| S%AN 1O4N, OHIO, Ocl. G.-ASlQe from
two organized delegations, Maj. Nc
Kinley today had many distinguished
callers. Among them were Harry Gar
field. Of Ohio; Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, of Massachusetts; Theodore
Roosevelt, of New York; Congressman
Nelson A. Dingley. chairman of the
| house ways and means committee, OF
Maine; Rutherford Hayes, of Ohio and
Robinson Locke, of Toledo. Mr. Ding
| ley said he expected McKinley's cleo
ton to be emphatic and overwhelming.
He also expects the next house to be
Republican and against free silver by
large majority. He is hopeful that
the senate will be carried in the gem
eral victory. Mr.. Roosevelt says the
Republican sentiment in the East
amounts to tidal wave and he be-
lieves it will sweep over and engulf
the West. Senator Lodge predicted an
unprecedented Republican majority in
| Massachusetts and complete victory in
the nation for the Republican party.
A telegram from James r. Dunn, at
| Chicago headquarters, said the bad
weather of the week had interfered
with the wheelmen's arrangements for
tomorrow, but that about 5000 would
come to Canton. Chicago will send be-
tween 300 and 400. and parties assembled
at Cleveland and Pittsburg will ssther
up recruits en- route. Eleven other
| delegations are scheduled for tomorrow,
coming from Ohio, Pennsylvania and
| Illinois points. y
The clouds seem to have at last un-
f1air h,7r dan
it was clear and bright, but the almost
continuous downpouIs since last Satur-
day had left the Mckinley lawn soft
and muddy and today's demonstra-
| tions, as were those Of the earlier days
of the week, were held in the Taber-
nacle. The first party to arrive came
in a special train Of four coaches from
Wheeling, representing the Pan Handle
counties of West Virginia. A washout
on the B. & o. separated this party,
and those beyond that point were left
behind. Another detachment of the
party came by way of the Wheeling
& Lake Erie, g. little later than the
special train. The delegation was pre-
sented by Attorney T. M. Garvin, of
Wheeling.
Before Maj Mckinley reached the
Tabernacle a special train arrived with
delegation from Huron and Seneca
counties, Ohio, and the two delegations
were merged into one meeting. The
| introduction of Mr.. Garvin was followed
by introductions Of G. H Henning and
Mr.. Francis, Of Chicago Junction, Ohio,
for railroad men Of that vicinity and by
T. w. Kirkland, of Plymouth, for Sene-
ca county. Maj. Mckinley made a
| response to all in one address.
A Republican has no embarrassment in
speaking to an American audience. He does
not have to make different speech for each

Of West Virginia or any other state South,
he could say in New England or in the far
West or on the Pacific coast, for the princi-

as our flag. Applause.) Their purposes
embrace the good of every American interest
i and section. The great thought of the peo-
| side, or whatever may be their occupations, is
| how are we to get back as a nation to the old
conditions Of business activity and prosperity.
Something has gone wrong We have the
same country, we have the same men, the
| same mines, the same manufactures, the
| same money, the same masterful genius
and 1892. but we have not the same degree
| of prosperity that We had then. And what
i is the trouble? "a voice: Free trade fol-
lowed by great applause.)
In single word, the trouble with the coun-
| try is lack of confidence. AS to what has
| brought about this lack of confidence we
may differ, but every citizen has felt the
lack of confidence in bis own experience.
| Now. what is this thing called business
confidence?' It Is belief in the stability
| OUR MARKETS AND OUR MONEY.
faith that the consumption of next year will
be as great or greater than the present one
faith that men will 4have work and that the
| stable. The merchant has confidence when
| ne stocks his shelves with more goods in
| expectation Of larger sales. The manufac-
| turer has confidence when he increases his
machinery, hires more men, adds new fac
| tory, lays in his material in advance GER
tain that it will not decline before his finished
product Is sold; confident that he can paw
| wages to labor and prices for his raw mater
| ial and not find in the end that his goods

! Tremendous cheering.)
| The laborer feels this confidence when, as
| sured of steady employment, he buys a lot
and starts the building Of house for him
| self and his family. The farmer feels this
| confidence when he plants generously, conf
dent that what he reaps will be in dnmand
| and bring him fair return for his toll The
railroad company feels. 1t when It extends
| It's lines and its switches, gets new equip
ment and improves its old equipment and
| gives employment to workingmen. The bank
! er feels 1t when he loans freely Of his capital
ana deposits and knows that when his loans
| are returned they viii be in good sound
money. And the depositor feels this conf
! dence when he takes his money from its hid
ing place-where much Of 1t is today-and
| puts it in bank sure that he can draw If
out, according to his necessity or inclina-
ton, in as good money as he put in.
Tnis thing called business confidence
never closed American mills, never reduced
| wages or curtale employment never re-
FUSED loans. never got run on a bank, never
| stopped a mine, never created idleness among
/ labor-ng men, When confidence is present
with us, the sheriff has less to do and adver-
| tises fewer forced sales The court docket
registers fewer judgments; public charity Is
less invoked and the free soup house" is un-
known and unnecessary. When confidence is
shaken, misfortune comes not singly but In
battalons, and suffering falls on every COM
munity. No part Of our population is ex-
empt- 1t may come from one thing or It
| may come from another. Doubt in the BUSH
ness world is death to business. We have It
now. We know the hour 1t came We
know what brought, it, and think we know
how to get rid Of it, We2have had it in the
United States to a greater or less degree from
