Hon. Michael ID. Harter, of Mansfield
addressed the citizens OF Canton anC
Stark county Friday evening at the Taber-
nacle. Early in the evening the voter!
commenced to assemble, anx ious TO hea,
| the famous tariff reform orator. About
| o'clock the Young Mems Democr attic clnl
headed by the City Band, marched 70 the
Tabernacle. The speaker OF tho evening
accompanied by Mr.. Atlee Pomerepe
chairman of the meeting, and the Hon
John K. Monnot, entered the hall and
were loudly applauded.
BY this time the immense hall war
1 crowded, many standing IN the rear OF a.
building. There was no comparison be-
/ tween the Sherman meeting and tho one
held last night. The Republican meeting
| was oil show. There was big parade
/ and many outside delegations. At the
Tabernacle there was plenty of singing
but very little rsument. At the Demo
cratic meeting there w8s no miR utr al busi.
ness. The Y. N. ID. G. si1piy etsol te d
the speaker of the evening to the hall. On
the arrival there was no singing and Mr..
Ponerene at once introduced the Hon. M.
ID. Harter, who proc osded to discuss the
issues OF the dag la 10 siear a ne nuer that

The meeting wss remnsksb.e in one
particular. Several days ago Hon. John
e. Monnot, chairman of the Democratic
committee, notified the protectionists tha I
any questions tntt wsrs ahkNd him. Not
q Republican asked him single question.
At the opening of the meeting il vas an
nounced that Mr.. Harter would consider

There was some doubt as TO how Mr..
Hsrter would handle the silver question.
The manner in which be disposed OF il
met with general approval. He showed
4 clearly that last February kF. Mckinley
| was in favor OF the free coinage OF silver,
! and in a speech ~ Toledo denounced
1 Grover Cleveland because he oppo7ed free
/ coinage. Mr.. Harter then showed how
| quickly the Major had Topped, and that
the position taken by Mr.. Mckinley nov
was the came favored by Grover Cleve.
1 land, which he denounced in February
l last.
The speech OF Mr. Harter Was bristlIne
4 with facts, aud was listened TO with the
l closest attention. He Ia wonderful
| scholar and is thoroughly posted on all
the issues of the day. He evaded nothing
and handled the different questions in 0
/ manner that cannot help making manS
votes for the Democratic ticket. Thoge
A who did not attend last nights meeting
missed a rare treat. The meeting wai
l without doubt the most successful that hai
! been held in Canton this year. The visi
OF Hon. Nj. d. Harter will tell when the
/ ballots are counted in November next.
There we're two large banners whict
attracted Q great deal Of attention.
"Reciprocity, free trade, with all nations
1 will insure our national supremacy
James G. Blaine" was one of the quota
tlonD.
Another was "Unnecessary taxation /.

fight against Major Mckinley personally
like him 90 much that l would inargu
rate movement that would keep hin
among us as a neishbor. I am satisflet
that he would make q botter neighbor thai
Governor. We have many charges tha
1 We can prefer against him, and th6 great
est indictment that can be found is tn
Mckinley bill. That is the platform Of
I which he stands and that Ia the platform
on which be will die. The Republican
4 claim that ia n commendation for him,
l hold IL 10 condemnation.
We have with US one of the ablest ex
ponents OF Democratic faith. He is not
politician, but ls 4 business man has press
NaAh all 30 o.. e. A.
leadership. He is one OF the men who la
advocated revenue tariff, since the tim
1 when IL was almost considered q crime
4 but now we have seen the fruits,
have no doubt that the state will q
Democratic and that Governor Campbe
will succeed himself. The following yea
Democratic president will succeed PREF
ident Harrison. The speaker is not ger
tleman from Mansfield but o CantoniAI
on the principle once q Csntonian Alwsy
n CantoniAn. Any one who doubts an
statement made by him 10 requested I
arise and ask for correction. We az
not ashamed OF the doctrines OF th
party and not afraid OF them. Any tim
you doubt any statement arise and Al
Harter will not regard IL as an interrupt
lon, but as a personal favor to himself.
HON. NJ, d. HARTER
