MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March 2s.-The
visit of Governor Mckinley to Minneapo.
lis to day nearly revived the scenes when
the national republican convention was
held here. The hotels were thronged
throughout the day with visitors and
local enthusiasm had BEEN thoroughly ex-
cited 30 that tickets of admission to the
exposition hall in the evening commanded
prices that would have been astonishing If
Patti were to sing. Governor Mckinley
came here to address the annual meeting
Of the state league of republican clubs.
The league had practically fallen by the
Wsyside since the last election, but the an
nouncemsnt that the delegates from clubs
would be given tickets to hear the great
exponent of protection had Q magical ef-
feet and AZ Q result clubs have been freely
organized throughout the state during the
week to such an extent that there wsrs at
least 2, 900 delegates on hand, as against
900 last year.
Governor Mckinley arrived In this city
at $3.50 q. m. An escort had met him at
Chicago and had made the journey With
him, and at st. Paul the party had been
joined by Governor Nelson, Lieutenant
Governor Cloush and dozen other prom
tEent republicans. The party was escorted
to the West hotel by the university stu
dente, 900 strong, who gave college yells.
In tho evening, as early as O'Clock, the
people began to throng into the Exposition
tall, and the 500 ushsrs had all they could
do to seat the great audience. The rostrum
was decorated with flags, and on the stage
were An anvil and anchor, symbolic
of manufacturing and commercial in

conststed of the veterans of the
Union league, the Flsmbesu club and stu
dents. When the hall was reached there
was vast concourse of people at the en-
trance, which parted and greeted Governor
Mckinley with great cheering as he passed
through the lines arm-in- arm with Govern
or Nelson. As he entered the hall scene
of wild enthusiasm ensued, which lasted
until the platform was reached. Governor
Nelson was given an ovation - he came
forward to introduce the speaker. The
applause WAS tremendous when he intimst-
ed that Governor Mckinley was likely to
be the next republican nominee for presi-
dent.
It was O'Clock when Governor MeKtn-
ley came forward and was made the recep-
lent of another reception. He spoke an
hour and half, enthusiastic applause &C.
curing frequently.
He said In part in his speech: "Muoh
has happened since the great republican
national convention of 1892 assembled in
this hall. The platform and candidates of
that great convention, admirable as they
were, were rejected by the people at the
election following; but the people had no
sooner spoken than they realized their
,,ex. k>lr
they now feel most sensibly and
regret most deeply. The principles enun-
dated 1t that convention were true then;
they are true now. They are az dear to
republicans now a. then; they are better
understood and more ardsntly supported
by the great body Of the people in the year
1894 than they were in the year 1899.
While the republican party failed to carry
the election, the cauee for which 1t con-
tended did not fail. It survived the awful
disaster and shines more brightly and glo-
riously than svsr before.

interests of the people.
| "What were the great principles and
| policies then enuneisted In this hall? Let
| me enumerate them: A protective tariff,
which shall serve the highest interests of
| American labor and American develop
ments; reciprocity, which, while seeking
/ the worlds markets for our surplus pro-
ducts, shall not destroy American wages,
nor surrender American markets for
products which can be made at home; the
use of both gold and silver with which
people and cheat nobody; honest cleo
lions, which are tho true sources
of public authority; the extension of oul
foreign commerce; the restoration of oul
merchant marine by home built ships; the
creation of . navy for the protection Of
our national interests and the nonor of oul
flag; the maintenance of the most friendly
relations with all foreign powers and en-
tangling alliances with none; the reafirm
alton of the Monroe doctrine and of faith
In the achievement of the manifest destiny
of the republic "a the best government Of
earth in the broadcast and truest sense.
