CANTON, O., Oct 10.-Each day is
outdoing all records of enthusiasm
and numbers at Canton. Forty special
train loads of people came here today,
and at O'Clock this evening more dele
cations were coming. They began at
4:30 this morning and they came in
greater numbers than ever before.
Merchants, workingmen, hardware
men, commercial travelling men, bish-
ops, preachers, miners, evangelists, pot
ters, bankers, railroad men, Southern
planters, iron opera tives molders and
many other trades and professions,
each had special parties and process
sions. They came from Iowa, New
York, Kentucky. Pennsylvania, Michi-
gan, Illinois, Missouri, West Virginia,
Maryland and Ohio in large delega-
tions. They crowded Canton's wide
streets for miles as they were never
crowded before. They marched and
countermarched with sound and music
galore. They out-yelled the wondrous
rebel yell' from the Shenandoah val
ley, of Virginia, that kept the echoes
booming all yesterday afternoon and
evening. Mckinley was in the m idst
of it all day. To have given every call
a
physical impossibility. He lade I. ore
than a score of addresses nd made
short replies besides. His friends who
were with him on his 'nem ,rable c. M

ana from Maine to Kansas, when he
made nearly 500 speeches in four
months say the campaign then did not
compare with the one he is now going
through. He is accessible to everyone.
he only stopped handshaking with the
thousands today to make addresses
and to personally greet other delega-
lions. His voice rang out clear and
strong. Wherever his eyes turned to-
day, from early morning until late to-
night, he looked into the eyes of a sea
of faces His friends have wondered at
his endurance. His visitors today mar

tonight that nothing like todays doings
had ever been known in political his

had never known of mortal man ever
pelng given such greetings. Tonight
at III O'Clock the Maryland delegation
was holdlng a mass meeting at the
tabernacle. The handsome new court
mouse and other public buildings were
primarily Illuminated with novel cleo
trio effects. The streets were filled
with marchers Pyrotechnic disnIavs

the parades throughout the evening
thousands were keeping up the cease

the famous home, ABOUT which the

paved street. Railroad men saw over
400 crowded carloads of people have

one of the strongest of McKinley's
addresses today was to party of Wis

PRAISE FOR PALMER.

leaders OF the Democratic party there who

the past framed in the city of INDIANAPOLIS a

They charged the Chicago convention with a
reckless attempt to increase the price of

They proclaim, in view of these and other
grave departures from Democratic principles,
that they cannot support the candidates of
that convention nor be bound by its acts
They declare that the Democratic party has
survived many defeats but could never sur

proclaimed In its name at Chicago. On the
money question they affirm that the expe-
rience of mankind has shown that by reason
of their natural inequalities, gold is the
necessary money of the large affairs of COM
merce and business, while silver is conyeni-
emily adapted to minor transactions and the
most beneficial use of both can be insured
only by the adoption of the former as the
standard of monetary measure and the main
tenance of silver at parity with gold by its
limited coinage under suitable safeguards of
law. This, the largest possible enjoyment of
both metals, Is gained with a value univers-

constitutes the only practical bimetallic cur

especially the best and safest money for all
who earn their livelihood by labor or the
produce of husbandry. They cannot suffer

money changer at their cost.
What have envied my fellow citizens is
not the statement of the Republican conven-
ton, but of a Democratic convention, the
most representative which probably ever as
sembled in the country. Senators and repre-
sentatives in public life today, leaders Of the
Democratic party in their respective states,
thus denounce the Democratic convention held
in the city Of Chicago. They speak words
of truth and soberness. You cannot debase
the currency Of the United States without de-
grading the public honor They speak the
voice Of patriotism. They repudiate their
own party convention and characterize its
resolutions as unsound, injudicious unpat-
riotic and revolutionary. They are to be
commended by every lover of his country
everywhere, for their courageous stand and
for their bold denunciation of doctrines.

never be lowered in their hands. They meet
