and
! Nance, and there were other prominent
otfice-holders and candidates. Governor
| Crounze presented Governor Mckinley
to the audience. An outburst of cheers
! greeted Mckinley as he stepped to the
railing, and there were repeated cries OF
''Our next Presidentn' He began by
saying:
II have been in Missouri and Kansas
for six hours. | have spent part Of the
morning il this State of Nebraska.
| have met thousands, yes tens OF thou
sands of people, and they act precisely as
the people did in Ohio last year when
they gave the Republican ticket major
ity OF $4,000. Cheers. The people are
eager TO vote this year. They are eager
! TO vote for their homes and their factories;
their farms and their wages. They are
eager to vote their opinion of the new
tariff lava law which President Cleve-
land did not approve; law which he de-
clared was an act OF party pertidy and
party dishonor. saying that if it passed
the Democratic party could not look the
people OF the country in the face, and
which, after its passage, he declared to be
the very communism of pelt. Nobody

the influences which made it than he and
yet he did not have the moral courage to
veto it.'
Much lauo hter was caused as Governor
Mckinley, referring to the reductions in
the tariff in the Wilson bill, quoted the
reductions made on opium for smoking,
Havana cigars, imported brandy, kid
gloves, ostrich feathers, paintings and
statuary, and said, ironically: what
comfort these reductions will give to the
mechanics and the farmers! What COM
forts they will contribute to the homes of
humble American citiZensl My fellow
citizens, these reductions benefit but one
class of our people, the opulent and lux
urious. They have nothing to commend
them to the great industrial masses of
the United States"
The pension policy of the present Ad-
ministration was fercely arraIgned, while
the audience punctuated the broken SEN
tences with hearty applause. IN man."
said Governor Mckinley, went into the
war to get pension. His only care was
to secure the safety of this Government,
No more unseltish devotion was ever
given to country than was given by our
boys in blue, and | resent the effort of the
Democratic Administration to stamp
them as frauds"
The Governor was taken to a club of
the business men after the speech and
Omaha at about half-past o'clock. He
was escorted here by a reception com
mittee, and on arrival was hurried to the
Coliseum, where q crowd of l2.O00 people
awaited him. The place was so crowded
that 1t was with difficulty that way was
made for him, and late-comers were un-
able to get inside. Fourteen carloads of
men came in from Lincoln for the pur-
pose of hearing to-nights address, but
were turned away because they could not
get in. The audience was highly de-
monstrative, and it was declared to be the
largest political gathering ever held in
Omaha.
Hon. John NJ. Thurston was particu-
larly felicitous in introducing Mckinley.
He said that when General Philip Sheri-
dan, in his famous ride, reached the Win
chester battle-ground, the first thing he
saw was young Lieutenant reforming
the ranks of his company. That officer
was VIM. Mckinley of Ohio, and he is
now again reforming the ranks of the
loyal men who intend to resist the as
saults of the commerce-destroying in
dustry destroying and tramp-making
party that is enjoying a temporary VIC
tory. This reference was wildly cheered,
and when Mr.. Thurston named Governor
Mckinley as the Presidential candidate
to be chosen in 1886. the applause was
deafening.
The Governors speech consisted of a
representation of the principles of Re-
publicanism, and was listed to with close
attention, and repeatedly interrupted
with demonstrations OF approval. The
tour through Iowa begins tomorrow
morning.
