AiOhSS uldue d pilgrimage to Canton
today, to shake hands with MCKINLEY
to listen to his discussion on the issues
and to promise him personally their
support. From $50 a. m. till tonight
the streets rang to the music of the
brass bands and echoed to the tread of
marching feet.
Five delegations called on Major Nc
Kinley, and some of the most import
ant that have visited him were among
the number. The reception of the Chi
cago Democratic club, was a notable
one. The club came one thousand
strong, and the reception given it has
not been exceeded in enthusiasm since
the opening of the campaign. The
streets about the Mckinley residence
were filled with people, who chaered
and applauded vigorously; and no dele
cation of lifelong Republicans was
ever more Demonstrative than these
Chicago Democratic commercial men in
their
GREETINGS TO MAJOR M'KINLEY.
When the candidate appeared ON the
porch he was greeted with an outburst
of cheering and applause which con-
tinued several minutes. When the ap-
plause had subsidized, Mr.. Hoffstadt, the
spokesman, turning to Major AIcKin-
ley, said:
In behalf of the Commercial Demo-
cratic club Of Chicago, comprising only
men who have always voted the Demo-
cratic ticket, and representing every
branch Of mercantile interest of our
city, l extend 10 you our most cordial
geeting, and pledge 80 you our earnest
and hearty support. While giving you
our support in this campaign, the great
majority of our club still believe in the
vital principles Of the real Democratic
party as enunciated by Jefferson, Jack
son and Cleveland, and while we may
still differ with you in number of
minor policies of government, these
principles which we have advocated,
though still dear to many of us, sink
into insignificance when our country is
threatened by the alleged Democratic
party, its platform and candidates
nominated al Chicago; advocating re-
pudiation and dishonor which, if sue
cussful, we believe would create wide
spread disaster and ruin to the business
in this, our country. We, the MEM
bers of the Commercial Mems Demo-
voted the Democratic ticket, will dem
onstrate to you in this crisis the same
as all loyal Democrats did in the crisis
of 1861, when their country was threat
ened with rebellion-their patriotism
and love for their country-so shall we
demonstrate to you our patriotism and
love for our country, its Institutions
and flag, by supporting you, whom we
have confidence will best subserve and
maintain the honor and integrity Of our
and restore to our people con-
hdence and prosperity"
ANOTHER STORM.
Major Mckinley had to face another ,
storm of applause when he stepped for
ward to speak. He said in part:
Your call is most gratifying to me,
md most encouraging to the cause in
which we are jointly engaged. To have
his large body of commercial men,
every branch of mercan-
lie interest in the great city of chi
ago, belonging TO another political
party than the one with which l am as
pay me a visit, is peculiarly
significant and demonstrates, in a most
striking manner, that the great con-
sentative force of all parties can be
elied upon to unite in every crisis of our
country Tremendous cheering.) [

world that the old sectional lines are

ontrol against
