the day In behalf of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
way delegation w. J. Rithrch was the spokesman
for the Coraopolis delegation. and r. r. Richard

home delegation after delegation from near and
distant States to testify their devotion to the

time In our history when the people themselves

What we want, all Of U.S. is peace protection,
patriotism and prosperity Tremendous cheer

ness Of the great State you represent in both
your acts and the gracious words that have
been spoken by your representatives, and as
sure you that no one could more highly ap-
preciate them than do Applause? These
daily-and 1t seems to me almost hourly-calls
Of large and earnest bodies Of American citi-
| zens, made at such great sacrifice of time and
with so much fatigue and inconvenences, touch
me most deeply; but would not have you think
nor have any one think for an instant that
consider them simply personal tributes or calls
thing OF the kind They possess the deep sig
nfcance 'of indicating that the American peo-
pie everywhere aroused and intensely in
terested In the pending campaign.
You know people used to say that Ohio was
| always in state of perpetual campaigning
Canton Is in that state just now-(boisterous
! laughter and applause) and that the fall cam
paign off than the spring cam
paign was on. and so 1t went the whole year
round. Well. we are doing better now, for Ohio
has done away with one Of her elections The
old State election in Ohio which used to point the
way for the country to follow has permanently
abandoned that task to Oregon, Vermont and
Maine. prolonged cheering)
They have held up the cause OF the country
well this year Oregon voted In June, and It
gave the head Of the Republican ticket more
than 1900 piurality-a Republican gain as con-
| trasted with the corresponding election in 1892
