ADDRESS TO RAILROAD MEN.
Major Mckinley. in addressing the
men of the Wheeling road, said:
Il believe that the men who stand
before me who are entrusted with the
care and property such as other classes
OF other workmen nowhere are en-
trusted with, can be safely relied upon
TO guard their own ballots for their
country's good and the benefit of their
own families and homes. Cheers and
cries of you're right.D
Il believe that they can be trusted
to do this without counsel or advice
from anybody. Whatever you wear on
the outside of your coats, If you vote
in accordance with what is inside.
bid you vote on Nov. 3 as you think
best when you are in the sacred pre-
cincts of your own homes. The men
who are accustomed to giving heed to
danger signals, as are railroad men,
intend to keep the signals of danger
pointed out, not by Republicans alone,
but by the Democrats, not by parti-
sans. but by patriotic motives, and
they can be trusted that they can
look out for themselves. I make no
personal appeal to you. Men are moth
ing In great contest like this, but
principles and policies are every
thing"
