ROOSEVELT DAY
Greatest Political Demon
stration in History of
S.-W. Nebraska.
TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE
Gather to See the Hero of San Juan
Hill He is Accompanied By All
Republican State Candidates.
As courageously predicted and confi
dently expected , Monday Roosevelt
day in point of numbers participating
and in enthusiasm exhibited , was abso
lutely unparalleled and unprecedented
in the'political annals of South-Western
Nebraska. At this point , Governor
Roosevelt was greeted by about ten
Lhousand people from all over this sec
tion of Nebraska , receiving a tremendous
ovation and experiencing not one un
pleasant incident to mar the boundless
satisfaction and success of the day. It
was an ideal day as to weather and every
Republican heart and lung was accurate
ly adjusted to it. The net results of the
day are a proud monument to the qual
ity of South-Western Nebraska Repub
licanism and a glowing tribute to the
wise and fearless statesman and to the
manly and intrepid soldier "Our Ted
dy" governor of the great state of New
York and late colonel of the immortal
Rough Riders the heroes of San Juan
and Santiago.
THE AFTERNOON MEETING.
While much centered in the evening
meeting , the afternoon gathering as
sumed unexpectedly satisfactory proportions
tions and interest. Shortly after dinner
and the arrival of the special trains from
both east and west , a procession was
formed and marched to the City park in
the following order : Hartley band , Hoi-
brook band , members of the G. A.R. ,
Trenton band , Young Ladies Marching
club , McCook Drum corps , McCook
Marching club , Oxford band , Mosquito
battery , Full Dinner-Pail club.
Between two and three thousand people
ple gave earnest attention to the pro
gramme which filled the entire after
noon. Speeches were made by Hon. E.
N. Allen of Arapahoe , the Republican
nominee for state senator in the sgth
district , Dr. J. A. Andrews of Eustis ,
Republican nominee for representative
in the 66th district , Ex-Congressman E.
H. Hiushaw of Fairbury and Hon. C. W.
Workman of Mansfield , Ohio. These
gentlemen each and all were accorded a
very gratifying hearing. The issues of
the day were ably , fairly and masterfully
presented to the evident appreciation of
the large audience. The Bartley band
and the Republican City glee club gave
enjoyable musical recreation to'the af
fair.
fair.At
At the conclusion of the afternoon
programme , the bands present from out-
of-town marched down into the city and
played a number of selections to the
waiting crowds on the streets , which
closed this feature of a great day.
THE EVENING MEETING.
Notwithstanding the interest that at
tached to the other proceedings of the
day , the evening meeting was the ab
sorbing event of the day everybody was
eager and impatient to see and hear
Governor Roosevelt ; and when the deaf ,
euing din of booming cannon and
screeching steam whistles announced
the approach of the Roosevelt special
and party , anxious and enthusiastic
thousands flocked to the depot to greet
them. It was a scene seldom witnessed
outside the larger cities. The appear
ance of the governor was the signal for a
rousing ovation. But the time was too
brief for any formal or lengthy recep
tion and Colonel Roosevelt and party
were promptly taken into carriages in
waiting and the procession to the City
park , where the meeting was held , was
started under way , the Nebraska Bri
gade band heading the procession , Cap
tain Wells' uniformed marching club of
young men and Captain Bolles' uni
formed marching club of young ladies
escorting the distinguished party. The
crowded condition of the streets and fe
verish state of the people made it im
possible to organize as orderly a proces
sion as it was hoped could be made , but
the scene was an inspiring one , just the
same , as the cheering thousands wended
their way up Main avenue to the park.
The formal procession was formed by the
following : The Nebraska Brigade band ,
the Roosevelt party in carriages , Young
Men's Uniformed Marching club , Young
Ladies' Uniformed Marching club , the
Bartley , Oxford , Trenton , Holbrook ,
Stamford and Danbury bands , McCook
Drum corps , a Flambeau club of two
hundred members , Full Dinner-Pail
Marching club , Personal-Effort Republi
can club of McCook , and hundreds from
McCook and all over this section of state
on horseback and afoot. The line of
march was fringed throughout its length
with yelling thousands and red lights
still further heightened the effect.
Arriving at the park. Chairman C. F.
Babcock of the Republican county cen
tral committee promptly called the im
mense audience to order and introduced
our next governor , Hon. C. H. Dietrich ,
who , after a few words , introduced Hon.
W. S. Morlau , our next congressman ,
who , feeling that he was to be seen and
not heard , soon gave way to General
Curtis Guilds , Jr. , of Boston , who made
the principal speech of the evening along
the well-known lines of the Republican
campaign. Governor Roosevelt followed
him in a brief , terse , emphatic address ,
being unable to proceed for some minutes
by the prolonged and tremendousovation
accorded him. The powerful , magnetic
personality of the man appeared in every
word and gesture , and marked him as an
unusual man of force and action. He
was followed in brief speeches by each
of the nominees on the Republican state
ticket , C. H. Dietrich , nominee for gov
ernor , introducing each : E. A. Savage ,
lieutenant-governor ; George W. Marsh ,
secretary of state ; William Stueffer ,
treasurer ; Charles Weston , auditor ;
Frank N. Prout.attorney general ; George
Fullmer , land commissioner ; W. K. Fowler
ler , superintendent of schools.
A few farewell words by Go\'ernor
Roosevelt then brought to a close the
most stupendous and enthusiastic polit
ical gathering ever witnessed in Western
Nebraska.
The Roosevelt party left about mid
night for North Platte.
NOTES OF THE DAY.
Bartley has an ambitious and increas
ingly excellent band.
"It's Just a Little Matter of Good Gray
Matter Underneath the Hat. "
The McCook and Republican City
glee clubs alwa3s "brought down the
house. "
The Comfort was about the only thing
displeased. But the play wasn't put up
to please the colonel.
The apartments of the McCook Ath
letic club were generously and thought
fully thrown open to the visiting ladies.
The ladies of the Methodist and Con
gregational churches and of the Macca
bees realized handsomely from their
stands.
The Roosevelt special arrived about
fifteen minutes ahead of schedule , which
somewhat disconcerted arrangements
for the parade.
For so vast and noisily enthusiastic
and demonstrative a crowd it was re
markably civil and orderly. It is the
proud record of the police court that not
one arrest was made on Roosevelt day.
Dr. J. A. Andrews , the Republican
nominee for representative in the 66th
district , composed of Frontier and Gos-
per counties , is something of a speaker
himself. His oratory is on the same
generous plan of his ample physical pro
portions , and his vocal organs are equal
to both.
Seven bands participated in the pa
rades and other proceedings of the day
and evening : McCook , Bartley , Oxford ,
Trenton , Holbrook , Stamford and Dan-
bury. Besides the McCook drum corps
added its musical mite , and three glee
clubs swelled the chorus : McCook , Re
publican City and Cambridge.
The efforts at decoration were product
ive of some handsome and attractive
effects. Flags great and small waved in
the gentle breeze from many a business
house and residence and tri-colored
bunting was in evidence everywhere with
lithographs of the national standard-
bearers , President McKinley and Gover
nor Roosevelt. There were a number ol
especially handsome , patriotic inside
window effects.
The speech by Ex-Congressman E. H.
Hiushaw of Fairbury was one of the
ablest , most logical and convincing ever
delivered in McCook. He is too large
and fair a man for abuse , and'uses only
arguments and facts in his speeches ; but
he marshals them masterfully and pleas
ingly. His closing peroration was an
eloquent and brilliant effort. Hinshaw
will doubtless give a good account ol
himself in the future.
The speech by C. W. Workman oi
Mansfield , Ohio , was a fair companion-
piece to Mr. Hinshaw's effort. He was
not on the regular programme of the
day , but he made such an excellent
speech that no one was sorry he "broke
in. " He is a well-posted , easy and en
tertaining talker and handles the issues
of the day most effectively. He has all
the efficiency of sound argument and
liberal information.

per roll. Special low prices on all paper.
