CAMPAIGN NOTES,

We do not believe in wanton cruelty
under any circumstances; Mr.. Bryan
should see to it at once that the ropes Of
his parachute are in good working order.
The best way to deal with panic is to
vote it to death in advance
The Boy Orator has become irritable.
He scolds the people and calls names.
He started out on his campaign in good
temper and in good voice. He still has
the voice.
If Bryan will look at his hand again
he will find that there are four cards
instead of five in his flush.
The crime of '73 must be lost. strayed
/ or stolen. 1t has been conspicuous by its
absence in Popocratic speeches fopasev-
eral weeks.
William Mckinley never advocated the
passage of a law which was designed to
take money out of the pockets of Ameri-
can wOrkingmen.
Bryan is misled into thinking "the
country is going to the dogs" by the
snarling of Altgeld and Tillman. The
country will go after these dogs on No
vember } for brief period, hut when
the country returns there won't be any
more dogs worth mentioning.

Cries of Mckinley, Mckinley There
is but one aim and purpose, and this is
that you may have an opportunity to

This opportunity is best enjoyed when we
de our own work in the United States
and not in some other country of the
world. This opportunity cannot be
reached, however, until we have a re-
turn of confidence. which can come only
when the American people have settled
for all time that they will have no de-
preciated currency and declare that the
principles of the Republican party shall
be upheld.
When confidence comes, money will
come. If you had all the silver in the
world in the United States it would not
make more business. Business makes
money, money does not make business.

WORDS TO RAILROAD MEN.
Employment and Good Money Are De
sired by All.

There were railroad men on all sides
of Maj. Mckinley when he began his
fourteenth address. One party repre-
scented the Michigan Central. Another
came from Columbus, o., and represent
ed the Pennsylvania lines entering that
city. Still another party represented the
Erie employees of Cleveland. To all
these Maj. Mckinley said:
There is not a workingman in this
audience who would not rather work for
a good road than poor road; and there
is not an employee in this great audience
that would not rather be paid in good
money than poor money. (Applause.)
What you want first and above all
else is employment What you want is
to get on the pay roll of Il good railroad
company, for you have to get on the pay
roll before you can get anything out or
the pay car, to which my friend has al
luded. Great cheering) But in order
to get on the pay roll the railroads must
have business. You know when bust
ness is poor with the railroads some of
you are stricken from the pay roll.
(Cries of That's right.) You have eX-
perienced that in the last three years and
n half. What you are interested in,
therefore, is the general prosperity of the
country. We want every factory in the
land to be at work. We want every

AT9THE MECCAOF PATRIOTISM

Canton, O., Oct. II, S9G.-Canton, the
home of William Mckinley, has seen
many marvellous events in this campaign,
h,t none which equaled that of today.
More men and women, more special
trains, more delegations, more assur-
ances of loyalty to national honor, more
addresses and more responses by Mai.
Mckinley than on any previous day,
were the record of this Seventeenth day
of October, 1896. From morning until
night the number of special trains, the
shouts and cheers of delegations. the
music of bands. the glitter of uniforms
and the addresses of spokesman and re-
sponses of Maj. Mckinley were heard.
Nearly 500 cars brought perhaps 10000
people from nearly half the states of
the union.
Mr.. Mckinley, who left his home carly
for short walk in the crisp October
air, found an anxious throng at his resi-
dence on his return, and from that
moment until long after darkness he was
the center of attraction, the recipient of
honors innumerable and the dispenser of
patriotic sentiments which were received
with marks of the highest approval by
tile thousands who heard them.

THE GREATEST DAY OF THE CAr1PAIGN

"There is one thing that can be said
about the Republican party-it can cele-
brate the anniversaries of all the great
American statesmen, no matter to what
party they may have belonged, who
stood for the country and its honor.
We have no difficulty in celebrating, too,
with our Democratic friends, the ami
versary of Jefferson, Jackson and Ben
ton. We celebrate those anniversaries
with the same satisfaction that we cele-
brate the anniversaries of the early
statesmen who were more nearly of our
political belief.
when we reflect the development of
all this wealth is in state of less than
10000 square miles, and among people
not yet 100000 in number, we can be-
gin to realize how great is our country.
Can it be possible that such magnifi-
cent commonwealth will ever lend her
influence to free silver, free trade, dis
honor and partial or entire reputation?
CNo, no, neyer.O No, l say, forever no..
What the people of this country want,
whether they dwell in Michigan or Ten
nessee or Ohio, is a policy that will pro-
est against the outside world, from any
quarter. What we want is a tariff put
upon foreign goods high enough to not
only give us revenue enough to run the
government, but to afford adequate pro-
lection to every American industry and
occupation. This is the policy of the
Republican party.
"What we want is to restore policy
that will enable us to pay as we go,

not been doing that for four years past

Mich. to whom Maj. Mckinley said:

pie have been saying, that there was

Another large and interesting delega-

states. They were addressed by Mr..
Mckinley as follows:
"You have discovered in the last four
years that it is a good deal safer to con-
suit markets than maxims. You have
discovered that prices current and actual

better guide to business prosperity than

and in that spirit you are here today;
