States, and if I have been associated
with any legislation that has given to
single workingman a days work at
American wages, that is honor enough
for me. Cloud applause.) What we want
in this country is a policy that will give
to every workingman American wages;
policy that will put enough money into
the treasury of the United States to run
the Government; policy that will bring
back to us that period of prosperity and
of plenty that we enjoyed more than
thirty years." (Cheers)
The first of the delegations from
Wheeling to arrive was that of the
workers of the La Belle iron and steel
mills, about 5000 strong, who came in
at ) o'clock. They carried tin canes,
badges of tin with the name of the
mills stamped on them and an immense
banner of tin. On one side was in
scribed the name of the mills and the
ear and on the other in immense red
letters Mckinley tim The banner
was presented to Major Mckinley, and
he accepted it in a few appropriate
remarks.
An hour later a second train arrived
from Wheeling containing the Ohio
County Republican Club. Bentley Jones
President, $50 strong. It's spokesman
was Congressman B. D. Dovener, who
said:
These gentlemen of the Ohio County
Republican Club represent the true
Republicanism of our State and the
loyal Republican party that has stood
for free speech, for free men, for free
press, for a free ballct-but never for
he free coinage of silver at 16 to l or
free trade in America"
Major Mckinley, responding, re-
ferred to West Virginia joining the Re-
publican column in 1894, and hoped
they had come to stay. He continued:
81 recall with feelings of emotion the
reference by Captain Dovener to our
first meeting over in the Kanawha
valley We were then in the midst of
war. The States then were in active
rebellion against the Federal Union.
Thirty-three years have gone by; the
war is all over, and the glories of that
war belong to the vanQuished as well
as to the victors. 1t is the common
heritage of all Americans, and to-day
we know the North and the South only
as geographical divisions. We are all
one in devotion to the Union and the
flag; one in striving to make the nation
more glorious than ever before
During the evening many of the cit
liens of Canton called to pay their per-
sonal respects to Major and Mrs. Nc
I1inley.
HARRISON SATISFIED.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 20.-General
Harrison said to a reporter this after
al -
.he Republican Convention at ST Louis,
and pleased with the result. AS to
Teller and the other boilers I do not
care to talk
General Harrison declined to be in
terviewed at length, but made these
observations in answer to a direct in
quiry. He is apparently giving him
self little concern over the political
situation just now. Some of his near
friends had hoped all along that the
St Louis Convention would stampede
to General Harrison, but the General
gave no intimation that he had an eye
on the convention.

whelming demonstration robs me of

yersaries daughter and cries of Me,
tcoD For myself / lay no claim for the
honor you accord me. / could have done

rext President of the United States"
Yes, ard for four years after that"

ma. laughing and amid loud applause.
Mckinley" he continued, 'ais wanted
by the people, not only because of his
personal CHARACTERISTICS, although / may
say in passing he is the best man

he represents. Without the people
