CANTON, O., June Ex-Governor Nc
Kinley made two addresses at his Canton
home last night. The day was an event
full one. The wild enthusiasm of Thurs
day has increased, each incoming delega-
ton being greeted by steam calliopes and
scrpeching whistles of every kind, while
trumpets, tin horns, bandsand drum corps
galore give music to the merry marchers.
Delegations called last night in rapid sue
cession, but the governor shows no sign
of wear or relapse after the strain of con
vention week. After shaking hands with
several hundred visitors from CoshOctOn,
Cuyahoga Falls and other points he took
his customary drive short time before
| lunch
During the day the news spread rapidly
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 last
evening. 1t was shortly after 6 o'clock,
! just before the governors dinner hour,
when shrieldng whistles of locomotives
| heralded the approach of the New Workers
and returning Cantonians, as well as a
special train load of 500 people from the
Mahoning valley, where Governor McKin-
ley spent his boyhood days.
drum corps, including fifty horsemcn, met
the delegations at the stations. The streets
were densely crowded for blocks in every
direction leading to the governors home.
The crowds crushed through the fences
and crowded into the doorways of the
house in their excitement 1t was neces-
sary for the governor to go to the side door
to meet his returning fellow citizens, as
it was impossible for him to reach the
front veranda where he had been speak
ing. Congressman r. w. Taylor, of the
Eighteenth, McKinley's old district,
mounted box when Governor Mckin-
ley appeared and said:
Governor Mckinley, while We have not
the good fortune to be the first to con-
gratulate you in person upon the honor
which the Republican party has bestowed
upon you, we rejoice to know that we are
from the vanguard Of the returning hosts
that yesterday witnessed that splendid
demonstration whereby you were nOmi-
mated for the presidency. The re'Ollec-
ton of that scene can never he ettaced
from our memory. There we saw the Re
publican party place you in nomination,
and while it honOred you, it hOnOred itself
and gave permanent expression to the
wish and desire that have been in the
]
months. You are first in the hearts of
your countrymen not because you are a
presidential nominee but you are a presi-
Dental nominee because you are first i'm
the hearts of your countrymen.
Congressman Taylor was followed by
Judge George f. Baldwin, on behalf of
Stark county and Judge William r.
Day, who brought with him from Rich
mond, Ind, a large box of beautiful flow
ers sent to Mrs. Mckinley as a souvenir
from the ladies of that city.
Governor Mckinley made a brief speech
in response BY this time the New York
party had succeeded in forcing its way to
the front piazza, led by John e. Millhol-
land 1t took some time for Governor Nc
Kinley to get through the house and
through the crowd in the hall to greet his
eastern visitors. Mr.. Millholland mounted
a chair and presented ex-senator Warner
| Miller, who said;
'Lades and Genties en-: l thought it
proper on our way hOh,A from the st. Louis
convention to call here and pay our re-
spects to the man who has been honored
by the Republican party, and who is our
fellow citizen and neighbor. 1t has been
my privilege to know Governor Mckinley
for nearly twenty years, and it gives me
the Republicans Of the state of New York
that we shah give to him and TO the prin-
ciples which he represents the largest ma
iority i'm November that has ever been
given to any presidential candidate since
the organization Of the government. l
came here simply to take the hand Of
Governor Mckinley and TO assure him Of
the affection and love of the people Of New
York. And now, gentlemen Of the Nc
Kinley League of the state of New York,
il gives me great pleasure to introduce
to you Governor Mckinley"
The New Workers We're even more en-
thusiastic Gn the Ohioans in the greet
ing they gave Governor Mckinley, who
responded to their oyations saying:
''My Fellow Ciuzens Of New York: 1t
gives me very great pleasure to meet and
greet you here at my home, 1t was most
gracious ON your part to have paused i'm
your journey to the east long enough to
give me the pleasure of meeting you face
TO face. And nothing could have been
more agreeable TO me than to be presented
TO the members of the Mckinley League
of the state of New York by my old friend
long member Of the house of representa-
tives at ashington-Sanator Miller.
IL was glad TO meet and to greet him.
All we have to do this year, my fellow
citizens, is to keep close TO the people
Harken to the voice of the people have
faith in the people, and if we do that the
people will win for us triumph for that
great masterful principle which, in all the
years Of the past, has given Us plenty and
prosperity"
The New Workers gave another round of
applause and departed for their train
