DUPLICATION AFTER DELEGATION Flowing Into Canton to Wait Upon Major
 Mckinley.

Canton, Oct. 6.-Rain fell steadily through the afternoon and Major Me-
 Kinley had to welcome the visiting
 delegates. A party of lumber men from Pennsylvania arrived at p. m. Major
 Mckinley quoted statistics showing
 that the lumber industry was one of the greatest in the country He spoke of the heavy decrease in the number
 trade at Buffalo and Tonawanda. He said:
 Canadian free lumber has been en- couraged at the expense of the lumber interests of the state of New York and all the other lumber states of the
 union. I believe in the policy that gives preference to Buffalo and Tona- wanda rather than to Montreal and Toronto. Tremendous cheers.) Like all the other features of free trade it
 has helped to make us poor for the ad- vantage of other nations. The major then spoke of the rapid growth of Buff falo under the protective system and of the marvellous growth of our in ternal commerce. He said the tonnage
 of the lake Erie and the great lakes, | United States and Canada for 228 days,
 was 2S, 991, $50 tons-the greatest water
 commerce of the world" (Great ap- plause)
 The major said he was in favor of encouraging shipping in every proper and suitable way and of the restora- l tion of tariff system which built up home factories, home markets and home trade and which made this won- derful commerce possible.
 A Syracuse, N. Y, delegation, com l prfsing $50 voters and several ladies,
 delegation Major Mckinley, in part, said
 | "The campaign of 1894 was peculiarly a campaign of the people, when they | expressed themselves for the first time after the change of 1892. Their verdict
 was an impressive protest against the
 tariff legislation of a democratic con-
 gress. The same question is presented
 now as then, with the added one which involves the character of our currency and the inviolability of our credit. If
 the free trade policy of the democratic congress merited, as I think justly, the you gave IL, lOW
 greater must be your vote of protest
 and disapproval, when it is coupled | with the proposition to enter upon the l free and unlimited coinage of the sil- yer of the world. Greatly as you have suffered in your business enterprises by the tariff policy which has prevail ed for the past three years the new issue would still further entail loss and injury"
 The, delegation from Michigan, num- boring 800, marched into the hall as the Syracuse visitors left. In his ad- dress to the delegation, Major McKin- 1 ley said: T am glad to meet the re- l publicans of a state which almost from 1 it's beginning has given uninterrupted majorities for the republican party. If
 Michigan be counted on this year loud
 cries of "Yes, yes; by 50,000, 10000 and 75o0O' followed by tremendous applause
 and waving of hats.)
 Major Mckinley then made brief
 protection and sound money address

THE FL0RIDA ELECTION.
Democratic Plurality Estimated to be
 10000.

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 6.-The elec- ton in Florida to-day passed off quiet lv. but the meagre returns so far re- ceived indicate that a very light vote was cast. The election was held under the Australian ballot law, and demo- crats, republicans and populists alike are dissatisfied with it. The count is exceedingly slow. owing to the length of the ballot. Estimates tonight place the democratic majority at not over 20, ,00O, and it may fall below those fig ures.
 The republicans will probably have four, and perhaps six, members of the legislature out of a total of one hun dred.
 If the majority for Bloxham. dem.. for governor reaches 10000. 1t will still be falling off of from 1000 from the majority for Mitchell, dem., four years ago.
