The Alger Party Talks to 10,000 People in Allison's Town.
Dubuque, Iowa, Sept. 30.—Generals Alger, Howard, Stewart and Sickles and Corporal Tanner arrived from the West before daylight, and even at that early hour were welcomed by a large number of citizens. They remained in their car until 9 o'clock, when they were escorted to Washington Park, where they spoke for two hours in behalf of McKinley. During the early morning special trains brought in hundreds of excursionists, and it is estimated that not less than 10,000 people were in line. Several hundred local and visiting G. A.

Henderson presided and presented the speakers, each being received with enthusiastic cheers of the assembled thousands.
