CANTON, o.. Sept. T.-Major Mckinley
made another notable speech to working
men to-day and his utterances We're re-
ceived with unbounded enthusiasm Peo-
pie who have heard all the Republican
nominees speeches during the present
campaign say the Major seems to be at
his best when addressing the working peo-
pie. There seems to be more magnetism
in his voice and words. This was espe-
clally noticeable when he addressed the
commercial travellers recently the Demo-
cratic Club of Clerks and others from Chi
cago and the toilers from Homestead Pa
His visitors to-day Were also from Penn
syivania. The delegation consisted of the
employees of the Edgar Thomson steel
works, at Braddock, Pa. They came via
the pennsylvania on a special train of
three sections of twelve coaches each. The
first section arrived at II 40 and the others
shortly afterwards. Fully two thousand
men We're in line in the parade which
marched to the music of the Sheridan
Sable and St Thomas bands. There was
cheering and hurrahing all along the line
At the Mckinley home hearty congratula-
tions and assurances of support were of
fered by j. L. Jones, of the electrical force
of the company, who was spokesman Of
the delega ton.

APsLEY Is OPTIMISTIC.
He Thinks Republicans VIII Carry
Nearly the Whole North.


WASHINGTON, Sept 17.-Representative
Apsley of Massachusetts, vice chairman of
the Republican congressional committee,
returned to Washington this merning from
an extended trip through the West. He
said: I'VE visited Michigan, Illinois, Iowa,
Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah. Ne.
vada. Oregon, Washington, Montana and
North Dakota. We spent a most pleasant
time in the Pacific-coast States. I never in
my life saw such enthusiastic political
meetings. The largest hall or theater in
the place was general much too small.
Even in Colorado we held two rousing
meetings at Colorado Springs and Colorado
City in one night within three miles OF
each other and such was the spirit Of the
Republicans that If we keep up the aggres-
sion which is now on We may confidently
expect to carry that State for Mckinley,
or at least that Senator Teller will be OBJ
liged to return home and give matters there
considerable attention.
THE sentiment in the Pacific States has
rapidly grown in favor Of Mckinley. In
San Francisco the meeting was great one,
thing tremendous. The party leaders there
are confident that California will be found
in the Mckinley column In many parts of
the State the sound-money sentiment is
strongly prevalent, and in the section
where there is a pronounced silver senti-
ment, the doctrine of protection has a
powerful hold and will serve to keep the
Republican line solid At Portland, Ore
the large theater was denseiy packed, and
hundreds were turned away. The same
may be said of the meetings at many other
points.
'Since our experience there it has been
decided l think wisely, bv the national
committee to send speakers from the East
to the Pacific slope. Senator John Sherman
is out there and it is hoped he Will consent
to make few speeches on the coast. After
carefully comforting with the represent
ativAmen in the party in the States named.
and thoroughly considering the situation as
presented, | am of the opinion that if the
national congressional committee continue
the aggressive educational fight that they
have been making, with cessation In
their efforts, the only States in the whole
North that need be conceded to Bryan are
possibly three or four of the mining
States"

The State Uf Nebraska enjoys the

nor. It is fortunate in having one Of
the best, purest and ablest men in the
State In that position. He is one Of the
most popular men in the State and
commands the respect Of all Of the people.
Hisstrongsst characteristics are firmness,
integrity and love of labor. He is one
of the hardest workers who ever occupied
the executive chair in any State. His
careful and methodicsl attention to
business has enabled him to fRmiliarize
himself with the smRlles details Of his
Office and Of the institutions under his
charge His first term is now drawing
to q close, and, whatever his future may
be, he will 60 down into the history OF
Nebraska az o monument OF sterling
integrity and will be remembered as the
working Governor,
Some points in reference to his life may
interest readers. He was born on
farm in Gibson county, Indiana, in 1858,
and is now 38 years old. When II he
left farm work and began teaching school
in order to earn money enough to obtain
an education. At the age of 20 his
father died and he became the head Of
the family. This grave responsibility,
with the attendant trials which he en-
oountered and overcame, developed in
him that determined and self-relisnt
character which in later life brought him
into prominence among his fellow men.
In 1878 the Holcombs moved to Ne
braska, and in the following year he
went to Grand Island to study law. In
1885 he settled at Broken Bow, where he
has since resided. He soon became q
leading attorney and was elected District
Judge in 1891. At this election his
Republican opponent pledged himself to
decline il reelected to permit no more
mortgage foreclosures until times i'm
proved, while Holcomb declared that he
would be governed by the law and his
oath Of Office and that he would enforce
all laws on the statute book. His
judicial career was 30 satisfactory that
he was nominated In 1893 for Judge Of
the Supreme court. He then ran 10000
votes ahead of his ticket and lacked but
1000 of being elected.
His campaign for Governor made in
1894 was a remarkable one. He was
nominated by the Populists and Demo
Gratis. A large majority Of the business
men of Omaha combined against him,
claiming that the election Of Populist
would injure the credit Of the State. An
association was formed, the motto Of
which was "Stand up for Nebraska"
and the test Of loyalty was a vote against
HolcOmb. In the face Of all this opOsi-
tion and after most exciting campaign
Governor Holcomb received $500 votes
more than his Republican opponent and
more votes than any other candidate for
Governor ever received except one.
