Bee Is a Pronounced Success.
Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. Ex-Governor Nc
Kinley, of Ohio, arrived in the city at
6 o'clock tonight and was greeted at
the depot by large crowd of enthu-
siastic Republicans, who escorted him
to the Chicago Beach hotel, where he
dined.
Immediately after dinner the COVER
nor was driven to the armory OF the
First infantry. where crowd of about
5000 people had gathered to hear him.
After the rendering of several songs
by the Glee club, John NJ. Smythe,
chairman of the Republican county
committee, introduced Governor Nc
Kinley to his audience. Great applause
greeted Governor Mckinley and the
deafening toots of horns and cheers
lasted four minutes. When at length
he got an opportunity to speak. he
said:
Booming Bonnie.
1.-Two years ago Republican admin
istration, which had been in power for
nearly four years, which had conducted
the government with singular ability
and honesty and efficiency, at the
head of which was one of your great
est of American presidents, President
Harrison, was, by the voice of the peo-
pie, voted out of power and the Dem
ocratic party was voted in. For nine
teen months, therefore. the Democratic
party. has been in supreme control of
every branch of the general govern
ment, and during that nineteen
oh hn
since the war, Congress has been en-
gagged in revising the tariff, and while
the Congress has been revising the
tariff the people have been busy re-
vising their votes, and from one end of
this country to the other the people
are burning with Impotence for an
opportunity to pass upon the work of
the Democratic party and a Democrat
ic Congress. The people never wanted
to vote so badly in all their lives as
they do now. This period has given
the people an opportunity for sober re-
Election, steadied by the discipline of
adversely.
The Old, Old Song.
1.-THE people have been rejecting, for
they have had little else to occupy
them. There probably has been no
such revolution of public sentiment in
quarter of a century as has taken
place within the past twenty months.
Every northern state which has spok-
en- has spoken in condemnation of the
Democratic policy and Democratic
measures. And not only is this revolu-
ton of public sentiment going on in
the north, but it is certainly going on
in the south. In Louisiana only a few
months ago the representative men of
that state, men who had hitherto been
Democrats, were at last compelled to
abandon that position. and by proc
lamation declared their adherence
hereafter to the principles of the Re
publican party. What has been the
occasion of this remarkable revolution
in public sentiment? / can answer it
in a single sentence. A Democratic
President and Democratic Congress
have been running the government for
nineteen months and during that time
little else has been running. Every in
dustry has been seriously interrupted;
all the enterprises of the people have
been very seriously checked, labor has
been less employed than for thirty
years, and when employed, at greatly
reduced wages. There has been no
cessation in those nineteen months in
the waste of wealth and wages. and
property and investment, and it has
been estimated that the cost to the
people has been greater than the ex-
pense of the civil war. Appeals to
charity have never been so great or
so incessant, and their reasonableness
so well recognized.
Dodging Again.
Congress has trifed with the sacred
| trusts of the people, imperiled their for
tunes their property. their investments

selves and upon their own confessions
have been compromised. The Senate does
! not agree with the House nor the House
with the Senate, nor the president with
| either one of them. And the people seem
| to be in disagreement with all three of
them. They have given us tariff law
which nobody approves of, who lives be-
meath the. stars and stripes; law which
| the president of the United States char
acterized as an act of party perfidy and
party dishonor. and which he said, if it
never could look the people of the coun-
| try in the face, and which, after its
passage, he declared in a letter to Con-
gresham Catchings, was the very COM
law. which the president of the United
| States refused to sign and the only rea-
| son he refused to sign it was because
it was not bad enough The Democrats
say that if we have free trade we would
have things a little cheaper. Well, are
not things cheap enough now Does the
| farmer think he is getting too much for
| wheat? You know they told us in 1892
that if the farmers would vote the Demo
cratic ticket and vote the Democrats into
power. that the farmer would have dol
lar wheat. They now say they meant

The PHsion Racket.
1.-THE Democrats say they have reduced
| the expenditures in the last two years:
| I see Vice-President Stevenson says that
they have saved s2SOOO.000 in approprla-
tons and 81, 100000 of these SIS, 900. 900 are
| for pensions. He does not say it, but
do The Democratic party is the most
remarkable party in history. 1t is for
anything to get power and then 1t is
never for anything which gives 1t power.
They posed in 1892 as the enemies of the
| trusts, and when they came into power
upon their own concession they became
! the willing tools of the most gigantic
| trust in the country. They posed in 1892
as the true and only friends of labor,
and they were engaged in that year in
arraying the employer against the en-
ployee in widening the chasm between
| labor and capital and in preiudicing la
| into power they inaugurated an indus
| trial policy that has given to labor the
deadliest blow 1t ever had
1.-The only thing the people have got

/ house of Representa- tives. If 1t be made
Republican then after the 4th day OF
