1.-THE best thing l can wish for each
and everyone of you is return to the
splendid prosperity of four years ago.
The money of the country, happily, is all
right the Republican party made it all
right, and Grover Cleveland's administra-
ton has kept it good. We propose to
continue that good, sound. unquestioned,
undepreciating money with which to do
the business of this great country. Great
cheering.)
A Glance Into History.
what a nation we are! Why in
1860, when Abraham Lincoln of blessed
memory, the immortal hero of emancipa-
ton and the war, when he took control
of this government our entire wealth was
$4,000. 100000. When Benjamin Harri-
son went out it was S63 ,000, 900, 900, and
more than two-thirds of the great war
debt had been wiped out. Since that time
we have been doing little else but make
debts for the government and debts for
the people. l am greatly honored by this
call. Too many delegations are visiting
me today to permit my longer OBTAINING
you. l appreciate this visit II is inspir-
ing to the cause which represent. and
will encourage the Republican spirit ev-
erywhere. l know the value of the
commercial traveller. When he is against
you, look out" Great laughter and APP

Unusually Earnest Address.

Major Mckinley Delivers to Them an
Unusually Earnest Address.
The Maryland G. A. r. club, one Of
the delegations Of the day, was honored
with one of the most earnest addresses
Maj. Mckinley has yet delivered. In
response to Gen. Theodore #. Lang, who
spoke for the Maryland visitors, Maj.
Mckinley said:
THE spectacle which we witness in
Canton today is most encouraging and
inspiring. There are delegations here
from New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Mary
land. Great applause and cries Of
"Iowa.O Yes, Iowa and Kentucky, and
on yesterday we had delegations from
from the state of Tennessee. All are
welcome to my home and city, for all Of
them are moved by a common purpose,
and that purpose is to save the country
from reputation and dishonor.
This visit on the part of my fellow
citizens from Maryland indicates their
concern at the present condition Of the
country, and manifests belief on their
part that the sooner ii comes to an end
the more gratifying it will be. 1t Is an
unmistakable expression of your belief
that the change most to be desired can
only be secured through Republican
triumph, and that you are jealous end
alert to do your full part in bringing
about the result. This campaign has
many peculiar phases. 1t involves the
most vital interests to country. 1t is
unique in American politics. One Of the
old and most honored political parties of
this country is very much divided this
year A part of it has united with the
other parties, and in some of the states
the alliance has been rejected, and the
fusion repudiated, so that the condition
is not altogether and everywhere har-
monious. The old leaders of the Demo-
cratic party, those who carried its bur
dens and fought its battles in the past,
framed in the city of indianapolis few
weeks ago AN indictment against their
old party associates who met at Chicago,
which in severity has been unequaled.
They pronounced the declarations IF the
Chicago convention, which was Demo-
cratic in name, as an attack upon in
dividual freedom, right of private con-
tract, the independence of the judiciary
and authority of the President TO en-
force the laws of the United States.
Chicago Convention Arraigned.
"They charged the Chicago convention
with reckless attempt to increase the
price of silver by legislation to the de-
basement of our monetary system, and
threatened unlimited issues of paper
money by the government. They pro-
claim in view of these and other grave
departures from Democratic principles
that they cannot support the candidate
of that convention, nor be bound by its
acts. They declare that the Democratic
party has survived many defeats. but
could never survive a victory won in be-
half of the policy proclaimed in its rame
at Chicago. On the money question they

Congressman BOutelle Speaks for the
State OF Blaine and Reed.
One of the distinguished visitors of the
day was Congressman Bontclle of Maine,
who was introduced to one of the visit
ing delegations by Mr.. Mckinley, with
such happy words that he could not es-
cape participating in the speech-making
which Gov. Mckinley was expected to
alone perform. At the close of one Of
the addresses Mr.. Mckinley, turning to
MIR. Boutelle. who stood near him, said:
I'VE have present with us Gen. Bou-
telle of Maine. and while the delegation
is marching up the hill (another delega-
ton was then approaching) l am sure
you will be glad to hear n voice from
the state of Blaine that has just given
us nearly $4,000 majority" Applause
and cheers.)
Mr.. Boutelle said:
"The governor has taken n slight adj
vantage over me in bringing me before
you, but desire to say to you that there
is no Republican in the state of Maine
who would not deem ii an honor and a
privilege to stand here, at the residence
of William Mckinley of Ohio and thank
you for the splendid manifestations OF
loyalty which you have exhibited here.
We have got through with our little
piece of work in Maine; we have set the
mark, 10000 high. for the other states
of the American Union to go by. We
want to see Ohio more than double IT.
We want to see Indiana come up with

friends, on the Sd day of November de-

what l have read, my fellow citizens.
Is not the statement of the Republican
convention, but of a Democratic con-
vention, the most representative which
probably ever assembled in the country.
Senators and representatives in public
life today, leaders of the Democratic
party in their respective states. thus de-.
nounce the Democratic convention held
in the city of Chicago. They speak
words of truth and soberness. You can
not debase the currency of the United
States without degrading the public hon
or. They speak the voice of patriotism.
They repudiate their own party conyen-
ton and characterize its resolutions as
unsound, injudicious, unpatriotic, and
revolutionary. They are to be com
mended! by every lover of his country
everywhere for their courageous stand
and for their bold denunciation of doc
trines which, although adopted by n con-
yention representing large body of
democrats, are menace to the peace
and tranquility, the credit and the cur.

The Crisis is BraveIy Met.
"It falls to the Republican party this
year, as in many other years of the past
to carry the standard of national honor,
and it shall never be lowered In its
hands. 1t meets the crisis with the old
time courage. and If it is given power
the whole world will know that il will
never permit tire currency of the country
to be debased or its financial honor
stained. Our adversaries talk fuently
about the money of the fathers" I
want to say for the fathers that their
money was always good and honest.

tngmen.
Concluding his preceding address to
the miners. Maj. Mckinley had to but
face about to find patiently awaiting an
audience of some 300 steel workers, en-
ployed by the Otis Steel company of
Cleveland. This party was introduced
by Otto Grabien. and Maj. Mckinley
responded briefly. saying:
81 am honored by this visit and en-
couraged by it because / know that you
bring to me assurances of loyalty to the
great principles of the Republican party
and of your untiring zeal to make these
principles victorious ON the Sd day of
November. This audience fairly repre-
sents the conditions with which the bust
ness of this country is done. The men
on the other side of me mine coal. The
men on this side use coal in their mills,
and because you SO use it the others
mine it. If you created no demand for
1t there would be no demand for the
miner.
81 use this illustration to show you how
dependent we are upon each other; how
every thread of business is interviewer
with every other thread of business, and
when you snap one thread you injure all.
When the employer does not find it prof
table to manufacture he ceases to do so,
and when he does not manufacture you
do not have employment. When he finds
it profitable to manufacture you have
steady employment at fair wages. Now,
what we want to do in this country is
to favor whatever policy will encourage
American industry and promote Ameri-
can manufactures. That which will
build more factories and give more en-
ployment to workingmen should be the
true, genuine and universally accepted
American policy.
II am one of those who believe that
we should look after our own people be-
fore we look after the people of other
lands, who owe no allegiance to the gov
eminent of the United States. l believe
the right policy is the one which pro-
tects the American workshop by putting
tariff upon the products of the foreign
workshop. My fellow citizens, do not
believe that we ought to have tariff
policy that will let the products of cheap
er lands and of unpaid labor come into
this country and destroy our manufac-
tories and impoverish and degrade our
labor. The protective policy is my pol
icy. 1t is the doctrine / have always
believed in, and / make no apology to
anybody anywhere for holding that view,
and if on the Sd day of November the
American people in their sovereign ca
pacity shall decree that n protective pol
icy shall be restored and sound money
continue, / hope and fervently pray that
we will enter upon an era of prosperity
that will give happiness and comfort to
every American home. Tremendous

No delegation of the day was more
cordially welcomed than the band of
iron workers from Cleveland whose
sturdy figures and frank faces were seen
as soon as the commercial travellers had
given place, and to them Mr.. Mckinley
said:
II welcome you to Canton and my
home. l am glad to learn from your
banners and your spokesman that you
stand for the great purpose of the Repub-
lican party and the American union, that
gives to every citizen of every race and

people to vote for that policy which will
protect American industry, defend Ameri-

of American wages. / thank you heart

MCKINLEY The FAVORITE
A,ablma Republicans Generally
Oppose Mr.. Reed.
State Executive Committee Stood 16
to O Oh the Relative Merits of
Presidential Candidates.

Birmingham, Ala, Jan. 24.-The State
executive committee of the Republican
party and the State executive committee of
the Populist party met in Birmingham yes
terday. There was u full attendance on the
part of the membership of each party.
In the Republican committee there de-
veloped a Iactional difference between the
Reed and Mckinley forces. 1t was stated
on good authority that the committee stood
sixteen for Mckinley ano. six for Reed.
The Mckinley element had things pretty
much their own way.
The Reed leaders sought to pass fusion
resolutions, but the proposition was voted
down, and by a resolution offered from the
Mckinley side, the question of fusion with
he p r-,litcs was referred to the State
conve IN.
The a1cKinley men had their way in ref
.rence to the basis of representation, and
as to the time for holding the convention,
which was called for the 2Sth day of April,
70 meet in the city of Montgomery
The contest which is going on in the
party for the State chairma nship between
Mr.. Moseley, jr., a Reed leader, and Mr..
Vaughan, a Mckinley leader, did not APP
pear 10 play any part in the meeting yes
terday, and but little was heard of it.
Rumor has it that in all probability when
the State convention meets both of the
present aspirants for the place will be
side-tracked and Col. Ben Delemas, one of
the foremost organizers in the party, given
the craftsmanship.
The Populite committee had to elect
new chairman. Mr.. Dean of Shelby was
selected.
The committee then decided to call
State convention to meet in Montgomery
on the 2Sth day of April, and that to that
convention the question of fusion would be
submitted. A subcommittee was then APP
pointed ard instructed TO wait upon the
Republican committee, which was then in
session only a block away, and inform
that committee of the action taken.

Young Man Found His Father Dead
and Then DISH Dpearpd

Pittsburg. Pa. Jan. 24-Robert Dough-
erty, aged twenty-one. clerk in the
Western Union. went 10 his home last even
ing. a No. 1926 Gibbons street. to find his
father lying dead on the floor. Within the
last few years death has relentlessly pur-
sued the family, which five years ago con-
sisted of ten members. A few months ago
Roberts sister died, and that left but the
father and Robert.
Upon finding the dead body of his father,
Robert returned to the Western Union office,
where he settled up several little debts,
and then sent a note to his aunt Mrs. Gala
CHER, by messenger. In the note Robert
said that his fathers death was probably
due TO nightmare, from which he was q
great sufferer.
Robert asked his aunt to take charge of all
the effects and the balance of his fathers
life insurance after paying the funeral ex-
-Penses. He inclosed in the note the keys
of the house. Then he disappeared, and
the police believe he has drowned himself.

Inks WIN He a Quaker.

Philadelphia. Jan. 24.-The Philadelphia
mana cement has consummated a deal by
which southpaw Inks, now a Colonel Of
Kentucky. will become a Quaker. Yearling
Smith, who pitched one or two games for
the Phillies last year. goes to Louisville
in the trade. and rutnor has IL that a cash
bonus was a part of the transaction. Not
a few patrons of the game believe the local
mana cement want to corner left-hand
pitchers, because all the hitters on the team
become weak against the twirler Of the
left hand.
Inks played with Louisville during "a
and '95' seasons. He was exchanged by
Baltimore for Hemming. Inks has made
a good reputation against the Phillies,
and should certainly prove valuable
addition TO the pitching department.

McMAHoN's CONDITION.


President Hnnlon Not Much Concerned
About the Star Twirler.
Baltimore, Jan. 24.-Manager Hanlon,
Secretary Herman Vonderhorst and seve-
raj baseball enthusiasts met last night at
baseball headquarters and there was much
talk a bout the rum ored sale Of the st. Louis
franchise.
Mr.. Hanlon said that 100000, the al
legged offer. was a, big price for the st.
Louis franchise and team, and If he was in
Won der s14fIe'seplace he-wonld not require
much persuasion to close the deal at those
figures.
He was asked what he thought OF Pitcher
McMahon's condition. He replied: Mac
told me he would be all right when the bell
tapped. and believe he Will do not ex-
pect him to exceed his ability of former
years. but do say this: He can e oback a
little and yet be good enough to win"
To the question asked by well-known
enthusiast, as TO whether Mr.. Hanlon lad
yet secured a utility man, an evasive an
swer was made, and the gentleman said:
''You get that man on the Lynchburg, Va,
team told you about. Heis goodplayer.'
The manager made a memorandum of the
great L ynchburgcrs address.
