SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. 10.-The capital
city of Illinois to-day was in holiday attire
in honor of the reee ption given Hon. Will
liam Mckinley of Ohio this afternoon, and
the State House was well behagged. Rep
resentative Hall had been elegantly deco
rated for the edifcation of the Illinois
State Republican League, which held its
fourth annual convention to-day. Incom-
ing trains brought in thousands of people
to see and hear Mckinley, who reached
Springfield at o'clock. There was big.
noisy and rather disorderly crowd, which
seemingly struggled TO split their thraa,s
in yelling at Governor Mckinley. and rem
dered 1t well nigh impossible for MIN to
make his way to the State Capitol, where
the State league of clubs was in session.
The hall of the House of Representatives
was packed. and as Governor Mckinley
entered the cheers of welcoms given him
were deafenng. G. w. Raymond. vice
president of the league, performed the
duty of making an Introduction, cnarac-
terizing Governor Mckinley as being
nearer the hearts of American people than
any man living in America. Renewed
cheering continuing for several minutes
followed the PRODUCTION. and when it
had subsidized three cheers ''for the next
President" were given. and when it was
suggested by some one ITO let it go again"
three more rang out.
Tie Governor acknowledged the hearti-
ness OF the greeting. and after telling the
club what 1t should do toward securing a
great victory in Illinois, added: "You
have everything to inspire you. Few
States in the Union have such in spiration
as the Safe of Illinois. You have in keep
ing the ashes of Lincoln, as America has
in keeping his immortal name and the Re-
publican party has 10 keeping the princ-
pies for which be contended when alive.
These splendid principles still survive.
Ohio has always claimed some share in
the nomination of Mr.. Lincoln for the
Presidency. In 1860, in the city of Chicago,
when the third ballot had been taken, Mr..
Lincoln lacked one and half votes to
give him the nomination. At the end of
the third ballot there was hushed silence
throughout that great wigwam. d. K.
Carter of Canton, Ohio, an old neighbor
and friend Of mine, who preceded me in
Congress, rose in his place and transferred
three votes from Salmon P. Chase to Mr..
Lincoln, making him the nominee. [Ap-
plause. Some other State might have
done 1t; some other State would have done
it, but this fact remains, Ohio did it and
we have treasured that fact with increas-
ing pride and love ever since. Applause
You are engaged in q splendid cause.
We have no patronage to bestow; our
cause rests upon pri nciples, and if these
principles are sufficient we win give em-
plOyment and wages to many thousands
who are now working at starvation wages.
We are ready now for a change, and we
want to commence now to bring it about.
Ohio will do her part, don't forget that.
We will put six Republicans in the Ma
tional House of Representatives who will
take the place of six Democrats who are
now there to unite with your Republican
Representatives and others from other
States to prevent the Democratic party
from wholly destroying our industries and
degrading American labor and American
citizenship
