gathered at nearly every station. At
Alliance and Salem the crowds were par
ticularly large.

rear platform and shook hands with
many Of his old congressional district
constituents. Mem, women and chill
dren clambered on to the train. Many
reached into the car windows TO get a
grasp of the presidents hand. Eigh-
teen miles from home, at Alliance, the
Canton reception committee, headed by
Judge George Baldwin and dozen 9th
ers, boarded the train.
At Canton the crowd was so great that
the police patrol were kept busy making
way from the station platform to the
carriages. The organized parade Of cit
liens and militia, marshaled by Captain
Harry Freare, moved phomptly through
the streets with the stars and stripes
displayed from nearly every window of
the mile march to the home of the presi-
dents mother. Here Judge Baldwin de-
l:vered an address Of welcome, TO which
the president responded briefly.
Both Major and Mrs. Mckinley look
in better health than when leaving Can
