Canton, Oct. 31.-With many a ringing
cheer and many stirring air from two
score bands, the last great day of tn,
campaign at the home or The Republican
candidate came to an end,
Senator-elecL Foraker contributed han.i
somely to the brilliant close of what has
been, perhaps, the most interesting day OF
the campaign. Major Mckinley met Scna
tor Foraker at the station ut 5 O'Clock, ant
when some one proposed three cheers fol
the distinguished guest, Major McKinle,
tools-off his hat ana led the cheering
1t was dark when Senator Foraker
reached the Mckinley house, but great
crowd awaited him. He made his ninety.
seventh speech Of the campaign from the
platform in McKinley's yard, and he told
the people some news from the West that
made them shout with joy.
When Senator Foraker left to take the
train for Cleveland, whe:e he speaks to-.
night, storm Of cheers followed him. He
Was in Canton just forty minutes.
KEPT BUSY ALL DAY.
Major Mckinley began speaking at an
early hour this morning and was kept
busy talking and receiving callers TIL
sunset. One of his first utterances this
morning was appropriate to the day. Ad-
dressing a delegation of his old friends
from Waynesburg, this county. he said:
Il thank you that you nave come on this
glorious day, when the glorious banner
of the free waves from every home and
hilltop of the land and from every farm
and hreside Of our common country. Glo-
riuis old banner 1t is. So long as We carry
it in our hands and what it :ypifies in our
hearts, this republic and our splendid free
institutions Will be forever secure"
The largest delegation that has visited
Canton came this afternoonn. 1t was from
Youngstown and other places in the Mahon-
ing v alley and numbered 8 900 people, g
900 of whom were women. Ii took this
splendid Mahoning Valley delegation more
than an hour to pass in review before
Major Mckinley.
when The parade came to n halt and the
people massed themselves in the streets
and yard about Major McKinley's house,
the Republican candidate looked down
upon the greatest and most inspiring audi
encc that mas greeted niu.
FLAGS IN PROPULSION.
In addition to the visiting delegation
there Were thousands or olhcr Lcopie
pressing toward the stand. Every man,
woman, and child carried Il flag and when
Major Mckinley rose TO speak each flag
waved and great chorus of cheers rollcu
like surge OF the sea up and down the
densely packed streets.
MAJOR ..ichiniey nasi ii prepared speech in
his hand, which he had expected TO de-
liver, but he could not do it. He was
caught up IN the wave OF enthusiasm. He
tossed the manuscript aside and spoke as
he afterward said, Just what was in his
heart"
What he said was echoed in ten thousand
hearts. When he declared: There is
Just one class under our flag, and We all
belong TO it," such cheer Went up us
Canton never heard before.
The call OF several Thousand Canton wo-
men upon Major Mckinley was another
beautiful incident of a day that has been
pregnant with unique and stirring events.
The weather was delightful and the
campaign could not have closed more bril-
liantly and beautifully.

THOUGHT IT A LETTER BOX.
Countrrman's First Experience With
the New Waste Receptaeles.

1t was not the fuzzy red whiskers of the
man or his blueeyes that told he came from
the country. 1t was his dress and his man

over them. but they stopped short of the
ankles His coat and vest We're new. and

Just bought them for this very visit to the
city. He Wore a black necktie that was
not molcstefin its attempt to reach the
top OF the collar at the back.
A half score of bicyclists passed as he
stepped out to the sidewalk and he stopped
to gaze after them. He had. OF course: seen
bicvcies and wheelmen before, but lie new
er saw so many at one time. This fact is
essential to show only how innocent he
was, and will go a long way to explain
what ne did afterward
In one hand the countryman held postal
card. 1t had been written with pencil
The lines We're crossed and he wrote them
close together No one on earth could have
gotten more information on the same sur
face He SHOOK his hand caIeleSSly until
the end of the postal card ratified slightly.
He had been watching the wheclmen un-
I'll they got almost out OF view. Then lie
peered around He looked at the postal
card and looked around ut things in gen
eral again.
There was a letter box on the opposite
side of the street. He did not see IT, Ihere
was also one at the other end OF the oiock-
He did not move toward 1t.
Not thirty feet away, fastened to an cleo
tric-liyht pole, was one of the new green
waste material receptacles that the Com
missoners and the Civic Center have placed
about the city. He walked over to it. He
looked at it, but it was apparently only a
casual glance He dropped',he postal card
in the hole that was big enough TO receive
young trunk.
A good Samaritan saw the act, and after
he had gone went to the receptacle and car
ried the postal card to the nearest mail box.

An amusing episode belongs to the his
tory Of the Gurneys of Earlham, a family
to which the beloved Mrs Elizabeth Fry
belonged. Edward Edwards was devoted
friend Of the lovely quakeress, and there
was time when he was tempted to be-
come something more. He had a great ad-
Iniration for Catherine Gurney, and, al
though he was an extremely diffidenJ man,
he did rouse his courage to the point OF
sending her proposal Of marriage
Miss Catherine was a busy woman, for
she had ut the age OF seventeen years taken
the entire charge OF a great family OF
eleven brothers and sisters, and when the
letter came, being occupied with other
things, she Slipped IL into her pocket ana
forgot all about IT.

the episode. Tor the letter had No sooner
been sent than Mr. Edw ards Ionged to re-
call it, His admiration for Catherine had
not lesseued, but mature consideration had

moment she remembered the letter and
was filled with remorse.
"oh, Mr.. Edwards" she called, "I am
so ashamed, SO sorryi have not even
opened your letter.
The relief and Joy which overspread his
face was sufficiently puzzling, but she was
the more perpieXed when he exclaimed
With energy:
'.oh, then, don't read it, Pray dou's
read it. l beg OF you To destroy it un-
