ADA, O., Oct. S.-The little town of Ada
wssin gala attire to-day in honor of its
great political event, and not only did every
front window present likeness of either
Mai. Mckinley or Gov. Campbell, but from
many trees were suspended above the streets
nortraits Of the distinguished Ohioans.
Flags and banners and bun ting futtered
everywhere, and SO generous was the
friendly rivalry Of the decorations
displayed by the democrats and republicans
that the very horizon was obscured by the
familiar lines of the national colors. Great
decorative taste was displayed in various
triumphs arches. the most prominent of
these structures being a non-partisan "Wel-
come" arch which rose above the main
street and bore the words, "Welcome to the
leaders" From a keystone were also
suspended portraits of Maj. Nc
Kinley and Gov. Campbell, and
as the various marching clubs marched
under the arch they cheered Justify for their
respective leaders. By noon there were
over 5000 strangers in the city, and
although great enthusiasm was manifested
by both parties, the rivalry was friendly
one and entirely devoid of unpleasant incl
dents. Many Indianians and few people
from Illinois came, and they numbered in
their ranks so ne of the most enthusiastic
partisans on the ground.
MUSIC AND TIN HORNS.
From early morning until the opening of
the meeting the music of bands resounded
through the streets and occasionally the
blast of tin horn disturbed the martial
melody. There was an object lesson
however, in these tin horns, for they were
IDHms Understood to be and were
labelled as the product of
American tin. A handy walking cane dis
played with much ostentation by various
marching clubs was also alluded to as hav-
ing an origin in the tin mines Of Dakota
End no occasion was lost TO denounce in Wig
orous language the beta noir of the Ohio
Republicans, 'the democratic tin plate
liar On the other hand the democrats
retaiated by displaying badges bearing
Hl1sions 70 the Inconsistency and impotency
OF the Mckinley bill. The ladies wore dis
tnctive badge, which attracted much at
tenton and received special allusion by
Gov Campbell. 1t bore portrait Of Gov.
campbell. and below ii were the words
~ american lean wool, "a cents
BILL" An American tin badge
displayed with equal pride by the republi-
cans contained portrait Of Maj. Mckinley
and bore the words ''Protsction and Honest
Money" There were many prominent
Ohio politicians in the grand stand, and
both parties were fairly we'll represented.
ARRIVAL OF THE LEADERS.
At :15 o'clock a special train bearing
Maj. Mckinley, Senator Humphreys and
otaers rolled into the depot, and cheer
after cheer arose from the crowds
as the Napoleonic features Of
the great exponent of protection
were recognized by the multitude. The
major bowed smilingly TO the crowd and
quickly entering carriage was driven to
/ tue residence of Prof. Lehr, under the escort
Of various marching clubs, led by an ex>
ultant brass band.
Promptly at 1890 o'clock a Hooking
Valley train bearing about 1000 cheering
democrats and republicans hove into sight,
and attached to the rear was the special car
