PEOPLE WEARY OF DEMOCRACY.

speeches which Governor Mckinley has
been making are bearing fruit, for at
every one of the stations, where crowds
assembled to hear him, there are liberal
displays of flags, of which the Governor
SAYS so much. This has been especially
no iceable 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
fve-mile drive across the Missouri River
to Council Bluffs, where Mckinley found
al 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, Tecumseh Sherman and
Colonel Hugh Belknap, who had an inter-
change of fraternal greetings with Nc
Kinley.
From a stand erected 10 front of the
hotel Governor Jackson introduced the
Governor to the several thousand pen-
pie. After commenting on the interest
shown by the men congregating thus early
to hear political speech. Governor Nc
kinley said: You have an opportunity to
vote now 10 express your opinion of
the work of the Democratic admins
tration. The people of this coun-
try have experienced revolution liz
political sentiment. There has not
been anything like it in American his
tory. The Democratic party carried the
country III 1892, but in every election in
every Northern State since the verdict
then given has been revoked and the
people have spoken in thGnderous tones
for the Republican party and the prin-
MI of hot rtu bot Ic
OF this revolution? The Democratic
President and the Democratic Congress
lave been running this Government for
the last nineteen months. and during that
time little has been accom- plished. Every
industry has been distressed and every
occupation has been injuriously affected.
We need prosperity. and ne prosperity of
one occupation depends upon the pros
perity of every other. You are prosperous
in the agricultural 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 position it so Iong occupied as one
of the banner Republican States of the
Union"
Council Bluffs was left at {: 40 O'Clock,
the Governors party being taken charge
of by Mr. Charles Kenery, general North
ern passenger agent of the Rock Island
road, who acts as escort as far as Des
Meines.
DIES MONIES, Oct. "a queer incident
occurred at Nicola, where several hundred
stood around the car of Governor Nc
Kinley giving him entirely respectful
attention. When the train started, how
ever, instead of giving the usual parting
cheer the whole crowd, with few excep-
tions began to shout, 'Hurrah for Wea-
ver," the Populist candidate for Congress
in the Council Bluffs District. 1t was ex-
planned that Nicola was a particularly
strong center of Populism.
At AvOca long stop was made and Gov
ernor Mckinley left the car to speak from
platform to the several thousands as
sembed. He claimed that 90 per cent of
the products of agriculture in this country
were consumed in this country and the
other 10 per cent goes abroad. The Re-
publican party is looking after the 80 per
cent; the Democratic party gives its atten-
ton to the 10 per cent.
Two thousand men were waiting at At
lantic to hear Mckinley. Stops of one or
two minutes were made along the route,
aud every place there was a crowd that in.
sisted upon hearing word from the Gov
ernor. The private car of General Dodge
was attached 10 the train al Council Bluffs,
and in it as guests of General Dodge were
Colonel Fred Grant. Tecumseh Sherman,
Major Hoyt Sherman and General How
ard 1t became known along the route
that the sons OF Generals Grant and Sher-
man were aboard the train and they were
compelled to show themselves, and at sew
eral points to say few words. Governor
Jackson accompanied Governor Mckinley
from Council Bluffs to Des Moines.
Governor McKiuley's reception in Des
Mones was extraordinary. He was fol
lowed from the depot to the hotel by
thousands. who surrounded his carria ge
and kept up continuous yell. which was
Joined by other thousands that packed the
sidewalks. Colonel Grant came in for a
share of attention. especially from the
Grand Army Of the Republic veterans.
They searched the carriages until they
located Colonel Grant. then shook his
hands with vigor that approached vio-
lence. Governor Mckinley made two
speeches, the first at the Tabernacle and
the other at the opera-house, both OF
which were literally packed. Thousands
were unable to obtain admission. The
Grant Republican Club entertained the
notaples at a banquet after the speech
making was concluded. The early train
viii be taken for st. Paul in the morning.
