ELnoy, WIS.,. Oct IA distinguished
marty OF Wisconsin Republicans came
with Governor Mckinley from West
Superior. The first stop was at Chip
pewa Falls. at7:3O, followed by others
at Eau Claire, Altoona, Black River
Falls. Merrill Junction and Elroy.
There were numbers at each place, and
feature at every one was the presence
of ex.soldiers with streaming flags, to
which Mckinley invariably made &C.
knowledgment. The governor has
been nominated for President in every
state through which he passed, and
Wisconsin has taken up the cry with
increasing repetition at every place.
At Merrill Junction. tho presence OF
number Of school children seemed to
give the governor an inspiration and
looking benizningiy over the array OF
bright young faces ho said:
GThere IS nothing like the public
school system Of this country. 1t lies
at the foundation OF our security ana
liberty, 1t was from the public schools
OF the country that went forth the
courage and patriotism that conquered
the mightiest rebellion in human his
tory and gave added lustre to the flag
which I see you carry here. These pub
lie schoola must be maintained.
~ note with pleasure the presence OF
the soldiers Of the republic. am glad
to greet them thia morning. We need
more patriotism, little more genuine
Americanism, little more Of that SON
timens which means that the people OF
this country are going to stand for their
own interests aud America. We disas-
sociated ourselves from Great Britain
more than 100 years ago and We did it
because we wanted government ot our
own, and now We propose that the pol.
lev Of protection, prosperity and pa
triotism shall be pursued, a policy
which gives the greatest number Of peo.
pie in this country the highest and
greatest good"
Alter making short speeches at Reeds
burg, Baraboo aud Lodi, Governor Nc
Kinley arrived at Madison at 2:30 and
spoke to m audience Of several Thousand
people in the gymnasium building OF
the state university.
Mr.. G. NJ. Sheldon, president Of the
university league OF clubs. presided and
presented Major Mckinley, who was
received with boisterous demonstra.
tions. He said that in speech deliver.
ed at Madison two years ago he had
predicted the result that would follow
the election OF the Democratic free trade
party and every prediction made had
been justified. =.
II have been trying for three years"
said the governor, ito get somebody TO
tell me why tho foreigner should enjoy
the same privileges in the market as
the American citizen; upon what prin-
ciple the foreign producers should enjoy
the same privileges as the American
producers. Yet there is party in this
country that has inaugurated policy
which gives to the foreigners equal
privileges with the citizens Of the
United States. l say no. The foreigner
is 5000 miles away. He owes no alle-
glance to our flag, and he does not con-
tribute one cent to the support and
maintenance Of the government"
viLAs UNDER FIRE.
An incident occurred when Governor
Mckinley began a reply to a speech

came into this hall copy Of a speech
made by Senator Villas in this city on
the 9Th day OF last September"
A scene Of confusion followed. Some
ono ospied Mr.. Villas seated in m OBJ
sCure place on a stairway near tho
stage, and several in the audience yelled
him out"
Mckinley after some effort quieted
the disturbance and procueded:
lilo paid high compliment to
the first administration OF President
Cleveland in these words:
Almost from tho first hour, within
three months, reducing expenditures
and assuring public confidence began
to manifest their good effect, and with
growing vlEor rose the general public
ana business prosperity, which con-
tinue to mark tho entirc residue OF that
administration as the nappiest period
OF business activity, development and
success in all directions since the war.
or since the advent OF Reuub(icanism
in finance
"The laws which President Cleveland
was administering were the laws made
by tho Republican party"
This sally was followed by prolonged
cheering, closing with cheers for the
Mckinley bill.
