the purpose of appearing at the inaug-
uration. In his inaugural address,, the
governor spoke of the progress of the
closing century and used Mr.. thinner
as an Illustration to show what had
been accomplished since birth.
William thinner was born in Scllo-
harie county, New York, April 10. 1893.
He came west early in life, locating in
eastern Illinois He came to Clinton

Opera House.
Special to Times Republican
Sac City, Oct. 9.-Tuesday was Dolli-
yer day at Sac City. The senator spoke
in the afternoon to crowded opera
house. not nearly all the people being
able to gain admission. After q brief
introduction by the chairman, Miles w.
Newly, the senator took as the text for
his address the life and character of
William Mckinley. and while the speech
was not strictly a partisan one yet there
was enough politics to suit the time and
the occasion. and it was iust such a
speech as the people wanted to hear.
State politics was not touched upon,
but the reciprocity. economic and flnan-
cial policies of the Mckinley adminis-
trations were upheld and cited as sue
cessful administrations of republican
principles.
The democrats having no county tick
ct in the field and the county being
about 1000 republican majority the re-
suit of the address of the senator will be
of more lasting good than any partisan
speech at this time he could have made.
