ing in the aggregate about 5000 per-
Sons.
The delegations were, in the main,
composed Of laboring men, and the
spokesman in most cases took occasion
to assure Major Mckinley that the
men came Of their own free will, paid
their own fares and in some cases lost
half a days wages. The delegations
arrived so rapidly this afternoon that
Major Mckinley could not take time
to shake hands with his callers, and
he is d good deal less fatigued tonight
than he would have been had ne
grasped the hands Of several thousand
persons.
Next week will be an active one.
There are two or more delegations
scheduled for every day except Sun
day, when there will be fifteen.

number, left home at = o'clock Friday
