-Partisanship ia responsible for an
immense amount of corruption in tho
Denver city government. Occasionally
the unfnithful public servants fall out
among themselves and the people have u
glimpse OF the dishonesty which infects

Just now ngitGting Denyer's citizens.
And there will be no improvement until

The free seed business has caused the

Highly successful and enjoyable was
the visit OF the members OF the RepublI-
can Press Association OF West Virginia
and their families 10 the home OF Major
Mckinley, the Republican candidate for
President. The heavy artillery OF the
West Virginia army of protection and
SOUND money paid It's respects by re-
Inander-in-chlef.
The day was perfect for tho journey
10 Canton, and the trip over the Wheel
ing d Lake Eric was enjoyable. Two
special cars reserved for the party werc
attached to the Wheeling e Lake Eric
train leaving Wheeling at 10 a. M, Cen
tral time. The party upon Its arrival
was met by the local reception commit
tee and escorted 10 two street cars kind
ly.tendered by the street railway for the
occasion ut the request OF the Canton
Repository. The cars carried the par
ty to the llurfOrd House. where dinner,
was discussed. After dinner and a
short rest, the party, led by squad Of
horsemen, formed in 'linc and marched
10 the Mckinley homei The ladies ac-
companying the excursion marched In
the ranks and displayed an aptness for
this means OF campaigning which was
beyond question. The procession,
eighty-seven strong, attracted attention
and was favorably commented upon.
Arriving ut the Mckinley home the la
dies were given accommodations upon
the veranda, while the newspaper men,
with uncovered heads formed q double
line Immediately in front The appear
ancc of Mr.. Mckinley met with q burst
OF applause, which was cordial and
continued, but which could not measure
the friendship and esteem his callers feel
for him. The major looked the picture
of sound health and his robust frame
evidenced the fact that the political slt>
uation Is not worrying him or causing
him loss OF sleep.
The president Of the press association,
Hon. p. W. Morris, nf the. RitchIe Ga
zette, made the Introductory speech. He
| apologized for the use OF manuscript md
added that the present occasion required
special preparation. The speech was up
TO Mr. Morris high standard. and was

ST. PAUL, Sept. 1.-The second day
OF Grand Army week opened with Just
enough clouds 10 make the weather
wise expect rain, but the clouds served
simply to make It more comfortable
for the marching veterans, as they
tramped 10 their quarters or partici-
pated In the parade OF naval veterans
and 'eX-prlsoners OF war. Before noon
the sun broke through the clouds and
mildly bracing northwestern weather
continued another day. All night long
the heavy trains rolled In the depot and
all night the local accommodations
committee and others delegated to see
TO the housing and comfort OF visitors
remained on duty.
To-day there seemed decided In
crease in the size OF the incoming hosts.
the trains coming In in three, four and
five sections, all loaded. The number
already here and the Humber known 10
be enroute 10 the encampment demon
strateS that the conservative railroad
estimate OF one hundred and thirty
thousand visitors which was based on
the number Of tickets sold and con-
tracted last week will be short OF the
actual number present tomorrow
when the grand parade starts.
Besides the more than two hundred
reunions Of rcgimental associations,
there are continual reunions OF COM
radcs who had not seen or heard Of
each other since they pressed elbows
together In the old war days. Many
touching scenes were witnessed around
the dcpots and various headquarters.
Among to-day's arrivals one OF the
most striking was the drum corps OF
the Howell Eelliher Post, OF Buffalo,
N. Y, whose rcgImental uniform was OF
the old Continental cut and color, and
gray hair md the strongly marked
faces OF some members ot the corps
made one almost think they were some
of Washington's veterans.
