not from one party alone, but from all
parties, with an earnestness and unan-
unity creditable to our patriotism and
splendid testimonial to the strength
and glory of our free institutions.
My fellow citizens, have always be-
lieved in the people, but / am stronger
to-day in my faith in the American
people than Il have ever been before
(Cheering.) They have been true IN
every crisis of the past; they have uni
formly been on the right side in every
emergency, and never failed to sus-
tain the country and those public poll
cies which insured it's peace and highest
welfare. The great heart of the Amer
ican people is moved by the simple
consideration Of what is best, Wlsest
and most beneficial to the nation. In
the discharge of every public trust to
which 1 have been called-whether as
Representative in Congress or Governor
of Ohio-I have always found that an
honest and open, frank and just appeal
to the people never failed to receive
warm and true response. Great ap-
plause) 1t is mistake to imagine
that the great body of our people are
not the conservative force of the coun-
try"
More than 1000 first voters of Cleve-
land, in uniform and accompanied by
excellent bands, marched up While Ma
jor Mckinley was addressing his Penn
sylvania visitors. When he had nm
ished the Cleveland men passed IN re-
view before him and We're loudly
cheered by the other visitors to Canton
who remained to see them. The CleVe-
land delegation filed into Major Mchln-
ley's yard and packed it densely. The
Majors appearance on the porch drew
forth tornado Of applause, which IN
volume, intensity and duration has not
been equaled here. The President OF
the First Voters Mckinley Club OF
Cleveland, Otho Snyder introduced the
callers to Major Mckinley, who spoke
to them as follows:
Il congratulate you upon having
reached your majority. l congratulate
you upon having entered into the full
possession of sovereignty in the DeSt
Government in the world. Having been
born in the '10's, you have enjoyed the
most marvellous advantages OF the nine
teenth century. You have escaped the
extreme bitterness of old party d1-
visions and the passions of a fratrlcldal
war. You carry none of the scars OF
past party conflicts. You will hnd,
as you come to your sovereignty,
reunited country under the old flag,
blessed in all its natural resources be-
ycnd any other country, and suffering
orly because of the unwise policies al
ready inaugurated and the dangerous
policies vet threatened You approach
the exercise of your sovereignty, there
fore under the most advantageous cir
cumstances, free from any past predi-
lections, and prepared in calm Judgment
to consider without bias the issues upon
which parties are divided
1.-The ballot of the young man, as well
as that of the old man, the ballot of
the first voter, as well as that OF all
voters, should always express the voice
of truth and conscience. 1t should rep
resent the calm and unbiased judgment
of the voter. 1t should embody the
highest welfare of himself, his home,
his community and his country. 1t
should never be false to his convictions
or opposed to justice and honor either
| III public or in private concern. 1t
should express on it's face his best hopes
| and highest aspirations as an individual
citizen, and always represent the great
| est good to his fellow w-countrymen.
May your votes, young gentlemen,
be always given to preserve our unity.
our honor, our flag, our currency and
our country, and to save your blessed
! il heritance always from laWlesSneSs,
| dishonesty and violation. May your
| votes always be given for policy that
| shall give to US the widest development
| in our unmatched resources; the widest
| incentive to the invention, skill and
&c MUS of our citizens; the largest re-
wards to American labor and the high
est welfare of the people and promote
| the best ideals in Americanship."
/ Addressing the LoganspOrt 1nd) del
egation Major Mckinley said:
Your presence is most gratifying
| to me. 1t means that you have deep
concern for the welfare of your country,
and that you believe that your welfare
will be best subserved by a Republican
| triumph on the Sd day of November
II the financial plan advocated by our
allied opponents be practical and sound,
/ then the trainers of our Constitution
! idled away very much time and wasted
very much effort in providing plan
| for raising money to conduct the Gov
| crnment If this new departure, So
| called, be in any sense practicable, then
we do not need any tariff laws in this
country, any tax laws, any custom
| houses or any tax collectors anywhere
| because if we can make money out OF
anything by the mere breath OF Con-
| gress. then it is idle to impose taxes
upon the people to bear the burden and
| expense of conducting the Government
If the mere fat whether it be fiat to tht
| extent of 80 cents or to the extent OF
a hundred cents; If the Government by
a mere Act of Congress can make mon
ey, then all the work of Washington
and Jefferson, Hamilton and Clay. and
! all of the financiers and statesmen OF
! this country was mere idleness and
! folly But their work was not idle OF
! foolish The Government of the United
States cannot create something out OF
nothing. Great applause) And the
| man or the party that teaches thai
doctrine teaches a false doctrine.
After reviewing the tariff he con-
| cluded: There never was Repub-
lican purpose that did not seek the
honor and integrity of the United
States There is one thing our old party
never did-it never struck a blow except
for human freedom" (Great applause,
