Missouri party. Twelve-year-old Archie G.
Phillips presented Major Mckinley with a
small silken flag
Major Mckinley addressed the Missouri
delegation as follows:
My FelloW CitiZenS:-I can turn either
way this year and find Republicans. 1t
IS quite appropriate, and in no sense en-
barrassing to me, to speak conformity to
the people Of Missouri and Ohio. There is
one thing glorious about our campaign this
year-it is national in character and repre-
sents the best hopes and aspirations of the
american people everywhere. You are all
commercial travellers. and whether from
Missouri or from Ohio, you have had SINH
lar experiences. You leave your sample
cases at home now. II I should talk a
little longer, my fellow citizens of Ohio, to
my friends from Missouri, 1t is because 1
more frequently have an Opportunity to
talk to you than have to them
Il love my old state, the state of my
birth. love the public spirit and splen-
did energy OF the people Of our city on
the lake. And 1 have always liked Mis-
souri,, ard nothing has occurred this sum-
Her IN ST. Louis to make me change my
mind. 1 welcome you all here to my home
ana o'city. welcome the commercial trav-
eiers or st. Louis, the citizens of Missouri
ana welcome the Sound Money Club of
st. Louis, which is composed of men of
all political parties, who stand this year
ior the nonor or the government and the
integrity OF our financial system We are
all citizens of a common country. This
year. as In all the years of the future, l
trust, We have no North, no South, no
East, no West, but one Union forever
we have but one flag, like the one
prouGht to me by my young friend from
missouri. CMajor Mckinley here exhibited
small nag, which was followed by tre-
mendous cheering) 1t is the flag we all

mere To-day. Missouri, like Ohio needs
potection, sound money and public con-
hoehce. You have lis counties in your
state and 1 understand that there is no,
a single county that does not produce
ENC, iron. coal or lead beneath it's soil.
Mnat you want is the touchstone of con-
ndence which will bring business activity

Wiii the great commercial city Of St.

threads of trade and commerce, vote for a

This year patriotism is above party.
Men love their country more than they love
their old political associations. Men this
year would rather break with their party
than break up their business.
Now l am told that the Missourians
nave had nothing to eat since morning l
do not know how the Ohioans have Jared
but the average Ohioan always manages to
look out for his dinner My fellow citi-~
zens. Missourians and Ohioans 1 am glad
to meet you, and beg you will carry my
message of good will back to your homes.
cannot imagine anything that could hap-
pen to strengthen the American Union
more than to have the men of the South
and the men of the North come together
and jointly administer the government.
Let your verdict this year be for honest
money, public security. national tranquil
lity, protective tariff. and reciprocity;
and, above all, let there sound forth a YER
dict for this nation Of law and order, and
Its enthronement in every corner of the
republic. thank you all, and bid YOU
good afternoon" Great cheering, and three
cheers for McKinlay.)o ST. -, = : =
