Pittsburgh, Pa. Nov. 8.-President
McKinley's trip from Canton toward
the national capital has been one con-
head of the nation. At every stop
there have been great outpourings of
the people. business has been sus-
pended, and many factories along the
line have added their thousands Of
workers-men and women-to those
who have joined in enthusiastic greet
ings. The president has appeared at
each stop. shaking hands from the
rear platform, and making short
speeches at the most important towns.
Mrs. Mckinley has received her share
of the popular tribute. men and wom-
en- struggling to present her with
flowers. Patriotism, the flag and the
volunteers uniform have figured ev-
erywhere, and the trip has been in the
nature of triumphal journey to the
capital.
First Speech.
The president made his first speech
of the day when the train arrived at
Alliance. The town had turned OUT
en- masse to meet him with bands and
banners. Workmen from the potteries
at Sebring came in their aprons, bear
ing transparencies showing their ma
jorities. The crowd surged up to the
train, to the imminent danger of
those massed in front. When the pres
ident appeared, there were deafening
cheers. to which he bowed and smiled
acknowledgment.
Another Speech.
In the big factory town of Salem
the smoke of many stacks hung over
the city and the myriad of workingmen
and working women gave the place the
aspect of hive of industry. A vast
concourse of people lined the tracks.
The president bowed his thanks, and
when order was partly secured he said:
"You are here to celebrate victory won.
not by single party, but by the people of
all parties. I go back to my public duties
at the capital encouraged by your conf
dence, but deeply conscious of the grave
responsibilities which your action of yes
terday imposes upon me. I can only ask
of all my countrymen their sympathy and
support in the solution of the great prob
lens that rest upon the United States; and
I am sure that all of us will humbly petit
ton the guidance of that Divine Ruler who
has never failed this government through
all it's vicissitudes from its beginning to
the present hour. thank you, and bid you
good afternoon" applause and cheering)
At Other Points.
At Leetonia and Columbiana there
were like outbursts, crowds besieging
the presidents car. No speeches were
made, but the president reached down
and shook many grimy hand. A driz-
zling rain began to fall, but this did not
deter big crowds from turning out at
East Palestine, Enon Valley, New
Galilee and New Brighton. At Roch-
ester 5000 people braved the rain and
darkness and gave fierce welcome to
the president during the momentary
stop. Many of the crowd clambered
up the rear platform after the train
started and hung on until their turn
came for handshake.
A Big Crowd.
It was pretty dark when the train
reached Allegheny, but a big crowd
was in waiting and delegation headed
by Mayor Diehl, of Pittsburgh, and
Mayor Wyman, of Allegheny, clam
bered aboard. They were received by
the president and warm greetings were
exchanged.
