sounded by Republicans to-day. They were
emphasized in the addresses Of senator Lodge
and President Mckinley, as we'll as in those OF
the speakers who were called TO the front Of
the porch OF the Mckinley home, independent
OF the ohicial programme arranged for the
ceremonies OF notifying President Mckinley
Of his denomination.
They were a reiteration of the same sentiments
that the party leaders grew enthusiastic over
at the National Convention In Philadelphia,
three weeks ago, but they were presented in q
different setting and to a different audience.
The greater significance attaches to the latter,
for on this occasion the rank and file OF the
voters and not the leaders and the professional
politicians were strongly in the majority. Sena-
tor Lodge and the members of his Notification
Committee, National Chairman Hanna and other
members Of the Republican National Committee.
the prospective member of the Executive
Committee and the invited guests, all told,
numbered only about 200 Of the thousands that
crowded the Mckinley lawn, the lawns Of the
%neighbors and the contiguous streets for sew
eral blocks on either side. la this crowd were
the business and professional people of Canton,
augmented by representatives in similar lines
from Cleveland, from Akron, from Alliance
and from Msssillon and from the smaller towns
Of this neighborhood.

wogKINGMEN's CHEERS WATCHED.
1t was the cheers Of { hese workinsmen that
were watched with the greatest interest. And
their most lusty cheers were given to those
sentiments which pledged the party to main
tain the currency on the present standard.
notably the Presidents utterance:
I'VE have passed from a bond-issuing TO q
bond-paying nation, from a nation Of borrow
ers TO a nation OF lenders. from a deficiency
In revenue to a surplus. from fear to conf
denCe, from enforced idleness TO profitable
employment. The public faith has been up
held. public order has been maintained. We
have prosperity az home and prestige abroad
Almost equal in volume was the enthusiasm
aroused by all references to the war and It's
results and the obligations 10 new people which
IL has brought, The President was in happy
accord with his hearers when he said
The Philippines are ours and American
authority must be- supreme throughout the
archipelago. There will be amnesty, broad
and liberal, but no abatement OF our rights.
no abandonment Of our duty. There must
be no scuttle policy. We will fulfil in the Phil
ippines the obligations imposed by the triumphs
Of our arms and by the treaty Of peace. by in
ternational law. by the nations sense OF honor.
and more than all by the rights. interests and
conditions of the Philippine people them-
selves"
No sentiment expressed on the famous front
porch received a more hearty secondine from
the multitude in front than:
And to the party of Lincoln has come an
other supreme opportunity which it has bravely
met in the liberation Of 10000, 400 Of the human
family from the yoke OF imperialism"
