in the cities and counties mentioned was never
more manifest than 1t to-day. They will
all give unusually large Republican pluralities.
Governor Roosevelt's train left Utica at
O'Clock this morning. There fog and the
day looked dreary, but in an hour the sun began
shining through the mist and afterward
there was a bright blue sky and the suns rays
came down warmly. The special train ran for
finest dairy regions in the State This extends
from Utica to watertown, covering the counties
of Oneida, Oswego and jefferson. The chief
source OF the prosperity of the farmers Of these
counties is the sale of butter and cheese. The

welt praised the administration of his Office by
the Attorney General dwelling emphatically
upon his earnest prosecution of the suits against
the Ice Trust The train then sped on 10 Water

and they will vote unanimously for Mckinley

two years and we are asked to surrender it to

NO no. not much!" answered back man in
the crowd, and there was roar of applause.
The Governor then continued: II wish you to
compare the absolute honesty Of the manage

farm values is thus $7O0,O00.O00, or about 40
per cent. Mr.. Bryan says you are not getting
your share of the prosperity. If 40 per cent is
not the farmers share. the country's prosperity
as whole must therefore have been phenom
