Canton, O., Oct. S.-With the returning of 300 swarthy, dark haired Italian Americans with banners and band from Pittsburg, representing the United Ital- ian Republican clubs of that city. These Italian-born citizens have learned to cheer and they gave Major Mckinley stirring welcome when he appeared on the porch to address them. The spokes- man for the clubs was Lewis Beggino, and he made speech which was a model of brevity, and which could be initiated with profit by the spokesmen of all dele gations which come here. Major Me Kinley expressed great satisfaction with 1t. This is what MT. Beggino said:
 Major Mckinley, have been assigned the pleasing task of introducing to you this delegation of Italian-Americans members of the United Italian Republi- can clubs of the city of Plttsburg. These humble toilers are here to greet you as the gallant standard bearer of the party which stands for the promotion of the best interests of all who labor for their daily bread, and they yield to nobody in their devotion to the traditions and prin- ciples of that glorious old party"
 Major Mckinley then addressed the delegation. After briefly reviewing the
 
 cluded as follows:
 q am especially gratified to be assured that our Italian fellow citizens are enroll ed this year in the ranks of the great re- publican party, and that they are enlisted in a patriotic effort to achieve a victory for themselves, for their labor, for their occupations and for their country" (Cries of three cheers for the next presi- dent).
 A delegation of 100 republicans which left Logansport, Ind, at o'clock this morning arrived here about 2 o'clock. With the delegation were w. T. Wilson, the spokesman, Dr. J. z. Powell candi- date on the republican presidential elec- torel ticket and s. D. Brand. In address ing this delegation Major Mckinley dweit upon the inability of the govern men5 to create value of money. He said if b. 1iere fiat the government could raise 10 cents to 100 cents in value, then the work of Washington, Hamilton and Jefferson in the construction of a finan- cial system was folly and the people have been robbed of all that has been taken from them in taxes.
 "But," declared Major Mckinley, "the government cannot create something out of nothing and the man or party which teaches that it can, teaches false doc Urine.
 Why, that which costs man nothing is not worth much is it? And if this gov
 
 cost to itself, then that money Is value less-valueless for every purpose. It is value in money that makes it a stable medium of exchange among the people. The point l make is this, that we must get over the idea in this country that the government makes its money The gov ernment gets it's money just as the citi- zen does, by giving something for it. The government raises $400 0000 900 every year by taxing it's people, and the products of other people coming into the United States and the latter is the policy of the republican party. (Great cheering)
 ''We do not believe that the govern ment should make money by setting It's printing presses and it's hints to work, but that the best thing it can do for it's revenue is to put tariff on foreign prod ucts of every kind that compete with American products, and make that tariff high enough, too, to protect the Ameri- serve the law of f-preservation-to look after ourselves, look after our indi- vidual occupations and employments and after the American home, which your spokesman has so eloquently de- scribed. It lies at the foundation of so- ciety, of every community, of every state and of the nation, and there comes up from the plain American home, the homes of the plain people of the country, a sentiment for good government and good patriotism, such as can be found scarcely anywhere else in the world. Not only, my fellow citizens, do we want a good tariff, but we want good money. Great applause)
 There never was an aim that the re- publican party had that did not embrace the good of all the people. N.That's rightvo There is one thing our old par ty never did-it never struck blow ex- cept for human freedom. Great ap- plause.) It never made a law that did not embrace every American interest; it never had a purpose which was not pa triotfc and it stands this year, as 1t has stood in all the years of the past, for public safety, for public honor, good morals, good government, good laws, and for country whose currency and credit will not be questioned anywhere in the world"
 delegation, 1000 strong, which was the next to arrive, was a representative one, composed of miners, lumbermen, farmers and working men.
 More than 2000 voters of Cleveland, in uniform and accompanied by excellent bands, marched up while Major McKin- ley was addressing his Pennsylvania visitors. When he had finished the Cleve- land men passed in review before him and were loudly oheered by the other visi- tors to Canton, who remained to see him. The Cleveland delegation filed into Major McKinley's yard and packed 1t densely. The majors appearance on the porch drew forth tornado of applause, which in volume, intensity and dura ton. has not been equalled here.
 Five hundred ex-Confederate Veterans are expected to reach Canton at S.30 o'clock Friday morning from the Shenan-- dosh valley. They will be entertained by the local Grand Army posts in the taber- nacle. They will call on Major Mckinley about 10 o'clock
