Wraps His Party In the Flag.
CANTON. O., Oct. 22-Major McKin-
ley made six speeches today. Five of the
delegations We're from Ohio and one from
the adjoining state of Indiana. The
Ohio people were so numerous and so
enthusiastic that Major Mckinley told
them this might properly have been
called Ohio day. The weather was de-
lightful. Z
that the arguments are all in, made his
speeches shorter, crisp and inspiring.
| They inspired generous and at times
tumultuouS applause.
The first delegation was from Creston,
wayne county. 0. 1t came at 1880
o'clock, and numbered about 300 Major
Mckinley's response to the spokesman's
address was brief and happy He spoke
on protection and Sound money"
delegation from Medina county, o.,
numbering more than 1900, called a. 1890.
There. were bands and a good glee club
with it, which sang popular and cam
paign airs while the throng was march
ing into Major McKinleys yard. The
delegation was an enthusiastic one and
gave Major Mckinley rousing reception
when he arose to speak. He said that he
liked the spirit of the remarks of Pro-
lessor NJ. +. Warner, the spokesman of
the delegation, who is president of the
that he was a lifelong Democrat who felt
1t his patriotic duty TO vote the Republic
an ticket this year.
RISES ABOVE POLITICS.
This is not a partisan campaign he
said. 1T rises altogether above that 1t
IS a campaign, as 1 view it, for the
United States, its honor, its credit, it's
currency; its welfare; and l welcome the
assistance which comes to our cause from
every quarter of the country, from men

| Warner is a good enough Republican for
me this year, Qaughter), and he does not
stand alone, (cries of no. for in every
fashioned Democrats who love their
countrys honor and esteem it more
highly than they do any political associa-
ton no matter how long they have been
members Of it, and they are with us in
this contest for the public honor. L am
glad TO meet the young men from the
coiiege Oh Berea. l am glad that IN this
political contest we can submit our
principles with confidence to the educated
men of the United States, and l rejoice
! that in every college Of the country, east
and west, where poll has been taken, a
large majority is always found in favor
| OF financial integrity and the national
honor. (Cheering). Some people Seem
| to think that the way to enrich this
country is to coin the silver of the world
! at the ratio OF 10 to 1. Well, if 16 to 1 Is
| good thing, 81 to l is better, for 90 to l
| better expresses the commercial relation
/ between gold and silver than 16 to l. If
| we are to coin silver dollars we want

1 100 cents everywhere so that the dollar

a private creditor But, my fellow citi-
/ zens. there is more involved In this cam

/ There is The question OF whether this is
! d government by law, whether the law is
| TO be supreme over all. whether the
| courts of this country, which are sheet
I anchor for us in every time of trouble.
/ are to be sustained or to become the
mere creatures of a party caucus. Away
| with it. (ApplauSe) This is a govern
/ ment by law, and the people will render

sustaining both law and courts"
DEBAsING THE MONEY.
From GAINESVILLE, Belmont county, and
other small towns in the ne.ghboring
! next delegation came. 1t was made up
| OF wQrEiEgmen, farmers and miners and
it numbered nearly LOCO. Major McKin-
! ley said:
II take it the people about me, at
! least those who can hear my voice, are
opposed to debasing the money of the
country. Every man, whether he has
much money or little, wants it good. He
| wants a money stable in value, uncor-
| rupted and incompatible: a money that
| Will be worth 1C1 cents on every dollar
whether he keeps it or parts with it,
| labor or for farm products, or pays it to
| the merchant, or the banker. / think
that no man in Ohio wants the oblisa-
tons OF the United States diShOnOred TO
the extent of a single farthing. We have
| fought this battle over and over again.
| The Democratic party, or one wing of II,
at least, once declared that we must
repudiate the bonds of the United States,
! but the Republican party said No, these
| bonds We're issued to save the flag of
the country and every dollar must be
paid IN as good currency as the world
knows and we paid off under that
policy more than two-thirds of that great
national debt"
The GAINESVILLE delegation was closely
followed by a great one from Marietta,
o., which included some visitors from
Morgan county. The Marietta delegation,
| coming from the first settlement IN the
whole northwest territory, and country
rich in historical associations and sug-
gestions, caused Major Mckinley to re-
call some scenes, incidents and events OF
! the past.
is FRIGHTENED.
Then he said:
Cur nCnor IS impugned; our currency
is threatened; our courts are assaulted;
the very fabric of our government is in
volved in the controversy which we must
settle one week from next Tuesday. This
is not partisan contest; it is a contest
built upon genuine patriotism and look
ing to genuine Arnericanism. No danger
can ever come 10 this republic SO long as
and keep it in our hearts, and I speak to
all my fellow citizens of Ohio when l gay
that this is the year when you are TO de-
terrnine, each for himself, whether or not
ne wants a 50-cent dollar or 100-cent
dollar; whether or not he wants a return
to that prosperity from which he ran
away in 1892, and whether or not he wants
to continue that industrial policy which
increases debts OF the government ana
debts for the people and want and destf-
tuition for all of US. Cries of We want
prosperity and we want McKinley.'D The
| Republican party stands for an honest
dollar; for the maintenance of the public
honor; for sustaining the public faith
for sustaining incorruptible the courts CT
the country and for prociaiminS to all the
world that this is government of law
| (applause), and that the law must be su-
preme above all. In this great contest
the Republican party has been designated
to carry the banner that represents those
great principles. and men of all political
parties this year are rallying around that
banner because It embraces what they be-
lieve to be the highest good of the people
and the glory Of the republic"
