FIRES OF PATRIOTISM STILL BURN People Who EOtrged from the War with a Large It'.l-Uenriug Debt Will Not Seek to Repudiate One Uollur t'It or flicnpcn the Coin in Which It Is to Ue I'uid. Canton. Ohio.. Sept. 11. In replying to a delegation from Vermont, who called on him today, Majur McKlnley said in part: Some of Ihe newspapers have asked me to Interpret the results of the elections In Vermont on September first, but It seems to me that they are their own best Interpreter. (I.auiihter and npplaus"). They have simply declared what any stu dent of our history must already have dis covered, that your thoughtful and pa triotic citizens are as true us ever aye. truer than ever, to the tenets of good mor uls. Rood politics and good government. (Applause). They have shown by their ballots, by n greater preponderance than ever, that they are more devoted to the honor of the government, to Ihe mainttn nnce of law and order, nnd the restora tion of a sound, wise and economic sys tem which has always been our chief pride and source of strength, than at any pre vious period In our eventful history. (Ap plause. The value of your example Is certainly greater than ever In the past as the Issues on w hich your victory was won are tlie same as those which now engage the attention of the entire country. The free silver orators and organs of Vermo'it, illy concealed, if they did not positively assert, that which Is being proclaimed everywhere, that their solicitude is the re lief of the debtors, no matter at what sac rifice of the plainest precepts of good mor als. In no case and at no point do they propose a system to pay our national and private obligations on plain, old-fashioned principles of good faith and honesty which have always heretofore distinguished the American people. (Applause). Practically admitting that the effect of the free, un united and Independent coinage of silver would bo an Immense loss to the savings and resources of our people, and that Its adoption would reduce the plane of th-ir social and Industrial condition, they et seriously propose that we shall risk this hazardous experiment. Vcrtuon has said in tones that cannot be misunderstood, that she will have nothing to do with that fatal experiment. ((Ireat applause nnd cries of "good, good."). Indeed, I hey are urging us to attempt by legislation to make fifty cents worth of silver to pass current as a legal tender one hundred cent dollar, good for all public and private ob ligations. The mere statement of Ihe proposition ought lead to its instant rejec tion. We cannot by law make every man honest, but we certainly will never make a law encouraging iheni to be dishon-.'st. (Applause). To me, the ipustlon of fr" trade Is a ipiestlou of Immunity, the voice of labor pli-aiHmr for Us own, and the ipie: ilu of 'ree sliver is u question of public morality, honor and good fulth, and Its siicces would h a blot on our hitherto spotless national credit. (Applause and cries of "good"). Obscure the real Issues, and it linaly resolves itself into that, lull will It prtvuil? No, I answer, forever i.o. (Oheers). FAITH IN A.M I! HI CAN PKOPLK. The American people as a nation, like those or the state of Verriiont. ure entire ly above so unworthy on imputation. (Ap plause!. A people that could, us a weak and struggling confederacy of less than live million Inhabitants, emerge from an eight years' war of blight and destruction nnd proceed Immediately to gather up and pay on Its enormous revolutionary debt. Including the independent debt of all states, agregatlng $135,lKJO,tXW or $27 per cap ita at the time of Us assumption, will not falter nt the present temptation. (Cheers and cries of "that's right, good. good"!. A people whocotild tax themselves ni"st heavily to equip and maintain the armies and navies of the I'nlon and continue the most extensive and expensive war in his tory, will not turn their backs upon thu soldiers of that war, nor seek to pay their pensions In dollars worth only half their face value. (Ureal cheering and cries of "good"). A people who emerged from that war with un Interest bearing debt if $2,3s2.C"0.i. or $70 per capita for our en tire population In 1Ki!5, will not now, after having honestly paid three-fourths of that great debt, ever seek directly or indirect ly to repudiate one dollar of It or cheapen the coin of payment. (Applause and cries of "good. Major"). I say who proceeded in good faith to pay off that debt with such unparalleled rapidity, which It was esti mated In 1SH, up to that time, they had paid $12:1 for every minute of every day of every yeur from I8U5 to 1SS8, will not now palter, bargain or scheme to de fraud any creditor of the government, whoever or wherever he may be. (Tre mendous aplause and cries of "good, hur rah for McKlnley"), ' WILL PAY THE DEBT3. A people who hud the satisfaction of seeing thut debt reduced to $5H5,UU0.!hJil on Match S, 1SWI, at the c lose of the splendid administration of President Harrison (ap plause), will readily und quickly meet both the remainder of the old debt and all that hns been made since (laughter), nnd puy it off, principal and Interest, in the best money of the world and recognized by the civilized nations to both best at the time of payment. (Loud applause). Just as President Jackson paid olT tin last of the revolutionary debt, sixty years or more after the tlrst of It had been con tracted. This, my fellow citizens of Ver mont, Is the faith that the election in your state inspires in me, but that Is not all. In the verdict I see the unalterable de termination of the people of the United States, for whom she had the honor lirst to speak, to restore the protective tarilT system once more to our statute books. (Ureal, cheering), Vermont Is on agricul tural Btute, but her keen, sagacious und honest farmers know full well the value of protection and Its twin sister, reciproc ity. (Applause and cries of "that's right"). They have prollted by the experience. They have examined both their stock books and their store books, 'and they had plenty of timo to do It (laughter) in the last three years, and have learned that their products have been worth less than at any time for a long series of years. The farmers of this country want a pro tective tariff (applause nnd cries of "that's right, they do"), and they mean to have It (great cheering), so, too, will our farm ers everywhere divide, they are naturally conservative, and their unerring common sense and common honesty will lead them quickly to detect the fallacies or free sil. ver Just as they have learned the ratslty of the falluciea of free trade. (Applause), THE SPEECH ON LINCOLN. Mr. McKinley Pays a Tribute to the Memory of the Martyred President. Canton, O., Sept. 11. Three governors clasped hands with Major McKlnley to day and visitors from the Green moun tains of Vermont joined with others from Narragansett Bay, from North western Pennsylvania end from Ohio In greeting and cheering; the Republican candidate for the presidency. Major McKlnley had more than three thou sand callers today and shok hands with all of them and listened to their cordial words and expressions of Rood wishes. The first delegation to arrive was that rrom Vermont. An hour and a half after the Ver monters had departed the sound of marching feet und the inspiring music or bands were again heard and 2.500 citizens of Lorain county. Ohio, filed Into .Major McKinley's yard and wedged themselves Into an almost solid muss. Following closely after the Lorain county people was a delegation from Kile. Pa., consisting of the Lincoln club of thut city and delegates to the league convention recently held in Krie. The noonday sun was llery hot nnd three people succumbed to its ardent rays nnd were carried unconscious from the dense crowd which surged around the porch. When Major McKlnley ap peared there was a shout that was heard Mocks away. Judge John W. Steele, of Oberlln, spoke in behalf of the people of Lorain county. Judge J. F. Downing spoke for the Erie people. By consolidating the delegation from Lorain county with that from Kile, Pu .Major .McKlnley was able to make one speech answer for the visitors from both places. Ho said: MA.IOIS M KIXLKY S REMARKS. Ladles and gentlemen ami my fellow cltlzens: There are represented In this great as semblage todav citizens from the stale or Pennsylvania and citizens from our own state. There are assembled here Ihe citi zens of Lorain county. Dido, the Lincoln cluli. of the city of Krie. Pa., and repre sentatives of the IU-piiblican league uf the state of Pennsylvania, which only yes lerdav adjourned in the city or Krie. iou are lieie from different sections of the country, yo'i are here representing differ ent occupations und callings In life, but you ure all here with a common purpose, all here siih a niinnmii aim und all march ing under the same glorious old Hag. (Tre mendous riles of "Hurrah for .McKlnley"). I hid each and everyone of you welcome to mv home. 1 know many of my own rel ieve citizens or Ohio who do me honor by their vis-it today. (Applause). 1 know something of the gleal resources or Lo rain county and of its splendid agricid t iii-.il lan-ls, lis great port on the lake and Its manufacturing industries, but above all I know and value the splendid spirit or loyalty und patriotism of Us people, (lireat cheering). I bid the Lincoln dull, of the city of Krie. welcome lo my home. Von bear the most honored name In Re publican annals and none Is more illus trious In Die annals or our country a name which belongs noi to a single city, a single slate, lo any aggregation of dubs, but to the whole American people. It Is not the properly of any political party, but belongs to the utfes. (lireut applause). II Is full, of Inspiration and embolics ev ery Republican doctrine and represents tile best aims and purposes of American citizenship. I doubt if there Is any other name 'n American history which more fully t.v pities tlx possibilities and triumphs of American opport unity than that of Abraham Lincoln. ( 'heel's). LINCOLN'S I.1PK. His life and career put to shame the false doctrine now so Insidiously promul gated, that there are class divisions In the I'nlled Stales. iTremeiidous upplausc and clies of "good"i. lluuihle of birth, sur rounded by poverty, forced by circum stances lo acquire unaided whatever edu cation he had, lie forged his way lo Ihe rr.uit, reselling tile highest place In the gil'tli of a tree people and tlie greatest place in the world, (lireut applause and cries or ' We'll put McKlnley there too"). He demonstrated while In office wonderful ability and met every public exigency In the most tr;.ln;; years in our history with cunsuiniitat" saga city and strength. It Is gratifying to us to know that on the great questions which are dividing us this year, Mr. Lincoln sinnd from the beginning i f his early manhood where we stand to day. We have the satisfaction of know ing that In the present strangle we are close u him und have his approval uf lite great principles we advocate. (Applause), No man has shown more thorough knowl edge of the tariff nnd its effects upon do mestic prosperity than he. Porty-three yi-ara ago he made an uddress upon the s.ibject of tariff and taxation and their lullueiiee upon the condition of ihe coun try which I do not think has been ex celled by nuvbnily before or since. It Is peculiarly applicable to tlie present l.il uaiion. .Mr. Lincoln said: "The lirst of our resolutions declares a tariff of duties upon foreign importations, producing suf tlch nt revenue lor the support of the gen eral government ami so adjusted as to pro tect American industry, lo be Indispen sably necessary to the prosperity of the American people, and lite second ileelares direct taxation for a national revenue to be Improper." (Applause). Listen to his description of the condition or the coun try nt the lime when he spoke and how viv idly it portrays ihe times in which we live: "Por several years pasl tlie revenues of the govennnent have been unequal to Us expenditure and consequently loun lifter loan, sometimes indirect in form, has been resorted lo, by Hils means u new na tional debt has been created and Is still growing on us with rapidity fearful to con template a rapidity only reasonably to be expected In time of war," vou w'otild think that Abraham Lilc oln was describ ing three years from 1M to 1!!M. (Great applause i. Is ii any wonder then the national con Ventlon met in Chicago .May 17. IS'lil, the second uatlvtial assemblage of the great Republican party, that the following reso lution was passed which is the same doc trine that we advocate now : "Resolved, That while providing revenue for the support or the general government by duties on Imports, sound policy requires such un adjustment of these imports as io encourage the development of tne In dustrial interests or the whole country and we commend that policy of nation-il exchanges which secures to the working men liberal wages, to agriculture remun erative prices, to mechanics and manu factures an adequate return for their skill labor and enterplrse. und to the nation's commercial prosperity and independence." The Republican party has always been Ihe party of your lofty purposes, it never had an aim from the lirst moment or Its existence until now which did not em brace the common good or all. (Loud up plausc and cries of "that's right") Tt never rbught a battle ogainst liberty 'nnd equality (Applause). It never struck a blow except for mankind. (Applause). It was organized In conscience. (Renewed applause). No political party has been formed since the beirlntiing of time which so appeals lo the Intelligence, enthusiasm and conscience of the young men (and tlie old men) os the Republican purtv. ((treat appluuse nnd cries of "that's right") It never waged a contest In ull It's glorious past which more strongly appeals lo the best sentiments and the noblest alms cl both young und old as loday. It deals will! the problems and issues of the day wh'eh ure vital to the welfare or the country and maintains the lorty purpose which has characterized it from the beginning. It stands for country now and will guard with sleepless vigilance its honor as It guarded Its life in the mightiest crisis In our history. (Ureal cheering and cries or "you bet It will.") II.

DANGEROUS CREED OF TALKER BRYAN Attorney General Harmon's Opinions Upon States' Rights. DOESN'T ADMIRE CHICAGO PLATFORM The Attorney Gcuernl falls Atten tion to the Dangerous Elcmeuts of Mr. Bryan's Doctriue.-IIe Also Quotes from t'onveutiou Kesolu tions of 1894. Washington, Sept. 11. Attorney Gen eral Judson Harmon today made pub lic his views respecting; the political sit uation, especially emphasizing; his opin ion on the question of "federal Inter ference In local affairs," on which sub JecUlie attorney general does not agree with the protest embodied In the Chica go platform. Mr. Harmon's commun ication, which Is lengthy, says: "Mr. Bryan, in his letter accepting the nomination for president by the convention at Chicago, amplifies the protest which that convention made in Its platform against federal Interfer ence In local affairs, which strangely enough Is not found In the platforms of the other two conventions which have al?o nominated him. "These protests were Intended and nre understood to be directed against the recent action of the president in forcibly suppressing riotous disorders which had Btopped the carriage of th mails and lnter-state commerce and were defying the civil officers of tlie I'nlted States. The president took this action not only without the request, but In some Instances against the pro test, of the authorities of the states In which the riots occurred and Mr. Bryan taking section four of article 4 of the constitution to be the luw on the sub ject, pledges himself against any repe titions of the violation thereof, which Ids letter necessarily charges. He vin dicates the wisdom of the framers of the constitution by declaring that the local authorities nre better qualified than the president to judge of the nec essity for federal assistance. This, in my judgment is a far more serious matter than the money question or any of the questions now before the people, grave as they all are, "But by the1 express terms of the constitution a state has nothing to do with the maintenance of the authority of the executions of the laws of the i'nlted States within the territory oftho state. The prevention and punishment of offences connected with the mulls, with lnter-state commerce and with the administration of Justice in the federal courts, are committed to the generul government and to It alone. Therefore, the stt cannot require protection against them. The state has no duties to discharge in these matters. RK5HT OF THE UNITKD STATES. "This sovereign right of the I'nlted States necessarily follows Its oflicera nnd agents everywhere they go pro tecting and maintaining them in the discharge of their duties. Congress has accordingly by section 52H7 of the re vised statutes authorized the president to use the armed forces of the govern ment in aid of state authorities when requested by them as provided In the constitutional and also by the following section r.2!8, authorized him to employ such forces, upon his own judgment along, ugainst unlawful obstructions, combination or assemblages of per sons, In whatever state or territory thereof the luws of the United States may be forcibly opposed or the exe cution thereof forcibly obstructed. "It was under the power conferred by this last section that the lute re bellion wns suppressed. Mr. Hryan's doctrine that this law is unconstitu tional is more dangerous than that of secession." In conclusion, General At torney Harmon quoted a resolution adopted by the Senate on July 12, 1891, which was proposed by Senator Daniel of Virginia, who was president of the convention which nominated Mr. Bryan, endorsing the prompt and vig orous measures adopted by the presi dent and the members of his admin istration to repulse by military force, the interference of luwless men with the due process of the luws of the I'nlted States. MORE RIOTING FEARED. Shops in Unlntit nnd Mnmbnul Closed Because, of the Danger. Constantinople, Sept. 11. Pears are entertained here of a renewal of the recent disorders, and these apprehen sions have caused a panic among the general public. The shops at (lal.ita and Stamboul were closed at an early hour today, owing to a rumor that fresh manifestations were being organized. Trade is almost at a standstill, and the lack of money in the Turkish treasury is a serious feature of the situation. Fifteen army officers who went to the war office to claim their arrears of pay were informed that there were no funds with which to pay them. The officers thereupon resigned their commissions and were promptly arrested for so do ing. Democratic Headquarters. Harisburg Pa.. Sept. 11.

"IBT THE ENEMY'S COUNTRY." Dispatches tell as that Mr. Bryan's "future movements are indefinite." They nre unless he climbs down pretty soon. AGAINST MERGENTHALER. Commissioner of Patents Rules That W. S. Cudder Is the Inventor of the Linotype Machine. Washington Sept. 11. The commis sioner of patents husi reversed the de cision of tlie examlners-in-chlef In the case of W. S. Cudder vs. Ottmar Mer ganthaler as to priority of invention In line- casting machines and awarded the case to Soudder. He finds "that Sctidder conceived the Invention as an organized product of the intellect as early as May, 18!H), that he proceeded thence, under all the circumstances of the case, with reasonable dilligenee to the construction of hut complicated, costly, but entirely successful second machine in October, ISM, and therefore priority of Invention is a warded to Scud der and the decision of the examlners-In-chlef is reversed." The patent controverted by the In terference decided by the commissioner. It is said by one of the parties Interested In the case. Is for a minor part of the type setting machine and the decision will have no practical bearing upon the situation until after the expiration of the buslo patent of the Mergenthnler machine. NEW ORLEANS TROUBLE. Sub-Treasury Mill Aid iu Restoring Confidence. Washington. Sept. 11. Acting under the general Instructions given them, the receivers of several failed national banks at New Orleans, took possession of all the property found in the vaults of the Institutions. Among these were a number of boxes containing secur ities and other papers of depositors and others left with the banks for safe keep ing. - Comptroller Eckles today wired instructions to the receivers to deliver the boxes to all owners who are nut in debted to the banks, and to allow no other papers not relating to their trans actions with the banks or which could not be used In settling them, Mr. Eck els explained that it was not only not the wish of the department to Interfere with or embarrass the business men of the city in any way by the management of the receivers, but on the other hand to facilitate and help them as much us possible. In order to aid as greatly as possible in restoring confidence to the people of New Orleans In their financial Instruc tions, the treasury department has sent by telegraph and express to the sub treasury in. that city within the pust two days $1.3.10,000 to be used In meet ing sugar bounty claims and other de mands upon the government. Up to the hour of closing the department this afternoon. Comptroller Eckels had re ceived no reports from the ugents and employes of the bureau In charge of the failed banks. Mr. Eckels will go to Ottawa, 111., tonight to escort Mrs. Eck els and his children back to Washing ton. DYNAMITE FIEND ADR0AD. The Hcsidcnce of a M ilUcs-Barre Contractor Is Wrecked.

Prominent Democrats Break Away from the Silver Candidate Deser tioqs Are Numerous. Indianapolis, Sept. 11. Sterllnff R. Holt has resigned as chairman of the Democratic state committee. The thir teen members of the committee have been wired to meet here at 11 o'clock to morrow to receive the resignation, which will be In writing. Itufu Ma gee, a member of the committee from the eleventh district, has also resigned, and other resignations of members of the committee who feel that they can not Indorse tht Chicago platform and ticket are looked for. The resignation of the chairman Is the direct result of the quarrel between him and Governor Matthews over the appointment of J. 10. McCullough of this cHy as a mem ber of the state board of election com missioners. Two weeks ago Mr. Holt, In accordance with the authority vest ed In him as chairman of the state commit tee, named Mr. McCulloch as the Democratic representative In the election board. It is said that the gov ernor hesitated to approve the appoint ment because Kir. McCulloch had been recofmied as a Bound money Democrat. It Is believed that the resignation of the chairman will result in some of the county chairmen throughout the state retiring. St. Louis, S)t. 11. John A.
