Aug. 2X Residents of Lawrence county. Pa., particularly of New rustle and f:ivnod City, came to Canton yesterduy to pay their respects to Major McKinley. The party num bered more than 2.0W men and was the largest that had visited here since the nomination in St. Louis. The visit wus also notable for some of the most novel feutuivs ever Introduced In a political demonstration in tills vicinity. Prom inent among these was a fully equipped steam calliope, which brought up the rear of the procession to the McKlnley house with a series of lively shrieks, and u small cannon, drawn by a de tachment of old soldiers and tired at Intervals along the march. It was fir ed In front of the McKlnley home and nt every railroad station along the road. The delegation also carried some peculiar banners, some of the inscrip tions being: "16 to 116 Men Out of Work to One who has Employment." "We P.ally Around Our Standard Rtarer for Sound Money nnd Protec tion," "We are Part of 200.000 Men Who Are Out of Work In the Keystone State." "Down with' the Anarchists." "Free People, hut Never Free Sliver." "flood-by, Hryan, Good-by," "All Who Voted for Abraham Lincoln In 1800 ure Asked to Join ls," "No Ten-cetit-u-day Chinese Monetary System for l'S." "We Want our Idle Furnaces, Fac tories, and Mills Started, und not to Make the Stiver Miners Klch. r," "Give us the Prosperous Days of the McKln ley Tariff." The party Included a delegation of tin makers and a sample of their pro duct was a large tin horn twenty feet long Willi half a dozen mouthpieces and borne by as many inert. They carried tin canes, wore tin caps and tin plumes. Kvery member of the delegation wore a keystone shaped tin badge. The delegation was accompanied by three bands and two drum corps. They were met ut the depot by the usual escort of Canton horsemen and footmen and an Imposing parade was organ ized und marched throiigh a drizzling rain to the McKinley home. Colonel Oscar Jackson acted as spokesman of the party and said the people of the delegation regarded Major McKlnley as a neighbor and friend. "These visitors," he said, "represent ali classes of citizens of our country, farmers, merchants, students, profes sional men. workmen from mines, mills, and factories, but they are one In senti ment nnd here to honor you as the most distinguished friend of the Ameri can system of protection. We know that this system benellts all classes equally and we have enjoyed a fair share of the prosperity that attends It. L'uUer it our country hus been devel oped, weulth has accumulated, and the wages paid out by great Industrial plants at New Castle, h'lwood. und oth er towns have brought plenty to many thotieunds of homes." MAJOR McKINLKY S SPEECH. When Major McKinley stepped Upon the chulr to respond there wus tumul tuous applause. W lien order was final ly restored he said: .Mr. Jaekxuti and My Fellow Citizens of Lawrence county: It gives me a very Hitut pleasure to welcome the citizens of u neighboring stute to my city and to my home. I note with satisfaction the mes sage which your eloquent spokesman InlllK to me. that the people of Pennsyl vania have lost none of their devotion to the great principles of the KepuLiiirmi party anil thai this year they will give to the Kepublleun national ticket an un rivalled Hepuhliiau majority. Idles of "We Kill ilo that ull ilKht." Nor am I surprised, my fellow citizens that this Is so. We have hud three years of hitter experience under a pulley which the Re publican party has alwuys opposed, and there lias been nothing In that experience to win us to that policy, but everything to inn-ease our devotion to the old pulley of pi ol eel ion which stands opposed tu 11. I Applause. 1 was glad to meet my distlnguihed Meml, Colonel Jackson, with whom I served In the congress of the 1' lilted plates, und to again hear his eloquent Voice, us 1 have often heard It In the hulls of the national hoU8e.speal.lhK for I he great doctrines of the Hepuullcan party, the success of which Involves the highest prosperity and welfare of the American people. ICheers.) My fellow citizens, the earnest thought of the people this year Is directed to the pressnt condition of the country, and how bet to improve It. This Is the thought r every mind and the prayer of every quill. Nobotly is satisfied with our un fortunate business oonditloti, und the great body of the people want and mean to have a chanxe. What shall the change be? Shall It be the continuance or the present Democratic parly under another leadership (cries of "No, no", a leader ship advocating all the policies of the Uemocratlc party which have been In jurious to the American people, ami reject ing oil which are good, wholesome, und putrlutlc, nnd which have received th"e ap proval of the people of the country? Oreut cheering and cries of "No." One wing of the Democratic party, which controlled the Chicago convention, is Just as much In favor of free trade as the wing of the Democratic party In con trol of the administration. (Applause and cries of "Thufs so."J Most of thoe prominent In that convention were con spicuous leaders In the assault upon our industries and labor made by the Fifty third congress. They are devoted to this un-American and destructive policy, and were chiefly instrumental in putting upon the statute books tariff legislation which has destroyed American manufacturing, checked our foreign trade, and reduced the demand for the labor of American worklngmen. Ioud cries of "You are right."1 It stands opposed to reciprocity, too, the splendid results of which were so signally manifest during the administration of President Harrison. lApplause. The people of this country have condemned the policies of this party In these par ticulars In every election since 18H2. Ap plause.) .They are only waiting now for a chance to register again and all along the line unitedly their opposition to this free trade heresy In the general election next November.. TApplause and cries of "We can hardly wait till the election. Major." If there was, therefore, but one question, that of protection against free trade, we have It Just as sharply drawn and as dis tinctively presented through the Chicago convention wing of the Democratic party as we hal It through the united party In 1802, and a triumph this year for the Chicago platform would be a signal vic tory for free trade legislation, which has already resulted so disastrously to ths American people and entailed upon the government deficient revenues and upon the people diminished trade abroad and starvation wages at home. (Cries of "That's so." FHKK TTtADR AND t'KEK SILVER This wing of the Democra.'c party bet lieves nut only In free trade, but it be lieves In free silver at a rullo of 10 to I. Cries of "Itowu with free silver." Hav ing diminished our business they now seek to diminish the value of our money. Having cut wages In two, they want to cut the money In which wages are paid In two, and we will not have cither the one or the other. Tr',inendoiis cheering and cries of "Hurrah for McKlnley. " The other wing of the Democratic party Is patriotically standing fur the public honor mid Is opposed to free silver, be cause It believes that such a policy wool J disturb existing values, contract the cur rency of the country by depriving us of the use of gold and put us on a sliver basis, thus creating widespread panic and brihgitig to every American Interest seri ous Injury. My fellow ctizens, will the people turn to that party for relief crles of "No, no" whose pulley has created the conditions under which we are suffering and from which they ure crying out to be relieved? I Kenewed cries of -"No, never." What we wunT now is business activity und con. Ildence. With business confidence re stored, muney will Invst in private and public enterprises, and when so Invested labor will be well rewarded anil the toll of the husbandman will he fully requited. IGreat applause. Without confidence, money will be hoarded and the wheels of industry stopped, and what that means many of the men before me know. I A voice, "We have lived on sunshine too long." Then the farmer, the merchant, the manufacturer, the lahorer, anil those of other useful occupations nllke will suffer. Gentlemen, conliileiice' lies at the foun dation of active nnd successful business operations. We ennnnt restore coiilideuce by a proposition to debase the currency of the government and scale down public anl private obligations. Such u proposi tion strikes at the very life of credit a.Tl business. It makes it harder to get money for legitimate and worthy enterprises by deliberately proposing to pay back wh it has been already otirrowed in n ilcpredat. ed currency. Idles of "You me right. " The people. Irrespec've of party, will unite in liel'eiitir.g a llnanclal scheme which will coniisi ute the partial earnings or labor In the savings banks and building ami loan associations and the Investments of the people in insurance companies, and I do not believe that the American people will ever consent to have the pensions of our soldiers repudiated by a single farth ing. (lreat cheering and applause. The people want nether free trade nor free sliver. Cheers. The one will degrade onr labor, the other our money. Ap pluuse. We ure opposed, unulterubly op posed, to both of them. We have tried the one in a modilled form with disastrous results to every American home, and we are strongly opposed to making an ex periment with the other. I Applause.) Sly fellow citizens, the people hnve a chance this year to take the Wilson law off the statute books and tint a good American protective luw In its place len thuslstlc cheering ami cries of "They will do that all rlght!" which will provide adequate revenues for the government and gladden the home of every American workingniaii. IGreat applause and cries of "Hurrah for McKlnley!" They have a chance this year to prevent u free silver law from going on the statute books, and thus keep our money of every kind now In circulation as good as gold and preserve our national name above reproach. Id les of "They will do that, too!" if they do not Improve flic chance now. J hey will not have such another opportunity for four years. Hoes the wnrkliigmun, the manufactur er, and the fanner want the Wilson bill to remain on the statute book four years longer? H'heerlng und cries of "No! No!" Do they want reciprocity, which will give us a foreign market for our sur plus agricultural and manufactured pro ducts, to remain off the statute books for four years more'.' Iteiiewed cries of "No!" Do they want any law enacted which would compel them to receive for their wages and products dollars worth less than 1(NJ cents? Idles of "No!" These are questions which every voter In the country must answer in his conscience and by his vote next November. Gentle men, what shall the answer he? Idles of "Klect .McKlnley," followed by tremend ous cheering. I thank you most heartily for this call and for your expression of good will anj for the assurance which Mr, Jackson has given me of your unfaltering support of Itcpiililieaii principles. If will afford me sincere pleasure, I assure you, to meet every one of you personally. (Applause and cheering. Major McKlnley was followed by F. L. Polster, who spoke, briefly for the visitors from Klwood City und I. A. Todd, who presented the .Major with a steel-tubed cane. Then there was u season of hand-sliakltig, mid the visit ors dispersed and spent the remainder of the day in looking ubotit the city. A revolving flower Hand of liutidsome de sign was also presented to Mrs. Mc Klnley by the delegation. FAKMK.RS WILL RIO UUCKIVKU Major .McKinley expects to be un commonly busy this week. He will muke two speeches on Monday, one to u delegation of fanners from Knox county. Ohio, and the other to a num ber or Potters und other citizens of Eust Liverpool. There have been a great many farmers in several of the delega tions which lutve come to Cuutoii. but there has been no delegation composed exclusively of farmers, und the one coming tomorrow will be the (Irst of that description. The farmers have not come In large delegations for the rea son that they have been very busy since the nomination of Major Mc Klnley. t'pwards of a thousand are coming on one excursion, und a good many letters have been received here from, farming communities Indicating that the desire to see Major McKlnley is widespread. Major McKinley's speech to the far mers who call on him tomorrow will be scanned with unusual Interest, for it will be his first direct talk In this cam paign to the class which Is said to be most generally and seriously in favor of free sliver. Hetween the first of this week and the third day of November Major Mc Klnley expects to make a great many speeches probably not fewer than llfty. He has already made hulf a hundred since his nomination and they have been collected and printed In a neat paper booklet which will be ready for distribution here tomorrow. There will be another edition of his speeches about the first of October. The demand for them Is so great, notwithstanding the fact that they are all published In the newspapers that It hat been found necessary to print them In book form. CHAIRMAN JONES WANTS MONEY An Appeal to Plain People for Cash for Campaign Purposes. HE DESIRES TO EXPLODE FALLACIES It' America t'nunot Have Its Own Finiiiicitil Policy, He Stales, We Are ludecd the Playthings of Aliens nud the Prey of l'urer-t'oiitribu tors May Be luon the Hull of Honor. Chicago, Aug. 23. The following ap peal for cumpuign funds hus been made In an address "to the people of the I 'nlted States": The Democratic party In the present contest Is engaged in the defense of the plain people against the encroachments of the favored classes. This Is purely an economic issue. In Its Importance, how ever, it overshadows every question Which has occuped public attention since the tragic campaign of lisim. It presents the alternative at once imperative and ter rible. It is Imperative because delay may take from us the possibility of choice, and terrible because of the dire conse quences which must follow failure. Is the American union l!g enough, strong enough und patriotic enough to have Its own financial policy? if not, then we are the serfs of the money chung crs of Europe und their agents In this country, and are doomed to a vassalage mors Ignominious and more degrading than that against which our fathers fought a century ugo. Our munhood, our freedom, the fruits of our industry. In tegrity of our homes, evrythlng that en lightened men hold dear all these are the playthings of aliens and the prey of usurers. , The American people are not ready to surrender the liberties for which their forefathers shed their blood. We believe that liberty and self-government are des tined to remain the heritage of this splen did nation; that w shall not be fated to become a living lie, a nation of sluves, callous and degraded enough to wear only the mask of freedom. ' We have allied against us In this contest j not only the financial forces of Knrope, but the subsidized press und all the mo I nopolies and trust companies here ut I home, who are determined. If possible, to fix forever their relentless yoke on labor I for all time. To oppose them we must rely upon the I patriotism and heroic manliness of the plain people the tollers who create the) wealth w hich speculators absorb. With un limited money in their hands, our ene mies are printing und distributing mis leading and untruthful statements; hired speakers und emissaries are everywhere attempting to mislead and delude the peo ple. wori.n DisTiti w'tu documents. To meet and counteract this we must distribute documents for the dissemina tion of the truth; we must explode their fallacies, their misstatements and their utter selfishness. To do so We need money at once and can only hope for help from the plain people. We ask only for the necessary means to conduct a vigorous and uggresslve cam paign No matter In how small sums, no matter what humble contributions, let the friends of liberty and national honor contribute ull they can to the good cause. To the overflowing treasury of the money power we will oppose the accumulated offerings of the musses fighting to be free, und ask the Killer of the universe fur His blessing. Wherever there is a bank or money or der office, remittances may be easily made to William P. St. John, treasurer of the national Democratic committee. Hotel Harlholdi, New- York city. A receipt will lie returned In every lustuiiee. When victory is achieved over the un scrupulous combination which Is en deavoring to thrust William McKinley Into the presidential chair, the recorded list of the contributors to this good cause will be o roll of honor of which uny one may well be proud. Vgned-Jumes K. Jones, chairman Democratic national committee. AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE. Peter Liko Is Carried Dow a with One Hundred Tons of Rock Into a Cavity and Remains Several Hours. Hnzleton, Pa., Aug. 23. While a number of miners were engaged yes terday morning in timbering up the? gutigwuy of the Colleruine colliery to prevent a second cave-In. u further squeeze took Place und before ull the men could get out the collapse came. Altcliuei ntugo wus magged rrom under the fulling rocks with his legs broken. A car wus being drugged through the gatlgwuy ut the time und C. Kority happened to fjrub the end und while the place was closing in about him wus drawn out with no worse Injuries than some bud bruises. Peter Liko, a laborer, missed the cur und wus left there. After the disturbance subsided some what rescuing putties ut tempted to go down after I.lko, but could not go ull the way. Liko wus 100 feet below, but bis cries could be distinctly heard. All the afternoon rescuers attempted to reuch him, but It was midnight be fore they got to the man and took him out alive. His escape from death 1st marvelous, as he wus carried down; with 100 tons of rock Into a cavity. He is now ut the hospital In a critical condition, but may recover. WILL SELECT A DEMOCRAT. Chnirninn Uynuni Hays a Cnndidnte M ill Be Nominated at Indianapolis. Indianapolis, Aug. 23. Chairman By num, of the national Democratic com mittee, yesterday said: "Any rumor to the effect that Mr. Cleveland has written to me or has in any way Indicated any Indisposition toward the nomination of a ticket Is utterly without foundation. Further, this convention will, without manner of doubt, nominate a Democratic candi date for president and vice president upon a Democratic platform." SOUND MONEY DEMOCRATS. New York Delegation M ill Be Per mitted to Name the Chairman. IndtanupnllB, Ind., Aug. 23. Sound money Democrats from throughout the country who drop Into headquarters of the national Democracy here to look over the ground and size up the pros pects for the convention, declare that the movement Is gaining: strength be yond their expectations and Is develop, ing a force they little hoped for when they launched It. It la generally under stood among the members of the m tlonal committee that the New. York delegation shall be permitted to name the temporary chairman of the con vention and it is the supposition that It will select Bourke Oockran, though this can hardly be determined until the delegation arlrves on the ground the next day after the members are elected. For permanent chairman there bus been much talk of Senator VI his, of Wisconsin, but during the last few days Vilas has loomed up in large pro portions as a possibility for the presi dential nomination, and If this seems probable when the convention meets the permanent chairman will probably be tuken from the South, and there is much tulk of Senator Caffery, of Louis iana, and ex-(!overnor Jones, of Ala bama for the position. The corres pondence of the executive committee indicating a large attendance upon the convention is borne out by the hotel engagements' that hnve been pouring In since Friday night in a manner that at first tickled the Bonlfuces and now alarms them. GORDON REW ALIVE. The Cornell Student Who Disappeared in 1894 Will Return lo the. Near Future. Buffalo, Aug. 23. Frederick Gordon Hew, the Cornell student who disap peared on October 2, 1S94, and was supposed to have met with foul play, has been heard from. His father, E. B. Kew, of this city, received a letter from him yesterday dated in India, stating that he was in good health and bound for home. His reason for leaving col lege was that he found that his knowl edge of French and German was limit ed and was conlldent he would be un able to keep up with his class, and rather than fail, he believed It would be better to go among the people and learn the .language. One afternoon while at the lower end of Cayuga lake, and out for a walk there came over him a desire to leave that was Irresistible, and discouraged and tired, he followed this resistless force and left the country. After leav ing Cornell he went to New York, en gaging passage on a cuttle ship and working his way to Bordeaux, France. At this place he secured employment with an electric firm that was about to erect an electric plant In Central America. He sailed from Honduras In the early part of 189", visiting Jamaica, Martinique and Cuba, and then re turned to France, where he contract ed to look after the electric machinery of a tramp trading ship bound for the Kast Indies. His knowledge of mathe matics, physics and Latin has kept PI in employed and enabled him to see much of the world. The knowledge of his son's safety has brought great Joy to the family of Mr. Hew. Almost from the very first Mr. Hew firmly believed that his son was dead, lie said that he wus certain the young man hud been murdered and pointed to the finding' of his watch to substantiate his theory. He declared that he had other evidence, but what It was he refused to divulge. Mrs. Hew was eiiuully certain of her boii's fate. On the night before he went away she had a dream that he had been killed. This she took as a presenti ment. The shock of learning from his own son that he was still ulive wus almost too much for them, and neither the father or mother Is Inclined to speak on the subject of bis peculiar unions or to express un opinion re garding his real motives for leaving Cornell und home. PLATT IN CONTROL. The Anti-Orgnniutiou (Jets Into Camp Again, Sura toga, N. Y., Aug. 23. The guber natorial sltuutiou is practically un changed, that is so far as the prob able action of the 758 delegates to the Kepublleun state convention Is con cerned.

Mr. Plutt, however, was firm and Hald thut no friend of his would further ugitate the matter. The antl-organiza-tloti men have been familiar with this attitude of Mr. Piatt, unci it was to the surprise of everyone that they today Joined the Plaftites in taking up Mr. Piatt us a candidate.
