Canton, O., Oct. 2. After nearly a week of continuous rain and wind, which conditions have greatly Inter fered with the reception of delegations by Major McKlnley, the sun came throuKh this morning and the clouds cleared away. Among Major McKln ley's early callers were Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachisetts: Theo dore Roosevelt, of New York: and Con gressman John Dalzell, of Pittsburg. About noon a delegation of 3.10 fnr mers from the West Virginia Pan Handle arrived. They were met at the the depot by the Canton mounted troop and escorted to the Tabernacle. The members of this delegation claim that many of the furmers who had contem plated joining the party at Wheeling were detained because of washouts on the railroads caused by the recent storms and floods. A delegation of rail road men from Chicago Junction and Huron county, Ohio, about 600 strong, arrived nt about the same time. They were also conducted to the Tabernacle. WlK-n Major McKlnley entered the hall he was greeted with a storm of ap plause. The meeting was called to or der by C. H. Hennings. who Introduced Mr. T. McCarvln. an attorney of Wheel ing, as the spokesman for the West Virginia farmers. Mr. W. A. Francis, of Chicago Junction, acted in a like ca pacity for the railway men. In response to these addresses Major McKinley spoke as follows: M'KINLEY'S SPEECH. It g'ves me special pleasure to meet nt my home in a joint meeting the cltliseiis of the state of went Virginia anil of my own native slate. A Kepublicun has no embarrassment in speaking to an Ameri can aiiilience. He dues not have to make a il lire rent speech for a different locality. ( LaiiKhtcr and uppluuse).

Their purposes embrace the good of every American Interest and sec tion. (Renewed applause). The gre.it IhmiKliI of I lie people of this country wherever they may reside or whatever may be llielr occupation.

(Ap plause ami cries of "That's right.") What is the trouble? (A voice: "Kree liude," followed by xrcal applause). In a sliiKle word, Ihe trouble with the country Is a luck of coiilhlcnee. As to wliut has brought about that lack of con fidence every citizen everywhere must eon cede, for every eilbteii has fell it in his own trade and experience. Now, wliut is I 111--.

(UreHt cheer ing). This thing cnlled "business eoiill dence" never shut up an American mill; never reduced or curtailed employment; never refused loans; never got up a run on a bank; never stopped a mine; never created Idleness among laboring men. (Applause). When confidence Is present with us, the shcrilT has less to do. (Oredt laughter and applause). And advertisers few forced sales. (Renewed applause); Ihe court docket registers fewer argu ments; public charily Is less Invoked and the "free soup" house Is unknown and mi. necessary. (Tremendous cheerlngi. When confidence Is shaken, misfortunes conio not singly but In battailous and suffering falls on every community. (Applause). No part of our population Is exempt. It may come from one thing or it may come from another. Doubt in the business world is death to business. (Applause and cries of "That's right.") We have it now. We know the hour it came. (Great cheering). We know what brought It. (Renewed cheering). And I hope we know how to get rid of it. (Tremendous cheer ing and cries of "You bet we do.") We have hid It in the United States to a greater or less degree from the moment It was settled In ISHi that our protective tar iff laws were to be changed. (Applause). It continued until the changes were ac. tually made and still longer until the peo ple In 1M4 elected a Republican national house of representatives and made It Im possible to cut deeper Into the industries of our country. (Great applause). When the doubt of further changes has been thus removed, then came the realization of the destruction which the new tariff law had done to some of our great indus tries, entailing an Injury felt In every state and community of our country. Then fol lowing that was a loss to the treasury from Insufficient revenues under that leg islation. Then the run on the gold re serves, then bonds to make that gold re serve good, then the obstruction In the senate to any emergency legislation which would supply the loss of revenue entailed by thnt law; and the very character of that resistance in the senate to legislation which would increase the revenues only Increased the uncertainty. (Applause). Then with all these burdens upon us, the Chicago platform with its reactionary provisions came to further fret the coun try. The effect of this platform upon the business would have been characterised not by Republicans alone, but by the old and trusted leaders of the Democratic party, as a menace to every Invested inter est in the United States, revolutionary In character ami directly leading to national dishonor and partial repudiation. (Great cheering). The people this year are engaged In a (rest national contest t restore the con- tidence so badly shaken by the succession of events which I have brefly named. In less than five weeks they will speak and make known their decree. What will it lie, men of Ohio and West Virginia? (Cries of ".McKinley. .McKlnley." followed by tremendous cheers). If the people shall with ringing and Impressive voice declare four weeks from next Tuesday that the public credit shall not be lowered; the na tional currency shall not be degraded; the peace ami tranquility of this government of laws shall not be broken; the revenues of the treasury shall not be longer Insuf ficient lor the needs of the government and then that the tarlfT shall no longer be Inadequate to protect the American work shop and the American market, business activity will return, confidence will come back again, courage will take the place of fear, work will be resumed and prosperity will . come to bless and benelit us all. (Great npplatise and cries of "That's so.") God grant to the American people the wisdom to guide them In the right. (Great cheering). DISTINGUISHED GUESTS. Besides Senator Lodge, Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Dalzell. Congressman Nelson Dinglcy, chairman of the ways and means committee called on Major Mc Kinley today. These gen lemon have been making speeches in this part of the country and called to my their respects to the can didate and to tell him of the prospects in the different sections that In which they have travelled. Mr. Dlngley Bald: The outlook for a Republican victory Is more promising in the west. Ii seems now only a i ucstioii of how large a plurality will bo given Major McKinley. We hope by giving him an overwhelming majority we may be aide to control the next sen. ate beyond doubt. We have assurance from all of the congressional districts that the next house will be largely Repub lican, but we want the senate, too. Muimt will give McKinley a much larger plural ity than thai by which the Republican state ticket was elected In September. Mr. Dalzell said: "I have been nil through West Virginia and I um convinced thnt that state will be carried by the Republicans. Senator Klkins is devoting his personal attention to the campaign there and I shall be dis appointed If he does not succeed in his efforts to wheel the state Into the Repub lican line. The Republicans will surely have a safe majority In the next house.'' Mr. Lodge: "Speaking for Massachusetts, I can say that the majority for McKinley this year will far exceed the Republican majority of two years ago, which was iH.aOU. New England can be depended on for an over whelming mujority for the Republican ticket." , Mr. Roosevelt: "The Indications are that New York will give .Major McKinley the greatest majority ever accorded any candidate. In fact, the sentiment In the east is all In favor of the Republican ticket, and from what I have learned this great Republican tidal wave Is rapidly moving westward." Rutherford Hayes, son of the late President Hayes, called on Major Mc Kinley today, us did also Hurry Gar field, son of the lamented President Carllcld. Kishop Van Vleck called this afternoon and uinong others from Ihe ,-ast was Perry Mdllrath, ussistunt corporation counsel of New York city. WEST india" HURRICANE.

MONEY QUESTION THE MAIN ISSUE The Speaker follows I p the Old Line of Argument auT Claims That the Kepublit-aui Are More Opposed to Ihe Income Tax and the Auti-In-junction Plunks Than to Free Silver. Charleston, Kauawha county, W. Va.. Oct. 2. In the chill morning that sent shivers down the spinal columns of his audience, William J. Bryan be gan another day of campaigning at Point Pleusant, W. Va. .Mr. Bryan, who had left Wheeling shortly after midnight on a special trnln, accom panied by Governor MacCorkle, Con gressman McMillln, of Tennessee; Na tional Committeeman McGraw, of West Virginia, and a party of statu politicians, reached Point Plensant at 6 o'clock. Hastily slipping on his trousers and buttoning his overcoat about his throat. Air. Bryan went out on the platform and made a short speech. About a thousand people heard him. A reception committee of thirty-five from Charleston, headed by ex-Oover-nor E. Willis Wilson, boarded the train at Red House. There was a big crowd there, but Its cheers were not sufficient to waken Mr. Bryan, who had gone to his berth after leaving Point Pleasant. Charleston gave the cundidate a hearty reception. His train arrived at 9.20 a. m. and was greeted by a big assem blage at the railway station. A long procession escorted the candidate about the streets, and then to the city park, where he made a speech to 10,000 peo ple, in the course of which he said: "I find here upon the platform Democrats, Republicans. lipullsts, members of all parties who, while dif fering among themselves on minor questions, are united In their deter mination to restore to the people of this country the gold and silver coinage of the constitution. (Cheers.) I be lieve that In this campaign we are en titled to the support of all political parties who believe still In a govern ment of tho people, by the people and for the people. (Cheers.) We may dif fer upon the application of fundamen tal principles to the various questions which arise. We may differ in opin ion upon policies suggested by various parties, but my friends, whenever any party In this nation denies the ability of the notion to have such a financial policy as the American people want to have, the three other questions disap pear and we stand united to vnndieate the right of self-government. AMPLE EXCUSE. "Those who have been Republicans In the past, those who have voted the itepublican ticket from the time the parly was organized find ample excuse for departing from that party this year. (!o buck to I8SS and you will find thai the Republican party declared for gold and silver us standard money, and even went so fnr as to denounce the Democratic party for trying to de monetize silver. (Applause.) Read that plutform. adopted by the Repub lican national convention of JSSK and see how It tried to turn the indigna tion of the people nguinst the Demo cratic udirflfistiution because that ad ministration had been hostile to siUer mid on that platform the Republican party won the election. In lx;r the national con vent bin nf the Republican party declared thai the Ainerlcuu peo ple, from tradition and Interest, were In favor of bimetallism." Mr. Uryun maintained (hat one of the best evidences thai the silver Idea wns the correct one was fouiul in Ihe fact I bat all the great trusts und combina tions ure aguinsl tile Democratic tick et. He followed up his obi line of argu ment of the basis of the statement thut the Republicans were not fighting an onen battle. They were more op posed, lie said, to the Income tax. the anti-injunction and the arbitration plunks of the Chicago platform than they were to free silver. He main tained, as heretofore, thut the money question was Ihe main issue and it should be settled through the operation of legislation. He spoke of u dear dol lar and a cheup dollar, in language substantially the same as used hereto fore, and discussed the law of supply and demand as applied to silver. An other special train was provided by the West Virginia state committee for Mr. Bryan's Journey to Huntingdon. Gov. Mac Corkle accompanied Mr. Kryun. The train left at 11.45 o'clock, eastern time. THE: YELLOW HADGKS. Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia contributed to the throng that heard William J. Ilryan speak here this af ternoon. Excursion trains were run from a number of places and the crowds on the streets of the town before the Democratic nominee and his party arrived had assumed formidable pro portions. Mountaineers came in on horseback und a-foot; people were landed from the rlvejf steamers and al together Mr. Bryan had a picturesque audience as he has ever addressed. One noticeable feature of the gathering was the presence of large numbers of men, women and children, wearing slips of yellow paper hearing the one word "McKinley." So conspicuous were they in the crowd that gathered about the speakers' stand erected at Fifth avenue and Ninth street, Mr. Bryan called at tention to them in his speech and com mented on their color yellow. His hearers numbered, according to various estimates, between ten and fifteen thou sand. They were fairly enthusiastic. Mr. Bryan spoke of bankers who grew rich on the interests of deposits and added: "And yet these men who act In the capacity of trustees are so Insolent that they are now contributing to Re publican campaign funds the money that the people have deposited with them for security. (Cheers). "But, my friends, this campaign will demonstrate whether the people are to have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, or whether It is going to be a government of syn dicates, by syndicates and for syndi cates." (Applause). The rest of the speech was devoted to an explanation of the C3 cent dollar and to statements about Impossibility of the Mexican dollar in America. WATSON WAILS. Says That He Has Been Badly Treated in the Fusion Affair. Altoona, Ga.,Oct. 2. Thomas E. Wat son will neither affirm "nor deny the re port that he contemplates retiring from the Populist ticket. To a repre sentative of the United Associated Presses he said this morning that he had no comment to make as to pub lished reports further than to state that his retirement would defeat Bryan because the Mlddle-of-the-Road Popu lists would vote for McKinley before they would for Bewail. Watson says that he baa bees badly treated in fusion arrangements which have been mude south and west. If he contemplates any move he will not an nounce it until after the Georgia state election next Wednesday. Atlanta, Go., Oct. 2. In this week's edition of Thomas E. Watson's Peo ple's party paper. Issued today, appears an editorial attack upon Chairman Marlon Butler, which is considered of much significance. In view of the rum ors that Mr. Watson will soon retire. The article follows: Attempts have been made to show that Mr. Watson favored fusion In the state of Indiana. This is not correct. Mr. Wui son took the position at the beginning of the rumpalgn that no Populist could con sistently vote for a Sewall elector any more than he could vote for a Hobart elector. He tiled with Chairman Butler a written protest against Mr. Butler's fusion policy. Mr. Butler has Ignored Mr. Wat sun's protest and gone steadily forward on his own line. .Mr. Watson's position now Is what It was when the Georgia stuto convention met. Re is for the straight "Middle cf Road" ticket. In no other way can the Democratic managers be forced to abide by the St. Louis contract. .Mr. Watson's position has been humil iating and embarrassing and he has been compelled to submit to policies he did not approve.

THE SPANISH CONSUL FLOGGED Lively Fight Occurs, in M hich Cuban sympathizers and Government Men Were ProininentThe Spanish Minister at Washington Demands Satisfaction. Philadelphia. Oct. 2. A slory came here today from Jacksonville. Fla.; which, it true, may still further com plicate the relations between this coun try and Hon in. The story is to the ef fest that the light occurred there yes terday between a party of Cuban sym pathizers and the Spanish consul there and some Plnkerton detectives, In which the latter party was worsted. The Spanish consul and the detectives were observing the movements of the Cubans, whose leader was Col. Eglio Nunce. of this city, who Is well known as an active opponent of Spain. The Cu bans discovered the Espionage tney were under und turned upon the men who were following them, A fight fol lowed. As no deadlier weapons were used than fists there were no fatalities, but the consul and his men ar said to have received a severe drubbing. The consul communicated the affair to the Spanish minister at Washington and the latter is said to have made a demand upon President Cleveland for reparation for an assault upon a Span ish consul and the Insult resulting therefrom to the crown of Spain. It was also learned here today that the famous little filibustering steamer Laurada Is suspected of being about to run another filibustering expedition to Cuba. The Laurada has been held at Wilmington. Del., by the federal authorities for some time on account of the last trip she made to Cuba, and only today was given clearance papers for Halifax. The treasury officials are said to be in possession of Information that the Laurudu will take off an ex pedition from near Atlantic City, under the leadership of General Carlos. If the government's Information Is cor rect and it has sufficient proof of the proposed expedition, there will be but little trouble In putting a stop to It, as tonight tho Laurada Is still in the Delaware liver.
