The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-11-08

invited each one of them to receive
personal welcome. He shook them by
the hand at the rate of early fifty
a minute, men, boys, women and girls.
Chief Marshal Harry Frease started
the great final campaign parade to-
night before 8 o'clock, and Canton had
a pyrotecnical blaze of glory such as
she has never enjoyed before in the
eventful days which nave passed. The
Republican committee, the Republican
and Democratic sound money commit
tees, the citizens and reception and
escort committees and the citizens of
Canton and Stark county combined
with people from Eastern Ohio and
western Pennsylvania and made one
last great demonstration. They
marched and cheered over lines of
march that have been trod by nearly
a million people, and are now historic
in the annals of American politics.
Public and business buildings and
homes were tagged, hammered and
bright with many colored lights. The
Mckinley triumphal arch, which en-
thusiastic CantOnians built weeks ago,
was radiant with national colors, en-
HANGED by electrical effects. At many
points along the line Of march through
the principle streets were stationed
stands of fireworks which were shot
high in the air, and as the parade
moved along it's triumphant course
with bands and drum corps, horse fd-
dies and calliope whistles, bazoos and
tOrpedoeS, and every other deafening
sound, thousands of torches and fam
beauS made the scene one of eXcep-
tional brilliancy.
Thousands of torches and hambeaux
made the scene respondent. The
echoes of the roar Of cannon and the
din of cheering reverberated over the
city and for miles into the country.
Maj. Mckinley with a score of friends,
reviewed the parade as it passed his
house. The famous temporary review
ing stand was arched with red, white
and blue incandescent lights, and key
stoned with an American eagle, while
Old Glory in festoons on all sides and
waving high in air, made the scene of
patriotism supreme, as the president
elect, with barred head, bowed his &C
acknowledgements to the thousands Of
enthusiastic marchers, as they passed
by with their demonstrations of joy
and congratulations. 1t was g. sight
that will never be forgotten and will
stand out among Cantonians as the
supreme hour of their happiness in the
absolute knowledge that their fellow
citizen was the one chosen as the chief
magistrate of the nation.
Owing to Mrs. McKinley's health, 1t
is expected hat i will end jollif-
pa oOCO anu liz u1SIAl1llCy HCll,
which for months has reigned supreme
here, will now take a rest in the hope
Of gaining greater strength for the days
of the inaugural ceremonies.
MESSAGE FROM WASHBURN.
The following are extracts from mes
sages of congratulations, received to-
day by Maj. Mckinley:
Hon. w. D.. Washburn, Minneapolis have
no words that can convey to you the gratitude
and joy that I feel over the result of your
election. We have been, as 1t were, standing
lieved of all apprehension, is a relief that can
hardly be expected. In my judgment, no
president since Lincoln has to meet the diff
fculties and embarrassments that will con-
front you. The whole country will look to
you as the one to relieve it from the troubled
conditions that have existed for the past three
years. The conditions that are to confront
you are most dangerous and far-reaching.
Joseph Jefferson, Pittsheld, Mass.- con-
graduate you upon your splendid victory.
Am a trife late, but none the less sincere.
Here's to your health and your family. may
they all live long and prosper.
Daniel H. Hastings, Governor Of Pennsyl-
vania-The most satisfactory thing about your
campaign Is that you made not a single mis-
take. You met every question fairly and
most ably. There seems to have been a divine
that your administration may be as equally
successful as has been the campaign which
has so triumphantly closed.
Hon. Charles Foster, ex-Secretary of the
Treasury-Mrs Foster and her daughters wish
to join me In extending their sincere con-
CALCULATIONS to Mrs. Mckinley and yourself.
