A delegation from Fairfield township, Col
| umbiana county, called at the Mckinley
home, and we're addressed by the major as
follows:
CIT gives me very great pleasure to meet
my old friends of Fairfield township. Col
umbiana county Among my earliest poiiti-
cal recollections. | recall the village OF Col
umbiana. Among the earliest political
speeches | ever made was made IN your
town. / remember that In the twenty years
I was n representative In congress | always
had the encouragement and sympathy and
support of the good people of your town
ship. We are battling this year for the
same cause that we battled for during the
last twenty years. We have the same prin-
ciples TO contend for now as we had then.
The Republican party stands this year as
Ii has always stood-for the country and
the eountry's honor. 1t is opposed to Ia
tional dishonor and Reputation in what
ever form IL may come and from whatever
quarter 1t may come. 1t believes In good,
sound, honest dollars-dollars that you know
just what they are worth every day of the
week, and every week of the year; dollars
that are not only good in our own country.
but good wherever trade goes. The Repub-
lican party stands, too, this year, as 1t has
stood I'm the past, for an American protec-
tive system. a system that serves our own
people rather than the interests Of the alien
and the stranger who live beyond our
shores.
'It stands for a policy that gives TO Amer
lcanship the widest and broadcast opportu-
nifty to work at American wages, and to
the farmers OF the United States the best
home market that can be found nywherc
In the world. But, my fellow citizens. this
Is not my day to make a speech. There
are orators here who Will speak to you. and
| only come now that | may make suitable
recognition of this friendly caIl on the part
Of my old friends and constituents, who
have for so many years manifested their
devotion TO the Republican cause and TO me
personally"
During the brief speeches Mai. Mckinley
was repeatedly in~terrupted bv APPLAUSE. and
az the conclusion OF the greetings he was
given an ovation.
