CANTON, O., Oct. 14.-William Mckinley
delivered four speeches to-day to as many
delegations and also made a brief address
to number of circus employees who called
at his home and presented him with a
large American flag. The first delegation
came in about noon a special train of
eleven coaches. 1t was composed largely
of railroad men, farmers and other citi-
zens from Mcdonald, Pa. Their demonstra-
ton was very enthusiastic and Major Nc
Kinleys address, responding to the spokes-
man, Charles A. Whiteshot, was constant
ly interrupted by applause. The Major was
in good voice, and many Cantonians who
heard him said it was one of the best he
has delivered.
The Early Settlers Association of Guy
ahoga county, Ohio, came next to greet
Major Mckinley, his wife and mother. The
party occupied a special train of six
coaches, which arrived soon after 1 o'clock
Mother Mckinley was at the Majors home
to receive the greetings of the party. In
troductory addresses were made by Father
HI. NJ. Addison, the veteran journalist, of
Cleveland, and by Rev. Cooley, chaplain Of
the Early Settlers Association. Mr.. Nc
Kinleys reply was made with much feeling
and 1t was evident the address in behalf
of the old people had deeply touched the
nominee.
Later in the afternoon seven carloads of
employees of the Cleveland City Street-rail-
road Company paid their respects to Major
Mckinley. They were all uniformed and
were particularly well drilled The delega-
ton was one of the best appearing and
most attractive crowds that has yet visited
the city. 1t was introduced by Thomas
Martin.
Two hundred miners, merchants and me-
chanics of Cumberland, Nd and vicinity
reached here shortly before o'clock this
evening. They went direct to the McKin-
ley home, and when the Major appeared
the porch greeted him WITH shout and
a. hurrah. They were introduced by
Thomas Snyder. chairman of the Allegheny
county executive committee.
Barnum e. Bailey's circus was in town
to-day and the parade extended be-
yond the usual course so as to pass the
Mckinley home, where it reviewed by
Major and Mrs. Mckinley and a number
of friends. In honor of the visit to Nc
Kinleys home the circus people all wore
the national colors and the tent was elab-
orately decorated. The press box was re-
served for Mrs. Mckinley and d company
of friends, and they attended the show to-
night. The employees of the circus pre-
sented Major Mckinley with a large and
handsome American flag through a COM
mittee, which called at the house. Major
Mckinley accepted the flag with an appro-
pirate address.
