Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
CINCINNATI. Oct S1.-To-nIght was the
closing of the campaign so far as the Re-
publicans are concerned. Music Hall was
filled from pit TO gallery. Ten thousand
people crowded within its walls TO hear the
addresses of Maj. William Mckinley, Gen.
Il. A. Alger. of Michigan. and ex-Congress-
man Cannon, of Illinois The Hon. Bel
lsmy Storrer opened the meeting with q
short speech introducing Congressman
Cannon. Mr.. Cannon made short speech,
and was followed by General Alger, of
Michigan. After General Alger came the
principal speaker of the evening, Major
Mckinley. who spoke rs follows:
I'm glad TO greet this mammoth audience
here to- night to speak the closing words OF
great campaign, which Is TO decide
whether the people OF Ohio desire q pro-
tective tariff, an honest dollar, or British
tariff and disorganized coinage. We
cannot have much doubt as 90 what could
be the result If we were to revoke the leg
islation that has prevailed for thirty
years past, and under which We
have enjoyed so unaxampled q prosperity.
Those of the old men among this audience
remember the blighting effect of the reve-
nue. policy that prevailed from 1850 to 1850.
They recall that Millard Fillmore and
James Buchanan, Presidents of the United
States. in their messages declared that the
industries were In paralyzed condition
under a revenue tariff. Governor Camp
bell says that was the golden age.' God
save us from such another gold
visitation. The tariff bill has been T.
effect year. 1t has had one
birthday and it will have many more. The
campaign liar has gone out of business.
They 1.-THE Democratsl speak Of the oppres.
sions OF the tariff There is not a man here
tonight who by any oppression is reminded
OF the fact that protective tariff has been
passed. But there is not a man who has
to trouble tho Democrats-that wa
have raised the price of pearl
buttons. Well, 1 confess that we
baye done so but have no pardon to ask
of any one anywhere for so doing, for that
action has placed at work q thousand
American pearl-button-makers. whereas,
before there was not one. Mr.. Crisp, of
Georgia, said here the other evening that
the protective tariff was the most un-Amer-
lean law ever passed. 1t is not, 1t is Amer.
lean for the North. South. East and West;
il is as national as the tiag."
The Democratic aud Republican Stats
central committees to-day decided the re-
turns of the coming election shall be COM
pared with those of the Republican Secre-
tary of State elected last fall. 1t had been
at first decided to make the comparison
with the vote for Governor Campbell two
years ago, but as they regarded that as q
phenomenal vote they decided 10 make
the comparison with the vote for Secretary
of State. The election is the sole topic on
the streets tonight. but Is not the occasion
of any excitement. The registration in
Cincinnati, completed tonight, gives 64,907
registered voters in the city.
