When tho train arrived at Slsseton tho
rain was falling fast and an open air meet

and a crowd with umbrellas had assembled
to listen to tho speakers.
The governor attempted to talk, but his
sympathy for his hearers, who were bravely
standing In the downpour, caused him to de
sist. Ho entered a carriage and was driven
to tho opera house, whither the crowd fol
lowed him, and thero he spoke a few min
utes to the drenched nudlenco.
This Is on the border of the Sioux reser
vation and u largo number of Indians had
come Into the little town to listen and see
what was going on. On his return to tho

WRHSTBK. S. D., Sept. 14. The special

tho station here by an enthusiastic gather

rear platform, and said, In part:
There Is such a thing in honest oppon
Hon and there is a kind if opposition that
Is merely for the sake of oppo.-dng. Wc
have among our opponent?- many men who
honestly object to our policy. Take them
as a party and you know what they would
have done. If we had done as they haw
opposed us for not doing In th" I hlllpplo
they would have proclaimed us as having
abandoned our duty and would have been
running Mr. Hryan now m as to gut th
Philippines back. During the gloomy days
of "6 In order to overcome the eneniie-.
of the republic ymi had to uphold the hands
of Abraham Lincoln and as you remember
well, no defeat that could have been In
lllcled on the national nrmies m the Held
would have been us disastrous in the caus
as the defeat of Lincoln ut the polls
Yet at thut time the party whose po
litical heirs and assigns Mr. Hryan Is
was denouncing Abraham Lincoln In terms
which mnke the language used by our op
ponents about President McKlnley see.n
like praise. They used the vilest language
In describing him personally, they accused
him of the desire to be an emper r- th'y
had not invented Hie term Imperially nt
that time, they Just culled him plain em
peror The language of their denunciation
huh thnt If wc wer.' mccmsful we would
meet amid the ruins of the constitution
ami the wreck of our llbortles
Now, thirty years afterwurd, our opp
nents have gained wisdom. They have ng;
caught up entirely, but they have. pi"i
grossed. If Mr. Ilrynn llv. as 1 hope h
will, for thirty-live ears. for I wish lini
well -In his private life - I havp not tiei
least iloubl that lie will be quoting M" Kin
ley ut that time with the same approval
that he now iiuotes Lincoln.
Short stops were mado at Summit and
Mllbank, where brief speeches were mado
at each stop by dowrnor Iloosovelt and
other members of his party.

CANTON. O, Sept. 11. -A quiet and
restful day nt the McKlnley home closed
with an Informal dinner, at which tho
guests were Ung-tlmo friends of the fam
ily. During the day n number of friends
and neighbors dropped In nnd thn evening
was spent in social Intercourse. As usual,
the president was kept well advised on
otrtclal matters by long-dlstitnco tolephonu
from Washington, but thero was nothing
of such Importance as to seriously eu
gajo him much of tho time.
During the day Mr. McKlnley paid tho
town district a visit by walking down un
attended and looking over sonio Improve
ments teluc mado In his block. Ho stopp-d
to greet acquaintances on tho street nrcd
chatted pleasantly with many thus met.
There were a large number of social
callers, but no one on a political mission.
Former Senator Mitchell of Oregon paid
his respects and expressed conlldenco that
his state would give tho president n good

himself throughout the n tion and on two
occasions during the battle when I was an
eye-witness to Ills conduct was most con
splcuous and clearly distinguished above
other men. as follows:
First -At the base of the San Juan, or
llrst, hill, there was a strong wire fence, or
entanglement, at which the line hesitated
under n galling lire, and where the losses
were severe, Colonel Roosevelt Jumped
through the fence, and, by his enthusiasm,
his example and courage, succeeded In
leading to the crest of the hill n line sulll
clently strong to capture It In this ehurgo
the cavalry brbrade suffered Its greatest
loss and the colonel's life was placed In cx
tn me Jeonardy. owing to the conspicuous
position he took In leading the Hue and
neiua; the llrst to reach the ccsl of that
hill while under heavy lire ol the enemy tit
close riilige.
Second At the extteine advanced pnsl
tlo occupied by our lines Colonel Roose
velt found himself the senior and under
Instrjctlons from General Sumner to hold
that jiositlon. He displayed the greatest
exposure to severe (Ire while adjusting and

whether his conduct at Santiago was such
as to distinguish hi in above others, I have
the honor to submit the following:
Mv duties on July 1, UCK brought me In
constant observation of and contact with
Colonel Roosevelt from early morning until
shortly before the climax of the assault of
the ctivolrv division on San Juan hll' th'
so-called Kettle bill. During this time while
under the enemy's artillery lire at HI Poso
and while on the march from I'.l Poso hv
the San Juan ford to tho nolnt from which
his replment moved to the assault- about
two miles, the greater part under lire -Colonel
Roosevelt was conspicuous above
anv others I observed In his regiment In
the zealous performance of duty, lu totn'
disregard of his personal danger find In his
eagerness to meet the enemy. At Kl poso.
win'" the enemy opened on Hint place with
artillery lire, a shrapnel bullet grazed ami
bruised one of Colonel Roosevelt's wrists.
Th" Incident did not lessen his hazardous
exposure, but he continued so exposed until
ho had placed his command under cover
In moving to the nsrault of San Junn hill
Colonel Roosevelt was most conspicuously
brave, gallant and Indifferent to hW own
safety, lie. In the open, led his regiment:
no otlleor could have set a more strlklcr
exntnple to Ills men or displayed greater
Intrepidity. Very respectfully, your obedient
