SPIRIT Of COHESION
MKINLEY, MARKS THE PRES
ENT CAMPAIGN.
SENTIMENT is MISTAKEN
BY THOSE WHO DECLARE THAT A

EXISTS.
ALL RECORDS BROKEN AT CANTON
States ThrOnged the Lawn of the
Republican Nominee

CANTON, O., Oct 24-"The like of
this has never been seen on earth be-
FORE" said Charles Emory Smith, ex-
minister to Russia, as he stood review
ing the great line Of marchers and
countermarchers parading today on
broad North Market street, to and from
the Mecca of the pilgrimages of pee-
pie from many states. Today,s visit
ors again broke the record in long dis
lance parties and in variety of dele
cations. Business men and farmers
came from New York; farmers, rail-
road men and workingmen called by
thousands from Missouri, Iowa and
Kansas. From early dawn until late
tonight the Mckinley home was sur
rounded with q continuous jam, re-
enacting the exciting scenes of the con-
slant crush of other big days.
Patriotic airs by bands, national
tunes by drum corps, cheering and
shouting by men, marching and parad=-
ing. and large and enthusiastic crowds
on and about the Mckinley lawn
marked the opening hours of another
great day in the campaign. The dele
cations were all received at the depot
by the citizens reception committee,
9detachments of the Canton troop of
horsemen, bands and escort clubs and
taken to the Mckinley home where
there is almost continuous speaking
either by the major himself or by lead
ers. of the delegations introducing the
visitors.
The weather was delightful and peo-
pie stood around in the bright sunshine
watching the movements of the new
arrivals and entering heartily into the
demonstrations of the day Maj. Nc
Kinley did q great deal of handshaking
during the early part of the day, but as
en- previous Saturdays since the pill
grinnages began the crowds soon be-
came too large for that.
Maj. Mckinley spoke with unusual
ferNor all day. He made particular re-
Spouse to the coercion charge made by
National Chairman Jones, when he said
in his address this evening to the Brit
ish Isles American Club ofsCleveland:
5 They talk about coercion-the CO.
ercion Of employees by employer They
mistake the spirit of this campaign.
It is not coercion, but it is cohesion
cohesion between employees and EN-
ployers, made stronger by q common
interest and common experience"
Statements of similar nature in his
Missouri address called forth the
about the platform from which he
spoke.
