Monday afternoon after conference
Of the Executive committee:
"The election of Mckinley aud
Hobart is an accomplished and as.
sured fact. They will receive 270

110, and there are six States having

but the probabilities all point to the
fact that these 67 votes will 60 into

The Trip to Canton,

The special train which left this
section last Friday carried Just five
hundred people to Canton, where
they had the pleasure of shaking
hands with Maj jor Mckinley, and lis.
ening to one OF his eloquent and
pleasing addresses. The train made
very good time arriving at Canton at
about 2 o'clock. The parade formed
at the depot and marched to the Nc.
Kinley homestead, where Mr.. G. P.
Bucklin, of Tidioute, through whose
efforts the excursion was gotten up,
presented the citizens of Warren and
Forest counties to the next President.
Major Mckinley made brief ad.
dress in which he said:

Warren and Forest Counties, Pennsylva-

moved since the st. Louis convention.

call from nearly all Western Pennsylva-

grandest principles that were ever advo-
Gated by any political party and for the
greatest party in the world. We have
had i'm this country since the beginning
of the government trial of two revenue

it has brought injury to practically every
American interest. It has favored every
other nation but our own, and we are
suffering as a consequence. Now that is
one phase OF our contention this year,
upon which you will vote.
The other is whether we will have n
good, round, sound dollar with which to
do our business, or whether we will do
our business with deprecated changing

know, believes in the protective system

in an honest dollar with which to measure

Forest couuty's two handsome
banners were born aloft in the pro.
cession by Messrs Andrew Carr and
Ed. Bumgardner, and attracted gen.

lined either side of the streets along
the route, The day was beautiful

both in numbers aud enthusiasm.
As soon as the Warren aud Forest
delegations had shaken hands, ano.
ther delegation numbering fifteen
hundred or more marched up, and
shortly after them came the ex Con.

valley, Virginia, one thousand
strong, and attended by thousands of
friends from all along the route. The
streets leading to the Majors home
we're a dense mass If people, and

The soldiers Friend.

When Hon. w. c. Arnold was
candidate for Congress two years ago
he declared that if elected he would
do his utmost in behalf Of the old
and deserving soldiers of his district.
How we'll he has kept his pledge is
shown by his record which is one to
which his friends point with pride.
Thus far there have been granted
through Mr.. ArnOld's personal efforts
237 pensions be has also had several
hundred claims placed upon the
Especial list," which it is expected
will be disposed of before January /,
1897, and has also given time and
special attention to over 800 claims
which are now in course of adjust
ment.
This is certainly a good showing
one which indicates Mr.. Arnold's de.
sire to keep his ante.election promise
and one which should entitle him to
the loyal support of the old soldiers
of his district. Dubois Courier.

a short speech.
There was second outburst of cheering

duced which lasted several minutes, and
while 1t was in progress sixty singers,
chosen from among the city's banks, sang
"The Star Spangled Banner" the vast
audience swelling the chorus with ire
mendous effort. Frequent outbreaks Of
cheers followed Mr., Cockran's periods
He spoke in substance as follows:
"Mr. Chairman ladies and gentlemen,
fellow Democrats all With the inspiring
strains of that national song still ringing
in our ears, who can doubt the issue of
this campaign? Stripped ofall verbal dis
guise 1t is an issue of common honesty,
an issue between the honest discharge
and the dishonest repudiation of public
and private obligations. 1t is a question
as to whether the powers of this govern
ment shall be used to protect honest in
dustry or to tempt the citizen to dishon-
esty. On this question honest men can
not differ. 1t is one of morals and Of JUS
tice. 1t involves the existence of social
order. 1t is the contest for civilization it
self.
"A Democratic convention may re-
nounce the Democratic faith, but the De-
mocracy remains faithful to Democratic
principles. Democratic leaders may be-
tray convention to the Populists, but
they cannot seduce the footsteps of Demo-
cratic voters from the pathway Of honor
and of justice. A candidate bearing the
mandate Of Democratic convention may
in this hall open a canvass leveled against
the foundations Of social order and he be-
holds the Democratic masses confronting
him organized for the defense.
A solemn Burden of Duty.
"Fellow Democrats, let us not disguise
from ourselves the fact that we bear in
this contest "a serious and grave and sol
emn burden of duty. We must raise our
hands against the nominee Of our party,
and we must do il to preserve the future
of the party itself. We must oppose the
nominee of the Chicago convention, and
we know full we'll that the success Of our
opposition will mean our own exclusion
from public life, but we will be consoled
and nratified by the reflection that it will
prove that the American people cannot be
divided into parties on question Of sim
pie morals or of common honesty.
