the customary callers had we'll surrounded
the house and clustered about so as to
try to catch glance at him through the
windows. Mrs. Mckinley was not well
enough to be at the breakfast table.
The only noticeable worry of Major Nc
Kinley through all the unprecedented work
and strain he has been passing through
has been when his wife has been unable
to be at his side with her cheering pres
ence. Ard there is no doubt that he is
very anxious now to get her away from the
never ending excitements necessarily at
tendant upon remaining in Canton at this
tim
When Major Mckinley went to his library
he did not find his mail in it's accustomed
place. But letters came. They were piled
on desks and tables. They numbered thou
sands. And kilograms continue to come in
almost equal number. not only from all
parts of the country. but from Americans
principally. and others, too, from all parts
of the world
President-elect Mckinley was greeted by
two delegations this morning. and extended
congratulations upon his election.
The first composed OF the Stark
county court, county officials and attaches
of the court house. Mr.. Mckinley received
the delegation in his library, where Judge
Mccarthy presented them in the following
words:
Major Mckinley, wish on behalf Of the
county officials and attaches to congratu-
late you on your election to the highest
ofhce in the gift of the people"
A very pretty little delegation greeted
the President-elect just after this. 1t was
the Little Misses Mckinley Club of Akron.
which reached Canton at 10 o'clock via the
Valley road. AT the beginning of the cam
paign a score of girls of Akron organized
a Mckinley and Hobart Club. They had
their meetings and discussions Of various
questions in the campaign. They came
down TO congratulate Major Mckinley on
his election. The party was presented by
Miss Ruth EbriSht. who Said
Major Mckinley. We. as a party of lit
tie girls offer you our heartiest congratu-
latiCnS and present you tfeSe flowers

ISSUES OF THE CAMPAIGN.
C0mmcndatiOn of The Star.

COm0acAU0thOn Oh Ine STAR
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
From one who has been faithful reader
Of The Star for many years. and who
would now like to Join in the general COM
mendation Of its course during the recent
campaign, a few more words relative to
the issues involved may not be amiss.
1t has been said that no party was ever
born to live that had not as its vital prin-
ciple an inherent constitutionality; that for
its growth and vigor a party of the people
must be possessed of sound constitutional
principles And rothing shows this more
clearly than the recent defeat Of the So
called peoples party, under the tempo
rarily captured name Of the democratic
party.
Our two great instruments OF principles
and guarantees are the Declaration Of In
dependence and the Constitution of the
United States. which perfected to the world
the rights of freemen wrested from the
kings by Magma Charta. and the paternal-
ism or socialism Of the peoples party is
neither more nor less than the relegation
of the rights of the people. so dearly bought
and so securely won back to She authority
day fall prey to a strong hand possessed
by an ambitious person, and we would-we,
the people of these United States-wouid
have our dictator king or emperor, and be
world to represent ''his imperial majesty"
There is a wide difference between the gov
ernment that would absorb the rights of
the people and the government that pro-
tects them. But perhaps worse than the
socialism of the peoples party was the
anarchy of one branch Of the democratic
party-the Endorsement of the defiance of
a governor of a state to federal authority
and never did President Cleveland stand so
endeared to the hearts of the people as he
does today in the rejoicing over the down
fall of Altgeldism. When President Cleve-
land telegraphed to Altgeld that this is
the hour for action, not for theories" he
showed himself the nah of the people and
sof the age-a manly man. an executive
officer who knew his duty and did it: who
understood the constitutionality of his
party and defended it. 1t is true the Offend
ers on that occasion were workingmen. and
the victims the capitalists, the so-called
oppressors of the people, but the writer
believes had their position been reversed
and the capitalists the marouders, bent
upon destroying the goods and property of
the laboring men. the President would have
been as quick and stern in his rebuke.
Why? Because in the broader branch of
the democratic party which he represents
are recognized the constitutional principles
of the rights of persons, of property, of
the will of the majority. and of obedience to
these principles. And the sending of troops
to put down the Chicago riots in the sum-
mer of 1894 will rank in history with the
call for troops by President Lincoln when
Sumter was fired upon, and give glory to
the name of Grover Cleveland.

The person who Shams sickness or a bod

OF those that indulge In it. remark able
case of such detection is related of a man
who claimed an injury while at work which
had caused him to lose the sight of his left
eye. The case was brought to trial. and
an eminent oculiSt proved him a perjurer
knowing that colOrS red and green make
black, the specialist introduced black
card on which there were a few words
written with green ink. The supposed one
eyed man was then directed to put on a
pair of spectacies with two different
glasses, the one for the left eye consisting
of ordinary glass. while the one for the
right eve being red. He was then handed
the card and told to read what was writ
ten on it. He did this without hesitation
and the cheat was exposed. The members
of the jury tried the glasses. and on COW
ering up the plain glass over the left eye
they could not read the writing, the green
ink and the red glass making the entire
card appear black. The man had read the
writing with his pretended sightless left
eye.
