night when he approached the tariff ques-
ton at the conclusion of one of his most
remarkable addresses. 'Three cheers for

reached his climax

ley's voice when, after repeated attempts,
he responded to the home greetings of
thousands Of his neighbors and fellow cit
tzons His door yard and those Of his
neighbors were not large enough for the .
crowd. For blocks in every direction street
ears, trucks, delivery wagons and carr
riagcs blocked the streets An improvised .
platform at the pavement edge was. used |
Above this was an arch of electric lights /
resplendent with national colors. Busi- |
ness had been almost universally sus- /
pended at 80 o'clock TO allow an mer- /
camille people and employes OF their houses
to participate. A score of bands and drum
corps in the city volunteered their SER
vices, and were distributed I'm the parade
which marched to the Mckinley home.
This demonstration was the conclusion Of
an eventful day. There wore several dele

falo Italians and a carload of West Nir-
ginians.

''They are not only going to vote but
they are going to vote right, aS God gives
them to see the right, independent of old
party or political relations. 1t is not a
question of candidates. il is not a conten-

not a contention inspired by sectional con-
sideration but of devotion to the duty
which affects and inspires the great heart
of the American people Not since the first
shot went crashing against the walls Of

nation to the realization that civil war
had commenced, have the masses of our
fellow countrymen been aroused as they
