COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.

Large Delegations from Ohio ana Other
States Greet Maj. Mckinley.
Another large and interesting delega-
ton was made up of commercial travel
ers. mostly from Ohio and adjoining
states. They were addressed by MIR.
Mckinley as follows:
"You have discovered in the last four
years that it is a good deal safer to con-
suit markets than maxims. You have
discovered that prices current and actual
experience in trade and are a
better guide to business prosperity than
anything you can find in the text books.
Your coming together, Democrats and
Republicans Ia voice: No Democrats in

known in American politics. and pro-

traits Of the business and commercial
men of the country.
II do not attribute your call toany per-
sonai concern for my success. You look
beyond the candidate to the great princi-
pies he represents. and upop that ground
and in that spirit you are here today;
and In the same spirit / address you
now. No people in the country can be
more interested in the result of the elec-
ton two weeks from next Tuesday than
the commercial men of the United
States. (Applause.) What you want is

DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS.
Citizens Of Kentucky Join in support Of

Citixens Of kentucky Join In support Of
Mckinley and Homes. Money.
A large delegation from Kentucky,
composed Of both Republicans and sound
money Democrats, was one of the most
demonstrative in hOnoring the Repub-
lican candidate. To them Mr.. Mckinley
said:
II address you not as Republicans nor
Democrats, but as countrymen and
friends. Your glorious old state has al
ready registered a verdict in favor of
this campaign. / do not believe that in
the past twelve months the Kentucky
people have changed their opinions on
the questions of honest money and public
honor. tGreat applause and cries of NO,
no. Kentucky has usually been a Dem
ocratic state, and in 1876 gave that
sturdy Democratic statesman. Samuel
]. Tilden of New York, an unprecedent-
ed popular majority for President. His
memory is doubtless revered by many of
your Democrats today, and l venture to
send by you this message to them in Mr..
Tilden's own words.
"In his celebrated joint debate with
Horace Greeley, in 1910, Mr.. Tilden said:
AN unstable currency produces instabil-
ity of prices and il peculiarly injurious
to the farmer. He ought not to be cub
ject to the tremendous agency of an I'M
seen cause, which may disappoint his
wisest calculations and overwhelm him
in constant ruin, but he ought to be Sc
cured in the tranquility Of his Preside
from the curse of an unstable and con-
ficting currency Great applause.)
"These were wise and honest words
then; they are true and honest words
now, and commend themselves to the

WORDS TO RAILROAD MEN.
Employment and Good Money Arc De
sired by All.

Employment and Good Money Are De-
sired by All.
There were railroad men on all sides
of Maj. Mckinley when he began his
fourteenth address,. One party repre-
scented the Michigan Central. Another
came from Columbus, O., and represent
ed the Pennsylvania lines entering that
city. Still another party represented the
Erie employees of Cleveland. To all
these Maj. Mckinley said:
"There is not a workingman in this
audience who would not rather work for
a good road than a poor road; and there
is not an emplOye in this great audience
that would not rather be paid in good
money than poor money. (Applause.)
"What you want first and above all
else is employment. What you want is
to get on the pay roll of a good railroad
company, for you have to get OF the pay
the pay car, to which my friend has al
Iuded. Great cheering.) But in order
to get on the pay roll the railroads must
have business. You know when busi-
ness is poor with the railroads some Of
you are stricken from the pay roll.
(Cries of that's rightly You have ex-
%perienced that in the last three years and
a halt. What you are interested in,
therefore, is the general prosperity of the
country. We want every factory in the
land to be at work. We want every
mine in the country to be busy. "a
voice: Not the silver mines.O NY
friend says no silver mines. W. are
willing that our silver mines shall be
busy; l hope every one of them, too,
will be busy: but if they were all put to
work and every mint was at work they
would not furnish employment for one
third OF the idle men in this country who
earn their living by toll.
"You have to get your employment in
the great, active, busy industries of the
country. This is where you get your
work and wages, and when these great.
busy industries are at work your rail-
roads have plenty of traffic. Great an
plause.) When your railroads have plen-
ty OF traffic you have constant and
steady employment at good wages. Is
not that so? (Cries of Yes, yes.1
Nov, how are you to get back that
prosperity you once enjoyed? Cries of

THE GREATEST DAY OF THE cx1PAlGr

'There is one thing that can be said
about the Republican party-it can cele-
brate the anniversaries of all the great
American statesmen, no matter to what
party they may have belonged, who
stood for the country and its honor.
We have no difficulty in celebrating. too,
with our Democratic friends, the ami
versary of Jefferson, Jackson and Ben
ton. We celebrate those anniversaries
with the same satisfaction that we cele-
brate the anniversaries of the early
statesmen who were more nearly OF our
political belief. y
"When we reflect the development of
all this wealth is in a state of less than
10000 square miles, and among people
not yet 2.5OO,O0O in number, we can be-
gin to realize how great is our country.
Can it be possible that such a magnit-
cent commonwealth will ever lend her
influence to free silver. free trade, dis
honor and partial or entire reputation?
Ono, no, never.o No, l say, forever no.
What the people of this country want.
whether they dwell in Michigan or Ten
nessee or Ohio. is a policy that will pro-
est against the outside world, from any
quarter. What we want is a tariff put
upon foreign goods high enough to not
only give us revenue enough to run the
government. but to afford adequate pro-
lection to every American industry and
occupation. This is the policy Of the
Republican party.
"NWhat we want is to restore a policy
that will enable us to pay as we go.
both government and people. We have
not been doing that for four years past.
l am sure your great and grand state
can be relied upon to enroll itself in the
column of national honor as against re-
pudiation, of a protective tariff, reci-
procity and the maintenance everywhere
of public order, tranquility and the su-
premacy of law"
