and Stewart, Corporal Tanner and Gen

a basket Of flowers by Canton Woman

The meeting was one Of the most enthu

said that the silver mine owners of Amer.
lea could make $150000010 d year il tht
government would stamp free OF charge
for them 80 cents worth of silver as q

The weeks visits TO Mckinley began
with the arrival about noon OF several
carloads Of people from SeWickley, Penn.
In the party were number Of ladies,
and the Mckinley and Hobart Sound

Corted to the Mckinley home headed by a
drum corps and gave Mckinley three
rousing cheers when he appeared upon
the porch. The visitors were happily in
troduced by Attorney George K. Wallace.
After an address, Mrs. Mckinley received
the ladies, and the whole party was pho
tographed with Mckinley N the center OF
the group.
Speaking to the delega tion from Sewlck-
ley, Major Mckinley said:
Some people seem to have the notion
that the republican party has made new
departure, that it occupies d different po-
sition today from that which it ever oc-
cuped in the past. That is a mistake.
We stand where We have always stood,
not only upon the money question, but on
the tariff question, and l want to call
your attentlon to what may have escaped
you.
when the war closed, the great prob
lem before the American people. after he
reconstruction of the Union, was what
should be done with the great debt that
had been occasloned by the war and
what should be done by way of maintain
ing a sound currency in the United States.
In 1868 the great soldier of the war, who
had led the mightiest armies that we're
ever engaged in sustaining a cause, Gen
eral u. 5. Grant, was nominated fol-
president. Let me read you two planlIS
of the platform upon which he stood, anC
you can see then whether the republican
party has changed it's position:
"NYe denounce all forms of repudid
ton as a national crime, and the nationa
honor requires the payment of public deb
in the utmost good faith to all creditors
at home and abroad, not only according
to the letter, but the spirit Of the law un
der which it was contracted.
THAT was when we had that enormOu
debt of over 50, 900, 900 900, and the counrc.
seemed to be staggering under 1t. but tn
republican party stood up, as it Away
has and insisted that every dollar OF tha
debt must be paid in the best currency o
the world; and under that policy we hay
paid off more than two-thirds of tina
great national debt, and paid every dolla
Of 1t with honor and in the best money Q
the world"
