Kinley's reception in Iowa was fully a.
demonstrative and enthusiastic as accorded
him in either Kansas or Nebraska. The
patriotic speeches which the Governor has
been making have borne fruit, for at every
one where crowds assembled to hear him
there were liberal displays of flags. of
which the Governor says so much. This
has been especially noticeable during the
last two days, since the speeches made
have been put into circulation There was
an early breakfast at Omaha to-day and g
five-mle drive across the Missouri river
to Council Bluffs, Ia, where Mckinley
found at the Grand Hotel number of gen
tlemen who were attending the reunion OF
the Army of the Tennessee. Among them
were Generals Howard Dodge, Wolcott,
Hickenlooper and Williamson, Col. Fred

ternal greetings with Governor Mckinley.

gathering thus early to hear a political
speech Governor Mckinley said:
You have an opportunity to vote now to
express your opinion of the work of the
Democratic administration and Congress
The people of this country experienced n
revolution in political sentiment. There has
not been anything else like it i'm American
history. The Democratic party carried the
country in 1892 but in every election In
every Northern State since the verdict has

AT Avoca g long stop was made and Gov
ernor Mckinley left the car TO speak from
a platform TO the several thousand people
assembled. He told of the reopening of
the factories of England which were closed

that the American farmer can get" he
added. is the American market. England
does not buy anything in this country that
she can get anywhere else in the world,

chants of that country to come here to
sell their goods Ninety per cent. of the
products of agriculture in this country are

party is looking after the 80 per cent. the
Democratic party gives its attention to the

Two thousand men were waiting at At

them from the platform of the station. He
criticised the Democratic party for having
made the tariff OF the United States lower
than that OF Canada, the consequence be-
ing that Canadian agricultural products
could be imported into the United States
at a lower rate than the farm products OF
the United States could be exported into
Canada.
