MAINE HEARD FROM.

Congressman Boutelle Speaks for thu
State of Blaine and Reed.
One of the distinguished visitors of tho
day was Congressman Bontelle of Maine
who was introduced to one of the visit
ing delegations by Mr.. Mckinley. with
such happy words that he could not es-
cape participating in the speech-makine
which Gov. Mckinley was expected to
alone perform. At the close of one Of
! the addresses Mr.. Mckinley, turning t.
Mr.: Boutelle. who stood near him, said:
we have present with us Gen. Bou-
telle of Maine, and while the delegation,
is marching up the hill (another deleqa-
ton was then approaching) I am s,5re,
YOU will be glad to hear voice from
the state of Blaine that has Just given
us nearly $4,000 majority" Applause
and cheers.)
Mr.. Boutelle said: --
1.-THE governor has taken a slight adj.
vantage over me in bringing me before
you, but desire to say to you that there
is no Republican in the state Of Maine
who would not deem it an honor and q
privilege to stand here, at the residence
of William Mckinley Of Ohio and thank
you for the splendid manifestations of
loyalty which you have exhibited here.
We have got through with our little
piece Of work in Maine; we have set the
mark, $4,000 high. for the other states
of the American Union to 20 by. We
want to see Ohio more than double it,
We want to see Indiana come up with
10000, and we are going to see. my
friends, on the Sd day Of November de-
feat of free trade, free silver, and repu-
diation more disastrous than has ever
before overtaken demagogism in this
country, and now, gentlemen, propose
three hearty cheers for the next Presi-
dent of the United States" (They were
given with vim.) -,

VETERANS FROM MARYLAND.

Major Mckinley Delivers to Them an
Unusually Earnest Address.
y The Maryland q. a. r. club, one of
the delegations of the day, was honored
with one of the most earnest addresses
Maj. Mckinley has yet delivered. In
response to Gen. Theodore F. Lang, who
spoke for the Maryland visitors, Maj.
Mckinley said
The spectacle which we witness in
canton today; is most encouraging and
inspiring. There are delegations here
from New York, Pennsylvania. Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Mary

Concluding his preceding address to
the miners. Maj. Mckinley had to but
face about to find patiently awaiting an
audience of some 300 steel workers, em-
ployed by the Otis Steel company of
sby Otto Grabien. and Maj, Mckinley
responded briefly, saying:
& II am ehonored by this visit and en-
couraged by it because know that you
bring to me assurances Of3l0yalty@ to the
great principles Of the Republican party
and Of your untiring zeal to make these
principles victorious on the I'D day of
November. This audience fairly repre-
sents the conditions with which the bust

men on this side use coal in their mills,
and because you so use it the others

it there would be no demand for the
miner.
Il use this illustration to show you how
dependent we are upon each other; how
every thread of business is interviewer
with every other thread Of business, and
when you snap one thread you injure ALL
When the employer does not find it prof
table to manufacture he ceases to do so
and when he does not manufacture you
do not have employment. When he finds
it profitable to manufacture you have
steady employment at fair wages. Now,
what we want to do in this country is
to favor whatever policy will encourage
American industry and promote Ameri-
can manufactures. That which will
build more factories and give more en-
ployment to workingmen should be the
true, genuine and universally accepted
American policy.
II am one of those who believe that
we should look after our own people be-
fore we look after the people of other
lands, who owe no allegiance to the gov
eminent of the United States I believe
the right policy is the one which pro-
tects the American workshop by putting
tariff upon the products of the foreign
workshop. NY fellow citizens, do not
believe that we ought to have a tariff
policy that will let the products of cheap
er lands and of unpaid labor come into
this country and destroy our manufac-
tories and impoverish and degrade our
labor. The protective policy is my pol
icy. 1t is the, doctrine I have always
believed in. and make no apology to

and if on the Sd day of November the

MINERS OF ANTHRACITE COAL.

Three Hundred Workingmen from the
Pennsylvania Coal District.
The little reviewing stand was brought
into requisition at this point, when the
crowd had become 50 dense that the
porch could no longer be used, and Mai.
| Mckinley faced some 300 miners from
the anthracite district of Pennsylvania,
who were introduced by Prof w. p.
Gregory. Maj. Mckinley responded as
follows:
"You have all found in your own
lives that if you get anything that is val
liable you have to work for it, You
nave found in your own experience that
there IS no way to earn living or ac-
cumulate property except by labor and

savings, and knowing that all that you
you can best use what you have-your

word, all you want is an opportunity
to work, and when that opportunity is
furnished YOU you will perform the la

you must not be looking to-, the minis
for the money which you need. You
must look to the mines, to the mills and
the factories. Great applause) You do
not mine coal unless somebody wants to
use. that coal, and the more users of
coal there are. the more miners there
will be and the better will be their en-
ployment and their wages. (Cries of

Nov, that is the whole philosophy of
this business. (Applause.) When you
have an opportunity to work you want
to be paid in dollars that are as good

1000 COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.
Three Great States Send Their Travelling
Statesmen.
The second body Of visitors was made
up of commercial travellers from New
York, Ohio and Indiana, and to their
tumultuous greeting Maj. Mckinley re-
sponded by saying:
Nobody knows sooner than the COM
mercial traveller whether times are good
or bad. No class of men so registers the
waves of business as the men who stand
before me here today. You are interest
ed in your occupations and in having
prosperity extend from one end of the
country to the other. You are interested
IN having all of our workshops running;
all our mines in operation, and all our
workingmen constantly and profitably
employed. You are, therefore. this year
in the triumph of the political principles
which envelop the well-being and high
est prosperity of the American people.
You know better than anybody else
that you cannot sell your goods to your
customers unless your customers can sell
goods to the people. You know that the
people cannot buy unless they have some
thing to do at which they can earn mon
ey., that they may buy them. That's
what is the matter with the country to-
day. That's the diagnosis of our condi-
ton at this hour. Business has been
stopped; the wheels of industry are not
runnlng; idle men are on the streets
Many OF the manufacturing establish
nents are closed and you are not doing

RIVAL ARIZONA DELEGATIONS
Two Republican Conventions Send
Men to st. Louis.

Phoenix. Ari. April 3O.-rhe Stoddard-
Chrsty wing of the territorial republican
convention prolonged its session until an
early hour this morning, being mainly
engrossed in consideration OF the plat
form. The platform compliments Nc
Kinley, but the delegates were not in
structed. The platform favors high pro-
lection, and especially denounces the
wool and cattle schedules of the Wilson
tariff bill and denounces the effort of
Utah to wrest from Arizona a part of her
domain. The money plank Is as follows:
THAT 1t is the belief of this convention
that the people of Arizona, without re-
gard to party, are in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at "A ratio Of
not less than Is to L. and the delegates
elected by this convention to st. Louis
re hereby instructed to use all honorable
means to secure the adoption of the free
silver plank in the national republican
platform"
The Mckinley wing, which claims that
an adjournment was taken until today,
continued in session, claiming to be the
regular organization. New officers were
selected and new set of delegates to st.
Louis We're chosen this afternoon. They
were instructed for Mckinley.
