Akron Gives Him a Booming Reoep-

Escort Him to Grace Park He Alone
is Permitted the Honor of Speaking.
And This He Does on the Line of
Protection, With Reciprocity to
Sweeten it-By No Means an Effort
Worthy of the Governors Vaunted
Fame as a Stumpist.
Akron, O., Sept. 12.-Gov. Mckinley
began his second campaign in Ohio under
the most fattering conditions. Prepara-
tions have been going on for weeks, and
to-day Akron awakened in a blaze of
glory and bunting such as it has not seen
since the Blaine campaign of 1884. The
local committee has been assisted by the
republican state committee, the chair
man of which lives here, and expense has
not been spared to give Gov. Mckinley the
greatest boom meeting of his life.
M'KINLEY ALONE HoNoRED.
To give him all the!glory, he alone was
allowed the honor of making a speech,
and every feature of the days celebration
is subordiuated to the honor of AlcIIin-
ley.
He arrived here at II o'clock, ana the
first number on the programme was an
escort by military companies, and crowds
of enthusiastic people to a hotel, where
Governor Mckinley held a public recep-
| tion. The after-dinner ceremonies began
with parade, which, though purely po-
litical, was a stupendous affair in num-
berS. The procession ended at Grace
park, where the governor addressed the

Akron, the governor said:
OVERWHELMING DEFEAT OF 1892.
"We meet in political discussion for the
first time since the overwhelming defeat
in 1892. We meet with deep concern and
in changed conditions from those happily
existing when we last assembled The
business condition of the country has Gre
ated Just alarm among our people and Is
50 grave that the President OF the United
| States has convened congress in extraOr-
binary session with q view TO securing
prompt relief This business condi-
] ton calls for sober reflection and de-
mands of all of us the most careful iudg-
ment as well rs the exercise of the high
| est patriotism. Whatever comes or
! goes, we are all for our country. Having
| settled that much, I'VE can dispassiOnatcly
! discuss what will best return US to the
magnificent prosperity which we so re-
Gently lost. If, as party or individual,
/ any have been wrong on public questions,
| they should want to get right, and now is
| the time to doit. If they have committed
| themselves to a policy which experience
! or observation has demons tratGd unWlsc
and unfriendly to the highest prosperity
/ OF the country, they should abandon it ut
once. This Is no time for theorizing.
Practical statecraft is the supreme duty
| of the hour.
FOR SHERMAN ACT REPEAL.
"The purchase by the government Of
4,500,000 ounces of silver every month
! under the Sherman law, 50 called, and
the issuance in payment therefor of treas
| ury notes in the sum of the value Of the
silver thus bought, is believed in the
great financial centers TO be the cause.
which, if not wholly responsible for the
present situation, has contributed thereto.
| The President shares in the general be-
| lief most fully.
| senator sherman, who was member
of the conference committee in the Fifty
| first congress which agreed to the act of
July "a, 1890 (the silver-purchase law
has announced his belief that the pur-
chasing clause of that law should be re-
pealed, and last year, before the inaugu-
ration Of President Cleveland, he intro
duced in the Senate a bill to repeal it.
AGAINST STATE BANK MONEY.
s.It is fair TO assume. therefore, that
| whatever the so-called Sherman law has
to do with the present condition of our
! finances, it must CO. unless MIR. Cleve-
| lands party in the = enate prevent it.
| The great majority Of republicans in
congress are openly committed to its re-
peal On the subject Of money the Re
publican party stands where it has al
ways stood. In the language Of the Ohio

money, composed Of gold silver and pa
per maintained at equal value and under
national and not state regulation. The
suggestion for state bank money, coming
from any quarter, should pc promptly re
jected, and the party proposing it should
be deprived of the power 10 promote such
| a scheme.
M'KINLEY DEsCENDs TO BAEDERDAsH
"Thc President in his recent message
makes a significant, and for him, some
what surprising statement.
He says: 1T may be that the embar-
| rassment from which the business of the
country is suffering arises as much from
| evils apprehended as from those actually
| existing
II believe that in this sentence the Pres
ident has uttered truth, one which win
find in the mind Of every thoughtful man
a quick and approving response. What
| ever other things may have contributed
| to our present condition every man
| knows. as the President puts it, that the
great underlying cause is from evils ap-
pretended, evils which are yet TO come,
evils which are threatened, evils which it
| is believed will follow the executed de-
crees of the last democratic national plat
| form"
Mr. Mckinley quoted the declaration of
| Mr. Neal, the democratic candidate for
| governor, that tariff reform must be the
! democratic battle cry; said he accepted
! the issue thus rendered, and challenged
| Mr Neal for particulars as to his idea of
! revision.
PROTECTION AND FREE TRADE Ms SLOGAN
In closing, Gov. Mckinley said: Il do
not appeal for a party triumph merely,
| but for a cause which is the peoples
cause | rest my appeal upon the princi-
| pies and policies for which the Republican
! party stands protection and reciprocity.
! Just money and an honest ballot. These,
secured and continued, will insure the
highest interest Of the people, advance

trial Development encourage the true
! American sentiment and establish CON

which have settled upon the labor and
the enterprise of the people
