CAN1ON, u, Aug l1.--l1lS IHoSl
notable political demonstration of the
VI campaign occurred here today at noon,
when l,2OO veterans from Newcastle,
Elwood and other points in Lawrence
county, Pennsylvania, arrived on two
special trains, and enlivened by the
music of two bands,
A DRUM CORPS. A CALLIOPE
and brass howifzer, marched up to the
Mckinley residence to visit the Repub-
Iican candidate for the presidency.
The delegation was made UP of work
ingmen, mechanics and farmers. There
were also present hundred or more
old soldiers. A great many banners
bearing inscriptions were borne in the
procession. One read:
1--WE want our factories started, not
rich mine-owners made richer
Another said:
Sixteen to one-sixteen men out of
work for one who has it,
And another had this inscription:
Give US back the prosperous days
of the Mckinley tariff
The visiting delegation could not find
standing room on the spacious Nc
Kinley lawn, and scores of them had to
remain in the street. 1t was several
minutes before Oscar L. Jackson, of
Newcastle, a former colleague of Major
Mckinley in congress and the spokes-
man OF the visiting delegation, could
make himself heard. His speech was
cogent and
AT TIMES ELOQUENT.
Among other things he said:
1--WE consider the mucll-tall1ed-of
money question false issue, raised
by designing men for selfish purposes.
Republicans are not asking for any
change in this respect. For many years
we have had good money and we only
want it kept good.
I'VE claim, in all that is best, to oc-
cupy a. leading place among the great
nations of the earth. Undoubtedly then,
we should have money THAI is recog-
nized as the best the world over. We
are not the people that should go back
4 TO cheap, poor money and when that
question does come up, we want adj
we have To be good, equal to the
best "
When Major Mckinley stepped on
chair 10 address his callers, the cheer
ing burst forth again. After it had
of the most earnest speeches that had
fallen from his Fps His voice was in
excellent condition, and he spoke With a
ferVor that was magnetic and NOV
ing. He said:
THE ADDRESS.
MIR. Jacksons and my fellow citi-
Gems of Lawrence county, Pennsylva-
MIA: 1t gives me very great pleasure
to welcome the citizens of a neighbor-
ing state to my city and to my home.
] note, with great satisfaction, which
your eloquent spokesman brings to me,
that the people have lost none of their
devotion to the great principles of the
Republican party, and that this year
they Will give to the Republican ma
tional ticket an unrvalled Republican
= maj ority. (Cries of I'VE viii do that
Tight'); nor am surprised, my fellow
citizens, that this. is so. We have had
three years of bitter experience under
a policy which the. Republican party
has always opposed, and there has
been nothing in that experience to win
us to that policy, but everything to
increase our devotion to the old
POLICY OF PROTECTION
which stands opposed to it. (Applause.)
