intended to send the bust here by the Re-
publican Club of the Chicago University.

the presentation, said:
I've come as the representatives OF a
host of young Republicans who are en-
rolled in our colleges to-day. We come be-
cause we are patriotic, because the modern
college man takes an especial interest in all
that pertains TO the welfare of his coun-

Club of the University of Chicago, pre-
sented TO Major Mckinley the masterpiece
of the artist, Hans Hirsch. of Chicago. In

Mr.. Ickes and Gentlemen-It gives me
very great pleasure to meet the mi
from the Republican Club of the Cniver-
sity Of Chicago and | cannot forbear TO
say that if the Republican party is to con-
tinue its progress of power and usefulness
1t must be done through the conscience
and intelligence of the people. 1t is, in
deed, a good omen to find the young gen.
tlemen of the many colleges Of the United
States Joining themselves in Republican
organization TO sustain Republican princi-

country that SO many of them are en-
listed this year for the principles of good
government for which our party stands. /

There was considerable anxiety in oul
State at first after the nomination of Mr.
Bryan as TO the result of the election in
our State. but that has largely passed
away and is rapidly dying out. We nc
longer feel doubtful as to where Nebraska

familiar with it's politics. We realize tina
we have a hard fight, but we are like Gen
Grant in this. that when we have some.
thing difficult 10 do we are the most de.
termined to succeed. The Republican lead
