troduced Major Mckinley in few words.
''My fellow-citizens of New York: 1t
gives me very great pleasure to meet and
greet you here at my home to-day" Ma
jor Mckinley responded. "It was most
generous on your part to have paused in
your journey to the East long enough to
give me the pleasure OF meeting you face
to face. What we have to do this year,
my fellow-citzens IS to keep close to the
people. Loud cheering. hearken 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, mas
terful principle which in all the years of
the past has given US plenty and prosper
ity.'
A few remarks by George E. Mathews of
of Buffalo, president of the league, closed
the speech making, and the mem bers
hastily took their departure and resumed
the journey homeward.
While the Major was at dinner COL
ored man from Youngstown named Cuney
sang a song, which he composed and wrote
for the cam paign, to their great entertain
ment.
Among the callers this evening was
Webb G. Hayes of Fremont, son of the late
ex-President.

window behind him, from which she
could see and hear all that occurred, was
the friend and neighbor of the excited and
enthusiastic throng, the center of interest
of whole nation, pale but outwardly
composed, save for a giistening OF the eye
that would not be repressed, listening
first to the cheers OF the assembled thou
sands and then to expressions OF regard,
respect, esteem and affection.
When quiet had been restored Con-
gresham r. W. Taylor of the Twelfth
District addressed the major. He said: :
1.-THE delegation which few days ago
left Canton with high hopes returns to
you with these hopes realized and with
the pleasing knowledge that as you are
honored and loved here, SO you are hon.
ored and loved wherever the American
flag floats. We know the same devotion
and loyalty, the same courage and con-
science, the same capacity and patriotism
which have distinguished you from the
beginning will characterize your labors
in the wider field to which the American
people will soon call you"
He was followed by Judge Baldwin of
Canton, and then by Judge Day, who, on
behalf of the ladies of Richmond, Ind,
where the delegates took breakfast this
morning and held the first Mckinley
meeting in that State, presented box of
roses to the major for his wife.

TELLER'S STRENGTH.
Skinner of North Carolina Says the
Democrats Could Win Under
His Banner.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June i9-The bolt
Senator Teller and his free-siiver associ-
ates yesterday has caused politicians all
over the country to calculate his strength
as the Presidential candidate OF the free
silver Republicans, Democrats and Popu-
lists The conclusions differ widely, but
that of Representative Skinner, Populist
of North Carolina, is entitled to as much
serious consideration as any. Mr.. Skinner
is an advocate of Mr.. feller's nomination
by the Democrats and Populists as their
candidate for the Presidency. He said:
''Mr. Tellers strength is so very great
and he is so conspicuously the man for
this emergency that it will almost amount
to crime if the opportunity is permitted
to pass unimproved. The Democrats,
however. must take the initiative, as they
meet before the Populists, but If they will
indorse him on free silver platform the
Populists will accept him and gave him
their full support at the polls. Mr.. Teller
would be much stronger candidate than
a free silver Democrat. He could poll
the silver strength of the three parties.
and would be at least seventy electoral
votes stronger than any Democratic BIZ
metallist in the country. A Democratic
bimetallist could, under favorable circum-
stance, hope to carry only these States;

DUBOIS AT THE HELM.
All Matters Relating to the 6oltlne
Movement Placed In HIS
Hands.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 19.-At meet
ing of the Withdrawing delegates held this
morning, at which the address 10 the

sued, it was ordered that until formal
organization should be perfected all

ment, so far as these delegates were con-
cerned, should be under the direction nf

men signing the address. Senator Dubois
will remain in the East for some time,
and will doubtless be at the Chicago con-
vention. The others, including Senator
Cannon of Utah, will start at once for the
West.

In this sudience to-day are representatives
from all of the counties which for years con-

these manifestations of friendship, your devo-

could not help but make good impression at
St. Louis, and Mahoning County, too, SO they
all sent their best men. l am surprised that
most OF them should have been nonored with
any title below Colonel" [laughter], and as
you seem to have brought back what you went
for, those whom you left behind want me to
say that they are glad to see you home again.

BLAND is THEIR CHOICE,
Arkansas Democrats Express
Preference for a Silver
Candidate.
Declare for Free Coinage and Oppose
Bond Issues in Times
of Peace.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, June 19.-The
Democratic State Convention was in ses-
sion until 2:15 this morning. The greater
part of the time was taken up in hot
fight over the question of expressing the
choice for Presidential candidate. The
resolution instructing the National dele
gates for Bland was vigorously opposed by
Senators Jones and Berry, but finally
adopted-420 to 327. The platform makes
no reference to the National adminlstra-
ton. The financial plank is as follows:
We favor bimetallism, and to that end we
insist upon the free and unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver at q ratio of Is to l as the
money of final redemption, with equal legal
tender powers, independent OF the action Of
any other nation.
We are opposed to the issue of interestbee
ing bonds for any purpose in time of peace.
We demand that the Government shall not
surrender, but shall always exercise its lawful
option to redeem its obligations either in gold
or silver, as may be most convenient.
We demand the repeal of the present laws
discrediting the silver money of the Nation
and legalizing private contracts payable in
gold alone. We are opposed to the National
banking system, and favor only the money of
the constitution, and we believe the power and
QuIy OF the GOVeTnIneHI 10 the ClTCu-
lsting medium should not be delegated to any
private corporation.
The delegates to the National Conven-
tion were chosen as follows: At large,
Senators Jones and Berry, Carroll, Arm
strong and J. T. w. Tillar; First District,
Charles Coffin, John B. Driver; Second
District, s. M. Taylor, ]. J. Sumpter;
Third District, Paul Jones, W. Kramsay
Fourth District, ]. G. Wallace, George A.
Mansfield; Fifth District. R. b. Davidson,
Phil D. Scott; Sixth District, j. w.

gers of His Campaign.
CHICAGO, ILL, June Ex-Governor
Horace Boies, who is the free-silver candi-
date of the Iowa Democracy for first place
on the Presidential ticket, arrived in Chi
cago this morning from his home in
Waterloo. He spent most of the day in
his room at the Palmer House attending
to private business, and disclaimed any
political mission, but his coming was pur-
posely timed so he could hold conference
relative to the promotion of his candidacy
from this center with Charles A Walsh of
Ottumwa, secretary of the State Central
Committee; Judge Van Wagner, who will
be the delegate at large in place of Mr..
Boies; S. A. Brewster of Creston; J. S.
Murphy OF Dubuque and S. P. Davis, who
is in charge of the Boies literary bureau of
the Iowa delegation to the National Con-
vention.
Secretary Walsh admitted to a United
Press reporter that the Governor came
here partly to confer with his campaign
managers and see that his literary bureau
was put in working order and arrange for
the formal opening of the Iowa head
quarters at the Palmer House on the LIST
of July, Secretary Walsh said his idea
was that the convention would name a
ticKet without regard to the free-silver Re-
publican bolt, and none of the delegates
would commit himself as to Teller being
on the ticket.

name Senator Teller as its standard
bearer. On this subject seemed to hinge
the whole weight of the coming statement
from the Populists.
1.-THE PopuIist party is perfectly neutral
on the tariff question: said Mr.. Taube-
neck. 1--WE will accept either high. or
low tariff, If the man or party merits our
votes on the silver question. That we con-
slider the main question before the country
to-day"
Others at the conference seemed anxious
TO know il the Democratic party was likely
to take up Teller. One OF the results OF
this conference will be an address to the
country which will shortly appear.
