The delegations came from all over

streets were crowded with people and
marching delegations, and many novel
badges, canes. ETC., were 10 be seen. One

The effect can easily be imagined. over

novel explosives will attract attention
anywhere. Several OF tlIa,s Wheeling
boys bought canes with the explosion
arrangement and brought them home
with them.

Saturday evenings parade of the
clubs was u large one, and was seen by
thousands and thousands OF people.
There were :. great many visiting clubs
In line, but none of them attracted the
attention that was given to the Wheel
ing boys, and especially the Six Footers.
Everywhere they went they were APP
plauded and che-tred to the echo and
everybody seemed charmed by the tall
boys in the shakos. In fact they owned
the town.
ItwaS a great turn out and one that
will remain In the memory OF every man
who was In Canton. A plumber Of the
visiting delegations were compelled to
leave before the parade, especially the
Pittsburghers and. Cleveland delega-
tons, and no little disappointment was
expressed on this account
Et An Exciting Incident.
One of the most exciting incidents
evcr9taking place In Canton was one in
WHICH the H. C. Richards Six Footers,
OF this city. figured largely, and one that
will make change in the operating OF
the street cars in Canton during political
parahes.
1t happened in the afternoon when the
Wheelingites were marching up from
the depo, to the Mckinley homestead,
and was witnessed ~ hundreds Of peO-
pie. The street cars IN Canton. 1t ap-
pears, have been used TO breaking
through the lines of parades. and Sat
urday'S was no exception. The Wheel
Ing boys. accustomed to the rule Of
the cars stopping in Wheeling for all
parades. did not understand this, and
when an operator on an electric car at
tempted to run through the ranks OF the
Six Footers, there. was trouble. The
operator was warned not to do 1t, but he
did not heed the warning and ran up on
the last platoon of twerty-four men who
were marching abreast. The result was
that each man In the platoon made for
the operator. and for few moments 1t
looked as though he would receive rnth-
er rough treatment As 1t wus,' he was
not caressed rs gently as an infant
would be in. its mothers arms, but was
damned In the mouth with torch and
received such treatment as convinced
him that the boys from the Nail city
were not to be trihed with.
The boys were applaudtd by the spec
tators for the action they took. and pro-
mlaent men commended their action.
1t was noticeable that during the night
parade the lines were not broken by
street cars
