people Three evening meetings were arranged

diences All day at the various stopping places

usual interest attended the meetings. Governor

said in part:
II cannot say how have enjoyed the privi-
Ieges of coming through your great and beauti-
full and wonderful State. and now to be in what
is the most famous mining city of the entire
habitable globe. Glad though I am to see your
State with it's varied resources. with mountain
and plain, with mine and ranch. 1 am moro
pleased still to see the men and women who
made It what II is. When I come out here
among you l feel that l come not to teach you
Americanlsm but to teach you the doctrine OF
work of honorable striving and honorable eff
fort and to follow where you have led the way.
l want you to think for yourselves.
Surprising that the Republican party had done
abandon the Philippines? They would now be
denouncing us in extravagant terms and blam-
ing us all OF them. from Mr.. Bryan down. In
that case they would have been as right as
they are wrong now. ] come before YOU 10 sup
port the principles which we present upon two
great grOunds-upon the ground of selt-lnterest
of each and all of us and upon the ground or
our feeling for that symbol Of greatness, the
American flag that floats over us all Remem-
Der that in this union there can be no division
of either honor or interest on State lines we
all go up go down together
We will go up or go down as regards material
prosperity and we will hang our heads or hold
them high accordingly the American flag
does or does not stand in the future as 1t stood
in the past, as a symbol of honor. of greatness.
of truth and liberty. When, in 1893. hard times
came they came in New-YOrk Colorado and
California alike When in 1897. prosperity re-
turned it returned to the Rocky Mountains. as
it returned to the seaboard States of the At
lantic and Pacific. 1t returned to the FARMER,
the ranchman, the wage Garner, precisely as
much as to the business man Ihere can pc no
permanent lines Of well being on the one hand
for some of people and adversely on the
other hand for the rest Of our people. Funda-
mentally we will go up or down alike Now.
when it comes 10 the question of the honor OF
the flag the same considerations hold true.

There has been some talk as to what the para

self-respect and respecting our fellows; keeping
