Mr.. Mckinley went on to quote anumber of
articles that are cheaper today.than under the
old Idei of things and said that the rebate
on raw production for export had been in

concur most heartily with Major McRin-
ley that this is the greatest and best and
proudrst nation on the earth, but, unlike him,
would distribute that greatness and that
wealth as God distributes the dews of heaven
upon the lust and unjust alike. As said at
the outset when depicted from official sta.
tisties the deplOrahle condition of thi farm
crs and cited the reduction of wages of the
working men and women, he answered not in

Cleveland, you must not grumble because
some ono else has the wealth of your labor.
Major Mckinley has spoken one hour and n
half, but he has not said to me or this audi
ence why his bill raised the tariff from 40 to TO
per cent. He has not pointed out why the
wage worker has not an increase OF wages.
Referring To the silver question the governor
said: The great trouble about silver Is that
there is not enough of II in circulation, and
that tho working people don't get their share
of it, Major Mckinley has said that the Re-
publican party Is responsible for the financial
legislation for the pnst thirty years, and II
there are any eighty cent silver dollars in cir
culation the Republican party Is responsible
for It.
Time was called on the governor as he
was reading an extract from speech in
1888 by Senator Sherman on the wool
question, and the debate ended at $40,
having lasted tnfle over three hours.
There was rush OF spectators to shake
hands with The candidates. and for
moment the platform was in infinite
danger of giving way under the extra
weight. The candidates were hustled
OIL and, under the escort of big pro-
cession. with couple of bands, re-
turned to town. Last night they held
an informal reception at Professor Lehrs'
residence. They left town at midnight,
Governor Campbell going to Columbus
and the major to Canton.
