THE INDIANIANS
VISIT M'KINLEY
First Campaign Club Organized in
the
State Arrives at Canton.
THE SPEAKER'S TALK ON MONEY
Notwithstanding (he Condition of the
Elemeuts, Great Enthusiasm Pre-vaiU--Every
Dollar Earned by the
Workingman Should Be at Good
at Our Flax.
Canton, O.. Oct. 7. The first McKln
ley club organized In Indiana arrived
In Canton ut 8 o'clock this morning,
having been on the cars since yesti.-i-day
noon. An hour after reaching
Canton the members of the club called
on Major McKlnley. A. B. Jenkins, of
Goodland, the town from winch theln-
tliana visitors came, made a short ad
dreBS Introducing the club to Major
McKlnley. The mornlntr was raw. and i
a sharp wind from the northeast Mow
ing and whirling the leaves across tne
McKlnley lawn, but the Indinlins
cheered In a manner which Indicated
that temperature In n l after ted
their enthusiasm. After Major Mu
Kinley's speech a gl club san a
number of humorous campaign sonys.
Mr. McKlnley, In the course of his
speech, said:
TALK UPON MONEY.
There Is a good deal of misunderstand
lug as to how a government gels Its money
and as to how Its pays it out. There ara
some people who seem to believe that the
way tne government gets its money is io
make It. There are three or four sources j
from whleli the tsovernment of the United
Slates gets money. The chief sources of
revenue are through tariffs and Internal
taxation. Then the government gets some ;
money from Its postal service, anu rrom
these several sources conies the money
that Is annually required to meet and dis
charge public expenses. It takes about
JWi.OOO.OuO a year to conduct this govern
ment. One million and one-third every
day are required to keep Us wheels In
operation.
Now, if the government had power to
make money, as some people believe, or
had the power to double the value of a
thing by Its stamp or tiut It would not
need to resort to taxation; it would simply
set Its mints to work and make the neces
sary money to pay Its running expenses.
It could have paid off the national debt
long years ago In this way. The idea that
the government can create wealth Is u
mere myth. There is nothing that cun
create wealth but labor, that Is the foun
dation of all labor. Now, as to the better
way to get this money Is one of the seri
ous quest lonsMn this campaign, how is It
easiest lor us to raise the money to run
this government, the H30.tjiM.0ull annual
ly? Is It easier to raise it by direct tax
ation, taxing the people In their occupa
tion, at their property, their land, or Is It
tint better to raise It by putting a tax upon
the foreign products that come Into this
country to seek a market in the United
States? And that Is the policy und the
purpose of the Republican party. They
believe that the hulk of the money re
ciulred to pay the expenses of this gov
ernment should be raised by putting u.
tax on foreign products that come into
this country to compete with home prod
ucts. (Cheers). Now, there Is another
thing, we want our money good. (Ap
plause), I don't care what employment
we may have, whether we are working In
ihe shopi or on the farm, or in the profes
sion, we want every dollar we have In
circulation as good as our flag. Ap
plause. And as unouestioned as the cur
rency of any country in the world. Ami !
thts Is the purpose of the Republican party i
LAST SPEECH OF THE DAY.
Major McKlnley addressed the two
Ohio delegations lii the Tabernacle. His
lust speech of the day was to the dele
gation from West Virginia. He said in
purt:
No state In the t'nioti has made Kl'ea'.cr
progress from lsTv to 1S2, in some respects
under adverse circumstance,; than lie
stale of West Virginia. Vou have mineral
wealth, the development of which hits
only Just begun, and which will be greatly
promoted or retarded, according to the
determination of the people as to the In
dustrial policies Which they will adopt
this year. Vou have, too. a rich agricul
tural stale, which Is dependent for iw
prosperity upon the prosperity of the
cities and towns w hich In turn are dcpeml
ent upon the prosperity of their manufac
tories. It needs only the touchstone of -oti-liJetire
and the assurance of stability lo
enable your state to achieve still hluher
rank and place and benertt Its own popu
lation and add to your own growth anil to
the republic. Hud your onward march or
1SH2 remained unchecked, hail your urowih
and development been unimpaired, there
would not be an Idle man in the state of
Weil Virginia or a farmer whose prod
ucts would not bring him living prlis.
Applause.) The Interests of West Vir
ginia ore identical and are not different
from the Interests of every section of our
country. The interests of your state are
identical with the interests of my stoic.
No longer are they separated in interest, or
affection, of fraternity by the unhnppv
events of thirty-live years ago.
Xor should former political opinions be
closed against the vision when exierience
has demonstrated that those opinions nre
clearly wrong. I do not believe there are
many men in this country, no matter
whal they have thought in the past, who
will not now say that free trade or so
ealled tariff reform, has proved by the ex
perience of the past four years to be a
signal and disastrous failure. (Great ap
plause). It has failed, utterly failed, in
every prophecy, promise and expecta
tion. It has not secured a single thing that
its advocates said would follow Its adop
tion. Not one, more, it has not served
a single American Interest. It has served
the Interests of other nations of the world,
but has given no benefit to the American
people. (Applause and cries of "That's
so.'')
It has not helped the laborer, the far
mer, the manufacturer, the merchant,
the lumberman, the miner, the trader. It
has not helped either the producer or the
consumer. It has hurt both alike, for
producer and consumer are Inter-dependent
and one cannot prosper without the
other, and the one cannot be hurt with
out the other feeling It. (Great cheering).
It has given the treasury an Inadequate
revenue, insufficient revenue, and it has
given the laborer Inadequate and Insuf
ficient employment, and the farmer a
disappointing and ruinous price for his
products. (Applause). We want to get
back to what we know Is good. We
have tried experience and we know that
when we have been on the ship of experi
ence we sailed safely Into port, and when
we have taken the raft of experiment we
have always gone down. (Loud and con
tinued applause).
JUDGE PORTER SPEAKS.
Wishes It Understood That His Feet
Arc e i the Chicago Platform.
New York, Oct. 7. Chairman Elliott
Danforth, of the Democratic state
committee, received a letter today from
Judge Wilbur F. Porter, the regular
Democratic candidate for governor,
formally accepting the nomination,
Mr. Porter, In his letter, states that
he stands squarely on the Chicago and
Buffalo platforms and will work hard
for the election of Bryan and Bewail,
Mr. Portetr says:
That no person may cast his vote for
me under mistaken misapprehension I
declare myself In favor of bimetallism and
for the restoration by proper legislation
of silver to Its monetary candltlon as It
existed prior to 1873; believing that in so
doing the greatest good to the greatest
number will be accomplished, and that
prosperity to all classes will result there
from, and that this country is strong
enough of Itself to take the necessary step
towards restoring silver as one of the
siamiaras ot our nnanciai system, which
will result, in
my opinion, In bringing
about an international conference with
reference to the status of silver as money
In nil principal countries of the worM.

Old Parties nt Trenton Meeting.
Trenton. N. J., Oct. 7. Joshua Lever
ing and Hale Johnson, the presidential
candidates of the Prohibition party, at
tended a mass meeting here tonight
and delivered addresses to an audience
of ITirt men and women. They . scoffed
nt the notion that the currency ques
tion was the most Important Issue be
fore the nation. The liquor traffic, they
held, was responsible for the hard
times. Uy closing the saloons and gin
mills, national prosperity could be at
tained again.
The speakers scored both the Repub
lican and Democratic parties and were
applauded for doing it.
AGRICULTURALISTS MEET.
Autumnal Deliberations of Pennsylvania
State BoardAn Eloquent Address
by Governor Hastings.
Ambler, Pa., Cel. ".Tho uutumn
meeting of the Penrsyivutila etai
hoard of agriculture lrg:tn hero today
mid will continue until toirorrnw even
ing. The hoard Is well veprcsi ntcd.
The meeting was railed to order, In the
temporary absence of G.ivetnor Hf.st
Inas. by H. H. Hutchinson, of Hunt
ingdon county. The tfoveriior readied
here from Philadelphia at noon and a
rtiect parade was given I., his honor.
The morning session was jeeupied In
perfecting an oiuiiniiiitl in. This af-te-noon
Powell Child, of Plymouth,
delivered an address of welcome, to
which the governor responded.
B. W. Dumbly read a pa pep, entitled
"How Can We Afford Bid Roads," and
S. R. Downing, or West Chester, spoil?
upon "The t'ash Plan In the Road
Maintenance." Other pavers were also
had.
At each of the three sessions of the
board today the (Ine opera house was
crowded by farmers who drove in from
the country. Two parades were held
this afternoon, in one of which the 400
school children of Ambler were In line,
carrying American flags. They marched
in siugle file through the opera house,
passing Governor Hastings on. 'the
stage. He shook the hand ot every
child in the line.
lovertior Hasting's speech today was
quite an elaboiute one. He quoted
largely from the reports of the state
agricultural department to show that
agriculture, all things considered, still
holds its place as the leading and most
alttnl.de brunch of human employment
in Pennsylvania. In referring to the
present low price of wheat he contend
ed that the responsibility lay in the
inexorable law of supply and demand
and not In the currency question as
has been charged by some advocates of
free silver, lie presented statistics to
show tbut the reut increase In rail
road facilities had brought larger
qualities ol wheal l'n.jn the west and
also to show (hut the stringency of the
limes hud resulted in u reduction of the
consumption of the grain. The recent
reports thai the Russian wheat is it
failure, he suid. titer ted the price the
world over and has created a demand
for America's surplus wheat. The price
of w heat, he suid. has udvauced about
thirteen cents a hushed in the last thir
ty days. Coiitintiiiig. he said:
i have mentioned these facts to you be
cause the u-hoiale of cheap money tire
telling AmeriiHii faiiueis that the decline
in the price of aKileiiltuial products hus
kept pace with the decline of silver and
that on advance in the price of silver will
lead to an V lvalue In ihe price of farm
products. There is no similarity between
the price of sliver mid the price of farm
product that could possibly muse the one
to Influence I he other, as a careful study
of the question Indisputably shows and the
facts which 1 have mentioned Is the best
refutation of the argument. During ihe
last thirty days wheat has advanced 13
cents a bushel anil silver, during that time,
has been steadily declining.. Thirty days
axo wheat was worth ft! cents u busluV
and the silver dollar was worth S3 cf-nts.
Today wheat is worth 7"i cents a bushel
and the silver dollar Is worth but a shade
over ."a cents. Overproduction has reduced
the price of Fllver. Restricted production
In one wheat growing country has ad
vanced the price of wheat. When all lines
of Indust rj; and commercial pursuits are
prosperou the farmer is also prosperous.
All our varied business Interests are so
mutually dependent upon each othei' that
the prosperity of one Is the benefit of all,
and a blow stricken ut any one leading
branch of Industry has Its depressing in
fluence upon all. The fanner wants a good
market for his surplus products and he
always has it when the neighboring mill
or factory is running full time mid paying
good wages. The home market is the
American farmers' best market and best
friend. That legislation that will revive
the Interests of the country is the legisla
tion that will most benelit the American
farmer. That policy which compels mills
and factories to shut down and throws
people out of work Is the policy that
strikes hardest at the farmer. There are
limitations to the luw of stipplv and de
mand. There can be no demand where
there Is no power or ability to purchase
and there can be no supply If there is no
product.

SOLUTION OF THE
EASTERN QUESTION
Russia Will Take 'a Hand Uuless Ar
median Reforms Are Carried Out
TURKEY BARS OUT THE BANCROFT
The American Cruiser Will Not Be
Allowed to Pass the Dardanelles.
Ureek and Dutch Vessels Are Also
deluded" The Troubles in Crete
Are Not at an End.
New York, Oct. T.--A special dispatch
to the Evening Sun from London says:
It is learned upon unquestionable au
thority that Russia has undertaken to
interfere actively In Turkish affairs un
less the Porte carries out fully the
long delayed Armenian reforms. Eng
land and France agree to give their
moral support.
THE BANCROFT EXCLUDED
Constantinople Oct. 7. The an
nouncement that the Turkish govern
ment had decided not to admit the
I'nited States Crluser Bancroft through
the Dardanelles has caused more un
easiness among Americans. It is said
that the government has also decided
to exclude the guardshlps of Oreese
and Holland, which countries also pro
posed to have a ship stationed In the
Uosphorus as a guardshlp and to
furnish men to guard their legations
In rase of emergency. It should be
added, however, that the I'nited States
Oovernment Is not known to have pre
sented through the United States Min
ister, Mr. Alexxander W. Terrell, a for
mal demand for the passage of the
Bancroft or any other United States
warship through the Straits of the
Dardanelles, and It is recalled that
Greece, In 1888. was not allowed to have
a guardshlp In the Bosphorus.
The exact ground upon which the
Turkish government takes its stand lit
this case Is not stated, but it is known
In official circles here that Russia has
objected to the presence In the Bos
phorus of United States, Grecian or
Dutch guurdshlps. The objections to
the presence of extra guardshlps here
are said, according to general report,
to be based on the Berlin agreement,
which excludes from naval represen
tation in the Bosphorus any powers
who were not a party to that agree
ment, and that, therefore, the United
States ennnot bo allowed to send a war
ship to the Straits of the Dardanelles,
although It Is believed that Mr. Ter
rell, about a month ago. sent an urgent
request to Washington for a United
States war vessel. -It was further Intl
tnuled that the United States govern
ment would insist, by force if neces
sary, upon the presence of the Ban
croft In the Bosphorus, talcing the
ground that such a step would not be
an unfriendly act to Turkey, In view of
all the clrcumstanecs in the rase, and
that the protection of the lives and
property of American citizens made the
step necessary.. '
The Turkish government has also sent
a circular to the different embassies,
demanding the right to search foreign
vessels passing Constantinople for Ar
menians. It Is believed that the powers
will not accede to this request, as, up
to the present, Armenians who have
sought refuge on board of British or
French vessels have been protected by
the guardshlps here until the vessels
on which they had sought refuge sailed
tor their destination.
CRETAN TROUBLES.
, Advices received here from the Island
of Crete state that the crisis there is
by no meuns ended. The entire popu
lation of. the interior of that Island are
still under arms, and their leaders
have announced that they will renew
hostilities unless the Turkish garrisons'
are withdrawn from Crete. This has
caused a renewal of the excitement,
and the situation hus once more as
sumed a most threatening uspeet. It
Is believed that the Turkish govern
ment will insist upon maintaining its
garrisons In Crete, and that Turkey
In this ipatter will have the support of
the powers who recently brought about
what was looked upon as being a set
tlmeiit of the Cretan difficulties by
compelling the Porte to grant nearly
all the reforms demanded by the Insur
gents and giving them a sort of local
self-government which was looked
upon us being satisfactory to the In
surgent leaders. This fresh demon
stration in Crete will, in all probability,
bring about further trouble and post
pone again a dellnite settlement of the
Kaslern question.
GOODMAN ELECTED.
The Young Ncruntnn Fireman Is Hon
ored at Johnstown Convention.
Special to The Tribune.
Johnstown, Oct. 7. The banquet ten
dered to the visiting firemen by the
Johnstown executive committee was
one of the largest and best arranged
ever held in the history of the associa
tion. It was spread in the draughting
room of the Johnson works in Moxham,
a cuburb of Johnstown. The party
consisting of eight hundred persons
were conveyed to the place in twenty
five special cars.
The room in which the tables were
set was one hundred and fifty feet by
two hundred and fifty feet without a
post or pillar. Three hundred of Johns
town's prominent ladies waited on the
tables at the banquet. At 11.30 the par
ty returned to the city proper and con
tinued their sport into the early morn
ing. The Pittston crowd, with their loud
fish horns and heavy cow bells, made
hideous noises which caused much dis
comfort to the quiet Johnstown citi
zens. This morning at 9 o'clock the
convention was called to order and af
ter the reading of a few reports the
election of officers was proceeded with.
It was continued at 11.45 and the con
vention adjourned till 1.30 this after
noon to hear the report of the tellers.
There being only one candidate for all
offices and place of meeting with the
exception of vice president, the secre
tary was Instructed to cast the ballot
In these cases and the result of the
election of four vice presidents was
then announced. Of the six candidates
the four highest were H. C. Hicks, 228;
Herbert Heston, 255; Isadore Goodman,
224, and John Steele, 217. The election
of Isadore Goodman caused much good
feeling among the Scran ton party.
Harmony now prevails In the entire
membership of the state association.
Harvey R. Long was appointed a mem
ber of the insurance committee. The
convention adjourned sine die.
H. P. Swlck, of Jermyn, was appoint
ed honorary vice president of Lacka
wanna county In the place of Isadore
Goodman. Many companies are arriv
ing, as many more are expected on
the morning trains, and the parade la
expected to compare favorbly with any
held. The streets are all In good con
dltlon, but the weather ia cold. To
night the Bcranton party will attend
the ball in a body and cheer for their
victorious mem tier.
HANNA IS CONFIDENT.
Deems That Ihe Battle' for McKiulcy
Is Prncticilly Won.
Canton, O., Oct. 7. M. A. Hanna,
came down from Cleveland today nt
6.30 o'clock and left Canton for Chicago
at half-past nine, having spent just
four hours in discussing the campaign
with Major McKlnley. It was Chair
man Hnnna's llrst visit here since early
last July and Major McKlnley went to
the station to meet him. The candi
date and the chairman had a long talk
and discussed the conduct of the cam
paign in all parts of the country. Mr.
Hanna repeated his expressions of con
fidence in the situation in the east and
said that he felt that there would be
no further need of his presence there.
He deems the fight there already won
and thinks nil signs point to a sweep
ing victory in the west, but says the
work must be kept up with vigor ev
erywhere till the polls close. The cam
paign has been conducted on the broad
lines laid down by Major McKlnley
shortly after his nomination and Mr.
Hanna expressed the highest admira
tion for the political sagacity as well
as the "splendid and effective" speeches
of Major McKlnley.
The speaking campaign Is to be car
ried on more vigorously than ever In
all so-called doubtful states and a good
deal of active work for the south was
mapped out by Major McKlnley and
Mr. Hanna. Mr. Hanna does not ex
pect to visit Canton again till after the
election.
DOES NOT FAVOR SILVER.
Chief Arthur ot the International
Brotherhood ot Locomotive Engi
neers Delines His Position.
New York, Oct. 7. The Republican
national committee has discovered that
a circular is being secretly distributed
among railway employes and labor or
ganizations generally which Is de
signed to give the impression that P.
At. Arthur, grand chief engineer of the
International Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers favors the free and un
limited coinage of silver. The circular
having been brought to the attention of
N. B. Scott, of the Republican national
committee, he wrote to Mr. Arthur
and received the following reply from
Cleveland, Ohio:
N. B. Scott, Republican National Head
quarters, New York.
Dear Sir: Your esteemed favor with cir
cular enclosed received and read with care.
As there may be no misunderstanding
concerning my attitude toward the two po
litical parties, whatever I say must be
accepted as coming irom an individual,
not as the executive officer of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers.
About two years ago a gentleman called
upon Mr. Sargent and me at the Ulbon
House In Cincinnati and read to us what
purported to be a petition .to congress.
After listening attentively to the reading
of the documents, he asked me If I would
sigh it. I did so and thought no more
about It until the past two months, when I
find It Is being circulated and used for po
litical purpose. I understood at the time
that It wait to be presented to congress
asking for the enactment of laws In the In
terest of labor. I cannot say whether
the present circular Is a true copy of the
one read to me at that time. I will say,
however, that I am not in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of sliver and intend
to vote for McKlnley regardless of what
may have been said or done in the past.
Kespectfully yours,
P. 11. Arthur, Q. C. E.

STATE ELECTION
IN GEORGIA
The Democrats Victorious by a Majority
of More Than 20,000.
THE POPULISTS ARE KNOCKED OUT
The Unterrified Are Winners Even
at the Home of Tom Watson.
Chairman Cunningham, of the
Populist Committee Prefers to
Await tho Official Returns. .
Atlanta, C.a., Oct. 7. The polls
throughout the state closed at 6 o'clock
and from bulletins received. Indications
are that the majority for Atkinson
(Dem.) for governor will be not Ices
than 30,000. Hon. A. S. Clay, chair
man of the Democratic state commit
tee, says: "It is impossible at this
hour to predict with any degree of cer
tainty the size of the Din.ora:lo ma
jority. The count will be slow and it
wi'l probubly be midnight, before we
ran get any more satls'.viory infor
mation than Is contained in the tele
grams received by me from Democratic
loaders in almost every county in the
Mate. Almost without exception they
irport that the report Is satisfactory
and that seven out of ever ten'report
an Increase over the vote of two years
n go. At this hour it looks as If the
majority will be not less than 30,ou0."
Hon. John D. Cunningham, chairman
of the Populist state committee, does
not concede the state as yt, but nays
that he prefers to await the official re
turns. "The ticket Is a long one," said
he, "nnd the count will be elovr and It
is n.y opinion that when the result is
ai.nounced it will be found that there
have been a great many surprises. Ours
Is -the quiet vote and there hat been
very little demonstration about our
strength. Even if It should develop
that our ticket is not elected it will be
found that the other has won by a
mere scratch, though I do not by any
means concede the result." '
The vote In Atlanta ia very much
lighter than expected. The registration
in this county Is 12,000. but the vote
will probably not exceed 7,000. Atkin
son's majority In this county will prob
ably be about 1,000. Reports from Ma
con Indicate a majority of about 1.000
In that county, while reports from Sa
vannah and Augusta, indicate a ma
jority of about 3,000 in each of those
counties. The state can be reported as
absolutely certain Democratic by more
than 20,000, with the probability of the
majority exceeding 80.000. Atkinson'
majority two years ago was 24,000.
IN WATSON'S TERRITORY.
Augusta, Oa.( ' Oct. 7. The Demo
cratic majority In Richmond county
will be over 3.000.. Reports Indicate
that the Democrats have carried the
tenth district, which Is the stronghold
of Populism In Georgia. Thomas E.
Watson, Populist candidate for vice
president, lives at Thomson, in this
district.
Macon, Ga.. Oct 7. In the state elec
tion today, this. Bibb county, gave At
kinson (Dem.) about 600 majority over
the Populists. The county usually
gives 3,000 majority for the Democrats.
The Populists made gain on account
of the prohibition question, which was
the main plank of their platform. In
dications point to a Democratls victory
In the state, but at a greatly reduced
majority. Two-thirds of the negro rote
was for the Democrats.
Atlanta, Ga.. Oct. 7. Reports to the
Constitution from all parts q the state
Indicate that Atkinson's majority for
governor will exceed 35,000, with the
probability that his majority will go
over 40.000. The majority for the re
mainder of the state ticket will largely
exceed that of Atkinson, the probabil
ity being that It will go beyond 50,000,
while Atkinson's majority will be from
12.000 to lii.OUO larger than received by
hlin two years ago, when it was 24,000.
