ST. Louis, Oct. 14.-President Nc.
Kinley and party arrived here this
morning.
He was accorded a great reception to-
day.
Before leaving Omaha he made
brief speech to the crowd.
He also spoke across the river at Coun-
ell Bluffs.
AS the train proceeded eastward
through Iowa the throngs of people
seemed to increase at every point. At
some points after he had finished speak
ing Mr. Mckinley presented TO the peo-
pie the members of the cabinet who are
with him, and the cheers for Secretaries
Bliss, Gage and Wilson and Postmaster
General Smith were almost as hearty
as those given for the president. At
Hastings three little girls presented
him with flowers. He shook hands
with some of the people. Before the
train started, reaching far out over the
railing, he took the outstretched hand
of a lady who must have been rs years
old. She said to him: "Mr. President,

life"
The remarks of President Mckinley
at Hastings were as follows:
"MY FELLOW CITIzENs-It has given
me great pleasure as have journeyed
drought this glorious state to observe
evidences both of patriotism and of
prosperity. We have pretty much
everything in this country to make it
happy. We have good money, we have
ample revenues, we have unquestioned
national credit, but what we want is
new markets, and as trade follows the
flag, it looks very much as if we were
going to have new markets"
At Red Oak, Ia, the president faced
crowd which was estimated at about
5000 people.
He referred in his speech to the death
of Ensign Merritt of the battleship
Maine, when the vessel was sunk in
Havana harbor. Merritt was from Red
Oak. Secretary Gage and Postmaster
General Wilson also spoke.
By far the largest and most vocifer-
Gus crowd gathered at Creston, la.
The population is only little more than
1000, but excursion trains marlborough
in many from neighboring points and
the result was mass of humanity esti-
mated at 10000 The president said in
part
II do not know a period of our his
tory when the country enjoyed more
real and substantial 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. In everyone of the
great industries of the country we are
feeling degree of prosperity which
gives new hope to all our people. Not
only are the people reasonably prosper
GUS, but the government in which you
are all interested is alike prosperous.
We have had no bad luck lately (great
applause) our financial condition was
never better than it is now.''
Further along in his speech he said.
''MY FELLOW CITIzENs-I want to
leave one other thought 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 this struggle. We must have no
differences among ourselves while we
are settling differences with somebody
else, and when we have made that set
Element in the interest of Justice and
civilization and humanity we can re-
sumo our domestic differences, if we
want to.
AT Burlington the president was taken
III carriage through the brilliantly
lighted streets and for about 20 blocks
was kept busy lifting his hat in response
to the wild cheers of the citizens of
Burlington. He had hard time get
ting back to the car through the crowd.
At Galesburg, Ills, the president
faced about 6, 000people. On the platform
with him stood Major General Shafter.
who was the orator at Galesburg's
peace jubilee.
At Charlton, Ia, the presidents re-
marks were particularly significant.
He said in part: "We have the people
of Hawaii that came to us free and in
dependent and asked to be annexed to
the United States. And, my fellow
citizens, wherever our flag floats, wher-
ever we raise that standard of liberty,
it is always for the sake of humanity
and the advancement of civilization.
Territory some times comes to us when
we go to war in holy cause, and when.
ever it does, the banner of liberty will
float over 1t and bring, trust, blessings
and benefits to all of the people,"
The northwestern party, that of Gen
eral Miles, went from Omaha to Chi
cago.
