CANTON, o. Aug. 13-Two hundred
members of the 10th Ohio called on Ma
jor Mckinley today. VIM. Monahan, ex-
consul at Hamilton, Ontario, made some
remarks to Mckinley on behalf of his
comrades, and Major Mckinley delivered
a happy impromptu speech, the keynote
OF which was the passing of sectionalism
and the steady rise of national sentiment
and pride.
In his speech, Major Mckinley, after
thanking the visitors for remembering
him, said in part:
The bitterness of the war has long
since disappeared. The reSentments have
gone out of the hearts OF the old soldiers
and the people who supported them in
the great conflict of both sides Section
alisgr has given place to national spirit,
and patriotism has smoothed the ausGeri-
ties OF partyism, while the preservation
or the national honor constituted the
great aim and purpose of all patriotic
American citizens. loud cfleers0 1t is

A number of ladies accompanied the
veterans of the 1C4th Ohio and they in
formed Mrs. Mckinley that they had

Major Mckinley had a very active day.
After the cal. of the veterans he attended
a reunion here of the Third Ohio battery
and took lunch with the old artillerynea1
at the residence of Captain w. S. VIII
liams. 1t was an Informal affair but Ma
jor Mckinley was called on so persistently
and urgently for speech that he finally
responded. 1t was his third talk to old
soldiers within twenty-folr hours and
was as happy and effective as the TWO
previous speeches. Major Mckinley $
callers are
INCREASING DAY BY DAY.
They come in the morning before he
has finished breakfast and often come in

night One caller today was W. E. Dur
bin of Indiana. Mr.. Durpin is member
of the Republican national executive
committee and he is charged to con-
siderable extent with the conduct of the
campaign in Indiana. He thinks that
the outlook is much brighter than 1T has
been at any time.
James r. Dunn of Massillon former
president of League of American Wheel
men, has undertaken the task of organic
ing the bicycle riders of the country for
Mckinley and Hobart. They will be or
ganized into clubs, and each man VINO is
of the Republican ticket will be given
handsome little pennant for his wheel.
