 Canton O., Oct. 26-A force of line men began to-day the work of string ing additional wires from the office of she Western Union Telegraph company in this city to Major McKinley's resi- dence, and on the night of election the large dining room, which connects with Major McKinley's library, will be con- verted into a veritable telegraph office. The candidate was of the opinion that the returns furnished him over the spe- cial wire which at present connects his residence with republican headquarters in New York and Chicago would be sufficient to convey the result in gen. eral way, but he has yielded to the sug- gestions of several of his personal friends and has permitted additional wires to be placed in his home for the reception of more complete and detail ed reports of the election.
 In addition to the private wire re- turns, Major Mckinley will take the full election night service of the United Associated Presses over it's spe- cial wire, which has also been connect ed with the candidates home, together with the bulletins of the Western Union Telegraph company.
 The republicans of Canton are ar ranging to hold a big meeting in the Tabernacle on the night before election to be addressed by Major Mckinley.
 Major Mckinley began his last week of speech making with an address to four hundred employees of the Balti- more and Ohio Southwestern railroad from the towns of Seymour and Wash ington, Ind Major Mckinley was greeted with prolonged cheers when he stepped forward to speak. His remarks were in the main confined tola discus sion of the relation between employer and employe. He said there must be no coercion, but thorough harmony and cooperation.
 The next callers were six hundred employees of the Cleveland, Lorrain and Wheeling road Major Mckinley ad- dressed the delegation on the money and tariff issues
 A delegation in which much interest centered was one from Newark and Trenton, N. J. It was accompanied by a hundred members of the Frelinghuy- sen Lancers who had with them their own drum corps of thirty members The speaker for the delegation was John s. Gibson, comptroller of the city of Newark.
 Major Mckinley in reply said: "I think we all have a glowing affection for the original thirteen states that laid the foundation of our splendid po- litical fabric. For more than 120 years it has stood the shock of battle from without and from within, and is strong CT and more patriotic to-day than it has ever been as will be seen by it's vote week from tomorrow. (Cheer- ing) I am glad to welcome you, my fellow citizens, from the state and home of my distinguished associate on the national ticket, that splendid and typical representative American, that honest citizen, that incorruptible statesman-G Garret A. Hobart. Loud and prolonged cheers.)
 NO ordinary circumstance could have brought you a thousand miles to Can ton; no ordinary political contest could have assembled on this lawn thousands and tens of thousands of men and wo- men from every quarter It is only be- cause in the public mind there exists belief that we are fronted with a great public peril and because we mean by our votes to shun and avoid it. We have experienced only calamity by following false teachers. We don't pro- pose to experience another and even greater calamity by following the same teachers. We have already withstood the experience of partial free trade, policy that has brought idleness upon our workingmen and extinguished the fires of our furnaces It Is proposed now to add to that as though we had not suffered enough from the fatal heresy that somehow or other people can get rich by debasing our currency.
 "They have reduced wages, reduced employment and now they want to re- duce the value of the money in which they are paid. So that we are suffer- ing in both directions What we want in the United States is stable tariff law that will raise enough money to pay all the current expenses, that will obviate the necessity of borrowing and lay up surplus to wipe out the exist ing debt By pursuing a protective policy from 1861 to 1893 we paid off more than two-thirds of our great war debt, reaching more than two billions of dollars, and if our prosperity had not been interrupted and the republican policy not abandoned we would have wiped it all off by to-day. Loud cheeTs.)
 Now, what we want to do is to get back to that good, American, patriotic, protective policy that stands for the American people and American delev- opment against the world besides. Then we want to pursue sound finan- cial system and have every dollar in this country to be as sound as the gov ernment itself, and as unquestioned in its integrity as the flag that waves above us. We want public honor kept inviolate. We want to teach and prac- tice reverence for public law, respect for our incorruptible judiciary. love of our free institutions, love for our flag and zeal for public and private honor. Let that be the shield of exalted Amer rIf !
