Days Campaign In Nebraska.

Howard, S. D., Oct. 19.-At Madison
one Of the largest crowds gathered since
| the special train reached South Dakota
greeted Senator Hanna's party.
Senator Hanna, who spoke for about
ten minutes. repeated the statement he
made in Ohio, that if it could be shown
that in a single instance he had denied
hearing to one of his 5000 employees
or mad refused to consider any grievance
presented by a single man or a com
m1ttee from a labor organization he
would resign from the United States
senate, because since the Republican
party has called me once more to the
responsible position of managing the
campaign I feel that I have the right
and 1t is my duty to tell the people of
my country that when Mr. BRYAN and
his demagogical supporters go before
the people of this country and call me a
labor crusher that it is not true and |
leave to the ladies whether I have horns
or not, said Mr.. Hanna, amid laughter
WoonsOcket, S. D.. Oct. 19-HoWard
the county seat of Minor county. and the
center of a strong POpulist community
was the next stop. The crowd here was
rather small and shouts for Bryan min
gled with cheers which greeted Senator
Hanna He urged the audience to forget
former party affiliations and consider
the personal interests of themselves and
their families; whether present condi-
tfOns We're not the best.
Sioux Falls, S D., Oct. 19.-Woon-
socket turned out large crowd to hear
the Republican leaders, many farmers
with their harvest hands driving in for
distances of twenty miles. At Mitchell
the county seat of Dawson county the
largest crowd had gathered since SEN
ator Hanna spoke at Madison, Wis. The
meeting was made a gala day in Nit
chell. and excursion trains from points
within fifty miles brought hundreds of
outsiders Here Senator Hanna made
an emphatic denial of the reports con
cerning Governor Roosevelt's trip
through the west He said:
I am sorry that those who are lead
ing the opposition have so far forgotten
the dignity which surrounds the high
office of the presidency of this great ma
tion as to descend, as Mr.. Bryan has,
into personal abuse. / say that it is an
exhibition of small appreciation Of the
high Office TO which he aspires to de-
scend to public lying from the rostrum
every day. Why, my friends, when Gov
ernor Roosevelt was in your state, that
young champion of liberty, honesty and
good government, man who has dis
played his courage upon the battlefield,
a man who through all his public life
has been devoted to the highest prin-
cipies of reform in government, a man
whose chief characteristics are known
everywhere, his name known to be in
tegr5ty and abflity-son1e Of the Sian
derous speakers of this state insulted
YOU by saying that Governor Roosevelt
was intoxicated while he was in South
Dakota"
AT Alexandra ana BrldgeWater small
crowds of farmers were briefly ad
dressed. At Parker. where the train
stopped for twenty minutes, brass
band and a salute from a small cannon
greeted the speakers Here Senator
Hanna had some fun with his audience
Say" bawled farmer in the audience
Mr.. Hanna. if you have not got horns
why .s it that you can rip the Demo-
cratic and Populist parties UP the back

Amid the laughter that followed, Mr.
Hanna replied:
Wen, don't know. The only answer
I guess is that I always tell the truth
and people believe me-
Handshaking followed the speech, and
Mr.. Hanna had to fairly fight his way
to the train. At Lennox the crowd was
decidedly Democratic. A number OF
young ladies waved flags and shouted
s'Hurrah for Bryant" as the train
pulled in and acclamatlons Of the Dem
ocratic candidate were given at the
conclusion of the addresses. A fifteen
minute stop was made at Canton just
