ers. In acknowledging the addresses Of
the various speakers, Major Mckinley
said in part:
Il cannot but be impressed that there
is presented to the American people this
year an issue of such unusual import
ance that would bring to my house dele
cation after delegation from near and
distant States to testify their devotion
to the cause which for the moment I
represent. (Applause.) What we want
all OF us, is peace, protection, patriotism
and prosperity. (1remendous cheering }
~ ou know people used to say that
Ohio was always in a state of perpetual
campaigning. Canton is in that State
just now (boisterous laughter and ap-
plause), and that the fall campaign was
no sooner off than the spring campaign
was on, and so it went the year round
Well, We are doing better now, for Ohio
has done away with one of her cleo
uOnS. The old State elections in Ohio
which used to point the way for the
country to follow has been finally aban-
doned, leaving that task to Oregon, Ver-
mont and Maine. They have held up the
cause of the country this year. Oregon
voted in June, and it gave the head of
the Republican ticket more than 1900
plurality, gain as contraSted with the
corresponding election in 1892 of l. 26S
and an increase in the Republican vote
of nearly 5000. (Applause) Yet there
are some people who pretend to think
that the gallant Republicans of that
splendid State are going to let it declare
for those twin deluSiOnS, free trade and
free silver, next November. (Cries of
mo, no.o / do not believe it, but on
the contrary, 1 believe that Oregon will
continue in the place where she natur-
ally belongs, and deserves to belong in
the Republican column. applause.

The crowd in the front part of the

John Dalzell Club of Wilmerding, Penn,
composed of employees of the Westing-
house Air Brake Company, could not
find standing room. They Were marched
on the lawn in the rear OF the house,
and when Major Mckinley finished his
speech to the delegation in the front
yard he passed swiftly through the
house and spoke from a side porch near
the kitchen. Major Mckinley said:
II am glad to md you interested this
year in politics. / am glad to note that
| you, with the rest of the people of the
country, are making politics this year a
business, because you have discovered
during the last four years that politics
is business, and if you want good busi-
ness you must have good politics.

dlence many young men. There never

do make it now, as everybody admits.
There is nothing the people in this
