six thousand listened to Senator Hanna at

they made a rush for the cars. There was
band present. and it played patriotic
air as the party proceeded between two
solid walls of people to the platform. The

bright October sun that seemed to smile
on the gathered throng. 1t was a great
congregation of people that faced the stand
when Senator Hanna walked up the steps
and sat down. Senators Fairbanks and
Beveridge and other members of the party
took seats on the platform with the Evans
Vile committee. The people cheered and
hurrahed as they got sight of the Ohio
statesman.

tive Hemenway. who spoke briefly. en-
diana is honored to-day by the presence
of Senator Hanna" he said 1--WE all love
him. and / now present him to you''
If there had ever been any doubt about
the manner in which Senator Hanna would
be received in Indiana by people of all
parties is was disspated during his Ev-
ansville speech. As he arose and stepped
to the front of the platform a great cheer
went up, and the senator bowed smiling
acknowledgment. His reception was en-
thusiastic in Evansville from start to fin
ish. Senator Hanna spoke as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Fellow-citizens of
indiana am deeply grateful for this cor
dial reception. / take this outpouring of
| the people to mean that all classes of peo-
| the issues and results of this campaign.
| You all remember the dark days from 1893
| to 1897 You well remember that great con-
yention in ST. Louis in 1896 when the princi-
| pies of the Republican party were given
| to the country-sound money and protec-
| tion-and upon that platform was placed
| that magnificent leader that great COM
moner and friend of the people, William
/, Mckinley. IApplause1 You all remember
of the United States and when the Ding
ley bill became a law that this whole coun-
try seemed to rebound under the influences
| of the hope that had come to the hearts of
All the @ people nrGnSrv EVERY promise d mage at St;
has been reiigiously and faithfully kept and
fulfilled by the Republican party. lap
| plause.1 And as result OF that we find
ourselves in the midst of the greatest era
| of prosperity that this country has ever
1 known. AS a result of that party lines
have been % dissipated pa , and S all good citizens

| united to sustain those principles and poll
| cies. lApplause.l
RESTS WITH VOTERS.
Now, my feuow-citizens, the time has
come when 1t rests with you TO say how
| long these conditions shall continue. The
| important issue in this campaign, of a na-
tionai character is whether the lower house
of Congress shall be kept as 1t is to-day, a
Republican body pledged to those principles
| and policies which have produced such
great results for the people, or whether
you will turn over to the opposition the
| power which is the root Of all the legisla-
| ton and which will determine whether the
| policies of Mckinley and Roosevelt shall be
| maintained or whether that great body
| shall be neutrality-suspicious. because we
, ali know that every method and policy OF
| the Republican party will be stopped, thai
| all measures tending to the progress of oul
development will be checked-whether oul
young and heroic President will be sus
te.1ed. That question rests with you.
I'm the very shadow of death that heroic
young man, speaking TO the American peo
and policies established by William McKin
ley GApplause.] He has steadfastly .ant
| energetically and honestly worked alons
those lines until the confidence of the peo
pie in his administration has been fully
/ established. / cannot believe IL possible
that the people of this State or any othel
will for a moment hesitate when they con
slider their own responsibilities and inter
ests. / say that il Is the highest duty o.
American citizenship to maintain thos
principles and policies which contribute
most to the welfare of the whole people.
I'm the last few years you have had tw,

| time in many years, the Democratic part,
had full control or our. government. legis
