YANKTON, S. d., Sept 1.-THE demon
stration here this evening in honor of Gov
ernor Roosevelt's arrival was almost un-
equaled in the history of the small city.
The place was crowded with an immense
throng. A torchlight procession and a pa
rade were the features of the evening. In
the mounted escort were a number Of In
dians, clad in their native costumes, with
blankets and feathers and painted faces.
Addresses were made by Governor Roose-
welt and Curtis Guild, of Boston. At II
o'clock the special train pulled out for the
West. 1t will make eight stops tomorrow.
The Governor made a brief speech at
Madison to-day, in which some of the argu-
ments used in preceding addresses were
reiterated. He said that in the days of
the civil war the people were asked to vote
as they shot. South Dakota has been rep
resented in the Philippines by men who
not only reflected honor on South Dakota,
but upon all the Nation. 81 ask" he said,
that in this campaign South Dakota votes
the way her men shot in the Philippines,
and not in the way that one of her sena-
tors has talked. You cannot get prosperity
by any cheap patent device. Many things
go to make it up. 1t is hard enough to
make a farm pay. 1t is the easiest thing in
the world to make it not pay 1t is so with
the government. Folly in legislation can
ruin the best efforts of the best of men,
Unsettle our currency, and make it so that
no man knows what he is paying or what
he is receiving, and you cannot hope to
succeed.
II ask the support of you people of South
Dakota for the reelection of Mr.. Mckinley
because 1 feel that the interests of the
country are vitality concerned. 1 ask your
support for the sake of our material we'll
being; 1 ask it for the sake of upholding
our standard of civic honesty; and 1 ask
that you stand with us exactly as you
stood behind Lincoln in 1860 and 1864, be-
cause we are doing the work of a great ma
ton and upholding the honor of the flag
in the face of all the nations OF mankind" !"
SPEECH TO SOLDIERS.
AT Flandreau Governor Roosevelt ap-
peared at the rear platform of his private
car and was introduced by Gen. NJ. Grigs-
by. of this State. Col. Roosevelt said in
part:
'I don't have to make an appeal that
that you don't finch from seeing the
United States doing its duty in the face
of the nations of the world You men have
built up this country You who have filled
this land with prosperous homes and smil-
ing fields, are not afraid of seeing this
Nation do its work You and the men of
the Grand Army--you men who have passed
through the great war-as you look back
in your life, what are the four years that
you are especially anxious to hand down
as heritage of honor. and as a memory
Are hnxyr ranf he 60.
that you served in the army in the civil
war? IA voice: That is SOL
I'VE are proud of America because what
has been done in the past by Americans.
We have proved ourselves worthy of our
| existance as a nation. Why are you here
| to-day? 1t Is because you have expanded.
| You recollect in 1880, ten years ago, when
| the Ogallalah outbreak occurred between
| here and the Black Hills, you put the regu-
| lars here until that outbreak was sap
| pressed. Did you feel that you were inl-
| perialists when you did that. They were
| just exactly as much imperialists then
| as the men who are fighting in the Philip
| pines are now. If Judge Taft and his as
sociates. and General Macarthur and Gen.
| eral Wheaton and their associates are i.n-
| perialists. then every Indian agent and
| every officer on every reservation in these
| States is an imDerialist now.

/ ings this afternoon-one in the Auditorium
