"Mon OF Tennessee, I appeal to you to
steadfastly uphold the great safeguards Of
our national government. Stand by the
party which seeks to promote national pros

the surface of her immeasurable wealth.

Two special trains one of eight coaches
and the other of six. came from the county of
Clinton, Ohio, with few neighboring coun-
ties to see Major Mckinley. They formed an
enthusiastic crowd and added much to the
volume Of cheers with which the city has
been echoing all day The crowd was com

Here in Ohio the people have more than

the first time-in the history of our state
