them The Cleveland delegation fled into
Major Mckinley's yard and packed it
densely. The majors appearance on the
porch due worth a tornado of applause
which, in volume, intensity and dura-
ton. has not been equalled here The
president Of the First Voters Mckinley
club of Cleveland, Otto Snyder, introduc-
ed the callers TO Major Mckinley, who
spoke to them as follows:
L congratulate you upon having reached
your majority congratulate you on
having entered into the full possession of
sovereignty in the best government in the
world.
Having been born in the zventies. you
have enjoyed the most marvellous advan-
tases OF the nineteenth century. You
have escaped the extreme bitterness of
old party divisions and the passions of a
fratricidal war. You
CARRY NONE OF THE SCARS
of past party conflicts. You witness, only
reunited country under the old flag,
blessed in all its natural resources be-
yond any other country, and guffering
only because of the unWiSe policies al
ready inaugurated and the dangerous
policies yet threa tened. You approach the
exercise OF your sovereignty, therefore.
under the most advantageous circum-
stances, free from any past predictions
and prepared in calm judgment to con-
slider without bias the issues upon which
parties are divided.
THE ballot of the young man, as we'll
as that OF the old man, the ballot of the
first voter as well as that of all voters,
should always express the voice of truth
and conscience. 1t should represent the
calm and unbiased judgment # the voter.
1t should embody the highest welfare of
himself, his home, his community and
his country. 1t should never be false to
his convictions or opposed to justice and
honor either in public or private concerns.
1t should express, on its face, his best
hopes and highest aspirations as an in
d1VidUal citizen, and always represent the
great good TO his fellow countrynen.
May your votes, young gentlemen, he al
ways given to preserve our unity, our
honor, our flag,
OUR CURRENCY AND OUR CoUN-
TRY,
and to save your blessed inheritance al
ways from lawlessness, dishonesty and
violence. May your votes always be given
for a policy that shall give to US the wild
est development in our unmatched re-
sources, the widest incentive to the in
vention, skill and genius of our citizens;
The largest rewards to American labor
and the highest welfare of the people,
and promote the best ideals in American
citizenship
Addressing the Loganspcrt, Ind, dele
cation, Major Mckinley said:
Your presence is most gratifying to
me- It means that you have a deep con-
Germ for the welfare of your country,
and that you believe that the welfare
will be best subserved by a Republican
triumph on the third day of November.
If the financial plan advocated by our
allied opponents be practical and sound,
then the trainers of our constitution idled
away very much time and wasted very
much energy in advocating a plan to
conduct the government. If this new
departure, so-called be in any sense
practical, then we don't need any tariff
laws in this country, any customs or any
tax collectors any where, because if you
can make money out of nothing by the
mere breath of congress, then it is idle
to impose taxes upon the people to bear
the burden and expense of conducting
the government. If by mere fiat, whether
it be fiat TO the extent of 80 cents or to
the extent of hundred cents, IL the
government by a mere act of congress,
can make money. then all the work OF
Washington and Jefferson, Hamilton and
Clay, and all the financiers and states
men of this country, was mere idleness
and folly. But their work was not idle
or foolish. The government of the United
States cannot create something out of
nothing great applause), and the man or
the party that teaches that doctrine
teaches a false doctrine
After reviewing the tariff. he concluded:
There never was a Republican purpose
that did not seek the honor and integrity
of the United States. There is one thing
our old party never did-it never struck
a blow, except for human freedom"
Great applauSe.)
