CANTON, OHIO, Aug. 22.-The most
notable political demonstration of the
campaign occurred here to-day at noon,
when 1900 voters from Newcastle, Elwood
and other points in Lawrence County, Pa,
arrived on two special trains and, enliv-
ened by the music of two bands, drum
corps calliope and a brass howitzer.
marched up to the Mckinley residence to
visit the Republican candidate for the
Presidency. The delegation was made up
of workingmen. mechanics and farmers.
There were also present hundred or more
old soldiers.
A great many banners bearing inscrip-
tions were borne in the procession. One
read: I'VE want our factories started, not
rich mine-owners made richer" Another
said: sixteen to one-sixteen men out of
work for one who has it." And another
had this inscription: "Give US back the
prosperous days of the Mckinley tariff"
The visiting delegation could not find
standing room on the spacious Mckinley
lawn and scores of people had TO remain
in the street. 1t was several minutes be-
fore Colonel Oscar Jackson of Newcastle,
former colleague of Major Mckinley in
Congress and the spokesman of the visit
ing delegation, could MAKE himself heard.
His speech was cogent and at times eIo-
queRt. Among other things he said:
| We consider the much-taIked-of money ques-
| ton false issue, raised by designing men for
selfish purposes. Republicans are not asking
for any change in this respect. For many
years We have had good money and we only
want II kept good

ing place among the great nations of the earth.
Undoubtedly then we should have money that
is recognized as the best the world over. We
are not the people that should go back to
cheap, poor money, and when that question
does come up we want all we have "to be good
equal to the best"
When Major Mckinley stepped on q
chair to address his callers the cheering
burst forth again. After it bad subsided
Major Mckinley delivered one of the most
earnest speeches that has fallen from his
| lips. His voice was in excellent condition,
and he spoke with fervor that was mag
netic and moving. He spoke as follows:
Mr.. Jackson and my Fellow-citizens of Law
renee County, Pa: 1t gives me very great
| pleasure to welcome the citizens of neighbor-
ing State TO my city and to my home. Inote

can party did then was in the interest of the
Union; in the interests OF the constitutions; in
the interests OF men; IN the interests OF

placed there the crown OF dignity and honor
forever.
The Republican party found this country
torn apart, found her credit gone, her treasury
empty, her commerce swept from the sea, her
industries prostrated, misery and want and
deselation throughout the breadth OF the coun-
try; 1t found this great land OF ours so dis
turbed that there was every prospect of Ma
tional destruction; it found the ship of state,
to use homely metaphor, which was laden
with all the hope and the precious liberties of
the people almost foundered and sinking in
the sea, and under the guidance of Abraham
Lincoln, with the assistance of the immortal
Grant and that of Seward and the other COM
patriots of that Cabinet, the Union was saved
and the credit of the Nation restored and the
industries revived.
The war over, and peace blessing our coun-
try, we entered upon q period OF prosperity
never before known in any country and never
before equaled in this. And until q moment
of weakness in q moment OF foolish belief in

Mr.. Scott was enthusiastically applauded
at the close of his remarks.
Ex-senator George G. Perkins. the next
speaker, after bowling his acknowledge
ment to tumultuous burst of applause,
proceeded to compare the fate of the Re-
public under Republican and Democratic
regime respectively.

fused to accept it as such. We have gold,

and everywhere ell over the wide world !;
good to-day, good tomorrow and good as

The speaker drew an illustration that
evoked applause. He said that when
Irving NJ. Scott is about to build an ocean
steamer he goes to bank and asks for

Mr.. Scott, you may have So 900, 600. We

the superintendent of the Mint to stop

not a silver dollar was coined in the
United States. Why don't they howl
about that ''crime"? Webster. Ben
ton, Clay and others fixed the ratio be-
tween silver and gold at 1898 to l, but it
was found that they had undervalued sill

went out of the country and nothing but
gold was left From 1853 to 1873 there was
not even a quarter of a dollar a half q
dollar or a dime coined, so that in 1873 we
must have demonetized something that
we did not have in circulation
The speaker said that silver was re-
monetized in 1878. Up to 1873 $8. 900, 600
in silver was coined, and since 1873 SAL
