Champion of Protection Is the Hero Of
Hour With the Farmers OF the West.
OMAHA, NEn, Oct. 4.-Clyde honored
ohiO's governor by. literally turning out
enmasse to give him greeting, and the
local population was augmented by
many who came in on the old.fashioned
prairie schooners, propelled by mule
power. and formed picturesque back
ground to the animated picture. Fully
1000 were at the Belleyille station to
listen 70 the few words that Mckinley
spoke, and at Fairbury there were even
more.
At Beatrice there was an audience Of
not less than 5000, which was ad'
dressed from the station, the governor
not leaving the car. Short stops were
also made at Wilbur and Crete. At Lin,
coin the biggest meeting OF the KIND
ever held in the city, aud estimates oil
the enormous audience TO which Gov
ernor Mckinley spoke to from plat
form erected in front OF the Lincoln ho-
tel, ranged as high as 10000. Inc
whole country seemed to have turned
out.
A number Of men came from Auburn,
Nebraska City, Syracuse, Hickman aud
other places on horseback, some oil
them having been on the way since
yesterday morning. A company oil
state troops formed q guard OF honor 10
the governor, who was met several

Adams, of Governor Crounz's stat, as
the representative Of Nebraska's chiet
executive. There was long parade
into which Governor Mckinley was in
corporated, composed Of clubs, college
students, industrial exhibits, etc, and
it was more than an hour after the
arrival OF the special train when the
governor began his address. :,
A great outburst OF cheers greeted
Mckinley as he stepped to the front,
and were "for our next President"
He began by saying: II have been IN
Missouri aud Kansas for thirty.slx
hours. have spent part ot the morn.
ing in this great state Of Nebraska. l
have met thousands, yes tens OF thou
sands, OF people, and they act precisely
as the people did in Ohio lastyear when
they gave the Republican ticket ma
jority OF $4,000. Cheers. The people
are eager to vote their opinion OF the
now tariff law, law which President
Cleveland would not approves; law
which he declared was an act OF party
perfidy and party dishonor, saying II 1t
passed the Democratic party could not
look the people Of the country in the
face, aud which, after it's passage, he
declared to be the very communism OF
pelf. Nobody was better able to speak
OF that bill and the influences which
made il than he, and yet he did not
have the moral courage to veto it.
Much laughter was caused by Gov
ernor Mckinley referring to tariff re-
ductions made in the tariff bill by the
Wilson law. He quoted the reductions
made on opium for smoking, Havana
cigars, imported brandy, kid gloves, os'
trich feathers, paintings and statuary,
saving ironically: "What comfort these
reductions will give to the merchants
and the farmers. What comforts they
will contribute to the homes OF humble
American citizens. My fellow citizens,
these reductions benefit but one class
Of our people, the opulent and luxuri;;
GUS. They have nothing to commend
them to the great industrial masses
OF the United States" !.
The governor was taken to club OF
business men after the speeches and met
the members. taking train for Omaha
at about half past o'clock He was
escorted here by reception committee
and on arrival was hurried to the
coliseum where crowd Of 1900 per-
sons awaited him.
Hon. John NJ. Thurston was partlcu-
larIy felicitious in introducing McKin;
lev. He said that when Gen. Phil
Sheridan, in his famous ride, reached
Winchester battle ground, the first
thing he saw was young lieutenant
reforming the ranks OF his company:
That officer was William Mckinley, OF
Ohio, and he is now again reforming
the ranks OF tho loyal men who intend
to resent the assault Of commerce-des::
troying, MISUNDERSTANDING and
tram ps.making party that is enjoying a
temporary victory. This reference was
wildly cheered, aud when Mr.. Thurston
