LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 2.--For some days
preparations have been made for a mon
ster Republican demonstration at this
place, the home of Bryan and the capital of
the State. The demonstration took place
to-day. The line of march of the carriages
from the station to the Statehouse
square, something over a mile and a half,
was lined with people everywhere and the
wide streets We're filled almost the entire
distance to such an extent that in many
places it impeded the passage of the car
riages and the mounted escort.
Arriving at the Capitol square, Governor
Roosevelt was conducted to a reviewing
stand on the street, and grand procession
passed in review. occupying more than an
hour. There were many unique and anus
ing features in this parade. One was the
number of women on foot that took part in
it. First came about forty young women of
the city in uniforms of blue, occupying
place in the column of march. At long in
tervals came two other troops of women in
uniform. The Ida Mckinley Club, num-
bering about fifty women. wore an outer
garment of stars and stripes, the stripes
forming the skirt of the dress and the blue
background with the stars made into
shirtwaist. One marching column bore this
banner: Third Nebraska: o.. Billy. why
did you leave us? The Union Veteran
Republican League containing some hun
dred and fifty members, carried huge
horseshoe for luck. They had a banner
bearing this inscription: I'VE helped Abra-
ham Lincoln in 1860. We are helping Nc
Kinley. now
Another banner: -Four generations for
Mckinley and Roosevelt, father son, grand
son and great-grand son."
Another read: For sale: One enlarged
front porch. w. ]. b.
German club passed holding aloft
dinner pail filled with bread and sausage.
The Lincoln travelling men, 500 strong,
bore this banner: Vim, vigor and vic
tory
Another: Eight more years of the full
dinner pail; four for Mckinley and four
tor Teddy"
One of the amusing features was
double-headed calf, the skin stuffed with
| the tail on the head. with this motto: 1.-THE
result of fusion; it died.
After the procession had passed in re-
view, Governor Roosevelt was conducted to
| a speakers stand, where he addressed as
many of the crowd around the stand as
| his strong voice would reach. He spoke for
| three-quarters of an hour going over the
same ground in his remarks that he has
| traversed before upon the issues of ex-
| pansion. militarism, imperialism and pa
| triotsm.
At the conclusion of his speech. on his
| way from the stand to the carriage, he
| was fairly mobbed by the eager crowd who
| wished to shake his hand. He reached his
| carriage somewhat battered in appearance,
| but in fine spirits on account of the ex-
| tent and fervidness of the reception The
| train pulled out for Plattsmouth. where
an evening meeting was held. The evening
| meeting at Plattsburg was also great
| success in point of numbers and interest
! This meeting closed the days itinerary
Governor Roosevelt's first stop was at
Lexington, where he answered a recent
| criticism by Mr.. Bryan. He said:
Last week. at Blair, this State, Mr.. Bryan
| spoke of what l had said about the ice
trust. His speech was reported as follows:
| That if Governor Roosevelt right in
| this matter the remedy lies with himself.
| as Governor Of the State in which the trust
was supposed to exist, as he possessed the
| power to destroy it,
THAT is hardly correct as a matter of
| governmental knowledge. / cannot call
| out the militia to destroy trust. What
| can be done is to have the Legislature pass
| and the Governor sign law to do away
with the trust, and then have the attorney
| general proceed under that law to enforce
| it according to the best of his capacity.
Now, are not those the only things that
| can be done? Well, / have done them
both. In the first year of my term as Gov
| ernor we passed a very severe antitrust
| law. and now the attorney general is pro-
| ceeding under that law against the ice
trust The difficulty comes in the delay
| caused by the trusts counsel. as
they are appealing. as they have
a right to appeal to every legal technical
| ity. and are making every effort TO stop a
decision on the merits of the case. The
| people who are responsible for the action
| of the trusts counsel are the stockholders
| of the trust. who are, among others, Mr..
| Richard Croker. the leader Of the Demo-
| Wyck. who was my opponent for Governor
| or New York two years ago. running on an
antitrust platform. and who is now one Of
] the biggest stockholders In the ice trust.
/ THE Republican attorney general is
| pressing that action in every way under
the law, introduced by a Democrat, but
| passed by a Republican Legislature. and
/ signed by myself. We are opposed by Mr.
| Bryan's ardent supporters in New York.

| State. Our opponents In New York city

| yet have private ownership I'm them Now
| as / have answered that question, / wish
| MT. Bryan WOulu enIgnten us on the point
| as to whether. IL he comes into Office he
| will pay the obligations OF the Nation I'm
