New YORK, Aug. I.-Tammany hall

waiting for the state convention. The
executive committee has passed by ac-
clamation resolution to that effect,

that at the Chicago convention the del,

duly expressed.

| CANTON, July 30-Perhaps the most
enthusiastic delegation that has yet
| come to Canton arrived here from Knox
vile, suburb of Pittsburg, at o'clock
this afternoon. They had travelled 100
miles in heat and storm, but were enthu-
siastic, with bands and banners. John
p Everhard, president of the Mckinley
and Hobart club, and who is also pres
ident of the Glass Workers union act
ed as the spokesman. He put the tariff
issue above all Others
In part he said: I'VE come from that
wonderful hive of industry, that mighty
workshop composed of Pittsburg and its
neighboring boroughs. We are Republic
cans, and we believe in our party and its
principles. We are proud of it's record
and the result of it's policy in the past,
and have faith in that party as being the
only medium through which we may
hope for a return of prosperity to the
people. both in the agricultural and
manufacturing industries of the coun-
try.
I'VE believe in bimetallism, and we
recognize in the Republican party and
it's platform the only real, true and safe
advocate of that policy, namely, the use
of both gold and silver as money; each
Interchangeable with the other; each
dollar as good as every other dollar. We
do not, and we feel assured you do not,
believe in monometallism, or the use of
either gold or silver as the only money,
and knowing this we know you will OPP
pose the visionary ideas of those who
seek to create value by the Legislative
fiat of this nation alone, and the at
tempt Of those who seek to place us upon
the single silver basis, thereby driving
our gold out of circulation and out of the
country. We believe you will use all
the powers you may possess as the chief
executive of the United States to bring
about an international agreement,
which is the only manner in which it
can be accomplished the restoration OF
silver as money metal on q fixed ratio
with gold.
1--WE believe. sir, that wise legislation
on the tariff question, on the principle
of protection and to the end that it will
yield an abundant revenue for the ex-
penses of the government for the pay
ment of it's debts, for the improvement
of our rivers and harbors for the up
building of our navy and for internal i'm
provements of various kinds, will re-
store our country to great prosperity
and will solve the money problem, about
which so many of our people seem to be
concerned.

west of this city this afternoon about
o'clock, and within period of thirty min
| utes a mighty torrent of water had
| spread desolation along both Farmers
and Fishers runs, in the lower part of
this city. No lives were lost, as there
were persons along the creeks who saw
the water come down the valley and
ran from house to house warning the
people. Everybody fled, many wading
knee deep in water. from their homes
to the hills which line both sides. Two
hundred people are homeless tonight as
the result of the flood. The damage will
aggregate 100000.
The water came down the creeks
twenty feet high, sweeping before it the
barns, houses, bridges, trees and out
buildings. Nine dwellings and one store
were washed away and completely
wrecked. Twenty-Five other dwellings
were wrecked or damaged by the water
and mud that settled over everything.
All railway traffic through here is sus-
pended tonight.
