COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS

Large Delegations from Ohio and Other
States Greet Maj. Mckinley.
Another large and interesting delega-
ton was made up of commercial travel
ers, mostly from Ohio and adjoining
states. They were addressed by Mr..
Mckinley as follows:
"You have discovered in the last four
years that it is a good deal safer to con-
suit markets than maXims. You have
discovered that prices current and actual

DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS.

Citizens of Kentucky Join in Support of
Mckinley and Honest Money.
A large delegation from Kentucky,
composed of both Republicans and sound
money Democrats, was one of the most
demonstrative in honoring the Repub-
lican candidate. To them Mr.. Mckinley
said:
II address you not as Republicans nor
Democrats, but as 'countrymen and
friends. Ycur glorious old state has al
ready registered a verdict in favor of
one of the principal issues involved in
this campaign. l do not believe that in
people have changed their opinions on
the questions of honest money and public
honor. Great applause and cries of No,
nu.) Kentucky has usually been Dem
ocratic state, and in 1876 gave that
sturdy Democratic statesman, Samuel
J. Tilden of New York, an unprecedent-
ed popular majority for President. His
memory is doubtless revered by many of
your Democrats today, and venture to
send by you this message to them in Mr.
Tilden's own words.
I'm his celebrated joint debate With
Horace Greeley, in 1910, Mr. Tilden said:
An unstable currency produces instabil-
ity of prices and is peculiarly injuriens
to the farmer He ought not to be sub
yect to the tremendous agency of an un-
seen cause, which may disappoint his
wisest calculations and overwheirn him
cured in the tranquility Of his ireside
flicting currency. (Great appiause.1

then; they are true and honest words
now, and commend themselves to the
