908 Broadway, Oct. a.
Haywards was en- fete to-day. Had the
aeronaut who ascended this afternoon
made his skyward trip this morning he
would have been forced to the conclusion
that all roads lead to Haywards. As
early as o'clock the wagons commenced
to arrive with the farmers and their
families from the surrounding country,
all intent on en- joying to safety the food
for body and mind so literally provided
at the big Repu blican barbecue.
There were free beef, free clans, free
coffee, free potatoes, free campaign liter
ature and, to sum up, everything was
free, including the right of free speech.
To the man whose mind was free there
were several free object lessons. One of
the most prominent perhaps was a little
scene that was witnessed at the entrance
to the barbecue arena. There were scores
of farmers carts and wagons lined up.
They all showed wear and tear and some
were just able to hang together with the
aid of numerous wire wrappings and oc-
casionally the liberal use of hay band.
The farmers jeans were worn and his
wife and children did not look as though
they would have objected to a replenisn-
ing of their wardrobes. But it was the
best showing they could make. As the
band was playing Marching Through
Georgia" a substantial wagon passed
where the farmers rigs were hitched. The
wagon was well built, the harness was in
good order, the horses appeared to be well
fed, as they hauled a big load of prod uce
to market. Seated on the front and back
were four fat, sleek, very contented China
men, and as they criticized the process
sion, in their own language. it would have
been interesting to have heard what those
Celestials. who can live on cents a day
and grow rich. thought of people who
laugh at the necessity of American pro-
lection and who regard the matter of un-
restricted immigration as inferior to that
OF hap-hazard experiment in finance.
Several of those farmers 'stook inn that
Chinese wagon and doubtless thought of
it for hours later when General Barnes
was letting drop few truths from the
platform.
Several trainloads of people went from
Oakland, and special electric trains carried

CANTON, ONO, Oct. 24.-Delega,ion
came to-day with a good deal of regular
ity from sunrise to sunset. Major Nc
Kinley was employed in speaking TO
throngs or in greeting smaller groups of
visitors from o'clock in the morning till
late this evening. 1t was after 6 o'clock
when the last great delegation, 1000 railway
men, from st. Louis and East st. Louis.
marched shouting and cheering down the
hill from the Mckinley house. Enthusi-
asm arose to its most intense pitch to-day,
and Major McKinley's speeches seemed to
move the throngs which came to hear
more deeply than ever. There were
nearly $4,000 visitors.
Upward of twenty five delegations called
formally upon Major Mckinley and he
made twelve speeches. Railway men
camein great numbers, and their enthusi-
asm was unbounded. The wooden fences
about the house were torn down and car
ried away by relic-hunters, and all the
smaller trees and shrubs in the yard were
cat down close 10 the ground and con-
verted into souvenirs OF the Presidential
campaign of 1896 in Canton. Men almost
came to blows in the eagerness of their de-
sire to get near enough to Major Mckinley
to touch his garments. The visitors to
Canton are becoming more demonstrative
as the day of election approaches.
Major Mckinley was in excellent health
to-day and spoke with his usual vigor.
His speeches, with lew exceptions, were
short and of the impromptu order. He
has had a day of uncommon activity and
seems to have enjoyed it. He said tc-
night that he thought his heaviest work
fn this campaign had been done. There
are delegations every day next week, and
some i'm portant ones are expected, but
not more than half dozen scheduled for
q single day. The executive committee of
the Railroad Mems League of Boston is
expected here on Monday to call on Major
Mckinley.
Pennsylvania sent the first delegation
that greeted the candidate. At 9 O'Clock
a party OF 400 marched up the hill to the
Mckinley residence. 1t was composed OF
representatives of Berks. Chester, SchuyI-
kill and Montgomery counties, Pennsyl-
yania. Reading and Lebanon were the
principal towns represented. Ex-Mayor
]. R. Kenny of Reading, for the third time
during the campaign, spoke for the Read
ing and Berks County visitors. while the

ors were introduced by Miss Lydia Car
baugh. Major Mckinley addressed the
delegation with great earnestness and was
frequently applauded. After listening to
his speech the visitors were introduced to
Mrs. McKin ley, to whom they presented
large clusters of yellow chrysanthemums.
A delegation of 800 farmers and oil-pro-
ducers from the counties OF Allen, Henry
and Anglaise, Ohio, then came along.
A large and spirited delegation from
Cleveland, numbering more than 1000,
called on Major Mckinley at 80 o'clock.
They came with glee club and with many
flags, bands and banners. In the delega-
tion was the British Isles Association of
Cleveland. the employees of the Standard
Tool Company and of the Standard
Machine Company. There were several
speeches, and the sun went down before
Major Mckinley addressed the great dele
CATION. The spokesmen were Colonel
William A. MoDahan for the Irish mem
bers OF the British Isles Association, d. w.
Johns for the Welsh. Captain George Wer-
ner for the English, w. W. Greer for the
Manxmen. William Downey for the Scotch.
w. H Prong for the Standard Tool Com
pany, w. G. Talmage for the Standard
Machine Company.
The most demonstrative delegation of
the day and one of the largest, came from
Missouri and Southern Illinois. 1t was
composed in the main OF the railway
mems sound-money clubs of ST. Louis and
East ST. Louis. At no time in the cam
paign has Major Mckinley received more
enthusiastic greeting than that given him
just after sunset tonight by the railway
men. There we e 1000 of them, and their
mighty shouts and cheers were the loudest
Canton has heard.

NEW YORK.N. Y, Oct. 24.-The Her

Kinley 24S votes in the Electoral College
against 134 for Bryan. Its recapitulation
OF the Fifty-fifth Congress is as follows:
Whole number of members, 357; number
of Republicans, 224 number of Demo

says 215 Congressman will vote for sound
money and l42 for free silver. 1t predicts
that the Senate will show an increase in
Republican members over the present
number by 10. whereas the Democratic
members will show falling off from SO to
80 mem bers during the same period, and
the Populists from 6 members to 4.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND, Oct. M.-Gen-
eral Harrison delivered one of the greatest
speeches of the campaign in this city to-
night. He was given an ovation of cheer,
ing and waving of hats that lasted about
FIVE minutes. In his speech he argued
against the independent coinage of silver
as dangerous experiment and admon-
ished the people to beware of the men
who were trying to stir UP class strife,
urging that prosperity and greatness can
only be attained by Mckinley and a
har monious people. He dwelt upon the
dangers concealed in the doctrine that a
President of the United States must
await the call of a Governor to enforce the
laws of the United States within any
State.

City.

There appears to be trouble brewing for the
Northwestern Loan and Building association,
Of this city, of which John D. Van Norman
is secretary and general manager. An action
is now pending in the district court for the
appointment of a receiver to wind up its
affairs, and last evening a meeting was held
of a number of Withdrawing members of the
association, to consider their interests in the
matter. The meeting was held at "a Wash
ington avenue south, and represented thirty
stockholders. T. w. Hughes acted as chair
man, and ]. ]. Fitzpatrick, as secretary.
]. C. O'Keeffe stated the purposes Of the
meeting, and explained the situation so far as
the withdrawing members were concerned.
A recent assessment of the association for
23% per cent on the stock has been ordered,
which the Withdrawing members are held
obliged to pay. They claim that, as they
are not allowed to participate in gains of the
association since the application for with
drawal was filed. and have now no voice
whatever in the management Of the con-
Germ, they ought not to be held liable for
losses, consequently should not be stuck for
additional assessments.
The gentlemen present were especially bit
ter against J. D. Van Norman, secretary Of
the association, and while they admit he
is doubtless strictly honorable in his deal
ings, they would like to have him removed,
and a more satisfactory man placed in
charge. The proposition was laid before the
meeting to intervene with the action now
pending for a receiver, but this did not
seem acceptable to the majority of the gen.
tlemen present. 1t was deemed more ad-
Yisable to act in conjunction with the officers
of the association, if possible, to bring about
a better condition of affairs.

M,KINLEY,s RELIGION.
An Inspired Answer to the A. p. A.
Charges.

CLEVELAND, o., April 15.-The following
statement is made by James B. Morrow,
editor of the Cleveland Leader, a newspaper,
which perhaps more nearly represents Mr..
Mckinley than does any other in the United
States:
''The American Protective association has
given circulation to the statement hat Nc
kinley is a member Of the Ancient Order Of
Hibernens; that NJ. A. Hanna is a Roman
Catholic; that Mr. Boyle, Mr.. McKinley's
private secretary, is also a member of tho
Catholic church, and finally that while Mr.
Mckinley was governor Of Ohio his appoint
ments were largely made from the member
ship of certain religious denomination.
"This statement Is untrue. Mr.. Mckinley
is a member of the Methodist church, and at
this time he is one of the trustees of the
First Methodist church, of Canton, o. Mr..
Mckinley is not a member Of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians nor of the American
Protective association. He is a Free Mason,
a comrade of the Grand Army of the Re-
public; also Of the Loyal Legion and men,
Der of a college fraternity. The charge that
his appointments to Office while he was gov
ernor of Ohio were made from the Roman
Catholic church any other church Is
ridiculous and untrue. I am authorized to
say that Mr.. Mckinley knows nothing about
the application of a committee from any
organization to visit him at Canton. 1t
should also be stated that both Mr.. Hanna
and Mr.. Boyle are members of the Episcopal
church,

COLORADO DEMOCRATS.
Free Silver Men I'm the Majority at
the Denver Convention.

DENVER, April 15.-Tbe State convention
was called to order this morning in the
Broadway theater, by Olney Newell, secretary
of the state central committee j. A. Mac
Aliney of Pueblo, was unanimously chosen
temporary chairman. Mr.. MacAliney ad-
dressed the convention briefly, declaring that
a majority of the Democrats of Colorado be-
lieved the free coinage of silver to be the
paramount issue before the country and ex-
pressing the belief that the national Demo
cratic convention would declare fer 1t, with
out reference to the cooperation of other
countries. The strength Of the silver men in
the convention was shown by the enthusi-
asm with which this remark was received
John E. Brothers was selected temporary
secretary. The selection of committees on
credentials and order of business consumed
the morning session. An unusual feature of
the convention was the small number of
women delegates, there being but ten in the
total representation of 46S. The convention,
after appointing committees, adjourned until
2 o'clock.
The convention, after nominating one dele
gate at large and adopting platform, ad-
journed. The platform which was unani-
mously adopted, deals with no other ques-
ton but that of money, and favors free coin
age at the ratio of 16 to 1. The declaration
of the convention, which follows long
preamble is as follows:
eve favor the immediate restoration of
free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver
at the present legal ratio of 16 to /, as such
coinage existed prior to 1873, without wait
ing for the aid or consent of any other ma
tion, such gold and silver to be full legal
tender for all debts, public and private

OMAHA, Neb., April 15-The state conven-
tion of Nebraska Republicans to select dele
gates to the national convention convened
in Omaha tonight, 1,057 delegates being pres
ent. Notwithstanding the general conces-
sion that the body was unanimous for Nc
Kinley for president the session was by no
means harmonious, and a fight of consid-
erable proportions developed early. The first
ripple of excitement was provoked when ex
Gov. Crounse introduced resolutions censur-
ing Senator Thurston for dabbling In poll
tics. The resolution was tabled without dis
cussion.
The resolutions congratulate the country
upon the certain return of the Republicans
to power. The financial plank is as follows:
1--WE pledge ourselves in advance to the
tional convention, believing that 1t will de-
clare against the free and unlimited coinage
of silver and for a currency Of gold, silver
and paper as sound as the government and as
untarnished as its honor
One of the side lights Of the convention
was the attitude Of the A. P. A. toward Nc
Kinley. H. A. Thompson, of st. Louis, a
member Of the executive committee Of the
advisory board of the A. P. A., arrived in this
natl meeting Of the board, at which it was
decided to oppose the nomination of Nc
Kinley.

An Arizona Funeral Custom.

Arizona Republican.
Il am struck" said a well-known traveller
the other day, with few features in Phoe-
nix that mark no other town on the coast.
One of them is the custom of posting up
biack-boarded notices of invitations to fu-
nerals. I've seen that done in some of the
little towns in the Gulf states, but nowhere
else. know it's sort of habit only from
conversation I had with an old-timer. He
said that about twenty years ago, when the
town was new, there were no newspapers,
and even later the only vehicle of news was
a weekly paper. There was no ice to be had,
ciaIIv Gal in the summer time. The oniv p way
to bring the news of the death and funeral
to the attention Of the public was by means
of notices stuck on the posts, and the Gus
tom has continued to this date, when no
necessity exists"
