President Mckinley at Omaha.

President McKinley's trip from
Washington to- Omaha was a con-
tinuOus ovation. Crowds assembled
at every point to- do honor to thena-
TONS chief. Fully loo, 900 people gath
cred at Omaha to greet him, and the
enthusiasm with which every word
was received that he uttered ia An
evidence of his strength among the
people. Not since the formation of
the government has there been a
more popular president or u more
lovable man in the executive chair.
His address at Omaha will rank
among the grandest u%tterances of the
century.
The following extract in reference
to the war is but a fair sample OF the
whole. He said:
1.-THE heroes of Manila and Santiago
and Porto Rico have made immortal
history. They are worthy successors
and descendants of Washington and
Greene, of Paul Jones, Decatur and
Hull and of Grant, Sherman, Slleri-
dan aud Logan; of Farragut, Porter
and Cushing, and of Lee, jackson
and Lonystreet.
New names stand out on the
honor roll of the nations great men,
and with them, unnamed, stand the
heroes of the trenches and f~orecastle,
in vincible in battle and uncOmplain-
ing in death. The intelligent, loyal,
indomitable soldier and sailor and
marine, regular and volunteer, are
entitled to equal praise as having
done their whole duty, whether at
fire.
"Who will dim the splendOrof their
achievements! Who will withhold
from them their well-earned distinc-
ton! Who will intrude detraction at
this time to belittle the manly spirit
of the American youth and impair
the usefulness of the American navy!
Who will embarrass the government
by sowing seeds of dissatisfaction
among the brave men who stand
ready to serve and die. if need tie, for
their country! Who will darken the
counsels of the republic in this hour
requiring the united wisdom Of all!
Shall we deny to ourselves what the
rest of the world SD freely and SO
Justly accords to us?
1.-THE men who endured in the short
but decisive struggle its hardships.
it's privations, whether in the field or
camp, on ship OF in the siege. and
planned and achieved it's victories,
will never tolerate impeachment,
either direct or indirect, of those who
won a a whose great gain tt civ
ilization is yet unknown and unwrit-
ten"
