to the Mckinley home headed by
drum corps coming with them, and
gave Mckinley three rousing cheers

Col. John Hay, who was President
Lincoln's private secretary, arrived in
Canton today and was met by Maj.
Mckinley. He expressed his surprise
| at the campaign, as he has personally
viewed it and as he has read it, There
! has never been anything like it, he
! says. Probably the nearest approach
! to 1t was the campaign Of Mr.. Lincoln,
when the nominee received at his own
! home large number of visitors But
/ they did not come in any such num-
bers as they are coming to Canton, and
Mr.. Lincoln made no speeches.
! Continued Col. Hay: But Maj Nc
! kfnley IN all his speeches has not ut
tered wrong word or made mistake
and has added greatly to- the strength
OF the Republican cause every day"

In responding to the greetings Of his
visitors today Maj. Mckinley said in
part:
| The Republican party has always occupied
post of great honor. It was born In the
interest OF liberty and the rights of humanity.
1t has never struck a blow that has not
been for freedom and our glorious fax n
never had higher post of homer than If
mas To-Day Glorious as the past has been,
II never carried a flag which involved more
to the institutions of our country and to ito
good name than the flag which it carries today.

the Republican party mas been made
new departure; that it occupies a differept
position today from that which 1t ever oceu-
