YOUNGSTOWN, o., Aug. 22--Three spe-
cial trains passed through the city over
| the Pittsburg and Western road on
their way to Canton. They contained
Mckinley enthusiasts from New Castle
and Lawrence counties. The first train
had fat car which carried a callioOa
and a cannon. The second train had
seven coaches and the third three. All
the coaches were filed.

farmers, mac,linists and other citizens

of Lawrence county. Pennsylvania,
started for Canton this morning in spe-
cial trains over the Baltimore and Ohio
TO call on Major Mckinley. They
/ reached Canton shortly after noon.
| Along their long journey they had
many recruits. When they had paraded
/ to the Mckinley home 5000 people
crowded over the bare lawn and surged
! into the street around about. And when
| it rained while the bands played and
/ thousands Of enthusiastic voices cheer
! ed and cannons doomed and steam cal
Hopes lent their noise to the medley OF
/ the crowd. The people stood through
/ the rain for an hour. They waved their
| banners and beat their tin helmets.
| They carried the inscriptions: I'VE
want back the good old Mckinley
| times" I'VE want our furnaces and fac

/ mines" Honest money and a chance
I to earn it,
THE PRESENTATION.
The Presentation was made by ex-
| Congressman Oscar L. Jackson, who
said:
Most Of our people are as familiar
with your public career as are those Of
your own district, and we are proud of
our right to call you neighbor ans well as
| fellow citizen OF this great country.
Your nomination was not obtained by
self-seeking, neither was it the result of
accident or thei impulse of the moment.
/ For years no other citizen was SO we'll
| known. and none so often mentioned
| throughout the land as a suitable candi-
\ date for that great Office. So certainly
had public sentiment designated you as
the fit man for the place, that the con-
vention seemed to met only for the pur-

delegation represents all classes Of citi-
cents Of our country-farmers, mer-
chants, students, professional men and
the work1nen from ines, mills and fac
tories. But We are one in sentiment
and are here to honor you as the most
distinguished friend of the American
| system Of protection. We know that
! this system benefits all classes equally
and we have enjoyed d fair share of the
prosperity that attends It. Under * our
country has been developed. Wealth
has been accumulated and the wages
paid.
at win not admit Of doubt that large
| majority are now in favor of protection.
| That is the real question TO be solved
| this year and we want to do our part to
keep this before the people. We con-
slider the much-talked Of silver question
a false Issue raised by designing men
for selfish purposes. Republicans are
not asking for any change in this respect
! For many years we have had good mon

claim in all that is best, to occupy a
leading place among the great nations
/ Of the world. Undoubtedly, then, We
! should have money that is recognized
| the best the world over. We are not the

/ poor money and when that question
does come up, we want all web ave- to
| be good. equal to the best"
When Major Mckinley mounted a
chair on his stoop TO respond to the
sentiments Of Colonel Jackson, calliopes,
cannon and myriads Of human voices
repeated their first ovation.
As soon as he could make himself
heard Major Mckinley responded TO
Colonel Jacksori's address, as follows:
MKINLEY'S RESPONSE.
| "I am glad 10 meet my distinguished
| friend, Colonel Jockson, with whom
served in the congress OF the United
| States, and to again hear his eloquent
voice, as I have often heard it in the
| halls Of the national house, speaking for
| the great doctrines Of the Republican
party, doctrines the success of which in
volve the highest prosperity and well
fare of the American people. (Cheers.)
| It gives me great pleasure TO welcome
the citizens Of neighboring state to my
| city and to my home. / note with great
satisfaction the message which your
eloquent spokesman brings 70 ne. that
| the people OF Pennsylvania have lost
none OF their devotion to the great prin-
ciples OF the Republican party and that
this year they viii give to the Republi-
can ticket an unrivaled Republican ma
| jority Cries Of I'VE will do that all
right'o
Nor am surprised, my fellow citi-
zens. that this is so. We have had three
| years Of bitter experience under a policy
which the Republican party has always
opposed: and there has been nothing in
| that experience to win US to that policy.
| but everything to increase our devo-
ton to the old policy Of protection.

people want, and mean to have q
