Maj. Mckinley addressed the Holmes
county delegation as follows:
My Fellow CitiZens-lt gives me
great pleasure to welcome to my home
the citizens of Holmes county. | recall
with special satisfaction that in 1880,
| just six years ago. by an act of the
| legislature. your county became Il part
of the district in which | was candi
date on the republican ticket. / re-
member the campaign | made in your
county with special pleasure and graft
| tication. | recall your warm welcome
and | recall your words of good cheer;
| recall that encouragement which you
gave me at every turn. and although an
overwhelmingly democratic county, as
YOU have always been. it was pleasant
to me. i'll studying the returns, to oh
serve that by your aid and that of some
| of your democratic neighbors the re-
suits showed Il republican gain.
That was the year when the prophet
was abroad in the land. The campaign
was one of prediction and prevaricatiOn;
the tin pedder was abroad in Holmes
county. His marvellous tales startled
the community, daughter and ap-
plause and beating of tin buckets.)
Tin never was so high before or since.
We had only just enacted the protective
law of 1890 and we had determined in
that law that we would establish in the
nited States factories that would make
the plate for the United States and our
own people (applause) and we have done
it. Great cheering.) And the people
of Holmes county will recall today that
not n single prediction made in 1890 re-
specting the price of tin has been full
filled.
Free silver is all the cry now. Free
silver is going, to cure all our ills.
doesn't make any difference how free
silver is coined in the United States, you
will not get Il dollar of it unless you give
| something for it. applause and cries
of that's right If we had mints in
every state in the Union and in every
county of every state and the silver of
the world was brought TO those mintS.
nents,, silver wouldn't be any freer for
you than it is now. CTremcndouS
cheering and cries of you are right
Then, besides. in this country we don't
propose to have dishonest dollar. We
propose to have the best of everything
that is going. We have the best coun-
try and the best men and we propose to
what we are going to do.) There is an
other thing. my fellow citizens. that the
people intend to do this year. | say
by the allied parties the people in No
vembcr will repudiate the so-called
democratic party i'll their roll of dis
honor. The people have no patience
with those who would violate the faith
with dishonor. (ApplauseJ They will
not tolerate reputation of public law or
private dealings. They will not coun-
tenance the clipping of the coins of the
| country and will never consent to clip
ping the currency in any form which
may be proposed. Continuous cheer
| ing) The contest should be so settled
| thiS thut hprno flor ~ n

plause and cries of you are right
I'VE can not afford to have the Ques-
ton raised every four years whether the
nation will pay or repudiate its debts i'll
| whole or in part. CTremendous ap-
plause)
This is the year. my fellow citizens. of
Holmes county. to close that question
| forever. 1t can be so determined this
year that it will never present itself
again in your lifetime. y sweeping
and impressive majority against the
combined opposition will do it. nothing
else. CA voice: 4 know we will do it
all right.D Not bare majority, hut 4
mighty one, placing the party of national
honor in control of every branch will
do it. Anything short of that will leave
the question open to further dispute.
| Let us once for all settle it that this
government is honest and that neither
the seeds of reputation nor lawlessness
can find root in your soil or live beneath
your roof tremendous cheeringO In
this contest all the banner we want is
the American flag. That represents all
our aims. all our policies. all our pur-
poses. 1t is the banner of every patriot
it is. thank God, today the flag of every
citizen of your common country. No
nation ever triumphed over it. Cap
plause.) 1t never was degraded or de-
feated and will not now be. when more
patriotic men are guarding it than ever
before in our history" Applause and
| three cheers for Mckinley)
