| CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 17.-Tonight
colored electric lights from public build
ings and beautiful additions to the
handsome Mckinley arch, making the
city's main thoroughfares respondent
with illumination. Added to this the i'm
mense Maryland delegation is parading
the streets, and Baltimore seems to have
| let herself loose to show Ohio the great
est pyrotechnical display ever brought
west. Every record was broken today.
The number of delegations for any one
day was surpassed The number of
| speeches was increased. The long dis
| tance delegations exceeded all former
pilgrimages in extent. Maryland sent
5000 people, West Virginia $500, Ken
lucky 1000, according to the reports of
the railroad people. Nearly 500 car
loads Of people have come in parties,
large and small, from nearly half the
states of the union, and a score of them
have been formally addressed. At times
during the afternoon incoming and unA-
formed delegations were packed in on
Market and Tuscarawas and Cherry
streets in solid lines for over mile. AS
the drum majors fought their way
toward the Mckinley house, a steady
stream Of organized callers were retir-
ing down the wide thoroughfares.
| Twenty-eight organized parties had
| sent word of their coming and were reg
ularly scheduled, but half as many more
called. The crush of the crowd that car
ried away fences and pieces of porches,
made some women faint
Major Mckinley made his speeches
from a reviewing platform near the
| sidewalk.
1t required several trains of IN
coaches each to transport the crowd
constituting the delegation represent
ing the employees of the Oliver Iron and
Steel company, the Hainesworth Steel
company, the Baker Chain and Wagon
iron Manufacturing company, the Mo-
nongahela Tinplate company of Pitts
burg and the Oliver Coke and Furnace
company of Uniontown, Pa.
A delegation composed of two car
loads of people, the youngest of whom
was so years of age, and many others
who had passed the four score mark,
came as the Old Peoples Mckinley club
Of Westerville, Ohio, and We're intro
duced by Rev. c. w. Downey. In the
same crowd and listening to the tenth
speech of the day We're students of the
Wesleyan university of Delaware and
citizens in general of Delaware county,
Ohio, for whom H. S. Culver spoke;
students of the Ohio Medical univer-
sity at Columbus, introduced by c. M.
Taylor and students from other col
leges at Columbus for whom A. L. Coke
spoke, and farmers and citizens of
Becksville and vicinity in Northern
Ohio,
The delegations from the Blue Grass
state came in five or six trains aggre-
eating fifty-eight coaches. They were
addressed in two sections, the first
speech being in response to Lieut.. Gov.
Worthington, who spoke for the famous
| Garfield club of Louisville and for the
delegation in general, and to Col. H. S.
Kuhn of the Louisville Anzieger, who
spoke for the German Americans of
Kentucky.
The central, eastern and western
counties of West Virginia came in a
train of five sections. State Senator
Stuart Reed spoke for the party in gen.
eral and w. p. Craft for the colored
people of West Virginia.
Shopmen, railroad men, street rail-
way men and the Maryland delegation
occupied five trains of ten coaches each,
| the first of which covered the distance
of 500 miles and reached Canton early
in the day. but when the last came and
the demonstration was held it was nee
essary to turn Oh the electric lights.
Addresses were delivered by j. T. AL
bert for the party in general, by William
o. Smith for the Anti Wilson Bill So
ciety of Baltimore, by A. j. Cullison for
the potters and by w. o. Peach for the
employees of the transportation COM
pany. Numerous other delegations
made good showings
In the course of his address to the pill
grims from Louisville, Ky, Major Nc
Kinley said
Your glorious old state has already
registered a verdict in favor of one of
hte principal issues involved in this cam
paign. I 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 Kentucks has usually been a
Democratic state and in 1876 gave that
sturdy Democratic statesman, Samuel
j. 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 AN unstable
currency produces instability of prices
and is peculiarly injurious to the farm
ers. He ought not to be subject to the
tremendous agency of an unseen cause
which may disappont his wisest calcu-
lations and overwhelm him in constant
ruin but he ought to be secured in the
tranquility of his fireside from the curse
Of an unstable and conflicting currency
