Western tour. After an early break

across the Missouri river to Council

the Grand hotel number of gentlemen
who were there attending the reunion
of the the Army OF Tennessee. Among
them were Gems. Howard, Dodge, VOL
colt. Hickenlooper and Williamson.
Col. Fred Grant, Tecumseh Sherman
and Col. Hugh BeIknap, who had an
interchange OF fraternal greeting with
Mckinley. From stand erected in front
of the hotel Gov. Jackson introduced
the governor TO about 10000 people.
Council Bluffs was left at 1O:45. the
governors party being taken charge of
by Charles Kennedy, general North
western passenger agent of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railway, who
acted as escort as far as Des Mones.
A queer incident occurred at Nicola,
where several hundred stood around
the car of Gov. Mckinley. giving him
entirely respectful attention. When
the train started, however, instead of
giving the usual parting cheer, the
whole crowd, with few exceptions,
began to shout
"Hurrah for Weaver,,'
the Populist candidate for congress in
the Council Bluffs district. IL was ex.
planned that Nicola was particularly
strong center OF populism. At Avo-
ca long stop was made, and Gov.
Mckinley left the car to speak from a
platform to the several thousands
assembled. Two. thousand men were
waiting at Atlantic to hear Nc
Kinley, and he addressed them
from the platform of the station.
Among other things he criticised the
Democratic party for having made the
tariff of the United States lower than
that of Canada. the conseq uence being
that Canadian agricultural products
could be imported into the United
States at lower rate than the farm
products of the Uuited States could be
exported into Canada. At the little
village of Casey some of the audience
cried out as the governor was closing
his speech that protection benefited
only the manufacturers. ana the train
pulled out before reply could be made.
But at Stuart the governor said:
Somebody at the last station said as
we were leaving that protection only
helped the manufacturer. There are
many thousands of wOrkmen in this
country who could tell that man of his
error. Every reduction of duty made
by the tariff law of 1894 has been fol-
lowed by reduction of wages, because
If the manufacturer of the United
States is to continue in business, he is
compelled to reduce wages in order to
compete right at his own doors with the
manufacturers Of foreign nations"
A number of stops of one or two
minutes were made along the route and
at every one there was crowd that in.

route that the sons of Generals Grant

they were compelled to show them.

words. Col. Grant was presen ted to
the crowd at Avoca at the conclusion of
Gov. McKinley's speech and failed to
get OH the train in time. 1t was held al

after on locomotive, and he was given

appearance. Gov. Jackson accompanied
Gov. Mckinley from Council Bluffs to
Des Moines. The reception in Des

share of attention, too, especially from
gray-haired men wearing &. A. r.
badges, who searched the carriages until
they located Col. Grant, then shook his
