M'KINLEY TO VETERANS.
Old Soldiers Urged to Stand Up for the
Gold Standard

Old Soldiers Urged to Stand Up for the
Gold Standard.
CANTON. Ohio, Aug. 81 Farmers,
sey county arrived here yesterday
after trip through flooded lowiands
nearly all of the way from Cambridge.
After eX-Congressman j. e. Taylor
and Rev. W. M. Mcfarland of Cam
bridge had spoken, Mr.. Mckinley re-
piled at some length, saving:
when the war closed there were
two great debts resting upon this gov
ernment One was the debt due TO the
men who had loaned the government
money with which to carry on its mil
itary operations. The other debt was
due to the men who had willingly
offered their lives for the preserva ton
OF the American union. The old SOL
dlers waited on their pensions until
this great debt of the government was
well out of the way They waited
patiently until the government of the
United States had reduced nearly two
thirds of that great money debt.
They wanted every dollar of the debt
paid in the best coin known to the
commercial world. And every dollar
of that debt up to this hour has been
paid in gold or its equivalent-th
best recognized money of the world
and every dollar of that debt, my
comrades, yet TO be paid will be paid
in the e"me unquestioned coin.
Most of that ebt is out of the way.
The great debt of this government
now is to the surviving soldiers of the
republic. There are $1,000 pension
ers on the honored pension roll of this
government to-day and the govern
ment pays out of its public treasury in
pensions over $40, 900, 600 every year to
the so ;iers and sailors, their widows
and their orphans. Every dollar of
that debt must be paid in the best
currency and coin of the world. Great
cheering and cries of The Republi-
can party will see to that.:) There
is nobody more interested in main
tanning sound and stable currency
than the old soldiers of the republic
(cries of you are right, major''), their
widows and their orphans.
Your old commander, General
Grant (applause), whose memory is
cheris ID by all of you, performed
two great and conspicuous acts while
President of the United States; one
the veto of the initiation bill that
would have cast us upon the sea of
deprecated currency, and the other
was the signing of the act for the re-
sumption of the specie payments, that
placed every dollar of our money upon
the sound foundation of financial
honor and upquestioned national
honesty; and the old soldiers this
year, as in all of the years of the past,
following their old commander, will
stand by the financial honor of the
government and will no more permit
our nations integrity to be questioned
than they would permit that flag
(pointing to an American fag) to be
assailed.''

CoNsTANTINoPLE, july 80. AS re-
suit of cabinet council, the Turkish
government made formal complaint
to the government of Greece regard
ing the alleged shipment of arms and
ammunition from Greece to the isla nd
of Crete, fer the use of the insurgents
there, and relative to the appearance
of armed bands in Macedonia, point
ing out the danger the-efrom to the
peace of Europe and adding tha t
Greece would be held responsible
for it.
The Turkish government also an
nounced that it had been decided to
grant limited concessions to the Gre
tans and that they would be allowed
representatio
The powers. it is stated, have de-
cided to send collective note to
Greece declaring that the government
of the latter country must suppress the
matters complained of by the Turkish
government, otherwise the sultan OF
Turkey will be left to restore order in
Crete. 1t is runored here that the Tur
kish government intends to dispatch
force of AlbanIans against the Greek
filibusters, which will undoubtedly
add consicerab bly, to the gravity of the
situation.

TARIFF AND FINANCE.
Mr. Hanna Declares They are the Mafl
Issues.


| Issues.
| NEW YORK, July 80 O-FrederclS s.
Gibbs, national Republican comrnit-
teeman from this state, was one OF
| the few favored guests at n meeting
of the Eastern managers with Ma
! tional Chairman Hanna to-day.
Whether Mr.. Hanna looked upon Mr..
Gibbs as a personal representative OF
Mr.. Platt or not, the fact is patent
that Mr.. Gibbs does represent that
| faction of the Republican party in
New York. Mr.. Hanna said: Mr..
Platt was not invited to the meeting
simply because he is not Il member of
the committee Mr.. Gibbs, the New
York state national committeeman,
was invited by me to attend so that
| he may be kept in touch with the
| plans that may be formulated. MIR.
| Gibbs is New Yorl1s national commit
| teeman, and is responsible in a large
measure, by virtue OF his position, for
the result in this state. | feel conf
dent that the Republican party in
| New York state will work harmonic
ously for Mr.. McKinley's election. "
John Wanamai1er of Philadelphia,
| ex-PresIdent Harrison and Mr.. Hanna
met at the Fifth Avenue hotel last
night. Mr.. Hanna declined to go in
to details as to the questions discussed
by the trio, but said: MIR Harrison
will give us all the assistance VIC may
require of him"
The most important question to be
| discussed will be as TO the lines upon
which the campaign will be con-
Quoted. Frank s. Withcrbee and a
de!egatio representing the American
Protective League will argue in favor
OF making the fight upon the tariff
lines, while Melville T.. ingalls, and
others of the financial and corpora
tion world will ask that the financial
question be kept uppermost. 1t IS en-
tirely probable that Mr.. Hanna's ad-
vice to the committee will be for
working on both these platforms as
closely bound to each other Mr..
Hanna said to-day: THE financial
and tariff questions cannot, in my
judgment be divorced. Our financial
depression or prosperity is due in the
greatest measure to our tariff condi-
tions. Mr.. Mckinley shares this view
with me"
In carrying out this view Mr.. Hanna
will suggest that the Tariff league
prosecute the fight vigorously on it's
own lines, and that those interested
in the financial question do similar
work. the national committee giving
assistance. 1t is planned that an inn
mense amount of literature will be
distributed.
Mr.. Quay was in consultation with
Mr.. Hanna for about an hour, but
neither would say what the especial
subject of their consultation was.
The nominee for vice president,
Garrett A. Hobart, arrived subSe--
quently and was closeted with Mr..
Hanna for some time. At the con-
clusion OF the interview Mr.. Hobart
said: II have told Mr. Hanna that L
intend staying in New Jersey during
the campaign. frequently coming over
to New York headquarters l had
plenty of experience in campaign e.

When an incident like the following
occurs right here ut home it is bound
to carry weight with its readers. When
SO many strange occurrences go the
rounds OF the press; are published as
facts; when the intelligent reader
knows they cannot be true, there is no
wonder that people become skeptical.
On one subject skepticism is rapidly
disappearing. This is do to the actual
personal experiences of our citizens
and their public utterances regarding
them. The doubter must doubt no
more in the face of such evidence as
this. The public statement of Il reputa-
BILE citizen living right here at home,
one whom you can see every day, leaves
no room for the skeptic to stand on:

Now that the political atmosphere is
clearing it is to be hoped that business
will settle down and all will be ready
to bury the political hatchet and all
will be harmonious. For the last few
weeks Belpre has been in an uproar.
The Popocrats attempted to make
display by parade. Unfortunately it
was bad weather and was not a success
A week later another was gotten up
with better success. The glove was
thrown down for the Republicans OF
the Rockland Mckinley Club to take
up, which was promptly done by the
boys, and on last Saturday the parade
was made with favora BILE weather F.; the
day being all that could be wished for.
The line was formed at Porterfeld and
marched to Belpre and returned to
Howe's grove, where speaking was
listened to from several speakers by an
enthusiastic assembly made up largely
of voters and ladies. Lookers-on ed
mitted that it was the finest display
that had ever been seen in Belpre. At
the head of the procession was q four
horse team loaded with sixteen young
ladies and one young man, followed by
u wagon with sixteen young boys and
one lady, then another team with six
teen ladies and one gentleman, who
looked rather lonesome. These wag-
ons had appropriate banners and mot
toes, the starry flag being on every
team throughout the procession. Bunt-
ing was on nearly every house through
out the line of march, and before the
procession was dismissed the Pops were
securing the country for the third time
and made the remark that they would
discount it on Monday and on Tuesday
snow the Republicans under and on
Wednesday bury us SO deep that we
would never be able to dig out. The
procession Monday was formed at Por-
ter6eld and proceeded to Belpre and
then returned to Simpsons grove,

trolled by the Chairman OF the meet
