 When the presidential party ascended the platform, band struck up ''The Star Spangled Banner and from 12,000 throats cheers went up for the president of the United States. MT. McKinley's speech at this point was one of the best of the day. Secretaries Bliss and Gage also spoke briefly.
 Following is MT. McKinley's speech:
 Substantial Perosprity
 "I do not know a period of our history when the country enjoyed more real sub- stantial prosperity than it does today. The job hunts the man now, not the man the job and where that condition exists labor is always better rewarded.
 Tn every one of the great industries of the country we are feeling a degree of prosperity which gives new hope to all our people. Not only are the people req sonably prosperous, but the government in which you are all interested, is alike prosperous. We have had no bad luck late- ly. Great applause.) Our financial con- dition was never better than it Is now. Our national credit was never so high as it Is now, and the people of the United States were we'll enough off when the government wanted s200, 100000 and for a bond at a lower rate of interest than was ever float ed by the government of the United States before, and our revenues are not troubling us any more. We have got along fairly well thus far, thanks to the patriotism of the American people, and thanks to the valor and courage and heroism of the boys of Iowa and of the citizens of the United States.
 Have Been United My fellow citizens, I want to leave an- other point with you and that is that we have been united and therefore strong and invincible in war. We must continue united until the end of the struggle. We must have no differences with somebody else. and when we have made that settle ment in the interest of justice and clvili- zation and humanity then we can resume our old domestic differences if we want to. (AIore applause)
 But want to say that In all the trying months through which we have just passed the president of the United States had the faithful sunport of the representatives of

The Democrats will assemble in conference
this evening. They have troubles of their

The Gilberton and Lost Creek people are
wondering if the Democratic postmssters
are TO be allowed TO serve another four years.
These commissions expired almost three

The Democrats, in anticipation Of a victory
next Tuesday, are picking out the choice

ANOTHER HOTEL R
The Mt. Carmel House Destroyed Early
This Morning.

hhV HNs WI Nv houHN DtHNiONth hhill
This Morning.
Mt. Carmel, Feby. S.-The Mt. Carmel
House was destroyed by fire early this morn
ing. Flames were discovered by the night
Waterman on the second floor, near the head
of the main stairway, of the building. They
spread with lightning rapidity through the
large frame structure and many narrow
escapes from death by the occupants are re-
ported.
The fire started shortly after three o'clock
and there were over seventy guests in the
house. Fortunately none lost their lives and
no one was seriously injured. Three women
had their hands injured by sliding down
ropes from the windows of the burning
building.
The building and all its contents we're
entirely destroyed. The loss on the build
ing and furniture amounts to about $40. 600.
The losses sustained by guests have not been
estimated. The hotel had about forty per-
manent guests. The origin of the fire has
not been discovered.
The Mt. Carmel House was an immense
fOur-story frame structure. 1t was erected
about fifty years ago and at first used as a
land office building by the Girard Estate.
The structure had a width of about rs feet
and a depth of about 100 feet. 1t was located
in the center of a plot of ground about six
hundred feet square. About two years ago
the property was purchased by the Brad gan
Bros, of Shenandoah, and they leased
it to Richard Boelcke, of this place.
Thu management has been very successful
especially since the destruction of the Com
mercial Hotel by fire a month ago. The
Mt. Carmel House secured nearly all the
trade the former place had.
Mr.. T. +. Bradigan, one of the owners of
the Mt. Carmel House, left town this morn
ing to Wow the remains and recapitulate.
He was interviewed by a HERALD reporter
before his departure this morning and said
the loss on the property would amount to
between SIS, 900 and 100000. There was no
insurance on the building. OF the contents
the Bradigsn Bros. owned only the bar
fixtures. The hotel furnishings belonged to
Mr.. Boelcko.
Although the building was erected many
years ago it was still in a we'll preserved con.
dition and excellently adapted for hotel pur.
poses. The Bradigan Bros. it is understood,
paid SIS, 900 for the property, but they spent
several thousand dollars in alterations and
improvements.
