The marching Of the fcrty-fve young
women, representing the forty-f1ve
states of the union, each carrying a
large basket of roses, was really one
Of the most unique features yet intro
duced in the campaign. The baskets
were taken from the women as they
approached Mrs. Mckinley and ar
ranged on a pyramidal platform Of
large proportions, and there allowed to
remain all day and to be admired by
thousands of Cantonfans This even
ing the baskets were taken to Aultmal
hospital and to private homes where
sickness prevails.
Gen. Bottsford and wife, of Youngs-
town, who have been guests at the

home this evening. Gen Grosvenor. of
Athens, Ohio, called ON Maj. Mckinley
this evening.
The first Pennsylvania delegation to
arrive was from West Newton. The
visitors brought with them bands of
music and drum corps. The spokes-
man for the first section was Mr. Van
dyke. To his words, Maj. Mckinley
responded as follows:

have to come in sections. daughter and

great satisfaction; Remember the senly

found your city one Of the most active and
most prosperous in the whole country l
regret to hear from your spokesman that all
that has changed. and where plenty and
prosperity presided want and despair now alt
And that naturally leads TO the inquiry what

we had four years ago: we have the same
splendid resources, the same farms the same
Factories, the same mines, the same sturdy
