Hampshire senate. Many mementoes
of the visit were brought for Mrs. Nc
Kinley from Boston, from New Bedford
and from historic Salem, including
whales teeth, twigs from tree planted
by Governor Endicott in 1862, and gold
witch spoon. The party remained in
Canton until o'clock and then went to
Cleveland, where stop of two hours
Niagara Falls for a short stop, the
schedule being to reach Boston at Z
o'clock Thursday evening.
No prettier sight has been witnessed
in the whole campaign than the recep-
ton of the Wowen's Mckinley club of
Norwalk, Ohio. This club of some 300
members. is splendidly organized and
drilled and when on parade carries cam
paign umbrellas on which portraits of
Mckinley and Hobart are conspicuous.
They were commanded by chief mar
shall, Mrs. A. r. Bloxham, and their evo-
lutions well may attract the envy Of
voting clubs. A reception committee Of
Canton ladies met the visitors at the
station and together with the Canton
troops of horsemen, escorted them to
the Mckinley home, where Mrs. Eddy
and Mrs. George X. Frease introduced
respectively Mrs. L. c. Laylin, who made
the Introductory address, and Mrs
George Titus, who presented a cluster
of yellow chrysanthemums to Mrs. Nc
Kinley. The latter, owing to illness,
could not receive the visitors. The ma
jor's mother and his sister, Miss Helen
Mckinley, however, were at the house
and extended most cordial welcome to
the callers. When Major Mckinley con-
cluded his address to the accompani-
ment Of the Norwalk band, the women
united in singing a campaign song to the
tune of Red, White and Blue waving
their umbrellas all the while, producing
most striking effect.
Then came a visit of four or five hun
carloads of insurance men from Cleve-
land. who were INTRODUCED to Major Nc.
Kinley by A. r. Manning.
Major Mckinley responded to the ad-
dress by Mrs. l.. c. Layton of Norwalk,
in behalf of the Ladies' Mckinley club
of Norwalk, Ohio:
1t gives me sincere pleasure to re-
ceive this visit from the women of Nor
walk. to Mrs. Mckinley and myself She
very deeply regrets that by reason of ILL
ness she is denied the pleasure and hon
or of receiving you personally, and bids
me. say that she appreciates most high
" the compliment and honor of this call
1t is a good omen when the women of
the country manifest an interest in pub
lie affairs. That they should have and
show a deep concern is not at all sur
prising or unnatural, for none can be
affected more than they. They profit
by good laws and suffer from bad laws
quite as much as men. Every interest
which they have is in favor of good
government, morals, clean politics and
wise legislation.
HOBART AT HOME.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Garrett A. Ho-
bart was given an enthusiastic welcome
tonight at Jersey City on his return
home. His party was escorted by the
Lafayette Light Guard of 200 men,
squad of mounted police, military
band, and a great crowd following to
the Oakland rink. where more than 5000
people had gathered. When Mr.. Hobart
and Governor Griggs made their ap.
pearance on the platform the enthusi-
asm knew no bounds. 1t was only after
sevral minutes that Mr.. Hobart was
able to speak. He said, in part:
1--WE have men with Us of the highest
character, whom you respect, whom we
respect, as Democrats, as men whom
we have been accustomed to fight all
cur political lives. ] rejoice with you
because the better part of the Demo-
cratic party is composed of men who
have patriotism enough to stand with
us and aid us in this campaign. They
are with us because of the assault upon
the courts, because they are in favor
Of honest money and law and order
not because they are Republicans, but
because they are liberty-loving, God
fearing citizens of our republic"
Governor Griggs also made brief
speech. The party. later in the evening.
were escorted to the reviewing stand
