CANTON. o., Oct. 2.-After nearly a
week of continuous rain and wind, which
conditions have greatly interfered with
the reception of delegations by Major
Mckinley the sun broke out this morn
ing and the clouds were cleared away.
Among Major McKinley's early callers
were Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of
Massachusetts; Theodore Roosevelt,
president of the New York police board l.;
Congressman Dalzell, of Pennsylvania,
and Congressman Nelson Dinghy, chair
man of the ways and means committee.
They all told Mckinley he would be
elected, sure.
About noon, delegation of $50 farmers
from the West Virginia pan handle ar
rived.
In response to the addresses delivered
by the spokesman for delegations, Major
Mckinley said:
1T gives me special pleasure to meet
in joint, meeting the citizens of the
state Of West Virginia and of my own
native state. Republican has no en-
barrassment in speaking to an American
audience. He does not have to make a

RIGHTS OF LF-GOvERNMENT
Those who have been Republicans in
the past. those who have voted the
Republican ticket from the time the
party was organized, find ample ex-
cuse for departing from that party
this year. Go back to 1888. and you Will
find that the Republican party de-
clared for gold and silver as standard
money, and even went so far as to de-
nounce the Democratic party for try
ing to demonetize silver. (Applause.)
Read that platform adopted by the
Republican national convention of 1888,
and see how it tried to turn the in
dignation of the people against the
Democratic administration, because
that administration had been hostile
to silver, and on that platform the Re
publican party won the election. In
1892 the national convention of the
Republican party declared that the
American people from tradition and
interest were in favor of bimetallism.
Mr.. Bryan maintained that one of
the best evidences that the silver idea
was the correct one was found in the
fact that all great trusts and COM
bines are against the Democratic
ticket. He followed up his old line of
argument. and discussed the law of
supply and demand as applied to sill

thousand people composed the audi
ence that heard the candidate. His re-
ception was of the heartiest sort. Mr.
Bryan said in part:
Ladies and gentlemen: In this cap
ital of West Virginia, I desire to ex-
press my thanks for the very cordial
welcome which as been extended to me
by the members of the triple alliance
l find here upon the platform. Demo-
Gratis, Republicans, Populists, members

among themselves on minor questions,
are united in their determination to
restore to the people of this country
the gold and silver coinage of the
constitution. (Cheers.) 1 believe that
in this campaign we are entitled to
the support of all political parties who
believe still in a government of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie. (Cheers.) We may differ upon

Let me state to you a reason for
the opposition of these railroad presi-
dents, which they themselves do not
suggest. They oppose our platform, not

They object to it because we demand

it. (Applause.1

Great applause.) There is another
plank that these men find fault with,
but they don't say much about it; that
is the plank wherein we declare against
GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION
and in favor of tine bin that passed the
senate to protect people WHO are ar
rested for contempt. Why do they not
criticize that plank? Because the bill
which we endorsed in our platform
passed the senate of the United States

roll call. The bill is just. 1t is giving
the right of trial by jury, and these men
dare not oppose the justice of the meas
ure, and therefore they seek some other
excuse upon which to oppose the prin-
eiples of our platform"
Mr.. Bryan then rehearsed his familiar
arguments ON the money question and
continued:
They say that we are trying to raise
class against class. L deny it. We are
trying to arouse the people to protect
their homes from a conspiracy which
has no equal in the history of the world.

Several of the Frauds Will Come to
Grief in New York.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Septem-
Der grand jury today handed in several
indictments against auctioneers in this
city for conducting fraudulent auc-
tons, and in addition made one of the
strongest presentments ever made by
any grand jury in this city, against
those auction houses against whom
sufficient evidence to warrant an in
dictment had been procured. Arrests
will probably be made soon.
The presentment, in part says:
Among the various fraudulent de-
vices, may be mentioned the practice
Of procuring false, fictitious and
fraudulent bids from buffers, or by
bidders who regularly attend these
auctions in the interest and in the pay
of the auctioneer for the purpose OF
making such fraudulent and fictitious
bids against bona fide bidders in order
to advance the price of the article Of
fered at the auction.
I'm addition to this practice, evil
dence has also been adduced before
the grand jury showing that in at
least one instance it was the custom OF
a public auctioneer to keep in stock
an article of high grade and quality,
which he pretended to put I'D for sale
from day to day, while furnishing to
those persons making the highest bids
a similar article of inferior quality
