year, when Major Mckinley was conducting his
Presidential campaign from his front porch in

duction of those which occurred daily and
nightly last year.
The air echoed with the blasts of trumpots,
tho beat Of drums, the music of bands, and the
cheers Of marching crowds. Tho heavens wore
aglow and the streets were filled with marching
columns.
All this was due to tho arrival Of President

of Illinois and Senator Burrows Of Michigan,
who had been holding q meeting, were picked up.

time Of tho arrival Of the party. but Gen. Nc
