NICOLA, Iowa, Oct 6.-The patriotic
speeches which Governor Mckinley has
been making are bearing fruit, for at
every one OF the stations where crowds
assemble to hear him there are liberal
displays OF the dags OF which the COVER
nor says so much. This has been
especially noticeable during the last
two days and since. the speeches made
have been put into circulation. There
was an early breakfast to-day and q FIVE
miles drive across the Missouri river to
Council BlufFs. Iowa, where Mckinley
found at tho Grand Hotel number ol
gentlemen who were there attending
tho reunion of the Army of the Ten
nessee. Among them were Generals
Howard, Dodge, Wolcott, Hickenlooper
and Williamson, Col. Fred Grant,
Tecumseh Sherman and Col. Hugh
Belknap, who had au interchange ot
fraternal greeting with Mckinley.
From stand erected in front OF the
hotel Governor Jackson introduced the
governor to the several thousand peo-
pie. After commenting on the interest
shown by them in congregating thus
early to hear political speech, Cover
nor 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 coun-
try have experienced revolution in
political sentiment. There mas aot been
anything else like 1t in American his
tory. The Democratic party carried
the country in 1892, but in every cleo.
tion in every northern state since the
verdict then given has been revoked
and the people have spoken in thunder
ous tones for the Republican party and
the principles Of that party.
THE CAUSE OF IT.
"What is the cause Of this revolution
The Democratic President and the
Democratic Congress have been run.
ming this government for the last nine
teen months, and during that time little
else has been running. Applause.
Every industry has been distressed and
every occupation has been injuriously
Affected. We need prosperity, aud the
prosperity OF one occupation depends
upon the prosperity of every other
You are prosperous in the agricultural
sections OF Iowa when the mills and
factories and furnaces are running In
every state OF the Union. My parting
words are, bring back the state OF lows

SOME OF THE INCIDENTS.
A queer incident occurred at Nicola,
where several hundred stood around
tho car OF Governor Mckinley, giving
- him entirely respectful attention
Whom the train started, however, in
stead Of giving tho usual parting cheer,
the whole crowd with few exceptions
began to shout "Hurrah for Weaver ~
the Popuiist candidate for Congress II

planned that Nicola was particularly
strong center OF Populism.
At Avera long stop was made, aud
Governor Mckinley left tho car t

which were closed during the RepubIi

land does not sock market where

paid mechanics; it only seeks a market
IN those countries where good wages art
paid, and where, with its low priced
labor, eau successfully compete with
better paid workmon.
Tho most certain market that the
American farmer can get," he added
is the American market. Englant
does not buy anything in this country
that sho can got anywhere else in the
world, yet the Wilson tariff law invite,
the merchants OF that country to como
hero and sell their goods.
Ninety per cent OF tho products O
agriculture in this country arc con

Two thousand mon wore waiting nj
