CANTON, Oct 3.--Today was the most
notable for delegations yet experienced. In
the enormous crowd present twelve states
were represented by delegations ranging from
small clubs of wheelmen to many trainloads
of citizens representing all interests. The
demonstrations began early and continued
until late, special trains arriving at short
intervals from early morning till late after
noon. Major Mckinley addressed sixteen
audiences on his lawn. The audiences rep
resented many delegations, as many seven
being included in one audience.
The reviewing stand. from which the major
is accustomed to review parades and street
demonstrations was re-erected on the front
of the lawn. All day the streets were filled
with marching clubs uniformed bicycles,
bands and drum corps and Kaleidoscope
effect was ever in view with the shifting
banners flags, streamers, decorations and
other campaign paraphernalia. The most
elaborate demonstration of the day was
made by the wheelmen, under the auspices
of the National Wheelmen's Mckinley and
Hobart club The incessant rain OF the past
week interfered materially with the pro-
posed overland trip, but many came by train
and in the parade and at the meeting ad-
dressed by Mckinley, clubs from twelve
different states were represented. The ad-
dresses on behalf of the wheelmen were
made by X. p. Walker, president; w. p.
Williams, vice president and w. w. Watts
member OF the executive committee. Among
the delegation addressed were: Venango
county, Pennsylvania delegation, the stu
dents of Wooster university, the Union Vet
eran Patriotic league and the Allegheny
County War Veterans club, the Tamina club
of Cincinnati a committee representing the
mechanics and silversmiths employed by the
Mauser Manufacturing company of New York
and Chicago, who presented Major Mckinley
a magnificent gold loving cup and delega
tion, representing the Bohemans and Sla-
vonians of Cleveland.
FIRST CAME EARLY
The day dawned bright and clear and
was in every way auspicious for the
big demonstrations scheduled. Two dele
cations were in before the city
was astr. One came from Harrisburg
and Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, and
reached here about o'clock. special
train of five day coaches and two Pullmans
brought the party. Captain William ].
delegation, which arrived at 7:15, came
from Athens county, Ohio, and its caption
is the Sunday Creek Valley Mckinley
Clubs" One of the features is a glee club
with a double quartet of ladies. Other
trains arrived soon afterward, the railroads
having about twenty-five specials scheduled
for the day.
At about 9 o'clock the first party went
to the Mckinley home Addresses were
made by Captain William ]. George of the
Harrisburg News for the Pennsylvanians,
and by ]. NJ Allen of Gloucester for the
Sunday Creek valley people. Major McKin-
ley made the following reply:
My Fellow Citizens: 1t gives me great
pleasure to receive at my home my fellow
citizens of the commonwealth of Penn
syvania and state Of Ohio, and / could
not but be struck by the similarity of the
messages which have come from your
respective spokesmen to the condition
of the people in those two great states.
How similar they are. 1t is the cry of
distress going up from every part of our
common country. What men want is
business activity. What laboring men
want is work. We have discovered in the
last three years and Il half that we cannot
increase the output of the mines or the
wages of the miner by decreasing manu-
featuring in the United States. We have
discovered that less American coal is
required. If we do any part of our work in
Europe rather than in the United States.
We want a return of that policy which
will give the largest development to every
American Interest," that gives the widest
opportunity to every American citizen
that gives the most work and best wages
to every American laborer and secures to
our people the highest possible prosperity
in all their occupations. | cannot but
appreciate most highly this visit, made
at such Inconvenience and from so great
a distance to my home. The message
which you bring me of your regard and
good will / will always remember and
cherish.
1t is with peculiar pleasure that / well |
come this club from the capital city Of the |
great commonwealth of Pennsylvania. |

and profound interest which you have In

sented in this campaign. Both of the lead
