enthusiasm of the people in every town
would not allow 1t. In some respects tbs
journey TO Chicago was a repetition of the
first stage OF the journey through Wis
consin yesterday. but il differed in respect
to the character of the people encountered
These who listened to the President this
morning were not principally farmers and
their families. but were men in the fac
tories. SchooIchildren were conspicuous
here, as everywhere on the Presidents tour,
and invariably they carried flags and waved
them and cheered.
Mr.. Mckinley made his first speech after
leaving Milwaukee at Racine. Mechanics
and laborers were the Presidents most en-
thusiastic hearers. although many women
and children were there. In his Racine
speech the President said:
Il have no sympathy with that senti-
ment which would divide my country into
. classes I have no sympathy with that
sentiment that would put the rich man
! on one side and the poor man on the
/ other: labor on one side and capital on
( the other because all Of them are equal
Z before the law, all of them have equal
I power in the conduct OF the Government.
I Every mans vote in the United Staees is
( the equal Of every other on that supreme

Z crosses and Governors and Legislatures.
Our citizens may accumulate great wealth
and many of them do, but they cannot take
ii with them: nor can they entail il from
! generation to generation. He who in
herits must keep it by his own prudence
or sagacity. If he does not it is divided
up among his fellows.
a similar large gathering was waiting
for the Presidents arrival at Kenosha.
! The train waited four or FIVE minutes
while the President made his address.
Mr.. Mckinley had this TO say at Wauke-
4 gan:
Il think I know-I am sure 1 know
what is uppermost in every mind here to-
day. You are net thinking Of your country
and of its interests here al home-for with
them you are fairly satisfied and feel that
they are secure. You are thinking OF the
vast interests OF the Government in the
new possessions which have come to US by
the fortunes of war. Your hearts go out
4 to the brave men in the distant islands OF
the Pacific, where they are maintaining
the sovereignty of the United States over
a territory ceded 10 US by Spain by treaty
I which has the solemn sanction not only of
( the raufying power of the Senate, but of
the entire Congress of the United States
Il cannot. nay fellow citizens, misread
4 your purpose and your conception of pub
I
+ lie duty. / am endeavoring as | am
bound TO do by the Constitution of the
T United States, TO execute the laws in every
( foot OF territory that belongs TO US. Re-
bellion has been raised against your au-
( thority in territory that is as
much cur own as is Alaska or the
Y District OF Columbia. or any territory Of
4 the United States, and that rebellion will
be put down and the authority OF the
United States viii be made supreme Some
+ people say the President is carrying on
an unholy war in the PhiIippines-an un-
holy war to uphold the holy banner of the
free, which those children carry in their
hands and which represents the sovereign
I ty Of the Republic against those who are
attacking H. The people OF the United
States never had an appeal made to duty
which was in vain
