(Cries of "you bet It is." Dr. Flood ha- already stated that you have received a banner for having given the largest .Republican majority. 1 trust that majority will not be decreased in IWi, (Ap plause and cries of "not any.") No mat ter what may be our occupations In life, we are all Interested In good works. We are all interested In good laws, and we are till Interested In having general prosper ity. (Cries of "that's right.") Unfortun ately we have not enjoyed general- pro perlty In the last four years. Times have been Intnl. business Mas been depressed; workingmen have been Idle; farmers we-s unable to receive Just reward for their husbandry, and now the thought of the people ami the desire of the people is to return to the good times of 18s:! (great applause); times from which we ran a wny which we have been regretting ever since. (Applause nnd cries of "that's right.") NO IDLE MEN WANTED. Xow, my fellow-citizens, what we wint this year Is to cast our ballots for that party and for those principles which will secure to us the greatest prosperity. (Ap plause and cries of "that's what we want.") We want no Idle men In the United States. (Great upplause.) We want no idle mills in the United States (renewed applause), and to the end th.it we may have nelthff Idle mills nor Idle men. we must do oift work in the United Slutes (great cheering), and not outside of the United States. (Renewed cheering and cries of "that's the stuff.") You may disagree with me, hut I believe in a pro tective tariff. (Tremendous applause an. I cries of "so do we.") I always have so he lleveil and I have never felt called upon to make any apology to anyiiody any where (cries of "good, good, you don't have to'V for having been devoted to the great people which promotes and encour ages American development and gives em. ploymenl and good wages to American workingmen. (Tremendous cheering.) Then, my fellow-etiy,ens, having secured a turlff that will defend American Inter ei'ts, we want to continue the use of the good dollars we have had since 1i7!'. (Orent applause.) We want no dinned coins In the United States. t Renewed applnuse.t We want no debnsed dollars any more than we want debased labor applause) and when men have Kiven a full day's work to an American employ r we want that American employer to pav In dollars as good as any dollar anywhere in the World and worth UK) cents every day and everywhere. (Tremendous cheering.)

(Ureal cheering.) I thank you most heartily, gentlemen, for the kindness and courtesy of this call. Yotl have traveled a long distance, not to see me. nor to honor me. but to honor the great cause whlcii, for the moment. I rep resent (applause), and to lestil.v bv vour presence your devotion to the great prin ciple of the Republican party In which you believe is enveloped the highest pros perity of the citizen and the greatest glory of the republic. (Oreat applause.) THE WYANDOTTE VISITORS. The third delegation was from Wyan dotte county. Ohio. It anked about noon and niatvlied at once to Major Mc Klnley house. The spokesmen Were General T. M. Klrby und p. Cuneo, a Republican editor, who IS a native of Genoa. Italy. In response to thu re marks of the spokesmen, Major McKln ley made a brief speech. After the speet hiiiuking Major Mc Klnley shook hands with his Wyan dotte county visitors; He scarcely had time to eat his luncheon, when the found of advancing footsteps was heard, und the fourth and lust delega tion it the day arrived. It was Tlttln and Seneca county, Ohio, delegates, and was large and enthusiastic. Tomorrow there are seventeen dele gation expected to .visit Major McKln ley. They will bring In the argregate more than :o,000 visitors to Canton. One railway company has) arranged for fourteen special trains. Major McKin lcy ha found it necessary to make his speeches shorter. All of his speeches Saturday, except one, will be brief. To day he made hit longest speech to a delegation from Seneca county, Ohio. It was a wool speech and was largely addressed to the wool producing states. Major McKlnley said:. . Men of all pa"rtles this year, as In the contest of the civil war, when the nation was threatened with dismemberment, are standing together for public honor and public honesty, for good currency, good credit und natlonul good faith .(Applause.) This is a year when those who stand op posed to us Indulge in glittering promises. They offer" a remedy which thoy say will cure all our Ills. We might accept their services and take their remedies If we had not been doctored by them before. - (Great laHghter-and applause.) Free trade and free silver are the false friends of labor. They lure with promises to cheap com modities and cheup money. .The partlnl trial of free trade has proved thai the cheap commodities promised nr dear to tl.u l,il....ue uti.l ft Him ,iWI lit IhImiC Hll.l i clisap money will be equally dear to them I add a saciliice to ihelr highest and bet Interests. (Cries of "that's right.") We cannot but remember the protnl-.cn that I weie made to the people In tl of the unl- versul lietiehclence which was to follow ! the Inauguration of u tariff for revenue unly policy and with what prodigal Douiiiy it was to benclit labor. Increase the pur chasing power of wages and decrease the price of everything it bought and Increase Hie price of everything ir made Ap plause.) They did not "pan out." Wool Mas nude free and every man in this country knows how pootly the pel form liners have tallied with the promise then made. Instead of adding '.m.) laborers lo the pay rolls of the woolen iiill'n It has taken of mote than that number it is well known there Is but one ciislo. nier tor the wool grower of the United States and that ciinluiuer Is Die maii ufaclurer of the United States. The Amer ican wool grower has no foreign market today. He cannot compete in any other market with the wool grown ou cliciip lauds and by cheaper lubor of other coun tries. Tills is his market mid when it Is lukcii from him it emails loss and ruin to him. Have thexe fi.e imports of wool beucllt e.l the in. inula. luiei? (('lies of "no." The two years in which the manufacturers have enjoyed free wool have been the most disastrous in the history of Ameri can wool manufactories, greater than th" disaster which followed the close of the war of 1SI-' or the panics ot 1VI and l'.7. (Appluuse.) The iinporis ut the woolen guods frew wool were simply enormous. They averaged :, mini urn a month In value; that at the .nd of the tltst year under the new law the total value of woolen goods imported hud exceeded Jil.i..iwi.,v loietgu value. In 1W, It is estimated that nearly one-luilf of the woolens mat enter, d Into consumption were of a foreign make We have in this country enough woolen ma chitiery to muiuifaci lire all our wants, b it II is not all In demand under present con ditions. While our idle working in ople are looking for a .lob, foreign wool mow ers are sending ihelr wool to the United Suites, und American fanners me selllntr their llocks. (Applause and dies of "Dial's right.") Urndlotd. England, alone sent us lu IHs.'i $27. 74..,'M worm of goo Is, an In crease of ii per cent, over the value of llieir largest export. So great was file U iiuin.l for these foreign koou thut the English maiiiifact uret a could not find enough weavers to run their looms. W Idle this was going on, American tools were silent und Amcri.-an workmen were Idle. Not one-hall' of the woolen machinery of the United Slides Is employe,! That is the result ol free wool In ihe -United Slates. (Applause.) word free is delusive. My fellow-.itly.Pirs. you want to siu.lv that word "free, ' when applied .to auoJsl or money, u i iieiusiv. Aluliy oi in factories are entirely closed; other run ning on half or short time, and It Is esti mated thut not one half of those who were employed In 1W)3 tlnd employment now. Until the full of 19-' men were constantly employed and at higher rates of wages than thejr had ever before enjoved. (Ap plause and cries of "that's tight "t The manufacturer was looking for workmen; now the workmen are looking for work. Then the manufacturer was hunting the employe; now the employe Is hunting work. It Is said that there Is enough wool machinery In the United States to give em ployment to men and women and their wages down to 92 amounted to foi.no.neu annually. Forty million dollars has been taken away from the homes of labor. Those who were promised plenty and prosperity under free trade are now assuring us that they can only be secured through flee silver. (Laughter and cries of "no.") How will free sliver slop th Importation of foreign wool? (Cries of "It won't.") Ho can free silver eheeK the annulling Importations of woolen goods from the old world? How can free silver preserve the home market to the wool producer and the woolen manufac turer? iCrles of "It .:an't do It.") My feliow-titlzens. It Is as delusive as free trade. It will only further cripple ev ery interest In the United States. How can free silver Increase the demand for American labor and American product"? Answer me that. (Cries of "It can't do it.") Remember, my fellow-citizens, that money does not make business. It never did and never will. Husiness makes money. (Cries of "that's right." Poor money never helped legitimate business In the history of mankind. It has always hurt it. It is destructive to every ln.tere.st but that of the speculator. (Applause.) What is true of wool is true of other In dustries. All have been suffering. If not to the same extent it Is because the blow on Industries wus not so severe. We want In this country a sound government, a sound tariff and sound money. (Great applause.) And we want to take care of this goodly Inheritance of ours and keep It what it has been for the most part in all Its glorious history, the most prosperous beneath the sun. with more happy and contented homes than can be found in any other country of the world.

Sept. 2.".. Maryland gave Palmer and Huckner a rousing: welcome tonight. About 4.WH) persons were present nt the Maryland raliflrutlun meeting: f the National Democratic patty which was held fit Music hall. A large majority of the crowd wwere staunch Dento. ruts who huve not been, stampeded to the cause of free sl ver. Among the most enthusiastic Were some of the best known Democrats in Maryland men who have never known what It was to scratch a ticket until this yeur. It was apparent however that im iiy in the audience were not in sympathy with the sound money theories advanc ed by the speakers. The frequent, i ik-n lion of Bryan's name wusi cheered by quite- a number, while othein us vig orously hissed every allusion to tin silver candidate. A Palmer and Ruckiier electoral tick et was put in the Held by the adoption of a report made by u special commit tee. In opening his address Seiiuti' Palmer said: "I am here tonight, in the altitude (r H cu-ndidule for the presi dency of the United Slutes wit hunt any expectation of being Heeled. (H-neinl Pulnier read abstracts from the platforms adopted by the seven natlonul conventions on which candi dates are now standing for the presi dency, und commented in Ills charac teristic wav, upon the candidates. Kverytlme he mentioned Mr. Ilryan's name there was uu uproar, a coming ling of cheers and hisses. That there Were several Republicans In the audi ence was manifested by the enthusiasm which greeted the limn l ion of Major McKinlcy 's tiuuie. THE FINANCIAL QUESTION. Concluding his discussion of (he plat form and candidates. General Palmer took up tin lluancial question. He said that lit its pledge lo the free coiuuge of silver the Chicago convention Invoked not only the Judgment, but Hie intlig ualloii of American people, lie reject ed Mr. Bryan's belief that the adopt ion of free coinage of silver by the United States alone would advance silver to an equality in value Willi gold and as serted that there was no foundation for the assumption. Alter congratulating Mr. Dry an and bis siipiHjiieis on their unparalleled boldness in making certain "outrage ous claims," General Palmer added that It is astonishing thut in the ligiit of human experience such propositions slamld b entertained by suite men. No more monstrous prooosltlon wus ever made than the one inviting the United States to abandon her trade re lations with (treat Britain, Germuny, France and other gold countries and take refuge with Greasers and Chinese. (Great applause.) As General Palmer concluded General Buckner was introduced. The scene was dramatic. The border line audi ence give the Kentuckian a special wel come and the cheers were Intermingled with the rebel yell. The general dis cussed the financial question, but his argument was lost to most of those who tried to follow him because of the noise made by hundreds who were leaving the hall. YALE BOYS EXPLAIN- They Claim That They Did Not Interrupt the Boy Orator After He Had Commenced Speaking. New Haven, Oonji., Sept. 25. Every one Is discussing the Bryan incident o yesterday when the presidential can didate stopped speaking and declared that he was prevented by Yale men's noise from proceeding. There Is a general denial that he was stopped from speuklng by Yale men, their claim being that they cheered for Mc Klnley and gold Incessantly at the be ginning of his speech, compelling Mr. Bryan to take his seat after he had risen to speak and to wait five min utes till the cheering stopped, but they state that vfhen he once began they did not prevent him from continuing. Much Indignation is felt here at the reference by Mr. Btyqn to Yale stu di ids as young men who came to college to spend "Ill-gotten gains." The Yale faculty asseet that no official notice will be taken of the Incident. , The Register editorially tonight prints an editorial to prove that yes terday's disturbance was due In a large degree to an Incendiary speech deliv ered to an unsympathetic audience. It says that the cheers given him were only such as Dr. Depew ai d nth r notables have received from Yale au diences from time to time in the pas:. The editorial says that In ft til ing Mr. Bryan threw the blame from his own shoulders, where It belonged, to the shoulders of the Yale men, where it did Hut belong. The naval mllltla and Company K. First regiment. t N. (., paraded on the green while the Bryan affair was on. The military men say, however, they were assured that the Bryan tpejklug would be ov. r I efore the time for the dress parade. 2.30, but as a flutter of fact Mr, Bryun did not ap pear on the green until 2.40.

He creat ed a sonxatlon when he scored Mr. Bry an for his utterance in relation to the late Henry Wurtl Beecher. "I huve a poor memory for quotations," said Mr. Depew. "but 1 never forget facts. So when I reud In Mr. Bryan's speech, de livered in Brooklyn the other night his reference to my lute fellow tnwnMinuu, Henry Ward Beecher, I recalled a speech delivered by that great divine on the money issue. I went to my library nnd found this book. (Here Mr. Depew picked up from Hie table a bound volume) and read therefrom Mr. Keeciu-r's declaration on the llnaticlul question in which he referred to gold as the 'king of commerce' and wnid: 'All other money must represent gold.' Mr. Hannu, who sat near by, rc mucked : "If Bryan keeps ou the plat form urter this Is printed, he has nuue gull tl.un I give him credit for."

Mayor Wurster topped forward, saying: "I take pleas ure In Introducing to. y ou the 'Wai wick of the west,", and presented Mr. Hannu, who received a Mattering re ception. Mr. Hunna said: Ladies and gentlemen: If I have beon successful In this campaign. It Is because of knowing enough nut to talk too much. I came here to see a Brooklyn Republican gathering. I had heard about them, but 1 hud never seen one. Mi-Klnlcv says that a Brooklyn Repub. liculi meeting is an inspiration and he has been here. I have now been here und I nlso subscribe to that proposition. On my return I will tell the governor I have seen some of his Brooklyn friends anil the bal ance will send their respects to him In November.

I have al ways had a predellctiun for bimetallism, but I would nut, while in office, claim my views of the matter to be Infallibly true when advanced against the views of ex perts. 1 hold to this very hour that It would be advisable to bring about among the nations chiefly engaged In the world's commerce a mutual agreement lu favor of the establishment ot bimetallism. "Considered from a commerula! and In dustrial standpoint, the United States are freer by far in their movements than any nation of Kill ope, and hence, should the people of the United Slates ttud It compa tible with their Interests to take Independ ent action in the direction of bimetallism, I cannot help but believe that such action would exert a most salutary Influence upon the consummation of international agree ment and the coining lino this league of every European nation. Assuring you of my highest respect, 1 remain, your most obedient servant. "Bistnaruk." We beg your highness to cable us the exact text of your letter if the preceding text should either not l genuine or' nut exact. Full cable reply paid. (Signed.) Gei'iiuiu-Auierlcan Sound Money League. William Steluway, president. Mr. Croas, the secretary of the American Sound Money league, In re ferring to the sending of the cable gram, said to a reporter of the L'uited Associated Presses tonight: "Although we know of Prince Bis marck being in favor of the landed ar istocracy of Germany, which Is the bl metalllHtlc party of that country, and which party is constantly clanwning for special privileges and high pro tective tariff and has also been, the cause of exdiiMi.m of the American hog from Germany we had no doubt thut Prince Bismarck had written a letter which, by many In thu country, may be construed as an improper interfer ence with the internal politic of a foreign nation, and it was for this rea son that this despatch wag sent. We don't consider the letter in any way misleading or hurtful to tlu; sound money cause, except among the ignor ant watt may. accept It as an endorse ment of the unlimited free coinage of silver, which it certainly Is not. The German bimetalllsts are not In favor of the unlimited free coinage of silver for Germany, but they will very likely have no objection and they may even plncerely desire that the United States should contest to the monumental folly and thereby secure to the Uuropean kt'ountries the greatest advantage over I Vie United States they can desire. We I doubt whether Prince Bltunarck rel ishes the publication of the letter and If the letter should be genuine this may be the reason why he has not sent any reply so far."
