- CANTON, Oct. THE rains OF yeost
terday, which drove the Mckinley
crowds indoors, were dried up by .
bleak cold wind today. which made q
necessary to carry out the days pro-
gram, save one early meeting on the
lawn, at the tabernacle. There were
four demonstrations by as many dele-
cations. Two Ohio counties sent crowds
and it was intended to double them up,
but they were so much larger than was
expected that the doubling up process
would not work. Combined they 1lled
the hall twice over.
A particularly enthusiastic delegation
Parkersburg. W. Va, and filled spec
ial train of ten cars to the platforms.
This party was introduced by Hon. E.
M. Caldwell.
In Major McKinley's address to tbs
delegation from Grange county he be-
gan by expressing his qualification At
the uniform loyalty Of Ohio RepubII-
cans, and especially those from Grange
county. Continuing, he said: This
state in 1860, in the national Republi-
can convention which met In Chicago.
had two candidates for president. Ons
was Salmon P. Chase, and the other was
Benjamin Wade, both honofed names In
Ohio.s history, and both names thAt
have added lustsr~to the glory Of our
country. (Great applause.)
when the third ballot was reached
in that convention Lincoln led and had
231h votes. He lacked just IL votes Of
being nominated for the presidency of
=
cal moment that an Ohioan, David X. <
Carter, once representative in Cor
gress from our state, rose In his place
and transferred four votes from Salmon
p. Chase to Abraham Lincoln and
made him the nominee Of the Republic
can party. I am glad he did It Some
other state might have done It; some
other state probably would have done
It; but the fact remains that Ohio did
1t and helped to give to the country
that immortal name.
Ohio has been no laggard In the path
way Of our civilization; she has never
hesitated in an emergency; she has
never hesitated in any emergency; she
nevre fallen in any crisis; she has meas
ured to the highest opportunity Of re-
sponsibility and duty; she has never
struck blow except for human liberty:
she has never had an aim that has not
been American, nor a purpose that has
not been patriotic. In the forefront of
every battle has been her FURNISHED
mail, and in the gloomy rear Of every
retreat has been heard her voice Of con-
stancy aud courage.
Ohio this year will neither pause nor
falter, but stand for our country ana
our countrys honor. We will take q
just pride in the Republican party.
Glorious old party! No other has such
matchless history; no other has
achieved such mighty triumphe; no
other has done so much for all racer
of man as the grand old party to which
we belong. With the aid of hundreds
Of thousands of Democrats 1t saved the
union; it enthroned liberty: it put in
the constitution of the United StateA
where 1t had never been before, civtl
and political equality to every citizen
everywhere. (Great cheering) 1t made
the uion stronger than 1t had been be-
FORE and 1t preserved to us and our pos
terity one flag and only one-the starry
banner of the free. 1t made the OLD
old soldier on his marches as good -
gold and redeemable in gold. cloud
applause.) 1t resumed specie payments
and has preserved the national honor
| unsullied to this hour, and given t.
this nation credit the like Of which it
never had before. Will that party now
take a step backward? Will the ola
party lower its flag?
Our opponents say to one audience
that our dollars are too dear, and t.
another audience they say the new free
coinage of silver dollars will be just a.
good as the present silver dollars. Now
If this is so it will be just as dear -
the present dollar. We want good money
in this country, and we want good NOR
ais in this country. and we want public
and private honesty In this country, ana
we do not propose to be nation Of ~
