where there Is almost continuous speak
Ing. The weather is delightful. Mr.. Nc
Klnley did a great deal OF handshaklng
during the day, but, as on previous Sat
urdays since the pilgrimage began, the
crowds soon became too large for this.
Hon. Charles Emery Smith OF Philadel-
phia spent some time on the stand and In
his study with Mckinley today.

WIS.,
Glad to Meet Old Friends.
Major Mckinley responded as follows:
Ny Fellow Citizens: 1t was generous
on your part to come and see me, inas-
much as am not doing this year what
formerly did, In going about to see you
am glad to meet my old friends OF Au-
glaze, Allen and Henry counties. before
whom 1 have stood many times, speaking
for the cause, for the same glorious cause
for which our party stands this year. The
difference between the contest now and
former contests is that we can count on
our side hundreds, thousands and even
hundreds Of thousands OF good old-fasn-
Toned democrats. who are with us In the
night to maintain public order ami the
financial Integrity of the United States.
(Applause.) We are glad to have them In
association with us. Patriotism is never
partisan; 1t is above that plane.
One thing has never been said and
never Will be said OF the government of
the United States, and that Is that 1t .s
government OF reputation. We have al
ways paid every dollar OF our public OBJ
legations, whether contracted In peace or
war, In the highest and best form OF mon
~ known to the civilized world We
nsver stopped to inquire what the letter
Of the contract might be. We only knew
government meant that 1t must be paid
In 1o0-cent dollars at the time 1t came tue
We do not propose TO commence now, af-
ter 120 years of glorious history, OF slori-
Gus life and glorious achievements, to re-
pudiate our obligations, public or private
(Cheers.)
No Other Financial Standard.
we do not propose to attempt to ever
DO business with a dollar 1 cent short OF
100 cents. We do not propose to ac,ept
our financial standard from either Mexico
or China We propose to run our finances
exactly as we have always run them. with
the fairness and absolute integrity on the
part of the government and people. and
We propose another thing, and II the peo-
pie are with us we shall realize 1t. We
propose to protect ourselves against the
products OF the old world. to uphold cur
own factories, rather than build I'D fac
tories for any other nation on the face of
the globe.
The American workshop. the American
farm. the American factory and the
American people, OF whatever occupation
or calling, are our chief concern, and we
must see to 1t that there is no idle nan
in America. and that mono OF our work is
done In Europe SO long as there Is a man
policy of honesty, OF patriotism and CT
intense Americanism that our grand cid
party steadfastly maintains
II am glad to meet you and to greet
you: 1 am glad to know that this year.
~ In the past. the republicans OF your
county are enrolled in the ranks, and the
sound democrats from every walk and
calling In life are with you. We welcome
them as valuable allies In this great con-
test for good money and the supremacy
OF the law. / am pleased that you have
made this call and bid you hearty vol
come, but as another delegation Is walt |
ing TO see me. must bid you good after |
noon" Continued cheers)

territory. Pennsylvania. They arrived |

In MS speech 10 the pennsylvania dele
cation Mckinley said that the democratic
party can hardly expect us to have con-
ndencc in their present prescription. wnsn
the prescription they gave us In 1892 !
which they insisted was a cure for all cur
troubles. was SO complete a failure.
