Closing of the Centennial Celebration at
Cleveland,

SicNeI1nu.
CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 1~l.-Beautiful
weather greeted Ferry's Victory day,
and the closing day of the city's centen-
NAL celebration. Nearly all the business
houses and manufacturing concerns
were closed. Long before the hour set
for tho ceremonies to begin the streets
were filed with great crowds of people.
During the early morning hours con-
stantly arriving excursion trains from
all over Northern Ohio irCught many
thousands of visitors to ~ city. The
celebration Of Perry's ',lctory day
was begun at 8 80 a. II. Ly the firing
of the national salute at forty-tive
guns. at 6 80 a. M. there was a recep-
ton to Governor Lippitt and staff of
Rhode Island, and other distinguished
visitors. An hour later the exercises at
the Central Armory commenced, where,
following various selections of music,
Mayor Robert E. Mckisson introduced
Governor Bushnell of Ohio, as the
president Of the day.

nell and prayer by the Rev. John

talized the name of Oliver Hazard
Perry will be reproduced on the lake
front in a sham battle and pyrotechnic
display which will be the grand finale
Of the centennial celebration.

Mr.. Crawford in his discussion last
night struck right at the vital issue Of
the day business depression-in a

WAS devoted to explaining the cause of
the depression and the remedy therefor.

OF the Mckinley law; the remedy, the
enactment Of another Mckinley law

necessary for Mr. Crawford to meet the

WHY should free silver republicans
support Mckinley for his position on
the tariff question? The republican
party, by reason of its single gold
standard platform, has driven enough
senators from the party to make it
impossible for that party to control
the. y. S. senate for the next four
years. That means that the present
tariff laws Will not be tinkered with
no matter who is elected president.
What, then, can an honest friend
of the free and unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver at the natural
ratio of Is to 1, without consulting
the wishes of any other nation on
earth, hope TO gain by supporting the
gold bug party, even if Mckinley is
its nominee? Will you, my free sill
yer republican, vote against what you
KNOW to be your own and your coun-
try's best interests, for the mere sake
of party, when you know that the
party cannot possibly accomplish any,
thing in the way of an increase of
tariffs even should it be successful in
electing president?
