ANOTHER LIVELY
DAY AT CANTON
Major M'Klnley Entertains Many Ed
tbusiastic Admirers.
A LARGE DELEGATION OF WOMEN
The Visitors Received in the Taber
uncleA Tribute to the Iti-publican
PartvAn Address to the Aged
Visitors--. Constituent of Jackson
Who Will Vote the Republican
Ticket.
Canton. O., Oct. 28. All Canton was
divided in two parts this evening,
those who marched to Major McKin
ley's and those who viewed and cheered
the marching throngs. The business
men of Canton, Irrespective of party,
announced a few days ago that on
Wednesday about sundown they would
call in a body on Major McKlnley. To
night they made good their promise
and they wore joined In their demon
stration by most of the others in the
city. More than &.000 formed in line
and mart-hod with banners and bands
to the McKlnley residence just at sun
down. Darkness fell as they gathered
in solid phalanx and in the street
around the candidates home. There
were acres of people. Kar as the eye
could reach the glittering arc lights
revealed a sea of upturned faces.
Major McKlnley has not been greeted
by a larger or more earnest assemb
lage than that of his own townsmen
which confronted him tonight. He was
visibly affected and there was a thrill
of emotion In his voice when he spoke.
It was the most engaging and inspir
ing Btvne of a day that has been crowd
ed with pleasant and interesting inci
dents. To his fellow townsmen and
neighbors, Major McKlnley suld:
It would be a hard heart Indeed thnt
would not be moved by this mugntHccut
demonstration ot my neighbor ami fellow
townsmen, who have assembled here to
night, without regard to party, nation
ality or creed to give expression to their
good will, great cause, for which 1 have
been designated to stand.
The great demonstration of two weeks
ago from lhe worklngmen of the city (a,
voire, "They are here again, Major" and
applause!, was one that filled me with the
most profound feeling of gratitude, and
then to have this supplement, from the
business men of the community the mtn
and the women, is the crowning assurance
of your conildence and regard. I have
been accustomed to receive from your
hands so many kindnesses for so many
yours thnt I was prepared for almost any
demonr'tiiitlon, but this latest one till-s
me with gratitude and thankfulness quite
Inexpressible and brings to me an honor
that appreciation of which 1 do not con
ceal If 1 would, and I would not conceal it
If 1 could. (Cheers).
THE FEOPLE AROUSED.
The people are aroused as never before
and 1 believe thut the election on next
Tuesday will show a much larger vote
that was ever polled In the history of our
country before. Every American elector
feels this year that lis has a grave duty
resting uikiii him and they ar not onlv
going to vote, but they are going to vote
right, Independent of old party or polit
ical ties. (Cheers). It is not a question
of candidates. It Is not contention for of
fice; it Is a contention for country, not a
contention inspired by sectional consider
ations, but of devotion to the duty whicii
affects and inspire the great heait of "he
American people. Not since the lirst shot
went crashing ngulni't the walls of Sum
ter, rudely awakening the startled na
tion to the realization that civil war had
commenced, had -tho masses of oir fel
low countrymen ever been aroused as
now. With what shall always seem to me
an unaccountable rashness, it is proposed
at the end of a hundred and twenty years
of a glorious national lite, proposed in
earnestness, for ll.e first time in our his
tuiy, to cast reproach iipoii the honor of
the American name.
The proposition Is unworthy of Amer
ican citizenship and Is an insult to the in
tegrity, the good faith and the inspiring
history of our great republic. It should
receive, a.id I Lflieve it will receive lu
ting rebuke from the ballots of tiftceu mil
lion of f.temen. It should bo so over
whelmingly defeated that no national con
vention of nnv great party will ever dnre
make so debasing a proposition In any
important iclitk-al campaign again. The
AnierL'un people will never take so rash
ami wicked a s-up us to invalidate or lin.
pair tho value of their own government
obligation. They will never consent by
popular vote or otherwise to the repudia
tion of one farthing of their national d ht
They will never brook the thought ot not
looking the whole world in the face and
rhaili-n:;lntc any nation to point to a
more liouo'-aole or creditable record than
ours. Hut. I'iy felolw citizens, the argil
nieiits have been made; the ease is ready
to go to the Jury and the jury is wafting
impatiently to unnounce Its verdict, and
we. as Republicans, conlidentlv submit
our contention to the great tribunal of
I lie American people the highest and best
hope in the world.
At a meeting this evening the Ladies'
McKinley club ot 'union was organ
ized. The club will call on Major Mc
Klnley Saturday. The Canton troop
called formally on Major McKlnley this
morning and through their captain ad
dressed some words of greeting to Ma
dressed some words of greeting who
responded pleasantly.
THE FIRST DELEGATION.
The lirst delegation that loomed up
through the ruin and mist came from
Wellsville, Ohio. It was composed of
seventy-Jive women, who were pre
sented to Major McKlnley by Dr. Parks.
Major McKlnley made a brief speech
thanking the women for the deep in
terest which they manifest In public
affairs this year.
Shortly after noon a large delegation
of citizens from Buffalo, N. T., arrived
to pay their respects to Major McKin
ley. The delegation was composed of
members of the Republican league and
the Central Italian club, of Buffalo.
The men were handsomely uniformed
and inarched with military precision.
When Major McKinley advanced to
the edge of the platform the audience
rose to its feet and cheered tumultous
ly. It was an inspiring scene. Major
McKlnley spoke with great vigor and
earnestness.
TRIBUTE TO THE PARTY.
Among other things he said:
The Republican party occupies this year
a post of most distinguished honor and re
sponsibility. It has been given to few
parties la the history of the American re
publiu to take the position thus occupied
bv our grand old party, standing as It
does for country, sound currency, public
honor, the supremacy of the law and
great federal courts that have been incor.
ruptlble in the past and have been our
safeguard In every time of peril. (Cheers).
The Republican party assumed the re
sponsibility which is assigned it and con
gratulates itself that this year, carrying
the Hag of our country, carrying the
standard that represents the best things
In government, that around such a ban.
ner will rally not only Republicans, but
Democrats from every section of our
common country. We want to return to a
policy that protects and defends American
labor, the American workshop and the
American market and takes Into account
always that the best thing for any coun.
try Is that which gives work to the men
of the country and insures labor against
idleness. (Cheers), Then, we want a
pallcy thnt will raise enough money from
tariffs ard titration to pay as we go.
Slop i ' hi.:, r'nli. i-nt ies and bonds in time
of pc-.t. 'ihei.. my fellow cltlsens, we
v.r: t to continue the present standard
monetary and financial system we have
today, where, very dollar is the equal of
every other dollars and which Is equal
loone hundred cents in gold.
After the sopeeh making the Buffalo del
egation escoi-ud Major .McKinley to his
residence, where a photograph was takon.
PPKECH TU AGED PERSONS
A delegation from Minerva, Ohio,
which Majo.' McKlnley addressed in the
Tabernacle this afternoon, cuiiainej
many aged people The spAesmnn,
Hiram Hosteller, is 7J years old. and a
Mr. t'ngiv, who sat n the platform, is
91 and voted for uackson. ll will
brenk a i!e long rjnord of adherence
to the Democratic party this year l.y
voting for McKlnley. Major McKin
ley in addressing his old constituents
from Minerva said:
Nothing does accomplish so much good
as a revival of patriotism uiul thai is what
we are having this year from one end of
the country to the other. All this mam
that the people are to.be trusted with tho
conduct of the government and that they
are fully competent to attend to the In
terests of the republic and are especially
zealous this year, for the honor and credit
of the lniled. States. We nilKht just .is
well settle this years for ull time that this
Is not a nation of reptnltutors and that we
propose to pay every obligation of the gov
ernment in the best form of money known
to the civilized world at the time ot puy
nient. .My fellow cltlsens, the hope of
this country and Its future are In the In
terest of the plain people, in the plain
American home where virtue presides and
Where truth reigns. You love the thing
that arc good and loving that you are c,o
ing to vote for them for this will brimj
honor and glory to the republic. (Cheers).
The next deHvnliun was from Tiro,
Crawford cov.iity, Ohio. It was pre
sented by Charles McCotinell. Major
McKinley, in response to his remarks,
sin ike briefly.

Wheeling people called at the house on

E. A. Johnson, J. M. Allen and Thomas
8. Stanley. The talks were reminis

BECK IS OFFENSIVE.
CongrcsKninn is After the Scalp ol' a
Hitter Partisan.
Allentown, Pa., Oct. 28. Ex-Con-
nt.i.uutnan In.Iavr unl tta fill
lowing telegram to Mr. Cleveland:
Hon. Grovcr Cleveland. Executive Man
sion, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir: District Attorney Beck, cf
Philadelphia, made an offensive partisan
speech here last night, In which he as
sailed the regular Democrats, who support
Messrs, Bryan and Sewall, the regular
nominees of the party und those support
ers made your election possible in
and without which .Mr. Week would not
ocotip his present lucrative position.
Among tne offensive things lie said:
' We will end this fallacy of lungs, lun
acy and larceny on next Tuesday." He
seems to be an offensive partisan of the
worst kind, ami by such utterances gave
offence to more than nine-tenths of all
the loyal and faithful Democrats here.
As an otttcer of the law, he certainly shows
bad taste, and demonstrates his unfitness
to uphold law ami order, however able he
may otherwise be to till his high office.
You removed several of these officers In
the department of Justice for much less
offensiveness, notably. District Attorney
Henry D. Clayton, of Alabama, for onlv
being a candidate for congress on the
regular Democratic ticket in his state.
The irlvll service rules ought to operate
on all alike. Respectfully,
illam H. Sowden.

formerly editor of the Populist na
tional organ, ha3 prepared an appeal
to Populists to cut loose from the
Democratic alliance. Mr. Dunning also
defends the attitude of Mr. Watson,
the Populist candidate for vice-president.
He also makes an attack upon
the Populist party leaders ,"for wil
fully and treacherously leading It Into
its present unfortunate and precarious
predicament."
The real Populist sentiment, he says,
was subordinated to ofilcial greed, and
the principles of the reform party made
a matter of merchandise.
Mr. Whitney's Denial.
New York. Oct. 28. Hon. William C.

a morning newspaper that at the Chicago

GARRET HOBAPJ
AT LONG BRANCH
Lively Campaign Work by tbe Vice
Presidential Candidate.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM IN NEW JERSEY
Major Mckinley's Running Mate
Awakens the Slumbering Patriotism
Along the Atlantic CoasN-Brief
Talk on tbe Currency Question.
Long Branch, N. J.. Oct. 28. Thou
sands of people crowded into the Ocean
theater at Long Branch tonight and
heard the issues of the campaign dis
cussed by Garret A. liobart. Governor
Griggs, Wallace Ilruce and other not
able speakers. Owing to the torch
light parade It was nearly 9 o'clock be
fore llal Packer, chairman of tho Re
publican campaign club, called the
meeting to order. William A. Helsley,
of Long Brunch, was chosen chairman.
Mr. Ilobart was greeted -with cheers
and applause and it was Beveral min
utes before he could be heard. He pre
faced his address by an appeal to the
voters to return to congress Benjamin
A. Howell in order that the free silver
fnllacy might be totally obliterated. He
also spoke in favor of the local nomi
nees. It was a good day's work when you
elected Governor Griggs. 1 never could
understand why Monmouth county gave
Grover Cleveland a majority of 1S.0(i0.
There was prosperity and plenty of wage-j
then. The national credit was perfect;
the public debt was decreasing. You have
'tiled ailrrnistrations under protection
and free trade. Which do you like best?
It is for vou to say whether or not you will
go back'agaln to the present hard times.
There has come Into this campaign a false
Issue. You are to decide whether It shall
be a debased currency or the standard cf
currenry you now enjoy. Free ellver
means the confiscation of ono-half of the
property you have saved; the repudiation
of half of vour debts. Is there any reason
for this? The whole Is a conspiracy of
the silver mine owners in order that they
might get rich at -public expense. Under
the Bland and Sherman laws the t'nited
States bought 4i5.nm),ij0 oulcea of silver.
At the present price of stiver the gov
ernment has lost $ln'J,OOo,o'0 which you and
1 must pay for. Free silver, according to
'le Chicago Popullstlo platforaro, will
make us a tifty-cent nation. No honest
dollar can be made from ilfty cents' worth
of silver plus a legislative Hat.
In closing, Mr. Hobart quoted from
the speech of Hourke Cockran. While
In Long Branch, Mr. Hobart was the
guest of his aunt. Mrs. Garret A. Vsn
derveer. He visited the home of his
birth at Loyaltown, on the outskirts
of Long Branch, and later paid his re
spects to the local politicians.

and welfare of the people; that all things
may bo bo ordered and settled by their
endeavors upon the best und surest foun.

and justice, religion and piety may be es

"Thesoi and all other necessities for
them, for us ami Thy whole church, wo
humbly beg In the name and mediation cf
J"sus Christ, our most blessed Lord and
Saviour. Amen."

Campaign Committee Chairman
Campau received today additional tele
graphic finul reports from state com
mittees chairmen In New York and
Pennsylvania as follows:
New York Letters from farming sec
tions of New York state uiul the enthusi
asm of working classes in the metropolis
afford ample assurances of victory for
Bryan. Farmers are offering lands end
crops to our silver party committee for
the cause.
Pennsylvania Is making a great battle
and is not surely Kepubllcan. Great sil
ver gains are reported from all the aiiH
cilltural counties and our mining counties
are fairly- ablaze with enthusiasm. Where
as, we have now but two congressmen, we
expert to return ten or twelve to help
President Bryan carry out his proposed

THREW EGGS AT BRYAN.
Two Young Men Are Under Arrest at
Chicago.
Chicago, Oct. 28. The two young
men, Chauncey M. Foster and Lewis
Hanchell, were arrested this noon for
throwing eggs at Mr. Bryan during his
ride from the train to Battery V yes
terday. They admit their guilt. Fos
ter is seventeen years old and the son
of a retired merchant; Hanchell is the
same age. His father is vice-president
of the Hanchell Paper company. The
boys were locked up pending further
investigation.
On learning of the arrest of the young
men, Mr. Bryan at once wrote County
Chairman Galian as follows:
"Dear Mr. Gahan: 1 wish you would
ask for the release of the boys arrested
for throwing eggs. 1 am sure It was an
act of thoughtlessness, and their arrest
has doubtless been a sufficient lesson to
them and others. Yours truly,
W. J. Bryan.."
Principal Powers, of the business col
lege, announces that the boys will be
expelled from that Institution.

VIRGINIA IS kLl'SLICAN.
Opinion of Coloucl Jumc Fuirmnn,
the Artist and Orator.
New York, Oct. 2S. Colonel James
Fairman, of Scranton, who has been
speaking in different states during the
campaign, called at Republican head
quarters this afternoon.
Colonel Fairman said there was a
genuine revolution taking place In the
political situation in Virginia.
"There tire hostsof Democrats there,"
he said, "who now seize the. unusual
opportunity offered them to abandon
their party with a good excuse and vote
for McKinley and protection without
stultifying themselves. It is beyond
doubt thnt these men now making a
deliberate, well considered choice of a
new political path are in it a great
percentage of them at least today.
Virginia may be put down hereafter us
a Republican state."
MURDEROUS HIGHWAYMEN
They Kill a Young Married Woman and
Drag Her Husband From a Car
riate and Rob Him.
Norristown, Pa., Oct. 2S. Murderous
highwaymen did bloody work Just out
side the limits of this borough early
this evening. Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Kiser, a young couple of Norrlstown,
were returning from an afternoon
drive, when, Just; before they reached
the borough limits, two men-sprang
from the roadside and seized the
horse's head. The men were armed
with revolvers and they demanded ot
Kiser that he turn over to them his
valuables. Despite the threatening
pistols, Kiser refused the demand ot
the highwaymen and stnrted to whip
up his horse. Thereupon the desper
adoes opened fire. Kiser was shot
through the arm and his wife was shot
through the head and instantly killed.
Undaunted by the murderous effect of
their fire, the highwaymen completed
their work. They dragged Kiser from
the carriage and robbed him of his
watch and the money he had about
him. The ruffians then rifted Mrs.
Kitt-r's body of her gold watch and
made their escape. Bleeding and faint
ing, Kiser dragged himself to a nearby
house and summoned assistance. He
way brought to his home here and is
badly wounded. Kiser was able to give
the authorities a good description of
the highwaymen and the police of this
borough and Philadelphia are bending
eveiy effort to capture the bandits.
