CANTON, June 27.-"Tippecanoe and
the Old Coon. too" have been promi-
nent in today's doings at Canton. One
of the incidents was called up with a
flag which was a relic of the famous
Harrison campaign of 1910 and old vet
erans tonight say the scenes enacted here
vividly recall the stirring incidents Of
that memorable time.
Hourly trains brought thousands Of
Cleveland people to Canton over two
roads. Delegations came from Apollo,
Va, and other distant points until the
crowds on the streets tonight are va
riously estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000
people.
OF all Of the stirring days since the St
Louis convention mono have equaled the
enthusiasm witnessed in the ratification
here this afternoon and evening. It
was feared the prediction OF rain and
cloudy skies would prevent the gather
Ing Of the anticipated crowds, but to-
night with thousands of men in the line
Of march and with fireworks everywhere
and moro horns than have been blown
before in this town, the outcome of the
ratification inaugurated by the Tippe-
canoe club of Cleveland has been more
Of success than its most enthusiastic
projectors expected. The incoming del
egations were met at the trains by q
band Of uniformed horsemen and es-
corted to vacant block of ground. This
was centrally located and the whole
block as well as the streets for blocks
around were crowded with surging
throng in every direction during the
afternoon, while speaking was going on.
Each delegation had its band. The Tip
pecanoe club. which took such a prom
inent part in the st. Louis convention,
was most marked in its manifestations
and its glee club was conspicuous The
most significant feature of the occasion
was the predominating sentiment in all
the speeches and on nearly all the ban
ners which indicated the tariff was the
leading issue In the estimation Of the
assembled hosts, and while the party did
not propose to shift responsibility or
evade the currency question, 1t was not
intended IN the least to allow the tariff
issue to be overshadowed as the prin-
cipal one of the campaign Tonight Gov.
Mckinley reviewed the largest and most
enthusiastic parade that has yet been
witnessed. The citizens committee had
erected an elevated platform on his front
lawn for use on this occasion. The first
speaker today was Hon. Henry w. Har-
ter, prominent lawyer and brother of
the late Congressman M. D. Harter. He
presented Judge William r. Day, son
of the late Ohio supreme court judge,
vIlfhor nQV a G ohQi oF Mo- ri
square meeting.
Judge Day has always been a very
close friend and adviser Of Mr.. McKin-
ley.
When President H. W. Wolcott of the
sented by Judge Day, he was greeted
by the clubs YELL
The Tippecanoe Walcott Glee club had
found 1t impossible to get through the
great throng to the flag-decorated ros-
trum. and the "Depew" Of Ohio, Hon.
James H. Hoyt of Cleveland, was the
next speaker.
Hon. Charles Emory Smith OF the Phil |
adelphia Press. and ex-minister to Rus
sia, was not on the program, but Judge |
Day presented him as close friend and |
adviser Of the martyred Garfield and the |
late James G. Blaine, and it was a warm |
greeting he received
The next speaker was the present |
representative in congress from this, the
eighteenth district, Hon. William Tay-
Ior.
During this address committee was
sent to request Gov. McKinley's pres
ence. Congressman Taylor had con-
cluded his address. and the glee club
was singing, when a roar of applause
blocks away heralded the appearance of
the st. Louis nominee. When he ap-
peared before the sea Of faces that
greeted him. and he stepped to the front
OF the platform, the wild and long con-
tlnuous applause of the st. Louis con-
