GREETING FROM ILLINOIS.
Mai. McKinley-In behalf of these citizens
here assembled, beg leave to say we come
from the great State Of Illinois; from the
state that gave to the Union the immortal
Lincoln, the glory OF whose life is ever
shining in the skies as a rainbow OF hope
and promise to all those who love liberty and
their fellow men. We came from the state
that first gave to the service of the Union that
Incompatible soldier, Gen. Grant who. in
our country's greatest struggle for national
unity, led our armies to a glorious victory
and triumphant peace. We came from the
state whose history is rich with glorious
memories of great men and great achieve
ments, in peace and war. We come from a
state with proud cities by lake and river,
with broad prairies of fertile fields and farms
from state rich in agricultural products
with great manufacturing and mining in
dustries, and with commercial interests that
reach every state In the Union, and extend
all around the world; from that state, the
life of whose people exhibits such variety Of
industrial pursuits such activity along
many lines of social development as to typify
in large degree, that spirit of national in
dependence and advancement which the re-
publican party has always sought to infuse
into the life of the whole nation.
The people of this country are divided into
two political parties. We are in the midst
of a great contest, wherein these parties are
struggling with each other for the control Of
the destiny of this country. You have been
selected as the leader and standard-bearer of
one of these parties. Thoughtful, earnest and
patriotic men, irrespective of past political
Affiliations regard the issues of this cam
paign being serious that their settlement
involves crisis in our country's history. We
are confronted with dangers so grave, so far
reaching that no man can measure the evil
consequences that will follow, if our people
make mistake.
In the past the State of Illinois has always
stood close to the Union, and her people have
tain the honor and glory of our country On
many battlefield her sons have fought and
struggled in many grave they sleep who
died that their country might live.
We come to you today representing every
walk of life; from the counting room the
office, the factory, the railroad, the mine the

love of our country that is stronger than mere
pride Of party; that reaches out beyond the
limits of our own state; that knows no sec
tion, North, South. East West. We come
to express our good will fo~ you personally
to express our confidence and faith in YOU as
leader, and to give you the assurance that
the State of Illinois still stands as she al
ways has stood in every crisis of our eountry's
history for national honor, for the advance
ment and utilization of all the elements of
national life in our midst for the protection
of our homes, our home interests and for the
largest share OF prosperity that always comes
with that protection. Illinois stands for all
the institutions of the government that our
fathers established. She stands for honest
money and the faithful performance of all
our contracts. public or private. The infiu-
ence Of Illinois win be exerted to keep our
