Charles Leach, president of the Ohio
State Republican League, was also with
the committee. The committee gathered
in Major McKinleys library, and after
they had been presented to him, John
Goodnoe of Minnesota, the spokesman,
assured Mr.. Mckinley of the loyalty of
the leagues members, numbering over
1000, 600 voters. 1t had been the method
of the league clubs, the speaker said to
present Republican doctrines to young
/ men about to cast their first vote, and
to new voters at the time when they
have leisure to study diSpaS5ionately.
1t has ever been only for the success of
the party and it's principles, and has
never attempted to interfere with nomi-
nations or appointments. In that
sense, we are not practical polite
ians.' The league is formed on the
fact that it is the duty of every citi-
zen to study public questions, and haV-
ing studied them, it is his privilege to
assure, in the most effective way at his
command, the practical success of the
policies and principles he deems best
for the good OF the whole country. Our
motto is
EDUCATE AND ORGANIZE"
It has been the method of the clubs to
study and discuss public questions be-
tween campaigns, to present Republican
doctrines to young men about to cast
their first vote, and to new voters at
the time when they have leisure to
study diSpaSSionately.
In response Major Mckinley made one
of the most impressive little speeches
to which he has given utterance this
campaign. He said:
MIR. Goodnoe and gentlemen: 1t gives
me great pleasure to greet, at my
home, this large committee represent
ing the Republican clubs of the United
States. l know something of your work
and worth. 1 know how, in former
campaigns, the splendid services of the
young Republicans of the country have
contributed to bring our most signal
triumphs l am glad to hear from your
spokesman, fresh from your national
convention, that the Republican party
and the Republican cause this year are
to have your united, aggressive and IN
faltering support; and L am sure, with
that support, connected with the sup
port which will come from all classes
of our fellow-citizens everywhere, will
give to the national ticket and our
party a Triumph the like of which we
never have had for many, many years.
(Applause)
"Gentlemen, you never had a wor-
thier cause to strive for, than you
have this year.
THE FINANCIAL HONOR
of the country ana the prosperity of all
its people are enough to inspire every
American heart to the best possible
effort. (Applause.)
q have seen somewhere am inquiry,
cannot the United States establish a
financial system of its own: is it too
weak and dependent to do that L
answer, The United States now has a
financial policy which in the main it
has been pursuing since the beginning
of the government and which 1t does
not mean to change until it can find a
better one
"Those who make the inquiry are
usually against our American policy
of finance, and they are insisting that
we shall adopt the financial policy OF
China, and Mexico. [ hope it will not
be thought an evidence of lack of ma
tional spirit or national Importance
that we decline to adopt their PROPOSE
ton Great applause)
thank Won for this call and for
the message of good will and greeting
which you bring to me from your great
national body" (Applause.)
UNITED BRETHREN.
AT o'clock, a large delegation of
United Brethren clergymen, who are
attending a conference here, called ON
Major Mckinley. Bishop J. H. Mills,
of Oregon. spoke in behalf of the min
listers and Major Mckinley in response
said:
Bishop Mills, Ladies and Gentlemen
of the East Ohio Conference of the
United Brethren Churchill gives me
sincere pleasure to respond to this call
of greeting and congratulation. l duly
appreciate the message of good will
which you so kindly bring from the re-
hgious body which you represent. 1t is
a good omen when religious teachers
public welfare. Nothing is more worthy
of your study and consideration than
those questions which tend to make
the country great, prosperous and
righteous Civic virtue is a good thing
for the preacher always, but a better
thing for every citizen to guard in his
daily life. Good citizenship lies at
the foundation of our true greatness as
a. free government Those who pro-
claim II are indeed Christian teachers
and public benefactors. The better the
citizen the better free government
and it's laws. 1t is
A GRATIFYING FACT
as you stated, that in our form of gov
ernTnent character counts for so much.
The lack of it amounts to almost dis
qualification for public trust. What
ever mems individual opinions on moral
questions are or may be, whether good
or bad, whatever may be their party
affiliations, all prefer that public Off
cials snail be of high character and
worth. They may be needless of virtue
and careless Of their own lives, but
they insist that those who are to exc
cute the public will shall be men of
unquestioned integrity. Public opinion
demands this and happily all political
PARTIES respect it too. I wish fer every
religious body and every other body
whose object is 20 elevate mankind the
fullest measure of success. No nobler
cause could engage your faculties. I
trust that your annual conference here
