SIXTY THOUSAND PEOPLE
SHOOK HANDS WITH M'KINLEY
LAST WEEK.
Cheering News Brought by His
Friends From All Parts of
the Country.

CANTON, Sept. 20-Major Mckinley
closed last night the most arduouS week
of the campaign. He remained at home
all day to-day and in the evening
greeted a few personal friends. There
We're no callers of a national or political
reputation.
Major Mckinley has shaken hands
with upward of sixty thousand people
during the past week and has had in the
aggregate about 100000 visitors. This
week he will have delegations every day
after Monday and will have to make as
many formal speeches as he did last
week. The speeches which Major Nc
Kinley made in August, together with
some account of the circumstances
which called them forth, have been
printed and bound and will be ready for
distribution this week. The demand for
his speeches made between the day of
his nomination and the 1st of August
and the letter of acceptance is unabated.
The unpublished speeches now number
sixty. but the additions for September
Will bring the total up to a hundred.
Major Mckinley was in excellent
spirits to-day. He thinks the situation
is improving daily. Several callers to-
day from the far West have told him
that Wyoming, Colorado and Idaho
have been thoroughly canvassed and
that there is ample foundation for the
belief that he will carry them all, but
with small pluralities.
The news which Major Mckinley had
to-day from the Pacific slope is reas-
surfing. He is informed that if the pres
ent exertion which Republicans are
making there be continued every State
on the Pacific Coast will be carried by
the Republicans.
Senator Cullom assured Major Nc
Kinley that Illinois would give him
100000 plurality and Congressman Nc
Cleary of Minnesota said that the sound
money idea would prevail in his State
and that it was growing stronger every
hour.
Senator Thurston is confident that the
Republicans will carry Nebraska and
told Major Mckinley that he need have
no further apprehension on that score.
c. L. Kurtz, Chairman of the Repub-
lican State Committee, wires to-day
Senator-elect J. 3. Foraker will take the
stump this week in Ohio and devote all
the rest of the campaign to the work
of making political speeches. He has
been asked to make a trip to the Pacific
Coast.
Mr.. Kurtz expects to have five
speeches from Thomas B. Reed of Maine
in Ohio within a short time.
Among the kilograms received to-day
were the following: Cheyenne. Wyom-
ing: Mckinley and Hobart Club, 9oo
members organized, send greetings and
assurances of support Wyoming Re
publicans for protection and sound
money.
JOHN G. BAIRD, President.
Flae-taff, Arizona: Republicans of

geon at Manila. The next morning four
teen of the prisoners were found dead,

The Spaniards, with the object of strik-
ing terror among the sympathizers of
the rebels, make it practice to execute
their prisoners publicly. The men are
taken out in patches and shot before the
eyes of anyone who desires to witness
their death.
The dispatch further states that the
rebels are making headway in the in
terror.
