nembers of r1ckinley Clubs of
Indiana the Visitors, to Whom the
Republican Nominee Delivers Three
Addresses.
CANTON. Sept 22-Three delegations
called on Major Mckinley to-day, and
he addressed them ALL Despite a driz-
zling rain that continued throughout
the morning, and a strong northwest
wind that blew cold during the after
noon, the enthusiasm that has char
acterzed these pilgrimages was un-
abated The Holmes County farmers
We're the first to arrive. Major Mckinley
spoke to them in part as follows:
six years ago free trade was to be
the cure for all our ills; free trade was
to be a panacea for all our troubles
Well, we have now for four years en-
joyed partial free trade in the United
States, especially in wool, and what eff
feet has it had upon the wool-growers OF
Holmes County and other wool growing
counties? You know better than l can
tell you Now it is free silver. Free sill
Yer is going to cure all our ills Naugh-
ter) Why, my fellow citizens, 1t don't
make any difference how free silver is
to be coined in the United States, you
will not get one dollar of it unless you
give something for it. If we had
mints in every State of the Union and in
every county, and the silver of the
world was brought to these mints as is
proposed by our political opponents, sill
yer would not be any easier for you to
get than it is now. ca voice, That S
right") And, beside, in this country we
do not propose to have a dishonest dol
lar. Great applause.) We propose to
have the best of everything that is go
ing. We've got the best country and
the best men, and we propose to con-
tinue to have the best money. Great
applause.)
There is another thing, my fellow
citizens, this year the people mean to
PUT at rest the question of their honesty,
which was never doubted either at home
or abroad until put in controrersy by
the allied parties in this contest / say
allied parties-the one a Democratic
party assuming an old name, the other
little older and falsely claiming to be
the Peoples party. 1t is to the credit
of the country that many of the time
hOnored leaders of one of the parties have
Indignantly repudiated those who have
assumed to question the public honor in
the name of Democracy. (Applause)
The people in November will repudiate
the other part of the combination for os-
suming the role of dishonor in their sa-
ored name. Applause.)
The people have no patience with
those who would violate the plghred
faith of the nation ana stamp its obli-
cations with dishonor. They will not
tolerate reputation of public order or
private dealing. They will not coun-
tenance the clipping of the coins of the
country, and they will never consent to
clipping the currency in any form il
may be proposed. (Applause) The con-
test should be settled this year that nc
party hereafter can alarm the business
world and shake public confidence by
attempting to scale our debts, either
public or private. Applause.)
DELEGATION FROM NEW YORK.
About 2 o'clock a delegation TO the
number of 1000 from Cataragus anC

to be a citizen of the first and creates

thing still to be a citizen of this might.
Nation. (Applause) Your call at an!
time would have been most welcome
but YOUR coming so far on such an in
clement day to testify your devotion t
Republican principles is indeed a sig
nifcant act.
.sYour farmers are quite as much in
terested in the proper settlement of tn
free silver tariff and reciprocity issue
in this campaign, which in importanc
dominate all others as the farmers Q
any other section of the country tn
ATTEMPT to nflame the passion OF tn
West and South against the East Is
therefore. but a mischievous and unpa
triotic effort to arouse prejudice an
hatred against men of their calling ar
fected by the same causes ana 1eeHh
the same business depression as thos
which disturb and harass the whoi
country. (Applause)
Il have no sympathy. my felioW-cit
izens. with a cause based upon hate an
passion. 1t is beneath the aims an
purposes of patriotic freemen, ana al
glad to note that il receives no encoui
agement from the sturdy citizens 9
New York. Applause) How strikingi
the names of the illustrious Hamlito
and the Empire state of New YORK ar
inseparably connected. we cafiho
think of the great events OF our hls'or
without associating them together' an
we cannot recall any example OF IKE ia
ture so conspicuous. unless " pc the ~
separable association of Washlngtp
and Jefferson with Virginia, ana Lin
coin with Illinois. (Applause) NO ma
of his time left a more lasting lmpres
sion on public legislation than the EN-
nent leader in New York, Aiexanue
Hamilton. who more than anyone els
secured her ratification of the Unite
states Constitution, and TO wnom
are more largely indebted than 70 an
