tainly never. All these things may
crafty greediness for sudden gain or
the raShneSS of strong speculation, but
they can bring nothing but injury and
distress to the homes of patient indus

plause)
Three cheers were again given for
Major Mckinley when he had concluded,
and the nominee went through the or
deal of shaking hands with the entire
company.
FROM THE HOOSIER STATE.
AT O'Clock the last delegation of the
day arrived. 1t filled ten coaches, and
was composed Of 600 members of the
Mckinley Clubs of Elkhart County, In
diana.
James Dodge of Elkhart made brief
address to Major Mckinley, who said
Il cannot forget, as l stand in the
presence Of an Indiana audience, that it
was your State that produced that
splendid soldier and statesman and il
lustrious President, Benjamin Harri-
son tremendous applause), whose ad
minstration for four years of the Gov
ernment has few parallels in the his
tory Of our country. Honest, strong,
NIoC, pdlIlOllc, american, an AOlnlnlS-
tration that stood by the good doctrines
of the Republican party, and that never
turned it's back upon the glorious stars
and stripes and the men who sustained
them during the four years of civil war.
| (Applause) We would be glad to be
back in those four years under the Ad-
m1nlstratiOn of President Harrison,
| years of the highest and greatest pros
| perlty to the American people, when
every shop was open, when every fac
| tory was running, when every busy
| thriving city of this land was active in
nts enterprises and in its industries. 1t
| has not been so in the last four years
| (Cries of No, you bet it has not.")
You remember that in 1892 the cam
paign was filled with glitering prom
| ises; everything good was to come to
| this country if would only turn the
| Republican party out of power and put
| the Democratic party in; free trade was
| to relieve us of every i'll or evil that had
ever settled upon this country; protec-
tion was a robbery, was unconstitution-
| al, was a fraud and ought to be re-
| pealed; and that if that party was only
given power in this country they would
| repeal that law and then we would enter
upon an era of prosperity the like Of
which we had never known before. And
the people put that party in power, and
| the splendid prosperity we have had
since you know all about loud laugh
| ter and applause.)
| "We are not asking too much, my fell
| low-citizens, when we ask for an Amer
/ lean policy that shall protect the
American people in their occupations
and their employment, are we? loud
cries of MOI The people of this coun-
try never wanted a chance to vote so
badly in their lives as now (applause),
and under our form of Government it
will only be about siy weeks to-day un-
| til from one end Of the country to the
other will have that chance-and how
viii you improve it, my fellow -citizens? 3?
| (Cries of Elect McKinley.") 1 say that
| 1t is not very much to ask that we re-
| store the American system, for this is
| our country-it is nobody else's but
Ours-and If we do not make it what we
want it it is our fault, and think the true
policy of the people or this country is
to protect the men who owe allegiance to
| that flag first pointing to the stars
and stripes amid tremendous applause),
and who will fight aye. die for it if
need be, to preserve it (great cheer
| ing) and so I think the protective prin-
ciple is settled in the way have pointed
out, and in the way Of putting it into
public law you will have a chance to
settle that next November" "a voice.
We will give you chance to settle it,
and laughter and applause)
