members of his cabinet, who are with
him, and the cheers for Secretaries
Bliss, Gage and Postmaster General
Smith, were almost as hearty as those
given for the president.
At Hastings President Mckinley
spoke as follows: 1T has given me

going to have new markets"

skilled workmen, we have genius for in
vention, and in the last 80 years we
have achieved commercial triumphs,

of the last five months glorious in our
victories, and more glorious in the re-
suits which are to follow them. We
are fortunate in the virtue of our peo-

we must stand united until every set
