The morning times., 1896-10-03


Week OF continued rain and wind, which
conditions have greatly interfercd With
the reception of delegations by MAJOR Mc-
kiniey, the sun came out this morning
and the clouds cleared away.
Among MIR McKinley's early callers We're
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, OF Massachu-
setts; Theo dore Roosevelt, president Of
the New York police Loard; Congressman
Dalzell, of PENNSYLVANIA, and Congressman
Nelson DIngley, chairman of the Ways and
Means Com mittee, They have been max
ing speeches in this part of the country
and called To pay their respects To the
candidate and to tell him Of the prospects
III the ciireIent sections IN wmcn ,ney
hay etrayclcd This is how they sum up
the situation:
Mr.. Dingley said" have just begun
series of speeches in the West. The out
look for Republican victory is more
than promising. 1t seems now only
question of how large a plurality will be
given Major Mckinley.
I'VE hope by giving Mckinley an over
whelming majority we may be able to
control the next Senate hey yond doubt.
We have assurances from all of the Congress
Sional districts that the next House will
-ee-+arS-fy Itepuhhean, but We want the
Senate, too. Maine will give Mckinley
much larger plurality than That by which
the Republican State ticket was elected
In September"
Mr. DaEell said:.J have been all through
West Virginia, apd l am convinced that
that State Will be carried by the Itcpub
Leans. Senator ElkinS is devoting his
personal attention 10 the campaign there
and | shall he disappointed il he does not
succeed in his efforts to wheel the State
into Republican line. The Republicans
viii surely have Il safe ma jority in the
next House"
NEW ENGLAND STATES ARE SAFE.
Mr.. Lodge: speaking for Massac hGsetts
can say that the ma aoIity for Mckinley
tbs year will far exceed the Republican
majority of rwU- years ago, which was
$4,000. New England can be depended
upon for an overwhelming majority fer
The Republican ticket"
Mir. HC"Seyelt: lie Indications are that
New -iork VIII give Major Mckinley the
greatest majority ever accorded any candI-
date. In fact, the sentiment in the East
is al in favor OF the Republican ticket, and
from what l have learned, this great Re-
publican tidal wave is rapidly moving
westward.
Rutherlurd Hayes son of TIE late Presi-
Gent Rutherford b. Hayes, called on Major
Mckinley today did also Harry Gar
Held, son of the laniented President James
\. Garfield. Bishop Vanvleck called this
Afternoon, and among the callers from the

puration counsel OF New York City.

MAJOR M'kINLEY'S SPEECH.
II gives me special pleasure to meet al
my home III "A yOmJ IaeeIIpg the ,lliZcIs
OF the state of West Virginia and OF my
vwn native state.
A Republican has no emba Ssment In
speaking to an American audience lie
uUcs not have To make Il different speech
- q NY .ONsAaA~s. \, -
say To the people OF West Virginia, or any
England, or in the far West, or on the
PdClIlc coast, for the principles of tne
Republicdn party are as national as our
lag. Their purposes embrace the good
OF every American intc rest and section
The great thought OF the people of lnis
country, wherever they may reside, Or
whatever may be their occupations is
how we are 10 get back as "a nation 10
the old conditions uf business activity;
We Rave tuc saIur nrcn, the ,lIIIc mines, lac
same manufactorieS. the same money, the
same maSterful genius among our gcoplc
tnat We had between $50 and ls.,2 INT
we have not the same degree OF prosperity
now That we had then. A nd what is the
trouble? "a voice, Free Trade, followed
by great applause.D
lu II slLi,.r word the trouble with the
country Is lack Of confluence. To what
has brought about that lack OF confidence
We may Gltfer, but that there is lack of
confidence every citizen everywhere rpst
couceGe. Tor every citizen has felt ii i'm
ms own trade and experience. Now what
IS this thing called business confidence?
1t iS-a belief in the stabiities of the
values, faith in our markets, and our
money: faith that the consumption of next
year VIII be as great or greater than the
present one; faith t1at men will have work
and that the currency OF the country will
be liked and stable, and unuepreciating
in value.
HOW TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE.
The merchant has confidence. When?
There may be some merchants in this
audience today. The merchant has con
lidence when he stocks his shelves with
more goods, IN expectation of larger sales
The manufacturer las confidence when
he increases his machinery, hires more
men, adds new factory, lays in his
material in advance, certain that il will
not decline before his product is sold: con-
iident that he can pay wages to labor and
prices FOR his raw material, aud not find
in the end that his goods will be driven out
of the American market by foreign goods
under free trade policy.
Thelaborerfeelst tnis confidence when, as
sured of steady employment. he buys n
lot. and starts the building of house for
himself and family. The farmer feels this
confidence when he plants generously, con-
fident that what he reaps will be in de-
nand and bring him fair return for his
toll.
The railroad COMPANY feels it when 1t
extends its lines and its switches, gets ne w
equipment and improves its old equipment
and Increases its payroll. The banker
