Canton, O., Oct. II. 1S96.-Canton, the
home of William Mckinley. has seen
many marvellous events in this campaign,
but none which equaled that of today.
More men and women, more special
trains, more delegations. more assur-
ances of loyalty to national honor, more
addresses and more responses by Maj
Mckinley than on any previous day,
were the record of this seventeenth day
of October. 1896. From morning until
night the number of special trains, the
shouts and cheers of delegations. the
music Of bands, the glitter of uniforms
and the addresses Of Spokesman and re-
sponses of Maj. Mckinley were heard
Nearly 500 cars brought perhaps 10000
people from nearly half the states of
the union.
Mr.. Mckinley. who left his home carly
for short walk in the crisp October
air. found IN anxious throng at his resi-
dence on his return and from that
moment until long after darkness he was
the center of attraction. the recipient of
honors innumerable and the dispenser of
patriotic sentiments which were received
with marks of the highest approval by
tie thousands who heard them.

"There is one thing that can be said
about the Republican party-lt does NOT
teach the doctrines of hate and prejudice,
but teaches the gospel of peace, good
WILL and fraternity between the en-
ployer and employee.
THE man who would array the poor
against the rich, labor against capital,
class against class, or section against
section, is not friend of the country,
but an enemy of the very best interests
of every citizen in the country. | would
rather teach that doctrine which Is so
prevalent this year, North and South,
where none are fer party, but all Tor gov
eminent. This is the true policy or
sturdy American citizenship and clylllza-
tion. | look into your earnest races ana
believe | know what is in your hearts
(Cries of Mckinley, Mckinley There
is but one aim and purpose, and this -
that you may have an opportunity to
work for yourselves and your famlleS.
This opportunity is best enjoyed when we
de our own work in the United States
and not in some other country of the
world This opportunity cannot be
reached, however, until we have re-
turn of confidence. which can come only
when the American people have settled
for all time that they will have no de-
prcciated currency and declare that the
principles of the Republican party shall
be upheld
when confidence comes, money win
come. If You had all the silver in the
world i'm the United States il would not
make more business Business makes
money, money does not make business.
Every one Of you had plenty of work at
good wages until the free trade policy
was inaugurated in 1892. We want to
restore our protective policy. We have
good money now, but we have little busi-
ness confidence. No business man will
manufacture if he does not believe that
at the end of the year he will make
profit. The business man cannot plan
for the trade if he does not know what
kind of competition he is TO have from
abroad. The less he has of foreign com
petition the more work you have ut home
at better wages and prices.
Nothing gives me greater satisfaction
or calls from me deeper gratitude than
to have the workingmen of this country
enroll themselves on the side of good
government sound currency, and the SUI
premacy of law"

WORDS TO RAILROAD MEN.
Employment and Good Money Are De-
sired by All.

There were railroad men on all sides
of Maj. Mckinley when he began his
fourteenth address. One party repre-
scented the Michigan Central. Another
came from Columbus, O., and represent
ed the Pennsylvania lines entering that
city. Still another party represented the
Erie EMPLOYEES of Cleveland. To all
these Maj. Mckinley said:
"There is not workingman in this
audience who would not rather work foI
n good road than poor road; and there
is not an employe in this great audience
that would not rather be paid in good
money than poor money. (Applause)
what you want first and above all
else is employment. What You want Is
to get on the pay roll of a good railroad
company. for you have to get on the pay
roll before you can get anything out Of

mine in the country TO be busy. "a
voice: Not the silver mlnes.D My
friend says no silver mines. We are
willing that our silver mines shall be
busy: / hope every one of them, too,
will be busy; but If they were all put to
work and every mint was at work they
would not furnish employment for one
third of the idle men in this country who
earn their living by toll
You have to get your employment in
the great, active, busy industries of the
country. This is where you get your
work and wages, and when these great
busy industries are at work your rail-
roads have plenty of traffic. Great ap.

SHOUTING THOUSANDS T1RONG THE STREETS OF CANTON

This is the year when people all want
10 vote. They are ready now to vote.
(Cries of We are, anyhow, followed by
great applause) They know on which
side they mean 10 vote. Cries of The
Republican ticket.) Why do they want
10 vote that ticket this year? Because
llcan triumph is public confidence and
the restoration of better times. They
have had some experience in the last
three years and half and that expert
ence has been most costly. Not a single
interest in the country but has suffered.
The government has suffered in its rev.
enueS and the people in their wages and
the prices of their products In fact,
everything has suffered but the glorious
principles of the Republican party.
Great cheering.)
Protection, honest money, public NOR
ais, reciprocity, the national honor, the
public credit-all emblazoned on the ban
ner OF Republicanism this year, and raj
lying around that standard are men of all
parties, all races, all sections, all creeds.
The white man, the black man, the
wage-earner and the employer the pro-

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

We do not believe in wanton cruelty
under any circumstances; Mr.. Bryan
should see to il at once that the ropes Of
his parachute are in good working order
The best way to deal with panic is to
vote il to death in advance.
The Boy Orator has become irritable.
He scolds the people and calls names.
He started out on his campaign in good
temper and in good voice. He still has
the voice. III
If Bryan will look at his hand again
he will find that there are four cards
instead of five in his flush.
The crime of '13 must be lost, strayed
or stolen. Ii has been conspicuous by it's
absence in Popocratic speeches for sew
eral weeks.
William Mckinley never advocated the
passage of a law which was designed to
take money out of the pockets of Ameri-
can workingmen.
Bryan is mislcd into thinking "the
country is going TO the dogs by the
snarling of Altgeld and Tillman. The
country will go after these dogs on No
vember 3 for brief period, but when
the country returns there won't be any
more dogs worth mentioning.

DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS.
Citizens of Kentucky Join in support of
Mckinley and Honest Money.

large delegation from Kentucky,
composed of both Republicans and sound
money Democrats, was one of the most
demonstrative in honoring the Repub-
lican candidate. To them Mr.. Mckinley
said
II address you not as Republicans nor
Democrats, but rs countrymen and
friends. Your glorious old state has al
ready registered a verdict in favor of
one of the principal issues involved in
this campaign. | do not believe that in
the past twelve months the Kentucky
people have changed their opinions on
the questions of honest money and public
honor. Great applause and cries of No,
no. Kentucky has usually been Dem
ocratic state. and in 1876 gave that
sturdy Democratic statesman, Samuel
j. Tilden of New York. an unprecedent-
ed popular majority for President. His
memory is doubtless revered by many OF
your Democrats today, and venture 10
send by you this message to them in Mr..
Iilden's own words.
'In his celebrated joint debate with
Horace Greeley, in 1910, Mr.. Tilden said:
An unstable currency produces instabil-
ity of prices and is peculiarly injurious
to the farmer. He ought not to be sub
ject to the tremendous agency of an I'M
seen cause. which may disappoint his
wisest calculations and overwhelm him
in constant ruin, but he ought TO be Sc
cured in the tranquility of his iresid9
from the curse of an unstable and con-
ficting currency Great applause.)

then; they are true and honest words
now, and commend themselves 70 the

Money and Sound Principles.
One of the earliest parties was made
mp of farmers from Monroe county,
Mich. to whom Maj. Mckinley said:
Il have never believed. as some peo-
pie have been saying, that there was
ever any danger about the state of Mich
igan. There has never been moment

contest of 1896 No state in the Union

mines, the products of your forests, from
undue competition than the state of
Michigan. (Applause) And there is
no state that is more deeply interested

state of Michigan. (Applause.)
There is one thing that the Repub-
lican party is dedicated to, and that is to
labor first; then to law and order. These
are indispensable to the welfare of man

and the permanency of the republic.

THE GREATEST DAY OF THE CA1PAIGN

"There is one thing that can be said
about the Republican party-it can eele'
brate the anniversaries of all the great
American statesmen, no matter TO what
party they may have belonged. who
stood for the country and it's honor.
We have no difficulty in celebrating, TOO,
with our Democratic friends, the ami
versary of Jefferson, Jackson and Ben
ton. We celebrate those anniversaries
with the same satisfaction that we eele-
brate the anniversaries of the early
statesmen who were more nearly OF our
political belief.
when we reflect the development of
all this wealth is in n state of less than
10000 square miles, and among people
not yet 100000 in number, we can be-
gin to realize how great is our country.
Can it be possible that such a magnli-
cent commonwealth will ever lend her
influence to free silver, free trade, dis
honor and partial or entire reputation
cNo no, never.D No. | say, forever no.
What the people of this country want,
whether they dwell in Michigan or Ten
nessee or Ohio, is a policy that will pro-
tect and defend every American inter
est against the outside world, from any
quarter. What we want is a tariff put
upon foreign goods high enough to not
only give us revenue enough TO run the
government, but to afford adequate pro-
lection to every American industry and
occupation. This is the policy of the
Republican party.
"What we want is to restore a policy
that will enable us to pay as we go,
both government and people. We have
not been doing that for four years past.
/ am sure your great and grand state
can be relied upon to enroll itself in the
column of national honor as against re-
pudiation, of a protective tariff, reci-
procity and the maintenance everywhere
of public order, tranquility and the SUI
premacy Of law"

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.
Large Delegations from Ohio and Other
states Greet Maj. Mckinley.


Another large and interesting delega-
ton was made up of commercial travel
ers, mostly from Ohio and adjoining
states. They were addressed by Mr..
Mckinley as follows:
y on have discovered in the last four
years that II is good deal safer TO con-
SUIT markets than maXims. You have
discovered that prices current and actual
experience IN trade and commerce are a
better guide TO business prosperity than
anything YOU can find in the text books.

more interested in the result of the cleo

business, and you have discovered that
you cannot sell if there is nobody to buy.

Laboring Men from All Parts of the state

Ne delegation was more cordially well
coined than that made up of railroad
men, dock men. farmers and miners from

slavery IS idleness. They talk about
making the workingmen slaves. There
is no danger of workingman ever be-
