Philadelphia, oct. 24.-The Ameri-

reached home from the victorious trip
to Chicago few minutes after -
o'clock this evening and were given a
rousing reception by a crushing crowd
of baseball fans, headed by Mayor
Reyburn.
Although extra precautions had been
taken to prevent the crowd from en-
tering the Pennsylvania Railroad sta

the railroad officials. Huge gates had
been erected at the entrances to Broad
street station and no person was al
lowed to reach the train floor who did
not have railroad ticket.
Not to be outdone by this piece of
strategy hundreds of the most ardent
followers of the champions lined up
at the ticket windows and purchased
tickets to nearby stations, thereby out =
whiting the railroad officials and at
the same time crowding the big sta :
ton to overlooking. A hurry call was
sent to nearby police stations and
about 300 policemen were soon on the

CUMMINS IN CHICAGO.
Talks Of Party Harmony Before Ham,
iton Club.

Chicago, Oct. 24-The speechmakins
phase of the Republican congressional
campaign began tonight, when Senator
a. B. Cummins of Iowa, speaking under
the auspices of the Hamilton Club, ad-
dressed a meeting at Orchestra hall. The
keynote of his speech was what he term
ed the fallacy of voting for Democrats
when the only hope of getting desired re-
forms was to elect Republicans.
In beginning his address, Senator Cum
Minis said that it would be a matter of
regret to him if the criticism of his al
legged heresies should become an embar-
rassment to the club.
Il believe" said he that 1 am in per-
feet sympathy with the purposes of this
club, but it ought to be understood in
the very outset that neither the club as
a whole, nor any individual member is tC
be held responsible for the view that
may take of public affairs. nor for the
form in which I shall express my juds-
ment upon the political situation
The speaker declared he had no inten-
ton of presenting bouquets to those of
his party, however upright. who, from
his standpoint had dsregarded party
principles and mis-applied party doc
trines.
IF there is no basis for party unity IT
the coming election other than the trans
parent pretext that there have been nc
material differences among us. the Ell
fort to get together will be dismal fail-
ure." he continued. I'VE all know. and
it is an excusable blunder even to at
tempt to conceal it, that If every Re'
publican who feels that we did not re-
wise the tariff as it was in our party
platform votes the Democratic ticket III
November, there will be Democra'ie
House of Representatives or If every ne
publican feels that If some of the pro-
nosals made by Republican leaders in tht
last Congress for the regulation OF com
mon carriers were reactionary ana un'
fair. shall give his vote to the Demo
cratic candidate, Republican victory Is
impossible"
