VIII Tackle New York Next.
ELRoY. Wis, Oct. "a party OF dis
tinguished Wisconsin Republicans came
with Governor Mckinley from West
Superior. A special train was provided
which left at midnight over the Omaha
road and ran down to Chippewa Falls
shortly after sunrise. The official escort
consisted of II. Uphsm. candidate for
governor; Judge Emil Banesch, candi-
date for lieutenant governor, and other
candidates on the etate ticket. There
were also Henry @. Thorn. chairman of
the state committee; Samuel A. Harper,
president of the State League club, and
others.
The fret stop was at Chippewa Falls,
at 80, followed by others at Eau
Claire. Altoona. Black River Falls,
Merrill junction and Elroy. There
were numbers at each place, and the
party were cheered heartily. The gov
ernor has been named for president
through every state which he pssHed,
and Wisconsin has taken up the cry
with increasing repetition at every
place. At Merrill Junction the pres
ence of a number OF school children
seemed to give the governor inspiration.
and. looking meaningly over the array
of bright faces, he said:
There is nothing like the public
school system in this country. 1t lies
at the foundation of our security and
liberty. 1t was from the public schools
OF the country that went forth the
courage and patriotism to conquer the
mightieet rebellion in history, and gave

carrying here. These public schools must
be maintained. l note with pleasure the
presence of the soldiers of the republic.
| am glad 90 greet them this morning.
We need more patriotism in this coun-
try a little more genuine Americanism /;
little more of that sentiment which
means that the people of this country
are going to stand for their own interests
and America"
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 9.-After making
short speeches at Reedburg, Baraboo
and Lodi, Governor Mckinley arrived at
Madison at 2:30 and spoke to an au-
dience of several thousand people in the
university building. Several hundred
students had previously acted as an
escort through the streets. Mr.. G. M.
Sheldon, president OF the University
League of Republican clubs, presided,
and presented MAJOR Mckinley, who was
received with boisterous demonBtra-
tions.
~ have been trying for 15 years." he
said, ito get somebody to tell me why
the foreigners should enjoy the same
privilege in our markets as the Amsri-
can citizens; on what principle the for
eigners should enjoy the same privileges
of the American citizen. Yet thsre is q
party in this country that has inaugu-
rated policy which gives to the for
eigners equal privileges with the Ameri.
can producer. | say no, forever no. The
foreigner, 5000 miles away, owes no
allegiance to our flag and he does net
contribute one cent to the support and
maintenance of thia government, while
our people. not only do this, but when
occasion calls, contribute the best blood
OF their sons, their fathers, their hus-
bands, to preserve the nation OF FREQ
men,"
An interesting incident occurred
when Major Mckinley began q reply to
q speech made in Madison by Senator
Villas.
II was handed" he began. "as came
into this hall, copy of speech made
by Senator Villas in this city on the Sth
day of last September"
A scene of confusion ensued. Some
one espied Villas seated in an obscure
place on stairway near the stage and
several OF the audience yelled derisively
at him and some cried out put him
out"
The governor. after some effort quiet
ed the disturbance and proceeded. He
paid high compliment to the first ad-
ministration Of President Cleveland in
these worda:
almost from the first hour, within
three months. reducing expenditures
and assuring public confidence began to
manifest their good effect and with
growing vigor rose the great public
business prosperity which continued to
mark the entire residue OF that admin
stration as the happiest period OF busi-
ness activity, development and success
in all directions since the war, or since
the advent OF Republcanism in finan-
ces. The laws which President Cleve-
land was administering were the laws
made by the Republican party"
This sally was followed by prolonged
cheering.
81 call attention to the further fact
that we were then operating under the
protective tariff law of 1885, and all that
President Cleveland during his term of
office did was to execute laws and the
Republican processes. The reason we
had prosperity during those four years
was that the Democratic party was
powerless to change Republican pur-
poses and Republican laws"
Darkness fell soon after the train left
Madison and the run TO Milwaukee was
In 70 Lei,
there were crowde at several OF the sta
tions, to whom Mckinley showed him
self. The speaking here tonight was in
Schlitz park. which had an audience of
several thousand, fully up to the high
eat mark of enthusiasm set by any of
the western audiences. A special train
took the governor to Chicago at IL 80.
