opportunity, proposed three cheers for
the old flag in the following words:
My fellow citizens, I propose, mas
much as this is flag day, in honor Of
the gold standard, which we love so
much, we give three rousing cheers for
it and what it represents in our ma

The people paused, the crush was
stayed and with great vehemence the
cheers were given. The crowd moved
away and Maj. Mckinley passed quick

most timely, and doubtless averted
serious injury to many in the crowd.
Senator J. B. Foraker emphasized the

platform this afternoon. The crowds
assembled today about the Mckinley
