THE GREATEST DAY OF THE cA1PAlGN

"1Ylerc 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
brate the anniversaries of the early
statesmen who were more nearly of our
political belief. = y =
when we reflect the development of
all this wealth is in a state of less than
10000 square miles, and among people
not yet 2,50O,OOO in number, we can be-
gin to realize how great is our country.
Can it be possible that such a magnif-
cent commonwealth will ever lend her
influence to free silver, free trade, dis
honor and partial or entire reputation?
Ono, no, never.D No. l say, forever no.
What the people of this country want,
whether they dwell in Michigan or Ten
nessee or Ohio, 10 n policy that will pro-
tect and defend every American inter-
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 wnnt is to restore a policy
that will enable us to pay as we 20,
both government and people. We have
not been doing that for four years past.
I am sure your great and grand state
can be relied upon to enroll itself in the
column of national honor as against re-
pudiation, Of a protective tariff, rcci-
procity and the maintenance everywhere
of public order, tranquility and the SUI
premacy of law"

DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS
Citizens of Kentucky Join In Support of

Citizens Of Kentucky Join In Support Of
Mckinley and Honest Money.
A large delegation from Kentucky,
composed of both Republicans and sound
money Democrats, was one of the most
demonstrative in honoring the Repub-
lican candidate. To them Mr.. Mckinley
said:

the past twelve months the Kentucky
people have changed their opinions on
the questions of honest money and public
honor. Great applause and cries Of No,
no.O Kentucky has usually been a Dem
ocratic state, and in 1876 gave that
sturdy Democratic statesman, Samuel
]. Tilden of New York, an unprccedent-
ed popular majority for President. His
memory is doubtless revered by many of
your Democrats today, and venture to
send by you this message to them in Mr..
Tilden's own words.
"In his celebrated joint debate with
Horace Greeley, in 1910. MI. Tflden said:
AN unstable currency produces instabil-
ity of prices and is peculiarly injurious
to the farmer. He ought not to be SUBJ
ject to the tremendous agency of an un-
seen cause, which may %disappoint his
wisest calculations and overwhelm him
in constant ruin, but he ought to be Sc

CAMPAIGNS NOTES.

We do. not believe in wanton cruelty
under any circumstances; Mr.. Bryan
should see to it ut once that the ropes Of
his parachute arc in good working order.
The best way to deal with a 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 n 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 u must be lost, strayed
or stolen. 1t has been conspicuous by its
absence in Popocratic speeches for sew
oral. weeks.
William Mckinley never advocated the
passage of n 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 3 fer a brief period, but when
the country returns there won't be any
more dogs worth mentioning.

know that from experience. There is
not a handler of ore Mt the Ashtabula
harbor who does not know that when
the great ore and steel industries of this
country are stopped he has nothing to do.
There is not a coal miner from Perry
county who does not know that when the
fires are e~xtinguished in our furnaces
there is no demand for him. Now, the
Republican party is universal. It ap-
plies to every industry from the man who
digs the coal, which they call the raw
material-if they just tried digging it for
a time, however, they would find it was
not so very raw-from the man who
mines the ore in Michigan and Minne-
sofa to the man who handles it at our
great ports, and to the final finished
product. the Republican policy protects
, and defends them all.
And what do we defend them against?
We defend them against the products of
a cheaper labor in the old world. We
defend our labor because in the United
States every laboring man is an equal
| citizen with every other man in the conn
try. I am glad to see you; glad to meet
you; glad to have your assurances of an
| unprecedented victory in Ohio this year.

Canton, O., Oct. II, 1s96.-Canton, the
home of William Mckinley, has seen
many marvellous events in this campaign,
but 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 spokesmen 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 a 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
the thousands who heard them.
