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

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

The railroad company feels It when it

ami Improves its idd equipments and in

when he loans freely of his capital ami de

returned they will be in good, sound
money. (Ureal applause). And the de
positor feels this confident' when he
takes his money from its hlulUK place
where some of It is today and puts it In a
hank, sure that he can draw it out ac
cording to his necessity or Inclination In
as good money us he put in. (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.
Boats, Wharves and Small Houses Are
Demolished by a Bis Tidal Wave
Property Loss Is Heavy.
Savannah, (!u., Oct. 2. A letter from
(Vdur Key. h. Flu. dated Oct. I. says:
The West India hurricane, of which the
weather bureau gave warning, struck
Cedar Keys about 3,:I0 o'clock Tuesday
morning and left a scene of wreckage
anil devastation in lis wake. It Is by
fur the most destructive storm tlmt
bus ever visited this portion of the
gulf coast In twenty years and the
property loss Is immense. Up to II
o'clock the night was culm and quiet.
At that hour u moderute breeze sprang
up from the east win d, increasing
gradually iimil a :iu mile wind wits
blowing. About 4 u. in. it blew a per
I'ecl tornado and suddenly changed to
Ihe southwest, bringing in a perfect de
luge of wuler. I lie tide rising twe feet
higher than in IMM, which was at the
time said lo lie the severest storm on
record.
At 7 o'clock uti Immense tidal wave
came In from the south, carrying de
stiui tlon with it. Bouts, wharves und
suiull houses were hurled upon the
shore and breaking into fragments,
covered the streets with wreckage,
rendering theni almost Impassable,
while the torrents of water rushing
inrougn every open space would take
I lie strongest man oil his feet. At 10
u. m. the worst was over, the wind
subsided, the weather begun to recede
umi by 2 p. in. people could begin reck
oning up the losses and clearing away
the wreckage. The property loss is
very heavy.
The Florida Central and Peninsula
railroad Is a heuvy loser, as all the
track trestling is washed away from
here for a distance of three and a half
miles. It will probably be a month be
fore trains ure run through.

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.

TROUBLE BREWING
WITH SPAIN
Fi(ht it Jacksonville May Provoke
- More Complications.
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.
ANOTHER LIE NAILED.
President Lincoln's Secretary Knyt
the Famous Quotntion Is Spurious.
Chicago, Oct. 2. Perry S. Heath, of
the Republican national committee, to
day received from John G. Nlckoluy,
one of President Lincoln's secretaries,
a letter In which he declared "spuri
ous" an alleged quotation from Lin
coln now in general circulation as a
Democratic campaign document. The
quotation thus condemned Is as fol
lows: "Mr. Lincoln said: As a result
of the war, corporations have been en
throned and an era of corruption in
high prices will follow and the money
power of the country will emieavor to
prolong its reign by worsting upon the
prejudices of the people, until all
wealth is aggregated in a few hands,
and the Republic Is destroyed. 1 feel
at this moment more anxiety for the
safety of this country than ever before
even In the midst of war. God grant
that my suspicions may prove ground
less." Air. Nicolny continues: This alleged
(lmiluihm from Mr. Lincoln is a buhl.
unblushing forgery. The great presi
dent never said il or wrote it and never
said or wrote anything that by the ut
most license cuuld be distorted to re
semble II."

idosed. and the balance as soon as the

only leaked out today, when the mat
ter was taken Into court by reason of

the court.
The purchase Includes the engines
the largest train of plate rolls In the
world, cranes, oumps and all neces
sary uuiiuratus for putting the plant in

Is more than ample.
