GIVEN A WESTERN \VEICM1E \ Reception of tlio Veteran Generals a Re markable Demonstration. GREAT CROWD MEETS THEM AT THE DEPOT Clliiiiix of lOiilluislnxtii tlrni'licil U'licn the VNItoi-M Appear on the HiicnkoiV I'lnlfnriii SlcUK' * ' Ai- jienl for .Vnlloiinl 1 In nor. There was a magnificent outpouring of the people nt Council Bluffs jcsterday morning to welcome the distinguished party ot union generals. The Northwestern train which bore the party was due to arrive at 7:30 : but It wns delayed nearly an hour. At thr early hour scheduled for the arrival of the train there was an Immense concourse of citizens swarming around the Northwestern depot. Many of them waited patiently nearly two hours , and when the train pulled In they were the most enthusiastic ot all In tltrlr demonstrations. Broadway was a mass of people for a distance of several blocks. Thu reception committee was on hand with carriages gaily decked. Messes of golden rod were used as the chief ma terial for decorating the carriages and the trapping ot the horccs. Each member of the committee wore a gorgeous sized bunch In the lapel" of his coal. A conference be tween the reception committee and the members of the party resulted in the de termination to divine the party and permit all but Generals Sickles and Alger to accompany the Omaha committee across the river. But before doing so all of the members of the party left the train and received an ovation from the populace. Generals Howard , Alger and others Inspected the military organization and shook hands In the most cordial manner with n number of the grizzled veterans. General Howard walked the full length of the long line of Orand Army men. Union Veteran legion members , Sons of Veterans and High School cadets , reviewing them and shaking hands with their ofllccrs tn the hcartlcbt manner. He- paused before the cadets after he had reviewed them and paid them the extraordinary high compliment of comparing them with the best he had scon among parades of the national cadets at West Point. Point.CROWD CROWD THE STREEJS. When the reviews were over Generals Alger and the venerable one-legged hero , Sickles , were placed In carriages and driven to the Orand hotel , where breakfast WBB served. The seventh floor dining room was most gorgeously decorated with the national colors , palms , flowers and great banks of golden rod. The profusion of the latter at tracted attention and the guests commented upon the popularity of the national flower In the west. Long before breakfast was over the streets surrounding the hotel were Jammed with people and the overflow filled Bayllss park. A platform had been erected In the center of the street south of the hotel and at 10 o'clock a platoon of police made a path through the crowd from the door to the stand. Generals Alger and Sickles were escorted through the living lane and helped upon the platform. Governor Urake came with the party from DCS Molnes and presided as chairman of the meeting. His opening remarks were drowned by the clamor ot approaching drum corps and the hum of thousands of voices , He only made himself heard when he m'ounted a chair and announced at the top of his voice that General Alger would make a brief speech. When General Alger climbed upon the chair he was given a most enthusiastic re ception. His speech was chiefly an Introduc tion of General Sickles , whom he declared was the old Roman of the party , ever ready to draw his sword or use- his tongue In de fense of his country. Responding to the cries of "Louder , " he declared that It was Impossible for any man who had been mak ing dally speeches for ten days In the open air to keep his voice In tune to be heard over an area of 100 acres of noisy Iowa people. He declared that General Sickles had made sixty-seven speeches slnco leaving Chicago ten days ago. and that old veteran stands as firmly and vigorous today asuicn he raised his voice and drew his sword In de fense of his country In ' 01. He emphasized the fact that Sickles was a democrat , and that every ancestor he hod back to his great-grcat-great grandmother was n democrat. He condemned the anarchist ten dencies of the democratic party and declared that the patriotic democrats had left their party to come over Into the republican fold for the same reason that hundreds and thousands of them left It In 'GO. He pointed to Sickles as tbo bravest , truest and noblest of them all. REMARKABLE OVATION. While General Alger was speaking , gen tlemen on the platform had been arranging a couple of tables for the use of General Sickles. A chair was placed on top of them upon which General Sickles was to sit while speaking. Half a dozen strong arms bodily lifted the one-legged hero Into the chair. Then a shout went up that made the air iulver. Every person of the thou sands present could see the general , and all witnessed the laborious and almost dan gerous ascent to the summit of the creaky wooden pyramid. Flvo minutes elapsed before the yelling ( It was not cheering ) ceased. Old veterans , with eyea streaming with tears , threw up their caps and cried until they were hoarse. Governor Drake started to make an additional brief Introduction , but the crowd was Impatient to hear the old general , General Sickles said that although ho did not belong to Iowa ho felt as much at home here as anywhere In the United States. He called attention to the fact that he was an old man , crippled and helpless , and that every other man on the platform was hU junior. He declared that ha came 1,500 miles to get here. Then he oskrd Impressively : "Why have I come here ? Why hove I left my comfortable home ? I have no wants that are not satisfied. My state and my nation have glveu ino more honors than I have merited. I Jin not hero for any selfish pur pose , I am hero to tell the people of the great west why I have left the democratic party , and to urge every other democrat who U hone.Ht and patriotic to rebuke and spurn the unholy alliance that was made at Chi cago. " He declared that ho had been a dem ocrat for fifty years , and that ho loved the " old party. It had made a good many grand pages In history. There had been a brief interregnum In 1SC1 , when ho was obliged to withdraw from It. He could not allow Jeff Davis to make a platform for him , and ho could not allow Altgeld and Tlllman to make another for him and the country to day. He had stood by Lincoln without de bating nr hesitancy and had tried to help to hold up his hands and make his oath ofllce good. "And now , " said he , "when Tlllman conies with his pitchfork and boasts that he Is from a accession state I cannot let him and Ills coadjutors make a platform for me , " General AlRcr kept suggesting that the train was waiting to carry them to Nebraska and General Sickles declared that he knew good thing when he caw It and proposed stay by It , At this juncture General Man- derson ma.lu his way through the crowd and succeeded In climbing upon the platform. Some bright and good-natured rallcry oc curred between the three generals , and Sickles declared that he was before Iowa boys who never ran away or permitted capture and warned Manderson that ho could not take him away until bo was goad and ready to go. PATRIOTISM ABOVE PAHTY. " Continuing his speech he declared that a young man had come Into tbo east announc ing that he was Invading the enemy's coun try. He had come west looking for and expecting to flnd an enemy's country , hut had gone through nine western states with out finding an enemy. Now ho was going Into Nebraska to cce If the enemy he had heard about was there. Waving his crutch above his head he made a incut eloquent appeal to his old comrades In arms , and asked them If after the sacrifice of half a ter millions of Jives they were willing to per mit the Integrity of their country to be tarnished , "Arc you willing to listen to a braggart from North Carolina boast tha he would take the supreme court by tin neck and throttle It ? Not while I live and can raise n voice to protest against It wll I permit It , and I do not believe there l ! n soldier who fnught In the union armies liv ing Unlav who will permit It , much Ices en- coinage It. " He did not care about the Chi csio ; platform or the boys they put upon It , because he was not going to vote for It " \\'e wont to keep the good old party to- Rulhcr , " said he , "but we want also to keep thr country together. The country Is greater than the party. The party was like the family , and It was a good thing to keep the family together. But when smallpox breaks out In the house the family must scatter and slay awny until the house 1 ; disinfected. We old democrats propose to first keep the country together , olid I want to tell jon republicans right here that whet we have finished our work we will get the old party together again and we will go back and give as bully a fight as you ever had This Is no time to hesitate. Were my house on fire , would I stand In the doorway and talk about the tariff ? " He said he came to the west with n message , and that was that the patriotic democrats of Now York statct 300.000 strong , would repudiate the Chicago platform , Its leaders , and the political con spirators who would sacrifice the nation and prosperity to satisfy their greed for of fice and power , and these 300,000 democrats of New York ask the democrats of the west to repudiate tnc thing with them. He said Bryan was a nice young man , and hv made a pretty speech at Chicago , and rattled his little silver things very prettily. Ho was a blight young man from the west and the people want to give him a chance to remain | In the broad west and grow up with the country. ELECTRIFIES HIS AUDITORS. There were climaxes In his speech where he touched the highest point of eloquence It was not so much what he said as It was the manner of the man and the way he salt' It. Perched on a chair , and the chair standIng - Ing upon two rlckcrty tables , which In tun : were standing upon a platform that reached to the height of a man's waist , he towcrcJ far above the heads of the dense crowd that filled the adjoining squares , nine-tenths of them so far away that they could not hear a word , but when ho swung his black crulcl and shook his white locks there was some thing that kindled a flame In the breasts of the thousands and It burst forth in yells His peroration was an eloquent appeal to make the defeat of the party nf dishonor so crushing and overwhelming that the Is sues It had raised would be. settled forever. When the gentlemen on the platform wcri carefully lifting General Sickles from an elevated seat and lowering him to th ground to permit his friends to conduct hln to the carriage In waiting , General Mander son made n brief speech. He complimented the crowd upon the warm western wclconii that had been given the guests. "Welcom the coming and speed the departing guest , I a good adage , " said he , "and I ask you ti clvo them a hearty godspeed across the Big Muddy and Into the state that Is not thl year to be honored by giving the nation a president. Any republican can carry th < state of Iowa Is another adage , and wliai of that greatest ot living republicans , Me Klnlcy ? Will he not carry this grand oh : state by twice her usual 50,000 majority These gentlemen will go Into Nebraska , and they will find no enemy's country when they cross the Missouri river. Nebraska Is al ready ablaze with patriotism. Every vll lagc and precinct Is on fire with enthusiasm and All that Is needed Is the presence o ; these distinguished gentlemen to turn th state overwhelmingly to McKlnlcy and pros perlty.

Property owners on Twenty-sixth , be tween A and F streets , were considerably disappointed because the council did not act on their petition for the. grading of that street. Owners of only 900 feet of land having , signed the petition , nothing could bo done , as the law requires three-fourths of the property , which In this case would be 2,595 feet. The residents say that they will obtain all the signatures necessary. For some years past attempts have been made to have this portion of the street graded , hut something has always Inter- vcned to prevent the work being done , lnj IIIK for Vlmliift ItciinlrH. The Martin Lumber company has been allowed 51,724 , BO out of the Judgment fund In payment for repairs to the viaducts. The total coat of the work Is a little over $ n,000. Some time ago warrants were Issued for f the whole amount on a special fund to bo created by a tax on the railroads. As the railroads have not shown any Inclination to pay the special tax , the council arrived at the conclusion that the only way out of the dlfflculty was to pay part of the debt out of the Judgment fund. Deducting this payment from that fund leaves a balance of only $69.82. $ _ < ; IINNI. Mrs. Harry Laufcnbcrg Is on the sick list. T , J. Porter of Delth , Nev , , la a visitor In the city.
