nicola (Ia), Oct. 5.-The patriotic
speeches which Governor Mckinley has
been making are bearing fruit, for at
every one of the stations where crowds
assent bled to hear him there are liberal
displays Of flags, of which the Governor
says so much. This has been especially
noticeable during the last two days, and
since the speeches he has made have been
put into circulation. There was an early
breakfast to-day and a fve-mile drive
across the Missouri River to Council
Bluffs, where Mckinley found at the
Grand Hotel number of gentlemen who
were there attending the reunion OF the
Army Of the Tennessee. Among them
were Generals Howard, Dodge, Wolcott,
Hickenlooper and Williamson, Colonel
Fred Grant, Tecumsch Sherman and
Colonel Hugh Belknap, who had an in
terchange of fraternal greetings with Nc
Kinley. From a stand erected in front of
the hotel Governor Jackson introduced
the Governor to the several thousand
people. After commenting on the inter-
est shown by the men congregating thus
early to hear political speech, Governor
Mckinley said:
to express your opinion Of the work of
the Democratic Administration. The peo-
pie of this country have experienced a
revolution in political sentiment. There
has not been anything like it in Ameri-
can history. The Democratic party car
ried the country in 1892, but in every cleo
ton III every Northern State since the
verdict then given has been revoked, and
the people have spoken in laundering
tones IN favor of the Republican party
and the principles of that party. What is
the cause OF this revolution? The Demo-
cratic President and the Democratic Con-
gress has been running this Government
for the last nineteen months, and during
that time little has been accomplished.
Every industry has been distressed, and
every occupation has been iniuriously at
tected. You are prosperous in the agri-
cultural sections of Iowa when the mills
and factories are running in every State
in the Union. My parting words are,
bring back the State of Iowa to the posi-
ton 1t so long occupied as one of the ban
ner Republican States of the Union"
Council Bluffs was left at $40, the Gov
ernors party being taken charge Of by
Charles Kenery, General Northern Pas
senger Agent OF the Rock Island Rail-
road, who acts as escort as far as Des
Moines.
a queer incident occurred at Nicola.
where several hundred stood around the
car of Mckinley. giving him an entirely
respectful attention. When the train
started, however. instead of giving him
the usual parting cheer, the whole crowd,
with few exceptions. began to shout
"Hurrah for Weaver" the POpulist
candidate for Congress. 1t was expected
as Nicola was a particularly strong CEN
ter of Populism.
At Avoca a long stop was made, and
Governor Mckinley left the car to speak
from platform to the several thousands
He claimed that 80 per cent of the
products of agriculture in this country
are consumed in this country, and
the other 10 per cent. goes abroad. The
Republican party is looking after the
90 per cent, for the Democratic party
gives its attention to the 10 per cent.
Two thousand men are waiting at At
lantic to hear Mckinley. Stops of one or
two minutes were made along the route,
and at every one there was a crowd that
insisted upon hearing word from the
Governor. The private car of General
Dodge was attached to the train at Coun-
Gil Bluffs, and in it as guests of General
Dodge were Colonel Fred Grant, Tecum-
sch Sherman, Major Hoyt Sherman and
General Howard. 1t became known
along the route that the sons of Generals
Grant and Sherman were aboard the
train, and they were compelled 10 show
few words.
Governor Jackson accompanied Gov
ernor Mckinley from Council Bluffs to
Des Moines.
Governor McKinley's reception in Des
Moines was extraordinary. He was fol-
lowed from the depot to the hotel by
thousands, who surrounded his carriage
and kept up a continuous yell, which
was Joined in by other thousands that
packed the sidewalks. Colonel Grant
came in for share Of attention, especially
from the @. a. Il. veterans. They
searched the carriages until they located
Colonel Grant, then shook hands with
a vigor that approached violence Gov
ernor Mckinley made two speeches, the
first at the Tabernacle and the other at
the Opera house, both of which were
literally packed. Thousands were un-
able to obtain admission. The Grant
Republican Club entertained the other
notables at banquet, after the speech
making was concluded. The early train
will be taken for st. Paul in the morn
ing.
HILLS CHANCES IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Chairman Hick-
ley of the Democratic State Committee
said: LAS the situation stands, | can
most emphatically state that the regular
Democratic ticket will receive the full
support of the Cleveland faction. AS to
w
with orders from the Administration to
restore harmony both in the city and
State, | am not at liberty to say, but can
tell you that l am positively assured
that the Administration men in Wash
ington desire most earnestly the success
of the regular Democratic ticket headed
by Senator Hill. l can also state to you
that Judge w. j. Gaynor will without
doubt appear on the State ticket as the
nominee for the Court OF Appeals. The
Administration at large and all it's sup
porters realize that the honor of the
Democracy is now at stake, and for that
purpose they are willing to make every
concession in the interest of securing
Democratic elections this fall. 1t is no
longer a question with the Administra-
ton men of personality, but of the De-
mocracy.'
