residence. There were 500 men in the
line, and each member of the club bore a
gaiiy-colored umbrella. The escort num-
bered 800 also. The Chicago Commercial
Travellers were a fine looking body of men
and were 1ustily applauded along the line
OF march. The travelling men are good
friends of Major Mckinley, and since the
nrst OF June they have been dropping in
10 see him every day singly ana in groups
of three to ten. Today they Concentrated
Their efforts and there has been no finer
manifestation of intense and Intelligent
enthusiasm than that which emanafsa
from the commercial travellers. The
spokesman was G. j. Corey, chairman
OF the National Executive Committee Of
the Commercial Men of the United
States When he and Major Mckinley
appeared On the porch there was an out
burst of cheering which lasted several
minutes. Mr.. Corey said:-

OF the principles which they cherished
ana hrmfy believed essential to the well
iare and prosperity of cur Country
namely protection to our home industries
1 Ieei safe In saying there is no class of
citlzens in our country who more thor
oughiy understand the true issues of this
campaign than the commercial travelling
men. They are satisfied with the money
OF the country, knowing that it is as
good as any insfthe world. In this great
army OF commercial ambassadors every
one as thinking for himself
They know without private or public
instruction that the free coinage of sif-
yer Is not the true issue of this cam
pasgn, but it IS projections of home in
lry- The commercial travelling men s3f
the United States are fully awake to tho
VITAL issues of this campaign They have
enlisted nearly to a man to save this
country from the fearful perils of a bank
rupt treasury, fiat and deprecated money
reputation and the otner long chain Of
evils that follow
When Major Mckinley mounted the
chair to speak the cheering was renewed
more vigorously than before
Inc Chicago commercial travellers were
accompanied by DR.. T. N Jameson, the
i4nois member of the Republican Ma
