 SOUND MONEY.

 Canton, O., June 26.-A reception was given this afternoon by the ladies Of Canton to Major and Mrs. Mckinley and the venerable mother of Major Mckinley. The women came forth without regard to party or sect or color For more than two hours an unbroken stream of women, two and sometimes three abreast, passed in at the front doors of the spacious Miller residence, thence to the receiving room and out by side door.
 The crowd numbered 5000. While the women walked through the house an orchestra concealed behind great bank of ferns, palms and flowers play- ed musical selections. The house was bower of bloom and verdure The flowers and palms were thickly studded with tiny electric bulbs. The light of day was excluded, and when the incan- descent burners blazed forth the spec- tacle was fine one. The reception commenced with speech by Mrs. Alice Dannos Jones. Among other things she said:
 fourteen years ago on the Sunday following his nomination James A. Gaf11eld walked into the old home church, bearing on his arm his aged mother, and on last Sunday into the church of his early faith walked our future president, and with him walked his aged mother. With home anchor- age such as this we women have no fears that under the coming adminis- tration hearth fires will burn dimmer or counting rooms be closed
 Our men may deal with questions of tariff and finance and political pol- icy; we women believe that the irn- portance of pure living is higher than all and are satisfied that should you be called to preside over the destinies of the nation we shall have a man at
 
 record so untarnished that any moth CT here to-day would feel proud to know that the steppings of their little boys might be in lines parallel with this.''
 Mrs. Jones was loudly applauded. Major Mckinley, in a dozen words, thanked the ladies for their presence and took his place with his wife and mother to receive the women. It was an effective group. Mrs. Mckinley and the majors aged mother sat in large chairs on dais. There were palms and flowers around them. Major Me- Kinley stood at the left of his wife and made the introductions. He was visibly moved by the character and the manifest sincerity of the interest which the women showed in him and his family He perhaps never received a more emphatic and gratifying tribute of neighborly affection in his life. This evening 300 cheerful shouters from Nor- walk called upon Major Mckinley and trampled the last spots of verdure from the lawn in which the major took so much pride.
 The Norwalk club was introduced by ex-Speaker Lalin of the Ohio house In response Major Mckinley expressed his pleasure at meeting the delegation and said:
 T am glad to meet you here because I recall that old Huron county for more than forty years has stood by the re- publican cause, commencing in the na- tional contest of 1856, and this year as forty years ago the republicans of Huron county will stand for republican principles and republican policies. Loud applause) No man anywhere throughout the country doubts where the republican party stands to-day. It sands for a reunited country; it stands for the American factory; the Ameri- can farm; the American fireside; for American labor and American wages and American prosperity throughout every part of our much loved land.
 "It stands for a protective tariff that protects every American interest. Loud applause) It stands for a recip- rocity that reciprocates-that. gets something for what we give from the nations of the world. It stands for the reciprocity of Blaine and of Harrison and of the great republican party. Loud cheers.) And it stands, as it has always stood, for sound money (vocif- erous cheers) with which to measure the exchanges of the people-a dollar that is not only good at home, but good in every market place of the world. (Cries of 'bravo.O With these princi- pies emblazoned on our banner this year we appeal to the deliberate judg- ment of the American people, As Lin- coin used to say: There is no safer tribunal In the world than the Amer ican people and to that tribunal we confide and submit our aims and pur- poses this year."
