Canton. O.. Oct. 23. Before sunrise this morning a party of visitors from 1 the Iloosier state came to Canton to I pay their respects to the Republican j candidate for president. They were the , first callers today. The delegation rep resented Logansport, New Castle, Ko kumo, Anderson and Richmond. After breakfast the party was escorted to Major iMcKinley's residence by the Canton citizens' committee. Major Mc Kinliy, In addressing the delegation, said: Four years ago it was said to the people of this country, who were under pros perity ami heulthy conditions, that they were suffering, and that free trade would cure all the ills, real or supposed, they had, and that It would be the panacea for rll thidr troubles. We did not have many troubles then very much fewer than we have now. ilut we tried the prescription they offered us and voted for free trade. You men know better the result of that vote by your experience of the last three and a half years than I can tell you. Hid It bring anything but Injury and distress to the country? ("No, no.") Now they propose having got us Into Hits condition, to get us out of It by the free coinuKe ef silver. Tills Is the cure they offer for all our present ills. If you started all the minis of this country working to their fullest capacity and extent you would not increase the demand for labor, corn or any American product, anil you would not Increase wages. The cry is that we have not enough money. Now everybody knows that Is not true. We never had such prosperous times us In IS'jJ, and we have just as miKli money now ns we had then. It is not a luck of money that Is at fault. It is the difficulty of putting men to work and creating markets for our products. You cannot make ."2-cents a dollar and make a gold dollar worth Urn cents circulate along slde of it. The gnlil dollar will go out and every paper dollur based on gold will co out. and there will be less circulating medium, and instead of the good money we now have, we shall have poor money. Can you tell me how the free cobiage ef sliver is going to help business? U will not Increase the demand for anything b it sliver. There will be an Increase in the production of silver, but then down goes the price of silver and then yon will have to consult your paper every morning to see what silver Is wovth. A voice, "1 have been In Mexico antTknow that's so.") We do not want such money In the V'nit ed States. We want dollars worth lm cents. It is the lost job that Is troubling us. It Is not money, but the market that is troubling us. THE KANSAS DELEGATION. "Kansas! Kansas!" "Hip, rah. re." "She's fur McKlnley." This was the shout which greeted Major McKlnley when he stepped out on his porch at noon to address two hundred Santa Fe railroad men from Emporia and Topeka, Kansas. The delegation came a thousand miles to see Major McKlnley, and had been on the cars for thirty-four hours, but their enthusiusm was unbounded. They cheered, and shouted, and ap plauded for several minutes. This dele gation came a greater distance to visit Major. McKlnley than any of his other callers. He addressed It as follows You have journeyed farther than nnv orher delegation of the United Stales that has honored me with a visit at my home, and I appreciate it more than 1 can tlnd words to speak. It shows better than any worns that could be uttered what Is in your minds and hearts and what your purposes are in the election to be held on Nov. 3. You are interested in the pros perity of your country. There was a time when some men were In the habit of say ln It did not make any difference to the railway men of the country what kind of a llnancii'.l policy we had or what kind of a tariff policy we pursued. I have heard It a thousand times frm the rostrum thut while the tariff might help the men en gaged in the factories. It had no influence upon the wages of the men who were en Kaged upon the great transportation lln':s of the country. If any of you believed that statement four years ntjo, you do not believe it now. (Cries of "That's right.") lieeause you know that upon the general prosperity of the country depends vour employment and wnj.es. In the last three years and a half no property has suffered more than the railroads; many of th"m have been compelled to no into bank ruptcy; many of them have been unable to pay either their bonds or their Interest on them; and thut is only because the change of iw.2 settled paralysis upon the buslners of the l.'nlted States. What we want is. first, a market for the products f the great west, so that you can haul those products from the west to thi eastern shore and not have products sent tliem from the other side of the Atlantic. Yon want that as Interested railroad men; but you do not want a cheap dollar anv how. This Is not a cheap country. (A voice, "And this is not a cheap crowd.") We have today the best money in the world, but the trouble Is It dues not circu late. As I ha'"c said before, money does not make business business makes money. Money does not bring work. It Is work that brings money. So all the years of my public life, I have been advocating an industrial policy that will protect the American producer against the cheaper firoducts of other countries and other and. (Cries of "Hurrah for McKlnley.") A delegation unique in character came next. It was composed of mem bers of the state association of Penn sylvania, directors and overseers of the poor. The association has been holding Its annual session In Pittsburg and the members decided to call on Major Mc Klnley today before departing for their homes. Major McKlnley addressed them brlelly, saying: "Your spokesman has very well said that the way to de crease the Moor list Is to Increase the opportunity for work, (Applause). And If there Is one thins more than an other that a Republican party desires it Is that every man beneath our flag who wants to work shall have an op portunity to do so. ' The fourth delegation was a large one from several counties In Northwestern Ohio. There were 1,400 voters in the party. The last delegation, the largest one of the day, came from Armstrong county, Pa. There were 2,500 men In line when the delegation marched up with Its band playing lively airs. Robert Nay fynlth spoke for the plate glass workers in the delegation and presented Major McKlnley with a large mirror made at Ford City. THE INSULT TO CARLISLE.

It must have been a company of rulliuns Imported fnvn other states who offerer! you the Insult. In this connection I wish to assure you that on the occasion of your visit to Louis ville I will see to It personally that every facility for free speech and a fair hearing will be afforded you. George D. Todd. VETERAN'S LAST WORDS. He Begged His Friends to Vote Tor MrKiulcy. Topeka, Kan., Oct. 23. There was an affecting scene at the bedside of O. W. Whiteside, an oldf soldier, who died In Gray county yesterday. He had called a consultation of physicians and begged them to save his life so that he couid vote for his comrade, William McKlnley, for president. When told that he was at death's door the obi man could not restrain his EXief, and In tears he, asked his kin tit ed and friends to vote for McKin Uy. These were his last words. M'KINLEY' SCERT AINT Y. Hon. Lewis D. Apsley Predicts That the Champion of Protection Will Have. 325 Electoral Votes. Washington. Oct. 23. Hon. Lewis) D. Aiisdey, vice chairman of the Republi can congressional committee, today gave out the following statement: On Sept. 7 I predicted that Major Mckin ley would have Sid electoral votes. After further careful study of a canvass recent ly mude, we feel confident that this will be Increased to ?, and I arrive at this re sult by the following table: New Hampshire 4 California Connecticut S Iowa 13 Kansas 13 Delaware S Wyoming Illinois 24 .Maryland Indiana 13 .Massachusetts 15 Michigan H New jersey l' Kentucky Minnesota I' New York iW Nebraska 8 North Dakota 8 Pennsylvania 1- Ohlo - 2:1 Oregon 4 Maine lthodfl Island 4 South Dakota Vermont I Washington I West Virginia ' Wisconsin 12 Tennessee 12 North Carolina 11 Total 825 In addition to this 325 there Is a proabll Ity of his receiving 44 additional electoral votes, making !9, as follows: States like, ly to go for McKlnley: Missouri, 17; Tex as. 15; Virginia, 12. Total, 44. I concede to Mr. Bryan but 71 electoral votes, as follows: rtah ' Alabama 11 Arkansas 8 Colorado 4 Florida 4 Georgia 13 Idaho 3 Mlsslsslnoi 9 Montana I 3 Nevada 3 South Carolina 9 Louisiana 8 Total 78 About ten days ago Chairman Babcock estimated that we would elect not less than 194 Republican members to the next house. The information we have since received justifies me in predicting now the election of at least 224 sound money Re publicans to the Fifty-fifth congress. Mr. Wabcock Is malting a vigorous and aggres sive fight and I believe his efficient work between now and election day Will mate rially increase this number. I look for some phenomenal majorities In a great many states. In my own state, Massachusetts. I expect to see Major Mc Kinley's majority more than 125.UHU, and the majorltv for our candidate for gover nor, Roger Wulcott. will exceed this num ber, in view of the fact that the Democrat. Ic-Popullst candidate, George Frederl"k Williams, will receive less than 75,000 votes. AIR. HOBART'S ESTIMATE. lie Considers the Election of the lleptiblicnn Ticket n Certainty. Fatersi.ii, N.

EX-SPEAKER CRISP DIES AT ATLANTA The N.ted Statesman Expires at a Sanitarium. A WELL-KNOWN POLITICAL FIGURE Born in England, Where His Parents Had Gone on a Visit, lie Was De clared Ineligible for tbe'OIGce of Vice-President, but Won Distinc tion ns Judge, Congressman . and Speukcr. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 23. Hon. Charles Frederick Crisp, speaker of the fifty first and fifty-second congresses, died at Holmes' sanitarium here at 1.45 o'clock this afternoon. A paroxysm of pain in the heart preceded death, the paroxysm probably resulting from a rupture of the heart as the result of fatty degeneration. Judge Crisu came to Atlanta six weeks ago for treatment. He was then suffering from a typical case or mal arial fever which had developed at his home In Americus. Judge Crisp Improved slowly until last week he was out driving sev eral times, and he was getting stronger until Sunday night, when he was at tacked with symptoms of his old trouble, pneumonia. On Tuesday the congestion of the lungs disappeared, but the patient was so weak that Mrs. Crisp telegraphed for her children, and all came next day. On Wednesday and yesterday Judge Crisp's condition im proved and his family were hopeful un a paroxysm of pain near the heart. At midnight there was another attack and they continued at Intervals ' all through the night and forenoon. He suffered intense pain but was conscious up to the very last. Judge Crisp was one of the leaders of the silver movement In Georgia and on that Issue the state overwhelmingly Indorsed htm for the United States sen ate, to which he would have been elect ed almost unanimously by the legisla ture, which meets next Wednesday. His death at this time complicates the situation and may lead to a bitter tight for the senatorshlp. Perhaps other of fices will be involved too. Judge Crisp declined to contest for renomlnatlon to the house. While the funeral arrangements have not been completed It has been decided that the body will lie in state at the capltol tomorrow and addresses will be de livered by Governor Atkinson and members of the Georgia congressional delegation. CAUSE OP HIS ILLNESS. The serious illness of ex-Speaker Crisp and the probability of Us ter minating fatally have been known to his Intimate friends for some time, but have only been spoken of crmM dentially. His aliment took Its origin In the excitement arising out . of his joint debate with Secretary Hoke Smith last summer. When he was forced to withdraw from that debate for physical reasons, his friends persuaded him to enter a sanitarium for treatment. He was subject to heart disease. Reassur ing reports as to recovered health have apprared from time to time, but they have largely discounted by those fully informed as to the facts. Mr. Crisp was one of the best liked men in Congress. He commanded the respect of friends and opponents by his cbility und his generally unruffled Judicial fairness, which was broken upon only once or twice during the bit ter controversy with Speaker Read over the Reed rules. He was born In Sheffield, England, where his parents had gone on a visit in 1S45, and tills fnct took him out of the category of vice presidential possibilities when some years ago his name wns sug gested tor that office. He was brought to the United States before he was a year old, was educated in Savanah and Maccn. Ga., served in the Con federate army and was mad ? prisoner, was admitted to the bar in lS'W, be came successively State solicitor gen era! judge, congressman and speaker of the Horse of Representatives in the Siil ard C?d congresses. His congres sional career In the lower House ex tended over fourteen yens, nnd he was ih choice of his party for United States bene tor when he died. CURRENCY REPORTS. First Volume Containing Consular Com pilations Is Issued from the Depart ment at Washington. Washington, Oct. 23. The secretary of state sent an instruction to the dip lomat Ic and consular officers of the Uni ted Stntes July 25 last, directing them that as "In view of the great popular interest in this country In the currency question, the experience of other na tions becomes a matter of immediate importance" to prepare a report of the currency of the countries to which they were accredited showing among other things, the nature of the standard of value, amount of money In circulation, the effect of the existing currency on manufacturing industries, rates of la bor, and agricultural products and prices. It was stated that the object of the department is to set forth the actual conditions In every country of the world In order that the people of the United States n.ay be accurately In formed as to the practical effects on in dustrial activity, prices of commodities, and wages of the various systems of currency in force. The department today Issude the first volume consisting of 270 pages of these reports covering all the reports so far received. Including those of European and South American countries, Mexico and Central America. Frederick Em ory, chief of the department bureau of statistics, who is In charge of the publication, summarises the report as follows: While it is evident, from the many varia tions In prices of the commodities and rates of wages prevailing during the past ten years, as disclosed in detail In the re. ports, an exact expression of the general results cannot be given within the com pass of a single table; It is possible to group together statements as to the na ture of the currency and the per capita circulation and an approximation to the freneral changes In prices and wages the ncrease or decrease In each country treated of. Two Important faots seem to have been established, viz.: First That there has been a general de cline In', the prices of commodities, espe cially In certain raw products throughout the world. It Is claimed, on the one hand that this decline In prices Is due to scarc ity of money, and on the other hand that It Is to be attributed to progress In Inven tion and Increased production both of raw materials and manufacturers, causing keener competition, with the Inevitable accompaniment of lower prices. It will te noted that lb Mexico prices have ben steadier for articles which could be most profitably extorted for gold, and that sharp fluctuations, due to local scarcity of product, have occurred In such articles s wheat and corn, in -which the prices have been generally downward in the markets of the world. Second That there has been a general advance In wages, especially marked in the leading Industrial countries, all of which have either a single gold standard or a double standard with a gold reserve. MISSOURI TRAIN ROBBERY. Chicago and Alton No. 48 Is Held t'p by Bandits. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 23. Blue cut between Independence and Glendale, Mo., was the scene of another train robbery at 5.40 o'clock this evening. Chicago and Alton train, No. 4S, was held up by four bandits, who compelled the engineer to use his coal hammer to break open a small safe. One of the robbers went through the passenger cars pretending to take a poll while the others attended to the express messen ger, fireman and engineer. It is said the robbers got $20,000, but this is not substantiated. This is the second time that a Chi cago and Alton train has been robbed I in i'.lue Cut, which was made famous j oy a rouiiery uy tne James noys. in spector Flahive, of Kansas City, left this evening with a posse of eight men for the place where the robbery occur red. It is about 12 miles from Kansas City. The train robbed was a fast ex press enroute from Chicago to Kansas City. None of the pnssengers was mo lested and many of them did nut know a robbery had occurred. The train was stopped by displaying a red flag. Not a shot was fired. The bandits had Win chesters and are supposed to have had horses hitched close at hand. DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW. Advance of Wheat the Business Event of the HourMany Contracts Condi lioaed on Election Returns. New York, Oct. 23. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade will say: The event of the week has been the sen sational advance of wheat The rise wab magnified Uy covering of specula te sellers who imagined the advance had gone too far, but was at the bot tom based on an extraordinary for eign demand. How great the shortage In ordinary European supplies may be Is the point of doubt and speculation, but none now question that shipments from the Pacific coast to India and the decrease In Kussian yield are Import ant, and the buying of enormous quan tities for export, with engagements of freight room at higher rates, express the belief of European dealers. The most striking features of indus trial returns is the number of con tracts conditioned upon the election. These already are enough to make business rather lively for a time, and many others are pending which will probably be held back until Nov. 1. Buying of Bessemer pig at Pitts burg causes a slight advance, and all markets are strong for pig, but not for I finished products. Very low prices are made ror speedly delivery by mills wanting work. The tone of the mar ket It better and a decided increase of orders appears in plates, about 3,000 tons for building vessels on the lakes, and Instructural work at the west, ow ing to contracts taken at Chicago for buildings at Boston, Toronto and Min neapolis. A reduction in nails is ex pected. A sale of about five million pounds were made of lake copper at lO'.f cents to domestic consumers. Tin is a shade higher at 13.80. The move ment of currency to the Interior has been only S3.SOO.000 for the week, and the market for commercial loans has been dull. The volume of business shown by exchanges has been 8.7 per cent, less than last year, and 9.6 per cent, less than in 1892. Failures for the week have been 274 in the United States against 231 last year, and 60 in Canada against 38 last year. NOVEL BET ON NEW YORK.

AN INJUNCTION HAS BEEN GRANTED The Delay Is Liable to Complicate Matters Considerably in Philadel phia Unless the Injunction Is Made PermanentCrow Will Engage Counsel and Fight Case with Vigor. Philadelphia, Oct 23. An Important step was taken to-day by the opponents of Alexander Crow, Jr., the Demo cratic and Independent Republican candidate for sheriff of Philadelphia. This move Is in the shape of a prelim inary Injunction served upon thu coun ty commissioners restraining them from printing and distributing olilclal ballots with the column known as the "McKlnley Citizen's Ticket" upon it. The Injunction Is the result of a bill In equity asked for by Frank P. Hend ley, a wholesale grocer of the Twelfth ward of this city, and who Is also one of the Republican electors. The ground upon which the injunction is granted alleges that fraud was used to get this column on the ticket. . The Injunction was granted by Judge Slmonton. of the Dauphin County Court, and it was secured by John H. Fow, a well-known Democ ratio politi cian and lawyer of this city. Judge Simonton wan taking part In the exercises at Princeton College, and he was visited there by Mr. Fow last night When the papers were present ed, the judge, accompanied Mr. Fow to Pennsylvania and Issued the Injunction prayed for. The hearing has been fixed for Tuesday next at 2 o'clock p. m.. In Harrlsburg, and In the meantime the printing of the ballots has been stopped. This action upon the part of the Dauphin County Court ia of importance In all ' the counties of the State, as for some time the county commissioners in various sections of the State have complained that the addi tion of this column to this ballot makes It unnecessarily large, and they can not find printing presses in the country newspaper ofliees sufficiently large to print them. EFFECT OF THE INJUNCTION. In the event of the Injunction be coming perpetual It will establish ex actly the position of the rival candi dates for sheriff of Philadelphia on the ballot. Mr. Ashbridge's name will ap pear In the regular Republican column underneath the electoral ticket. Mr. Crow's will be printed In three sep arate columns, the regular Democratic, the free silver and the McKlnley-Crow, but In neither column will the name appear conjointly with the Republican electoral ticket This change, if sustained by the Dauphin county court on Tuesday next, will obviously be to the advantage of Mr. Ashbridge. Mr. Crow will en gage counsel and fight vigorously to prevent the column being taken off the ballot. County Commissioner Richmond, In speaking of the Injunction, said that the matter was of vital Importance to them in one particular that of time. "Even now we were hardly able to have the ballots printed and distribut ed before election day," he said, "and this delay is going to complicate mat ters considerably. With the hearing fixed for next Tuesday it will leave us but some three or four working days in which the printer can do the work. This represents the printing of over half a million ballots, divided into nearly a thousand lots for the 970 di visions in the city. It will have to be done, of course, and will be done, and should the Injunction stand It will sim plify matters considerably." FALKNER'S BIG BLUFF. He Claims That Bryan Will Be the Next President and Snatches Figures from the Air to Substantiate. Washington, Oct. 23. Senator Faulk ner, chairman of the Democratic con gressional committee, talked more pos itively today about the results of the election than at any time up to this point. "Mr. Bryan will be the next president of the United States," said he. "The information that has come to us during the last week shows that nothing now can stem the tide that has set In In his direction. Kentucky Is good for 20,000 majority, and Maryland, which has tried a year of Republican rule, will cast her vote as does Kentucky. West Vir ginia will shake oft the nightmare of two years ago, and redeem herself In the eyes of the country, both in the presidential and congressional election. It Is conceded by everyone that we will carry everything west of the Missouri river, and this, with the south, and the states I have named, gives Mr. Bry an 2;' votes, with but four necessary to elect him. For these four he has the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota to draw from. Does anyone doubt that he will get votes in some of these states? If he carries Illinois we can lose four of the states I have put In my estimate and still win; If we carry Michigan and Indiana we ran lose the same number of states without harm. Minnesota will elect Lind governor, and the same votes that elect him will under the secret bal lot, give the state to the Democratic candidate for president. Michigan is today safely Democratic. The election Is all over but counting the vote, and I say to you that Bryan will be the next president." DEATH OF COLUMBUS DELANO. Grant's Commissioner of Internal Revenue Passes Away.
