Some Good Advice That All
Americans Would Do Well
to Follow.
MANY DELEGATIONS ARE GOING
Canton Continues to Be the Mecca for
Those Who Favor Protection
and Pros perity.

CANTON, OHIO, Oct. 5.-Major McKin-
ley had an unexpected call this evening
from several hundred of the first voters of
bands at half-past 8 o'clock. T. f. Tur-
ner made some pleasant remarks for the
first voters, to which Major Mckinley re-
sponded as follows:
am glad, young men of Canton, to meet
you at my home tonight, and congratulate
you upon having enrolled yourselves on the
side of the Republican party. No party ever
had grander history; no party ever did more
for American kind, for liberty, for equality
and for the progress and glory of the country
than the party in whose cause you have en-
listed. No party appeals more to the inteili-
gence and pride and the patriotism of young
men than ours. l appreciate this call The
Young men are always an inspiration to me.
They represent the community, the State and
the Nation. [App!a ause.l In little while
will fall upon them the duties and responsi-
bilities which are now borne by those who are
older. l love to have the young men about
me; and can do no better than to say to you
to-day-those of you who have your careers
ye ito make and your fortunes yet to build,
than to say to you that there is nothing in
this world that will serve you so well as good
character, clean in morals and in life.
do not care what you may conclude to do
whether you engage in business or q pro-
fession; what you may choose as your occupa-
tion-there is nothing that will count so
N uch, or mean so much, or wear so well, as
good habits and spotless name. Applause |
You have done well in this first voting to en-
list under the banner of the Republican party,
which, in my judgment, represents the best
ov,d Cr.fr COffI 1a
and embraces within its doctrines and pur-
poses the honor of the country and the great
est prosperity of all the people. [Great ap-
plause.l
Major Mckinley had a quiet time to-
day, so far as the calls of visitors and dele
gates were concerned. The one delega-
ton scheduled for to-day failed to come,
and there were few callers. Major Nc
Kinley was grateful for the respite, for it
gave him an opportunity for uninter-
rupted work on the speeches which he is
to make Tuesday and later in the week.
Four delegations are expected to-mor-
row-oEe from Syracuse, one from Buff
falo, one from Michigan and one from In
diana.
Judge A. W. Tenny of Brooklyn was
one of Major McKinley's callers to-day.
He has been making speeches in Virginia
and West Virginia and firmly believes the
Republicans will carry both States. He is
confident that the plurality for the Re-
publican ticket in West Virginia will ex-
ceed 10000. He is of the opinion that a
large number of Democrats of Virginia
will support Palmer and Buckner and the
vote of the State be so split that The Re-
pubIicans can elect their electoral ticket.
A dispatch from Virginia tonight says
that the excursion of ex-Confederates
from the Shenandoah Valley will arrive
IN Canton Friday morning at $50. The
delegation of -Confederates will come
on four special trains of ten coaches each.
Major Mckinley received by express to-
day fine live eagle from State Senator
E. s. DenIson of California. The letter
which came with the eagle said: 81 send
you live. American eagle captured in the
hills of Berkeley as a worthy and en-
blematic mascot in this patriotic cam
paign for protection and sound money.
He bears encouraging news from Califor-
MIA, and fairly illustrates the watchful
eye, strength of purpose and unconquer-
able will and spirit that animates the Re-
publican party in this distant State"
