.T. PETERSBURG, Oct. 31.-A11 Kussia
today celebrated enthusiastically the em
peror's gift of freedom, which the greater
part of the people received with deepest
toy, though In Bt. Petersburg. Moscow and
Mher cities socialists and revolutionaries
organised antl-'government demonstrations
nd red flag parades, which, with the
patrlntln manifestations, led to a number of
ronfllcts between the "reds" nnd the
whites." as the anti-government and roynl
st fictions are respectively termed. On
ihe whole, the day passed more quietly In
Russia than had been expected, though col
lisions between the people and the troops
are reported from Poltava. Kazan and
Klshlneff and two men were killed.
In each of the two capitals, St. Peters
burg and Moscow, the day was one such
as the Russians never before have seen.
The Slavic people, which during the long
war Just closed and the anxious period
preceding the announcement of the new
era of constitutionalism, seemed self-restrained
and apathetic, gave itself up fully
to exuberance of the moment and spent
the entire day In parades and assemblies,
which for the first time In the hWory 'of
Russia were freely permitted. Under the
orders of Count Wltte and General Trepoff.
the troops generally were withdrawn from
the streets of the cities and the fifllest
vein given tho people to let out the en
thusiasm In demonstrations, which, so
long as they were not destructive, were not
Interfered with.
First Bright nay.
It was a significant omen that after a
fortnight of gloomy and depressing weather
symbolic; of the daya of the strike, the
sun shone out brightly today and in St.
Petersburg and brought a radiant Indian
summer day. The scenes in St. Petersburg
reminded the observer of events in an
American university town after a foot ball
victory, but a thousand times magnified.
From early morning the streets of the capl-
ial were Ailed with a mass of demonstrators !
who tiaraded up and down the broad 1
Nevsky Prospect and tramped time and .
again the route between the two principal
centers t demonstration, the Kaxan

of fully 2nn.non persona, while down the
Nevsky Prorve?t late In the afternoon
unelnllHt senators, consisting of Doth stu- i
dents and workman, and members of revo-j
lutlonary organisations lumped into tne
forefront of affairs in Ft. Petersburg and
converted the celebration Into a great revo
lutionary demonstration.
Demands of the Socialists.
There were long processiona In which
hundreds of red flags were carried and to
which every one was compelled to doft the
hat. A great majority of the paraders
flaunted on the lapels of their coats ros-
ettes and streamers ot crimson riooon, ana ;

Early In the day the "Marseillaise sup
planted the national anthem as the popular
marching aong. The loyalists attempted to
tak the lead against the socialists and rev
olutionists by organising counter parades
In which they carried the red. white and
blue banners of Russia and chanted the na
tional anthem, but they were drlvea off
the Nevsky Prospect by the overwhelming

As the president stepped ashore the
bugles sounded and the marine band played
"The Star-Spangled Banner." The presi

It was intended that the marines should
escort the president out of the yard, but

wife and his carriage proceeded out of the

"Something more than the mere elcotlorv
of local th kt-ts depends uon republicans
this fall, here and elsewhere. Republican
victories mean a vote of confidence In a

president but the members of congress in
their efforts to carry out plane of . tho

This was the keynote of the appeal made
to the voters of Nebraska last night by
Congressman John F Lacey of Iowa ln his
speech at the M.'Klnley club mass meet

candidate on the ticket was cheered to
the echo nnd no appeal to support the
entire ticket was made without finding it
response n a burst of applause.
Leaders on the ttaa.
On the stage, bewides the county candi

John L. Kennedy, District Attorney

Howard Kennedv. R R. Ball and Vice
President B. C. Miner of tha county com

Dodson's band and the McKlnley Club
o,unrtet, with Joe Morrow as leader nnd
soloist. The singers were made to reply
to many encores.
Congressman Lneey addressed hts audi

Ihe personality of the lowsn and hie speech
made a hit. He said:
The McKlnley Republican club t under

Sotue History Recalled.
The great party which you represent to
nlKht is now lifty-one. years old. It was
organized for the purpose of restricting the
extension of human slavery and the K.m-SMS-Xf
hraaka contest was the first chapter
in Its history. It wns continued to preserve
the union of the states in a contest un
equalled ln human history. Its unitiza
tion was retained to reconstruct and re
store the union after the successful isstm
of the civil war. It remained to preserve
the public credit end to maintain the In
violability of nil the obligations contracted
in the conduct of the war for the union.
The paKHime of the resumption act was one
of its bravest and most useful deeds, ll
has fought the good ftcht: It has kept the
faith. It has not finished its courso
We meet tonbtht in a great city whose
growth dates from the pnshage of one of
the great national measures of that party.
On the first day of July, lsfc'. this eountry
was rent and torn by bloody wir. Abraham
Lincoln's uneasy head rested within the
sound of hoHtile cannon. The congress of
the I'nited States heard the tramp of
marching hosts and saw the wounded
soldiers carried through tho streets of the
nation's capital. It was Indeed the darkest
hour of the republic.
ln ancient history we read with admira
tion of the Rinnan senate undismayed, per
forming its unties when tne nosts or Hanni
bal were besieging Rome. Hannibal's camp
was sold at public auction In the forum und
a little later the purchaser was Bole to
take possession and claim his title. It was
the proud epitaph of the Roman consul that
"he never despaired of the republic." And
so history repeated Itself In our darkest
moment.
On Julv 1. 1S;2. the helearuered coneress
at Washington panned a bill to build tha
1'icltlc railway, and the Initial point was
d"l"nati d opposite Onia"ii In Council
niiffM. This ellv wilh nil lis beautiful

with Its splendid tit izenship. stands as an
I eternal monument to the Jiernle action of
that congress which answered tho demand

Pacific coast with the Atlantic.
-Always Party of Optimism.
The party that exhibited such heroic
spirit at such a time has shown Itself
worthy to lie trusted. It has always been
the party of optimism. It has never
sounded the notes of despair. It has proven
itself worthy to live and continue its
career. Prosperity has come under wise
republican policies. Sound money and pro
tection have born the promised fruits.
Your state furnished the brilliant leader
of free trade and flat money In tiie cam
