one. The wild enthusiasm Of yester-
day has increased, each incoming del

that the New York Mckinley League
would stop at Canton on its way
home from st. Louis and that the
special convention party from Canton
would come home this evening. 1t was
shortly after six o'clock, just before

we rejoice to know that we are the
vanguard Of the returning hosts that
yesterday witnessed that splendid
demonstration whereby you were nom
mated for the presidency. The recollec-
tion of that scene can never be effaced
from our memory There we saw the
Republican party place you in nomin-

honored itself and gave permanent ~ex-
preston to the wish and desire that
have been in the hearts of the Ameri-
can people for many months. Pro-
longed cheering)
