AT CANTON
Whatever the Weather the Working
men Must Go

CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 6-Rain and
slush did not keep the big delegations
from Canton today. No more enthus-
iastic callers have been here than those
from Tonawanda. Buffalo and Syracuse,
N. Y, and Lenawee county. Michigan.
Through the drenching showers and
mud the callers marched to the McKin-
ley home, making ths city resound with
their enthusiasm, while mounted troops
and large bands of music and finely
drilled companies uniformed in mack
intoshes invoked cheers from thousands
who stood sheltered in the doorways and
under awnings, while the visitors
marched by. The formal receptions OF
the visiting delegations did not end the
demonstrations. AS soon as the city
was shrouded in darkness. the clubs
were again on the streets. Michigan.
New York and Pennsylvania united to
form the spectacle. When the parade
was well organized it marched and
countermarched past the Mckinley
home and was reviewed from the littls
stand on the front lawn by Major Nc
Kinley and Mrs. Mckinley and a num-
Der Of friends Of the family. A special
train of five coaches arrived about 8
o'clock this afternoon bearing the lum-
ber dealers of Buffalo and Tonawanda.
This was a distinguished appearing
and thoroughly enthusiastic body. It
was composed of business men COM
nected with the lumber trade. and, ac-
cording to the statement of the spolres-
man. included many former Demo

Mr.. Bryan insisted that his policy
was truly democratic, and he declared
that every undemocratic influence in
the country was opposed to it. He en-
deavored to show that it was battle

country to the level of Mexico. Mr.. Bry-

He added that he noted in the news

ROANOKE, Va, Oct. 6.-The Roam
oke Times will tomorrow print an open
letter from G. w. B. Hale, Populist ma
tional committeeman for Virginia, 70
Tom Watson, asking the latter to with
draw from the presidential ticket. The
letter says in part:
Hon. Tom Watson: From a sense OF
patriotic duty 1 write to urge you to
cease your opposition to fusion where
the same is generally believed to be of
advantage to the immediate success of
financial reform,to which you have very
greatly contributed. There is no earthly
chance of your election; If our cause
wins in this race Bryan and Sewall are
elected. Whilst I greatly prefer a
southern man to vote for, and man
who, like yourself, has been in the fore
front of the hitherto battles fought for
reform, yet cannot hesitate to support
Mr.. Sewall, not only because Of his
availability, but also because I believe
that If elected and the opportunity
presents itself, Mr. Sewall would con-
scierftiously carry out the full text Of the
platform upon which he is elected.
am not one who thinks that because
Mr.. Sewall is at present banker that
he is obdurate on the question of ma
tional banks. I do not blame the indi-
vidual; blame the law that legislates
national banks. You say the man who
votes for Sewall had as we'll and as con-
sistently vote for Hobart. The former
declares himself in favor Of free coinage
at the ratio Of 16 to /; the other favors
monometallism.
Quite difference, my 16 to friend.
The former Is willing right now to es-
tsblish free and unlimited coinage; the
latter is willing to postpone action until
Gladstone and the merchant govern
ment of England say so. The former IL
tangible; the latter is positively not so.
In conclusion, my dear sir. allow me
to emphasize that your staying on the
ticket jeopardizes the success of our
cause, and that a withdrawal on your
part would be heralded with patriotic
delight by many of our party friends
and largely by those who esteem you az
a great and good man. Yours truly,

storming Of the first ice palace built in ST.
raul. Nothing that has occurred since has
ever equaled the crush Of people on that
night. IL remains to be seen whether the
crowds today will break the record. That Is
scarcely probable, however, as on the night of
the storming nobody attempted to leave the
city until the display was over, about $40.

And as there were no Interurban street cars.
the visitors from Minneapolis, which Included

ly4olaims. that his Democracy is as
genuine and unsullied today as it has
been during all the years when he was
an honored representative and leader
or his party. What say the Democrats
Of the country to his appeal? We have
no doubt of thsif reply. and we ask
that every m~anaof.them read the SPLEEN
did speech iniMhich he set forth the
purposes of the National Democrats.
and exposed the sure consequences of
the success Of the, Chicago platform
and nominees.
On the mopey question alone, to
which Mr. Bryan has practically linn
tied his campaign, Gov. Flower pune
lures his whole argument at a single
stroke. AS he says, every evil that
can be connected even in Imagination
with gold monometallism inheres also
in silver recommendation. If the amount
of one metal in the world be INSULT
cient to transact it's business, certain
ly that of the other is also. He who
asks US to step from the, yellow plat
form to the white thereby confesses
that, as far as the relation of the vol
ume of money to the business of the
country is concerned, we cannot be bet
ter off. We do cut ourselves off from
commercial association on equal terms
with the great foremost nations of the
world and affiliate with the low stand
ard races, where labor and human life
are in their worst estate. We MAKE
this sacrifice for nothing; yet it is that
which the free silver people propose.
AS Gov. Flower pertinently notes, there
is no reference to or promise of "bi-
metallism" in the Chicago platform.
"Bimetallism, he says truly, sis a
genuine Democratic doctrine, but BIZ
metallism can never b. obtained by the
men who dominated the Chicago con-
vention or by the method implied in
the Chicago platform. There is reason
to doubt whether the forces which con-
trolled that convention even desired to
accomplish bimetalIism."
This is the plain fact, and 1t ex-
poses the audacity and narrowness of
the issue on which it has been attempt
ed to conduct this-campaign. Mr.. Bryan
represents silver recommendation pure
and simple. The most intelligent Of his
supporters do hoto think Of denying
that the success Of his cause would
limit this country To the issue of sill
yer as a money metal If their con-
tention that the volume of money is
inadequate were true, as it is not, still
we would profit nothing by the change.
We would, instead, suffer an immense
currency contraction, along with all
the other evils of an altered and vari-
able standard. With such hammer
blows as this did Gov. Flower attack
every part and plank of the Chicago
and st. transformations in their
assault upon Democratic doctrine
and American prosperity, and vindi-
cate his loyalty to the party
of which he has been so long
an honored member. Brave words and
true words have been spoken by the
men whose meeting and whose course
at Indianapolis are evidence of their
desperate earnestness, and among
them all none will better zeal study
and remembrance than those of Ros-
well P. Flower l11c-1 - f1Z@

another which no other convention has
dared to use, that III present paper
issues are a patchwork scheme and
"a constant source of injury and peril"
Nc part of this platform is more &C.
ceptable than that which, blazing out
only possible principle on which a
sound and adequate currency can rest;
namely, the separation of the treasury
from the banking business and the
provision of a note issue through the
banks supervised and guaranteed
against loss by federal authority, reg

needs of business, and paying into the

by whom it should be issued and re-
deemed. Since the foundation of this
government there has been no greater
reform or advance than that which will
be marked by the adoption of the Ma
tional Democratic position or finance.
These, of course, are the main pill
lars of this admirable platform. 1t con-
tains besides a just acknowledgements
of the high character and great serv-
ices of President Cleveland. 1t COM
mends heartily civil service reform and
demands that it go forward until the
spells system be utterly destroyed. 1t
calls for economy in appropriations,
favors arbitration for the settlement
of international disputes, advises a lib
eral pension policy, declares that the
supreme court must be kept free from
coercion and proclaims the Democratic
party as the guardian of public order
and private right. These are the old
familiar flags under which the battles
of our party have been fought. These,
and not the new insignia Of doubt and
danger and promised revolution, will
we follow. These were the lines that
guided those great men who first
dreamed Of a great republic wherein
equal right and justice should prevail.
There is no other gospel of Democracy.
Plain and simple lies the way before
us. Not by legislative legerdemain;
not by the clamor of some wordy can
didate for office; not by some impossi-
BILE new discovery in political science;
but by the old avs Of insuring to each
man absolute freedom, so far as it is
consistent with the equal freedom of
every man, of saying to politicians and
governments Hands off" and leaving
mankind at liberty to develope accord
ing to the aptitudes that God i'm
planted in them, with only the SOW
ereign flag of an impartial government
floating above them to guarantee their
common rights, shall the ideal republic
be brought to birth. We have
struggled toward it now for a
century. In the name OF that De-
mocracy which cannot perish while the
republic shall endure, we declare our
mistaken allegiance to these principles
and I'LL acceptance of this noble plat
form; that represents the truest and
best things in the Democratic party,
in political science and in the generous
aspiration of the patriot for his coun-
try and for mankind.
