| ton, and as one stanch Republican re-
marked, it was meet that it should be given
great protectionist in beautiful building
which protection had made it possible to
build
Carnegie Hall was packed to the doors by
people who were anxious to hear what the
framer of the great tariff bill had TO say in
defense of the instrument which bears his
name. 1t was an enthusiastic crowd, and
upon the entrance of Mr.. Mckinley, accom-
panied by Colonel W. A. Stone, the hall
rang with the shouts and applause of hun
dreds of Republicans who shouted for the
principles as we'll as for the man.
The immense organ, under the touch of
the master hand of Leonard Wales, rang
out the beautiful and soul-stirring strains OF
national airs. One by one they were reeled
off as one great piece of music, changing
rapidly from "My Country 'Tis of Thee, ="
which was being produced at the time of the
| entrance of the speaker, to "The Star
| SpangIed Banner" and ending up on
Yankee Doodle" As the changes were
made from one to another, the crowd fairly
went wild with enthusiasm, showing their
M'KINLEY UNDER THE WEATHER.
Mr.. Mckinley has been spending his
| time in his own canvass, and nothing but
his appearance need be offered as evidence
that he has been making great canvass
against ths odds imposed upon him by the
gerrymandering of the State of Ohio. He
appeared to be overworked by the strain
placed upon him and for that reason greatly
abbreviated his address.
During the course of the address and
when Mr.. Mckinley was dwelling upon the
manifold beauties of high protective tariff,
an old man arose in the audience He
was really distinguished-lookin gentle
man. Tall and straight as the tabled ar
row, his snowy locks overhanging his
shoulders and shading splendid bearded
face. Evidently the old gentleman was
Republican and an enthusiastic one. He
asked one question: ''Mr. Mckinley, why
did you not, when framing your tariff bill,
insert clause placing an import duty on
foreign pauper labor?'
Mr.. McKinley-This bill was in regard
to articles of commerce and not men. But
really believe that before many years there
will be an embargo on pauper labor.
This reply was greeted with applause, and
when the old gentleman tried to talk further
he was interrupted, hissed and hooted, and
was compelled to sit down, though not be-
fore having declared thai his grandfather
was a Revolutionary soldier, and as for him.
self, he had fought for his country once and
was willing to do so again If need be.
DELAMATER's NAME UNUTTERED.
One peculiar feature of the address of Mr..
Mckinley was the absence of one name,
shat of Mr.. Delamater. Not once did that
name pass his lips, and all reference to the
nominee for Governor was so remote as to
be entirely lost in the depths of his other
arguments.
On the stage were to be found about 30 of
the prominent Republicans of the two cities.
The Chairman and Secretary of the County
Republican Committee, and Colonel w. A.
Stone were among the number, and there
were numerous others equally as prominent
in the affairs of the party. Chairman Por-
ter, of the County Republican Committee,
announced as the President of the meeting,
Mr.. John S. Slagle, who was received with
loud applause. Mr.. Sagle said, in mis- 1n-

The author of the new tariff bill was re-
ceived with tumultuous applause. Hats,
handkerchiefs, canes and umbrellas were
swinging in the air, while the auditorium
rang with the shouts of the enthusiastic
crowd. Three times did Mr.. Mckinley es-
say to speak and as many times did the ap-
plause break out anew. At last when order
was restored, Mr.. Mckinley said:
MAJOR M'KINLEY's SPEECH.
MIR. President and NV Fellow Citizens:
If anything could relieve me from the wearl-
ness which feel after more than a fortnight of
campaigning it would be this magnificent
meeting and your most generous welcome. l
have come here to speak tonight running awav
from my own district, where l am much more
sorely needed than you need me here, because
love the people of Pittsburg, and l love
the principles of the great Republican
party Political parties are necessary to a
government OF free people. They are the
agencies of public veal. We cannot, in a Gov
ernment like ours. get on without political as
sociation. We are too numerous in pOpula-
ton. We are too extended in territory for
each individual to act for himself in public af-
fairs, and so under our system of Government
the people are divided into great political
political organization that represents every
phase of conviction that an individual
citizen may have. l doubt if there
is a gentleman in this audience who finds in
county everything of which he would have
and everything which he would aspire to have
for the individual citizen and for the nation at
large, and SO as sensible men we mast find that
political organization which represents more
nearly what we think than any other and asso-
ciate ourselves with that political organization.
1t is impossible under our form of govern
ment for all the people to act in their indl-
vi6ual capacity in public affairs, and therefore
it is that under our legislation every 10000
people are entitled to one representative in the
people of this country. IN every State
of the Union, are entitled to have
one vote in the House of Representa-
tives. And ! am here tonight to speak
tions. and when speak fer a political associa-
ton, always speak for the candidates who
bear the nag OF that political organization. 1t
is my purpose tonight to talk to you about that
great subject which is not only commanding
the public attention of our own people, but is
commanding the public attention of the civil
ject of taxation. Taxation begins with every
Government, whether 1t is government Of the
city, OF the county, of the State or OF the
nation.
