WELCOMING PENNSYLVANIA.
Delegations from Butler and Mercer
counties, Penn, We're just behind the
Chicago men. AS soon as they could
find room they took their places near
the stand. There We're 1,70O in the two
delegations. Major Mckinley said to
them:
NV fellow-citizens:--I have been very
much touched by the messages Of greet
ing and congratulation which have peen
given to me from Mercer ana Butter couI-
ties, Pa. Pennsylvania is our nearest
neighbor. and the two states have always
been in the fullest accord in poiitical De-
lief and purpose. | appreciate the mes
sage which comes from the farmers, from
the workingmen of those two counties and
from my fellow-citizens generally, and
thank them all from the bottom OF my
heart for their warm tender of support
and assurance of fidelity to the Republican
cause and to the Republican party. what
we want in this country first and foremost
is work for the American workingmen.
(Applause) The opportunity to work Is
always limited by the extent that We have
our work done in European workshops
by European labor and am one of those
who believe in the doctrine of protecting
Am erican factories against foreign fac
tories (cries of ''Goodl' and great ap-
plause), and the American worliinCmen
against the workirgmen of the Old World.
This is our country, and If we don't have
it just as we want 1t, 1t will be our fault
and nobody else's tapplause). and the way
we incucate the policies for our country
is through the use of the ballot. Now,
you have tried partial free trade in the
United States. and how do you like it?
daughter and applause.) Not only have
the workingmen themselves suffered. but
the farmers have suffered in their home
market. (Cries of That's right!'D There
is not a farmer in Butler or
day who has not suffered from the reduced
production of the factories of those two
counties. (Applause) What we want is
chance to work, and when we have
wages the home market Is improved for
the farmer. We want honest American
dollars (cries of "That's rightrD, and you
want to vote for that party that you be-
lieve lis more likely to give you the best
chance for work and the best coin in pay
ment. (Applause.) And you must Judge
for yourselves which party that is. ca

ENCOURAGING NEWS RECEIVED.
The past week has been the most
notable of the campaign in Canton, and
it marks the pronounced and irrresist-
ible rise Of Republican sentiment
through the Northern and Western
states. Major Mckinley has received
news Of most encouraging character.
His advices from Maryland and Ken
lucky indicate that those states will be
in the Republican column, and Senator
Elkins writes that West Virginia may
be depended upon to give verdict in
favor Of sound money
Senator Cullom said yesterday after
noon: There Is no longer room for
doubt about the result in Illinois. If
we continue to work as we are doing
now we shall carry the state by 100. 900
plurality. The free-silver sentiment Is
declining in power. We are eradicat-
ing 1t everywhere, save in few coun-
ties in Southwestern Illinois. and 1t is
not gaining ground in that part of the
state. The same general condition OBJ
tains in Wisconsin and in Indiana. The
Republicans are gaining ground every
day. Mr.. Bryan has big meetings and
people like to go to see him. but he Is
not making converts and will not while
he continues to rush about the country
like kitten in pursuit of it's tail.
am much impressed with the demon
strations I have seen in Canton. This
part of the country is tremendously
aroused. and I look for unprecedented
Republican ma jorities in both Ohio and
Pennsylvania. I have never seen any,
think like the meetings Major McKin-
ley is having in Canton, and never ex-
pect to again"
