\ 20 "Au III pIdIe makers. Major NC
kinney said in part:
| Inc wisdom of the craftsmanship OF
hamilton and Blaine was unheeded in
1897. They have not only deprived our
agnculturists of the protection they had
against the importation of foreign wool
! llVe stock and farm products, not only
taken from the farmers the benefits OF
| reciprocity and new outlets for their
surplus products, but they are now SER
! louSiy proposing to pay them for the
lessened quantity at a lessened price In
dollars Of a deprecated value and cheat
you in quality under their financial
| policy as free trade has cheated you in
quantity. Applause) General Grant
IN his annual message to Congress in
| lSlU, said: If it means a failure to
provide necessary means to defray all
the expenses of the Government, and
therefore reputation of the public debt
and pensions, then I am still more op-
posed to such kind of revenue reform.
| Great cheering)
Now all must agree that if free sill
YER is to add as it will undoubtedly add
to agricultural, manufacturing and
commercial distress, now so severe in
all parts Of the country, then we are
more than ever opposed to it and to
accepting the other delusion OF false
finance" (Applause)
| At i o'clock Market street was filled
with delegations as far as the eye could
reach. They were massed all .he way
down the hill under the great white
arch, and stretched out for mile to
the furthest railway station.
The ninth speech was made to 6OC
railroad men from Fort Wayne. Ind,
together with delegation from Cleve-
land, comprising employees of the Amer
lean Wire Company, of the Harbeson-
Walker Stove Fire Brick Company, OF
the Oil Well Supply Company of Pitts
burg, of the H. P. Nail Works, of the
Cleveland Hardware Company and OF
the Kilby Company. Major Mckinley
said:
Il almost despair of being able to
make myself heard to this great assem-
blage of my countrymen. You come
from different States, but with a sim
gle purpose, and that to satisfy your
devotion to the principles of the great
Republican party. Parties do not make
issues; issues make parties. Men who
think alike act together. This vast
crowd thinks alike and they propose to
vote together on the third day Of No
venber. (Applause.)
1--WE have not only the best manufac-
tories and the best railroads, and the
most of them, but we have the best
money in the world. We have more
gold in the United States than any
other Governments except France and
Germany: we have more silver than
any other Government except India and
China. Every dollar, whether OF gold
or silver, is worth 100 cents wherever
trade goes, and in every mart and mar
ket place of the world. Now what we
want to do is to get back what We lest
in 1892. Great applause) Are you
all agreed as to that? (Cries of eve
are" and you bet")
Nobody seems to be satisfied with
what was done in 1892 Those who
lhelped to do it and those who are
against 1t are alike dissatisfied. What
we want is to return to the normal
prosperity Of the United States"
The next delegation numbered loo
and came from Venango County, Pa
A delegation of 100 students from
Wooston (O.) College marched up at the
same time.
The candidate addressed the two del
egations in a few felicitous words and
then received 700 members Of the Union

with them a score of battle-scarred and

dressed the veterans in patriotic words

We're the next callers. Turning from
! the Cincinnati audience which was
massed in the street before him. Major
Mckinley received from a committee
representing the mechanics and silver
smiths of the Mauser Manufacturing
| Company OF New York a handsome
silver vase. The speech of presentation
was made by George Dessauer Major
Mckinley responded with a few pleas
ant remarks.
! A long line of wheelmen, radiant in
costumes of bright colors, came swiftly
down few moments later. There were
Wheelmen in large numbers from Pitts
burg, Cleveland, Buffalo, Chicago Gin
cinnati and other points. Major Nc
kiDley addressed the wheelmen as fol-
lows:
You are very welcome to my home
| Political clubs on wheels are novel in
political contests, and are truly Amer
lean. Their presence marks a new era
in campaign work and / congratulate
you upon the inauguration of this
mighty force in American politics. The
bicycle is entirely a development oi
the nineteenth century, and in no age
in the history of the world would it's ben
efts and utility have been SO quickly
and generally acknowledged. In the
| category Of inventions I doubt if any
vehicle or means Of locomotiOn was
ever so favorably received. It's use is
long since out of the realm of romance
and song, and belongs to one of the
greatest and most wonderful inventions
of this time To the rank Of steamboat
railroad, telegraph and telephone (great
cheering.) The Americans are eminently
a practical people, and were quick tC
see both the convenience and utility OF
this beautiful machine, SO simple and
perfect in every part, and SO well de-
| signed as a whole that prejudice could
not prevail against it, nor pride, nor
prudishness, nor fear prevent it's wild
est use by men, women and children
everywhere. applause and ringing OF
| bells)
The cyclist, I believe has beaten the
best time ever made by a horse, and has
almost surpassed In speed the fastest
engines In the world. CONTINUED cheer
ing and ringing Of bells.) The speed OF
the wheelmen would be extremely use
full for political party. if mere dis
tance were the test of it's running
qualities. The size of a political party
