HILL SITS WITH M'KINLEY
THE TWO LEADERS HAvR A TALK
ON A TRAIN.

Then the Governor Gets OF at woos-
ter and Urges the People to Defeat
the Major-He Denounces his Posi-
tion on the Tariff and the Force Bill.
WOOSTER, O., Oct 22-Gov. Hill left
Canton for Wooster this morning. At
Massillon Maj. Mckinley, who was on his
way 20 Smithville. boarded the train, and
John G. Warwick, Maj. McKinley's demo-
cratic opponent in this congressional dis
trict, who was sitting in company with the
governor. gracefully arose and surrendered
his seat TO the major, who chatted with the
governor until he reached his destination.
On arriving at Wooster an immense throng
crowded the station. Gov. Hill addressed
a monster open air mass meeting of 5000
people this afternoon.
AN EXPLANATION OF THE TARIFF,
He commenced his speech by thorough
explanation Of the tariff bill, and said that
federal taxation was the question of the
hour, and that the passage OF the Mckinley
bill had caused an uprising OF tho masses
against this pernicious legislation. "Your
district is a great wheat aud pork producing
country; ask Secretary Blaine when he
speaks here what he meant when he said
that there was not line in the Mckinley
tariff bin which opens up a new market for
wheat and pork. The Democratic party
holds that wider markets lead TO the pros
perity of the farmers.
WHY HE OPPOSES M'KINLRY.
81 oppose the election of William McKln-
ley, among other reasons, because he voted
for and advocated the infamous force bill.
That bill imperils the very existence of con-
atifnfinnal amt sf,k de-
the best interests of the people demand ius
defeat 1t is a scheme devised to perpetu-
ate the political power Of the Republican
party. The enforcement of such a measure
would require millions Of dollars from the
public treasury, would force upon the peo
pie horde of federal officials not elected by
the citizens, but appointed by judges, who
hold their positions for life, and would en-
danger the peace and good order of the
communities, without affording the slight
est protection to single elector.
DIXIE HAS DONE NOTHING
Nothing has taken place in any part of
the south to Justify the exercise of the doub-
full power of congress to regulate our elec.
tIons. Federal Supervisors in every elec-
tion district, strangers to the people, vested
with authority to override the certificates
OF local officials and the governors of the
states, constitute the framework of the pro-
posed iniquity. The sacred right Of repre-
sentation is made to depend upon the
integrity Of partisan officers having no
responsibility to the people. The tendency
of such legislation would be to provoke a
conflict between the federal and state Off
cials, and race prejudlces would be engen-
dered at the south. This force bill is
vicious attack upon the republican form Of
government and ought not to prevail.
BOUND TO PASS THE BILL
''In conversation with Mr.. Mckinley on
the train to-day he told me ID was the in
tention of the present republican congress
10 pass the force bill before its expiration,
no matter which party was successful in
the coming congressional elections. II they
do not carry the next election you can rest
assured they will not pass the bill.n
ANOTHER SPEECH AT NIGHT.
After the governor had finished his speech.
In view of the fact that the people on tho
outskirts Of the crowd had been unable TO
hear him and that many who were at their
daily labor also desired 60 hear him, he con-
sented to remain until tonight, when he
addressed / 500 people, who taxed the ut
most capacity OF the village opera house.
The governors remarks were mainly a re-
view Of the tariff question and the legisla-
tion and doings Of congress. The governor
and his party left for Massillon, where he
speaks tomorrow.
