"What,s In a Name?"

A sculptor Of more humor than talent
recently induced a prominent New York
woman to allow him to make a bust of
her. When it was nearing completion,
he remarked during cne of her sittings:
'sI am afraid this is not going to look
very much like you, but never mind, we
will call it Ruth or st. Cecilia and
send it somewhere to take prize. '--

TRIBUTE OF GLAss-woRKERs
Laborers From Massillon Factories
Call TO Pledge Their
Support.

CANTON, ONO, July This has been
one of Major McKinley's busiest days. In
addition to the work of meeting deIega-
tions and receiving callers this morning
he had long talk with Mr.. Hobart. This
afternoon 500 glass-workers came from
Massillon. Many of them were Demo-
Gratis. but announced that they would vote
for Mckinley. In response to a speech
by their spokesman Major Mckinley made
short address on the subject of the tariff
and its advantages, one of which was that
we had secured the first rank in the manu-
facture OF glass in this country.
The picturesque and unique event of the
campaign was the visit of 5000 delegates to
the State convention of Christian Endeav-
orers, now in session. Shortly after 4
o'clock, this army of men and women
marched to the Mckinley residence in two
great battalions. AS many as could find
standing room in the spacious grounds
crowded in and formed a dense mass.
Those i'll the rear filed the street on
the sides for the distance of block in
either direction. 1t was an impressive
scene
VIII en- Major Mckinley appeared he was
greeted with cheers and the Chautauqua
salute. He spoke in part as follows:
Free Governments have uniformly recog-
nized their dependence upon higher power,
and have taken steps to the promotion of
morality and the diffusion of knowledge
among their citizens. In the United States
this has been steadily the aim of our local and
State governments, and in the advancement
of this great work of good, the people without
respect to their denominational connection
have had an active and useful part. In every
charitable, broad and generous effort, bid
you, ladies and gentlemen, godspeed, and
commend 10 your observation and for your ex-
ample that noble policy, that true, that patri-
otto devotion to morality and uplifting of
mankind which so conspieuously disting guished
the founders of this mighty country. Let US
cherish the institutions of civil and religious
liberty which they planted in the wilderness,
and continue them in all their vigor and
strength for the generations yet to come.
The Christian Endea v0r hosts had not
departed before carriages drove up con-
tanning Hon. Richard C. Kerens and a
party of St. Louis gentlemen and promi-
nent men in political and business circles.
The st. Louis delegation left shortly be-
fore 10 this evening. Uncommon interest
attaches to its visit, because it was the first
party of widely known business men and
employers of labor to call on Major Nc
Klnley.

dental candidates are all open questions.

vote can be thrown in a bunch for any,

AT OAKLAND MOLE.
Loyal Democrats Speed Delegates
on Their Way With Cheers
and Good Wishes.

Iroquois braves, a hundred strong, made
the old Piedmont shake on her $50 trip
last evening with the Democratic hilarity
and jubilation she carried. From the time
the boat lett the slip to the time it tied up
at the Mole a continuous round of cheers
for the delegates to Chicago was kept no.
James Y. Coleman and Louis Metzger, the
idols of the IrOquois, and also Congress
man Mcguire, came in for generous share
of the plaudits.
During the half hour before the train
pulled out general jubilation was held at
the pier. Bob Allen and his band impreg-
mated the zephyrs with the sweet strains
of "The Bully" "Mah Angelire" and
Hes Jolly Good Fellow" Fred Raabe,
irrepressibly hilarious. acted as drum
major and manipulated his cane as baton
with an agility that would make a pro-
fessional envious. Now and again in his
enthusiasm he would commence to dance,
executing wonderful serpentine gyratlons
with bewildering rapidity. In his terpsi-
choTean efforts he was ably seconded by
S. V. Merle and Max Pepper.
The o'clock boat took another large
crowd of Democrats across the bay. Sem
ator White, ex-Congressman Caminetti,
Registrar Hinton and ex-Sheriff McDade
were conspicuous among the throng. Long
John wilkins was down at the ferry, not
to go with the delegation as he has so

spittle for the Democratic party, and
that's the reason why
On .he other side the crowd pressed
about the delegates to shake hands and
say good-by. The cheers and music kept
up a continuous din. The delegates, with
neat badges of purple and gold, over which
hung the State seal in silver and silver
bear, stood on the platforms of the cars or
uttered their adieus from their windows.
Louis Metzger was led up and down the
depot arm in arm with Fred Raabe fol-
lowed by the band. Then all adjourned
to the car where generous supply of Cali
fornia wine had been stored to help the
delegates across the desert, and healths
were drunk profuseiy.
As the long train finally pulled out the
band struck up 1.-The Girl l Left Behind
Me-" and many loyal Iroquois brave
turned his face homeward and sighed a
disappointed sigh that he was not one OF
the jolly party already speeding eastward.

course OF talk. II don't think it Will be
necessary to take drastic steps like that.
The silver men will rule, and nobody can

J. J. Dwyer thinks that Whitney will

anticipate that the gold votes will be put
into his hands, and that at critical time
he will throw them to the least objection
able of the silver or compromise candi-
dates. Pennsylvania, New York and
Massachusetts are close together on the
rollcall, and he could easily throw those
votes at critical time and create a
stampede.
BLAND is the most talked about here,
but he is a one-idea man and don't think
he is a winner. The CalifoTnia delegation
will undoubtedly stand by its instructions
and vote solidly for silver at 10 to to the
last ditch. That will be my course"
When the train reached Sacramento, at
1890 o'clock, the Sacramento Iroquois
Club, several hundred citizens, brass
band and much hurrah greeted the dele
began their two-minute speechmaking
from the car steps, and did quite well.
The crowd howled for White and White
told an eloquent silver story in a few
words. "As we go along we will convince
Mr.. Hanna and his friends that the silver
question is something of an iss1e after
all, :" said the Senator.
Foote announced with vigor of lung that
the delegation was on its way TO name the
next President of the United States. He
tried to commit Harry Wise TO silver, too.
Il want you 10 watch this California
delegation" he said, land you will see
that every pledge we are bound by is full
filed TO the letter. 1 believe that you will
see eighteen solid votes for everything
that We were pledged to two weeks ago."
Mcguire talked silver and the Demo-
cratic chance Tor grand victory, and his
belief that the National Convention would
not adopt any straddle planks intended to
fool people.
James V. Coleman told his fellow
Democrats that the silver agitation was
not Popnli5t or anarchistic move, and
when his share of the cheering was done
Church of Fresno had his say.
Then the California delegation rolled
on IN the night toward the sagebrush,
with its path as dark ana uncertain as the
one across the river on the boundary of
4olo County. J. o. DENNY.
