The delegation was n grand outpour-

their enthusiasm md splendid appear
ance. The delcgation's train was run
In three sections and included twenty
SIX cars In all. The towns OF New Castle,
Ellwood, Wnmpum, MlhoningtOwn and
Bessemer were all we'll represented.
, AT many OF the stations along the
oad word had been received that the
delegation was coming, ana there were
large crowds at he depot to cheer Tor

along.
Music on the Way.
AT Canton, the usual mounted escort
and about half the population OF the
town were at the depot and a monster
street parade was formed. 4 four
horse dray was in waiting, and after
much hard work the caIllopc was placed
on this and carried ut the head OF the
procession. S@EE
The procession stretched out for n
mile. with the callIop". the cannon and
the bands. the noise was tremendous.
Added 10 this We're the frequent cheers
OF those on the sidewalks and In the line
Of march. The banners carried were
significant and met with the greatest
applause. Some OF the most striking
inscriptions were as follows:
mo ten cent 4 day Chinese monetary
system for US"
We want II factory furnaces start
cd, not silver mine owners made rich"
Down with the anarchists"
Give ustback the prosperous days OF
the Mckinley tariff"
One In the shape Of 4 keystone read:
"l6 to l.-SiNtecu men out OF work 10
OF working" ON the. Callioqc were the
words. Lawrence county blows for
mckinley and Hobart" on u huge tin
horn carried on the shoulders OF eight
strong MEN We're the words, "Guod-by,
Willie Bryan"
All OF these sentiments created the
greatest enthusiasm as the procession
passed along the streets. Almost all Of
Canton went with the delegation to Ma
jor McKinley's house. The crowd filed
the yard and street and overrun the nd
Joining yards. Many climbed the trees
In the majors yard in order 10 see him

Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Il. Phillips. Mr.. and

Hamilton. entered the house and were
introduced 10 Major and Mrs. Mckinley.
Presently Major Mckinley appeared
and the applause that greeted him was
CeafentHg. II lnSte6fully five minutes.
After Colonel Jackson had spoken, and
just before Major Mckinley began 10
speak. the threatening clouds opened
and Il began TO rain. This did not
damren the enthusiasm OF the thou
sands. however. Every man and wO-
ma in the crowd stood in the rain, lis
t"ning and cheering just as ii the sun
was shining. Tho Few who were fortu-
nate tn have umbrellas very soon forgot
about the rain and logan tossing them
in the air in their enthusiasm.
