HEARD AT CANTON.
Canton, o., Oct. 9.---Bright sunshine
lent its cheering presence again today
to the enthusiastic delegations. After
weeks Of rain this added greatly to the
beauty of the days dOings. Two no
table and unprecedented features in
presidential campaigns disting uished
this eventful day. One was the can of
the Confederate veterans Of the She
RanJdoah valley from Virginia on the
Republican presidential nominee, who
carried a gun as federal private: an
other was the listening to the business
mems and trades demonstrations in
Chicago by Major Mckinley at his home
in Canton. While the Mckinley house
hold was at breakfast this morning.
Local Manager Hoffman of the Central
Union Telephone company, placed two
groups Of half-dOzen each, Of telephone
ear trumpets, six in the majors phi
vate library and a like number in Mrs.
AcKinley's sitting room. These were
connected with a long distance tele-
phone wire from Chicago, where receiV-
ers were located along the Zine of the
parade Major McKinley's friends were
invited to hear the sounds of enthu
siasm from Chicago, which was made
somewhat difficult by the constant
cheering about the house. The house
hold was notified from Chicago at 1850
TO be an readiness to come and hear the
joyful sounds at Chicago.
At 1852 Major Mckinley was called
to the phone. An Associated Press re-
porter listened at one of the trumpets
Major Mckinley showed great pleasure
at the volume of enthusiastic sounds
that reached him over the COO miles of
wire. The music of the bands and the
cheering of the crowds was very plainly
heard and one could scarcely cOmpre-
bend the intervening distance. The
East Tennessee delegation was cheering
about the house at the same time.
A THOUSAND MILES AWAY.
