tween each half dozen bites and the
strange experience Of to-day was donbly
pleasant It was about I O'clock when
the special train stopped at the Wa

Kinley in their midst The speaking
was at the fair grounds, the audience
numbering three or four thousand.
At Adrian Governor Mckinley was
met by General Algor. Governor Rich
and others, who escorted him to De-
troit. A stop OF thfee hours was made
at Jackson in order to enable the gov
esnor TO address an immense crowd
gathered at the fair ground, he referring
feeIingly to the fact that Jackson was
the blrth-place OF the Republican party,

where in the world. During the
years that ii controlled the govern

but he had the satisfaction Of knowing
that the United States had the money.
He might have gone further and said

What we want to-day in this country Is

follow no theory Of political economy,
which will debase our American citizen

country from the highest possibilities"
Not until we'll after dark was Detroit
reached. There was a big crowd at the
depot to cheer and follow him in an
organized procession to the residence OF
General Alger, where he will spend the
night. The Auditorium tonight was
literally packed and Governor McKin-

governor in the morning to Grand
