time and were driven to the West hotel,
and soon the 'rotunda WAS filled with an
cntf ~usiastic crowd, which began cheering
for Mckinley. TIL governor, when he
made his appearance, WIS greeted with
dcafening cheers. He made a brief
spt ech, predicting Republican success.

John Goodnow, made only brief remarks,
but what he said was to the point
II speak," he said, "for this great city
and this great Northwest. Both are
proud to welcome here the great gov
ernor of Ohio. l am not here to make a
speech, but it is not too much for me to
say that Minnesota will give the Repub-
lican cause in November a majority of
$4,000, and two years hence we will
roll up for Mckinley a majority of 1OO,-
OOO."
Gov. Mckinley responded with a short
speech. In closing, he said: minnesota
in 1892 gave Gov. Nelson, my old col
league and friend, your governor, in 1892,
a year that was not very refreshing for
Republicans, $4,000 plurality. You ought
to make it $4,000 this year. Ohio gave
the Republican ticket in '92 1000 ma
jo1ity, and last year it gave $4,000. Now
if you will equal that percentage this
year in Minnesota 1 will come back to
see O again."
