 Canton, O.. Sept 93.-The delegations which called on Major Mckinley to-day were from the natural gas belts of Ohio and Indiana. The first visitors were from Wood county, Ohio They arrived about half-past two. The delegation was composed of first voters club of Bowling Green, rarts of the various re- publican clubs of the county and the Women's Mckinley and Hobart club. The delegation numbered six hundred. In response to the spokesman's remarks Major Mckinley in part said:
 "I cannot imagine a body of citizens more representative than that which I see before me to-day-men and women, old and young, workingmen and farm CTS, men of every profession and call ing in your county-and it indicates to me that no matter what may be as- serted in other sections there is no such thing known as classes in any quarter of Wood county. I am especially glad 
 women who have honored me with their presence to-day. They are a mighty factor in our progress and civilization, and they have been most potential in every crisis of American history. l am glad to know that they are interested in the party of good morals, good poll itics, good government and public and private honesty. (Great applause.)
 .'The presence of the young men who are to vote for the first time next Mo- vember Is to me an inspiring sight. wonder whether you fully appreciate the privilege and honor which you are so soon to have. I fear sometimes that few of us estimate suffrage at its true worth. It clothes us with sovereignty. It is a guarantee to our liberties and Through it our whole governmental machinery is conducted. It is price, less inheritance, It should express the intelligence and judgment and con science of the voter. It should never be employed for any base use. It should be exercised with courage, wisdom and patriotism. IL should never be thrown against the country, and should never represent public dishonor. (Great ap- plause)
 ''The circumstances when I cast my first vote I recall now, after thirtytwo years, with sensations of joy and sat isfaction. Inzthe crisis of war, on the very field of %ont1ict, my first vote was cast for Abraham Lincoln. It is to me a priceless memory that I could vote for the martyr to liberty, the enamel pator of a race and the savior of the only free government among men. (Great cheers.)
 You, gentlemen, did not have that privilege, but here will be some sat isfaction to you to vote for the party of Lincoln, which rallied the young men of the country around the banner of liberty, union and national honor between 1860 and 1865, and now sum- mons you under the same glorious banner, Seldom given to the first vot- CTS of this country to start in so im- portant a national contest where so much is involved and where so many things are at stake. It is always safe, young gentlemen, to array yourselves on the side of your country. It is all ways wise to stand against lawlessness and repudiation. It is always patriotic to stand against those who are opposed to law and order and who would raise artificial barriers between classes or sections in the United States. (Great applause.)
 q ventured a few weeks ago to sug- gest that it would be better to open IA1. II. of our political adversaries criticise the statement. They seem to think the way to open up the mills for example is to start yard stick factory. Daughter and applause.) Start the factories and the money will flow from bank and vault. Start the factories and put American machinery in opera tion and there will not be an idle man in the country who is willing and able to work there will not be an American home where hunger and want will not disappear at once and there will not be farmer who will not be cheered and benefited by his improved home mar kets and by the steadier prices for his products" (Applause)
 The second and last delegation to- day came from Muncie, Ind. In re- sponse to the spokesman Major Me- Kinley said:
 q believe in America for Americans native born and naturalized. I be- lieve in the American payroll and I do not believe in diminishing that pay roll by giving work to anybody else under another flag while we have got an idle man under our flag. (Tremen- dous applause).
 ''The chief cause of complaint of our opponents is first, that we have not enough money and second that our money is too good.
 "To the first complaint, I answer that the per capita of circulating medium in this country has been greater since the so-called crime of 1873 than ever be- fore. and that it has been greater in the last five years than ever it was in all our history. We have not only got the best money in the world, but we have got more of it per capita than most of the nations of the world. Some reason other than the lack of volume | of money must be found to account for 1 the present condition of the country.
 gro the second complaint-that money is too good-it would seem tc be enough to say that the money oi any country cannot be too good. Be 1 fore the war we did business with an uncertain and fluctuating currency | I-po1,,o aS Sfato hank money The tOt la
