Turin nud .Honey Speech.
Canton. O.. 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

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

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.

The question of Mr. Piatt's nomina

today, and was the all absorbing topic.
Mr. Plutt, however, was firm and Hald

Many of the delegates express the
opinion that Wadsworth will carry off

Secretary of State John Palmer has
telegraphed that he will be a candidate
for governor before the convention.
