CANTON, O., Oct. 26.-This was a
day of splendid surprises for Major
Mckinley and his friends They were
not expecting a lively time or any very
large delegations, but it proved to be
the most important Monday of the
campaign, and seven delegations,
numbering about 5000, came to pay
their respects to the candidate The
belief that owing to the nearness of
election day delegations would con-
tain fewer persons seems to have been
unfou1ided. The delegations came to-
day from Massachusetts,, New York,
| Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illi-
nois. The throngs were perhaps more
enthusiastic than ever, and Major Nc
Kinley''s health and voice were at their
best. There was an uncommon variety
| in the character of the delegations
and all branches of honest toll and pro-
fessional life sent representatives. The
weather was delightful.
