the Ticket.
New York, Sept. 20. - A dispatch to
the World from Bath, Me-, says: MI.
Sewall, the candidate for vice prcsi-
dent, to-day answered the cry for his
retirement from the free silver ticket:
/ There is absolutely nothing in this
talk about my withdrawal. The thing
is absurd. shall not retire under any
circumstances. AS for the statement
that Senator German or any Of the
Democratic managers desire me to re-
tire, or that the Uarty lenders are bring
ing influence to bear on me for that
purpose, it is pure falsehood. On the
contrary, all the pressure on me has
been the other way"
"Dut, Mr.. Sewall, you must see that
in, fusions between the Democrats and
Populists in SO many states there is a
prospect that even should Mr.. Bryan
be elected there would be enough Pop
ulists in the electoral college to throw
the choice Of the vice president into
the senate"
II know it," he answered slowly.
II clearly see that Mr.. Bryan may be
elected and that may not be. But l
am thinking more Of free silver than
Sewall. A change in the ticket now
is out Of the question"

An InQuisitive Hunter Sttrs Up the
Wrong Kind of Game.
San Francisco, Sept 2O.-The curl
osity of Ralph Hamlin, n bridge tend
er and amateur naturalist, occasioned
him strange experience on the Ala
media marshes at daybreak. AS he
emerged from his house at the Bay
fargt island bridge he noticed a sort of
blue haze hanging over the marsh
south of the island, which appeared to
be rising and falling. Armed with a
shotgun, he proceeded to investigate
the phenomenon, and much to his sur
prise and delight found that the wav-
ing blue line was an immense flock of
cranes, most Of which were dancing
with outstretched wings and fencing
with their bills. His curiosity overcame
his discretion. Hamlin drew closer to
the birds, but, being attacked by two
OF the largest, was compelled to use
his gun in self-defeEse Immediately
after having discharged his weapon he
regretted his hasty action, for the
whole flock rose as one bird and cir
cling around him made a concerted at
tack upon him. After clubbing his as
sailants with the butt Of his gun with
out apparent effect, he made a dash
for his hut, which he finally reached
without further injury than a few
painful jabs from the spear-like bills
of his pursuers, who lowered around
for some time after he had escaped
from their fury.

ABIG DEMONSTRATION AT THE HOME
CITY OF MAI, M'KINLEY.
People From Ohio and Adjoining
States Participate In u Parade
Headed by Mai. Mckinley and
Prominent ivsitors-speeches Are
Made by Senators Thurston nnd
Cullom, Gov. Hastings and Con
gres.man McCleary.

Canton, Ohio, Sept. 20.-Canton was,
up early this morning and robed in
raiment gorgeous and elaborate. The
formal opening of the campaign in
the home city of the Republican nomi-
nee was the occasion of all the hustle
and hurry. Streets are strung with
streamers and banners and flags:
arches with welcoming notices span
prominent thoroughferes and buildings
public and private-are draped with
flags and bunting. Many shops and
factories closed the entire day. Some
business houses opened only for few
hours of early morning trade. Others
closed at noon. Offices in general did
not open and the banks suspended bus
mess for the day at luncheon hour
So far as Canton is concerned it is
largely nonpartisan demonstration,
people of all parties uniting in decora-
tions and in giving the day over to the
celebration. Bright and early there
came from Little Sandy township a
club of 200 uniformed men, and nearly
the whole population of the township.
At the square they met similar parties
from other directions in the county.
Then came 400 farmers from Carroll
county. By this time the special
trains, of which more than fifty are
scheduled, began to arrive and the
delegations from outside the county
poured in almost faster than they
could be counted. The notable uni
formed delegations present are the
Young Mems Tariff Club and the
Americas Clab Of Pittsburg, the Elk
ms Cadets of wheeling, the Tippeca-
T1,1h of
Clubs Of Toledo ana Detroit, who left
their train at suburban station and
rode into town in parade order.
AT noon the parade moved in four
divisions of footmen. and with large
contingent of wheelmen and horse
men. Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
other states formed the first division;
Ohio, outside of Stark county, the
second; Stark county, outside Of Can
ton, the third, and Canton the fourth.
Each Of the notable delegations was
assigned a position Of honor. Maj.
Mckinley, the visiting speakers, the
officers of the day and guests OF hon
or rode in open carriages at the head
of the parade and a short line of march
brought the parade to monster tent
with accommodations for 10000 peo-
pie. Here the first meeting was held,
Gov. Bushnell presiding and making a
short Introductory address. There was
music by the combined bands and
campaign songs by the Pittsburg Tar
iff League quartet and the Aeolian
quartet. Addresses were made by
Senators Shelby M. Cullom OF Illinois
and Thurston of Nebraska
Later in the day another parade was
made and another meeting held in the
tent. Gov. Hastings of Pennsylvania
and Congressman McC1eary of Mime
sofa We're the speakers.

A portion of the Williamsport rolling
mill was blown down and every Win
dow on the north and west sides of
the big Central avenue school building
was broken and fruit trees in the
Blake Hole valley We're stripped of
fruit. The country surrounding Read
