The rain of last Saturday kept many of our citizens from joining the excur sion to Canton, but yet about 825 left on the trains from here— 22s came down the P. & W: 100 from the Shenango, and 510 tickets were sold here. The run to Canton was made without •pecial incident, the three sections arriv ing at Canton at about 2 p. m. (a few minutes after the arrival of the Mercer delegation) and marched up to Mckinley's home, where they found a vast crowd awaiting his appearance. During the morning it had been raining and McKin ley spoke to a large delegation of rail road and commercial men from Chicago and Illinois, Cincinnati and other cities and states; the Pittsburg Commercial men and other delegations from Alle gheny Co. in the Opera House. By 2 o'clock he had not yet had his dinner, but it had stopped raining and he went out to the platform erected in front of his lot, listened to the three Mer cer and one Butler orator (Col. Thomp son) and then spoke as follows. My fellow citizens —I have been very much touched by the messages of greet ing and congratulation which have been given to me from Mercer and Butler counties in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is our nearest neighbor, and the two states have always been in the fullest ac cord in political belief and purpose, I ap preciate the message which comes from the fanners, from the working men of those two counties and from my fellow citizens generally, and I thank them all from the bottom of my heart for their warm tender of support and assurance of fidelity to the Republican cause and to the Republican party. (Cries of Hurrah for Mckinley.) What we want in this coun try first and foremost, is work for Ameri can workingmen. (Applause.) Rail way men in this country who want to work ouuht to have the opportunity tn work, (Criesof 'that's the idea.') and that opportunity is always limited to the extent that we have our work done in European workshops by European la bor, and I am one of those who believe in the doctrine of protecting American factories against foreign factories (Cries of Good and great applause.) and the American workingmen of the old world. {Cries of Hurrah for McKinley.) This u our country, and if we don't have it just as we want it it will be our fault and not anyone else's, and the way we in culcate the policies for our country is through the use of the ballot. (A voice: That's the stuff old boy.') Now you have tried partial free trade in the Unit ed States how do you like it? Laughter and applause.) Not only have the work ingmen themselves suffered but the farmers have suffered in their home mar ket. (Cries of that's right.) There is not a farmer in Butler or in Mercer coun ties that is present to-day who has not suffered from the reduced protection of the factories of those two counties. (Ap plause. ) What we want is a chance to work and when we have made wages the home market is improved for the farmers We wan'; honest American dollars. (Cries of that's right.) And you want to vote for that party that you believe is more likely to give you tne best chance for work and the best coin in payment. (Ap plause and cries of You bet we will.) And then you must judge for yourself which party that is (A voice: We already know.) I thauk you for this call and wish I could talk longer, but must bid you all goodhy. (Applause.) A delegation of Pittsburg & Wertern railroad men from Foxbrug Pa., were the next callers. They all carried tin buck ets. Their spokesman was D. G. Mori arty. In response to his remarks Mai* McKinley said: "My fellow citizens: I regret very much that I could not have had you here earlier in the morning when I had the pleasure of addressing 6,000 railroad em ployes from the city of Chicago, repre senting all the great roads entering in that wonderful commercial city. It was a sight that was most inspiring to all o( us and most encouraging for tne cause in which we are engaged, and for whose triumph, with them you will contribute your share. (Applause.) I am glad to meet and greet this little body of rail road men known as the Sound Money Club of Foxburg. This year partyism counts for much less than formerly and in all the delegations that come to me to givti me assurances of support and en couragement, there are in these delega tions large numbers of men who never before voted the Republican ticket. (Ap plause aud cries of that's right.) They are with us this year because they believe in their country and because they believe that patriotism demands that they should turn their backs upon their party organi zations and join that party for this con test that represents sound money, notion al honor and a protective tariff. (Three cheers for McKinley.) lam glad to meet and greet you all and bid you God speed. lam glad to see that you come from a town—or state at least—where tin is made (cries of Good.) —good, honest, American tin plate, which some people used to say we could not make in the United States (cries of We fooled them.) but which we are making with great success aud furnishing employment to the workingmen of the country. I thank fou for this call and bid you goodby.'' Loud cheers and waving of tin buckets.] Delegations from Cincinnati and Clev eland followed and McKinley was kept talking all day, The Butler people scattered through the town after their reception and secur ed something to eat, the train started home shortly after 5 o'clock and reached here between io and 11 o'clock. "DISGRACBFCI, mockery" is what Gladstone terms the pretended solicitude of the concerted powers of Europe for the Armenian sufferers. It is interesting to read, in this connection, the late dis patcher, which state that the Sultan is treating the protests of the powers with indifference, feeling sure that their jeal ousy of each other will protect him in his bloody crusades. The actual number of victims of the recent disorders in Con »tantinopl« was over 5,c00, nearly all be fog Armenian*, CANTON'S BIGGKST DAY. Last Friday was the biggest day "Can ton has ever seen or probably ever will see. The number of outsiders in the town that day was estimated at from 40,- 000 to 60,000, and the whole day and half the night was devoted to parading, speech making and fireworks. McKmiey made a dozen short speeches to the visiting delegations, shook hands with thousands of men, entertained a dozen people at dinner, and with the crowd listened to the music of thirty-six brass-bands. The first delegation to come in that morning was from Columbia Co., Ohio and it was followed by those from Fair ficlJ,TilLabuig,Coluu»t>u», Altron Wfce:llnng and other places until all the principal streets of the town were crowded. The afternoon meeting was in the big tent which holds 20,000 people. Gov., Bushnell presided and Senator Collum was the first speaker. Collum's remarks were very good and were in part as fol lows. "What a period of distress for the past three years. Plenty of money, but lock ed up—nobody in fact wanting it or dar ing to invest it. lam reminded of the 'Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink. Water, water everywhere, but all the boards did shrink.' "Fellow citizens, the Republican pol icy of protection is still a living issue-it will remain an issue until the Wilson- Gorman bill is repealed and a measure framed on protection lines, is adopted and approved by President McKmiey. "Bryan, Altgeld and their followers say that Gold is dearer than it was in 1873, and that we need more money. The truth is for very many years the price of money has been getting cheapen The our state mail n uscu iu ue. —rt anw en frotn 10 to 7 per cent,and I think men do not pay more than 5 or 6 per cent, and the government is able to get it for 3 and sell its bonds at a premium, while before the war it paid 6 per cent, and sold its bonds at a heavy discount. "Let us not run off after moonshine theories pressed upon us by Bryan, Till man and Altgeld, and men who mav be honest, but who are urging the people of this country to adopt a policy or try an experiment in defiance of the facts of history- and in opposition to the judg ment of the wisest friends of silver in the world. "The Republican party is for bimetal lism. It believes in the use of both gold and silver as money. It believes in the admission of both to the mints of the United States on equal terms, as soon as it can be done with safety and honor. Our party is pledged to.it in the St Louis platform. Senator Thurston was the next speaker He called attention to the contrast be tween the two Presidential candidates, one nominated amid the excitement and hysterif of frenzied emotion and the other in obedience to the ripened and deliber ate demand of the people themselves. Of the present conduct of the two candi dates he said- "One now steepechasing through the country in a mid scramble for place and power, fearlul that some elector may es cape the witchery of his fluted voice; the other, dignified, as befits the exalted place of which he worthily aspires, trust fully and calmly waits in his own home while the nation comes to him. One has for his arena the sand lots—his appeals are to the passion and prejudice of men; the forum of the other is an American door yard; his rostrum is the porch of an American cottage; his words simple and forceful, are addressed to the intelligence the conscience, the patriotism and the common sense of a brave, thoughtful, just and hopeful people." The Senator asserted that the present battle is not between Republicanism and Democracy. The Chicago convention was not the council chamber of the De mocracy. The nominee of that conven tion carries the regular banner, but it was wrestled from true Democracy by Populism and the commune, He told of his visit to the New England States, and how Vermont and Maine spoke not alone for her Repnblidans, but for her true Democracy as well. Massachusetts and New York, he said, would do equally well ,as would Maryland, West Virginia/ Indiana and Ohio. There was another big meeting at night in the tent. The speakers were Gov. Hastings, of Pennsylvania, and Repre sentative McClearney, of Minnesota. Both speakers were enthusiastically re ceived. Gov. Hastings said: "It is of the utmost importance in the present discussion that people should re call the fact that during the period of three-fourths of our national existence there was one question upon which both parties agreed with substantial unan imity. While they were divided upon almost every other question, they travel ed the same road with reference to our currency issues. "The change from the present money standard to free silver involves business revolutions, disaster and ruin. If ulti mately a silver standard were reached, which would place us in the category of free silver nations, the pathway from the gold standard to the free silver basis is fraught with dangers and disasters which the imagination can hardly conceive. "Over cautious peopl,"said Gov. Hast ings, "are placing gold in hiding and are resorting to various devices to keep it in safety vaults against the possible evil day." Citing an instance to prove this assertion he continued: "The bank? of all kinds in this country the trust companies building associations and other kindred institutions, have over $500,000,000 on deposit which sooner or later must be paid. It is ow'ng to the people of the United States. When they want it they have the right to withdraw it under the terms of tlje deposit. If the attempt should be made now it would require three times the amount of all the mouey in the United States to pay it. THE Republican State Committee met in Philadelphia, Tuesday and, according to the of the Dispatch. "The real purpose ofjthe gathering was to empower the State Committee to set tle the Senatorial deadlocks, but the sub ject was not mentioned. The nomina tion of J, C. Steinmen in the Blair- Cam bria district left the tie up in Butler and Armstrong the only one in the State. Senator Meredith asked the committee to interfere, but his opponent, William Ritter, of Butler would not submit. At the last moment Meredith decided that they could reach a conclusion without any out side aid, "The last day for filing certificates of nominal ions is next Monday. It was suggested as a compromise that both candidates withdraw t»nd that a new man be taken from Bntler county. It is But ler's turn. "Should the deadlock continue to the end the Armstrong people have prepared for the contingency, and they claim that with the aid of £<)uay votes in Butler,which would not go to Ritter, that Senator Meredith would pull through in the three-cornered fight. "Senator Meredith was represented by Congressman D. B. Heiner and S. B, Cochrane. Newton Black looked after Butler's interests. Ritter is a combiner, and the committee would have ignored his request if Meredith had not reconsid ered. With both counties in opposition. State Chairman John P. Elki'i did not present the resolution he had in his pock et, and many of the committeemen won dered why they had been called together.' THE Republican Senatorial Conferees had their second meeting at Freeport, Tuesday, did nothing, and adjourned to meet at same place today. Gov. HASTINGS signed Bardsley's par don Monday evening. His action was based entirely on Bardsley's ill health and the fact that last week he sustained , a stroke of paralysis. Bardsley's wife, daughter and sister recently addressed letters to the governor pleading for the pardon of the prisoner. Ax the meeting of the Democratic Con gressional Conference at the Willianl House in Butler, Monday, John McCona liay, an attorney of New Castle, was made the nominee of this district. He spoke in the Opera House that night, and was followed by Ass't U. S. District Attorney Griffith, formerly of Mercer, i SICKLES AND SOUK A Stirring Appeal tor MoKlnley and the National Honor. General Diuiel E. Jiickies. a soldier wliost* personal corsrajre and devotion to his country none U»-e gainsay, and who heretofore has been a avaunch adherent of the Deinocratlo party, has addressed a strong letter iu favor of "McKinlev and national honor" to those comrades who fought in the battles of the rebellion. It Is certain that the words of General Sickles will not fall unheeded on the eari of soldier or civilian, for the brave and gallant warrior who commanded the Third army corps, and who left a leg on the field at Gettysburg as an earnest of his devotion, Is second in popular esteem to no other living general of the Union ar mies. The letter is as follows: My Dear Comrade: I ask you to con sider and reflect upon the saered Interests Involved in the present situation of our public aff I know y«u love your country. You have given to it the best proof of d-j >n man can giro—you have defendei! u I 1 V.ttle. Letine iu ji and every Union vet eran to lay aside party feeling now and unite for n ;.ional honor and for law and order, as you did ia 'ttl-'66 ajfainst treason and rebellion. The present crisis seems to be as vital to the welfare of the oountry as that which called us to the field beforo. Some of the principles for which we then contended are again at stake. Sec tionalism, repudiation and mob rule are threatened. Many of us were obliged to —and our time when all true patriots should stand together, preferring their country, Its honor, good faith and untarnished name above all mere partisan considerations. Hateful Sectionalism. Mr. Bryan and many of his supporters are trying to combine the south and west against the north and east. This is sec tionalism —of which the rebellion was the offspring. Will you follow these guides into dangerous paths, or will you not rather follow Washington in "frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate one portion of our country from tho rest, or to enfeeble tho ties which now link togother the various parts?" Sec tionalism has become hateful to most of our old adversaries in the south, who have outgrown the asperities of the war and are now as loyal to their united cov.ntry as any of us. Union veterans, who fought for one Union, one constitu tion and one destiny, oan never favor any oandidate or party seeking to array on# section of our common country against another. Mr. Bryan proposes to pay all the cred itors of our government In silver. This Is repudiation. 16 would degrado and dls gmco us as .1 nation in the eyes of the whole world. Among the creditors of the nation a.o the pensioners. If you oonsont to piy in debased silver the bondholder who lent his money to the government to arm and feed and clothe Its troops, you consent at the same time to a reduction of one-half of the pensions awarded to the war veterans and to the widows and or plums of those who are not liying. All the creditors of the governmont must stand or fall togethor. Many of you are pen sioners or the friends of wi.'.ows and or phans who are pensioners. Many of you have deposited your savings in savings banks. Injures the Toiler*. Most of you are toilers at the plow, or In the workshop, or dependent on small salaries, in public or private employment. To all so situated the payment of wages and pensions and your savings in silver, not redeemable in gold, as proposed by Mr. Bryan and his hybrid allies, would involve severe losses and hardship. The cost of all the necessaries of life would bo IT? iled, while the value of the money in which wages and pensions would be paid would bo reduced nearly one-half. On the other hand the farmers would not be l>enefited, because they must sell their products for money worth only a little more than hail its present value, based on a gold standard. Every producer and every workman would thus suffer. All business w >uld l>e deranged. Employ ment would be dilllcult to find. Wages would advance very slowly, If at all. Mr. Bryan r.s.-ails the obligations of public and privato contracts. He would not pay the public creditors in the money they have the legal and moral right to de mand and recaivo. This would destroy the public ir.vdit. Mr. liryan says the government lias no use for credit —which is foolish. Washington, in his fare well adi!:c..- to his countrymen, ad monished us lo "cherish public credit as a very impoi-bint source of strength and security." Mr. Bryan would de spoil the citizen of his right to re cover what is due to him from his neigh bor according to the tenor of an obliga tion lawfully made. Thi> would destroy confidence between man and man. Pub lic credit and national honor are insep arable. When our people coasc to feel a patriotic pride in the honor of their coun try they will surely lose a just sense of personal honor —and when both of these fvntiments are lost the nation Is lost Must Maintain Credit. The constitution of the Unit«d States declares that "the validity of the public debt of Hie United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred in payment of pensions, and bounties for services In suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall nut be questioned." This pledge to all the world Is consecrated by all tha sacrifices aud suffering of the secession was We must liitke it rod. Mr. liryii:t threatens to reorganize the hitches'. court in tho land BO tkat Its de cisions shall satisfy tho demands of the Populists. If elected ha would make the judicial department of the government obedient to his will. He would deitroy the indepeu 1 011 re of tho courts of Justice. This would overturn the framework of our constitution. This would be rerolU' tiou. Mr. Bryan proposes that silver shall be the money of this country. Thero is no nution, in which silver is the standard of value, where the wages paid for labor are inure than u fraction of the wagos paid to the American workman. Nobody under stands tho evils of a depreciated currency better than the veteran soldier and sailor becanse thoy were paid during the war In paper money not then redeemable In gold. This was tho tast our government could do for us during tho war, and wo made no complaint. Often this paper money was worth less than iifty cents on the dollar, whilo the cost of every thing you bought was double, but your pay was not in creased. Mr. Bryan denies tho authority of the president and the courts of the United Suites to interfere with mobs. They may with impunity disturb the peaoe, destroy property and life, interrupt travel between the states, and obstruct tho United States mails and interstate, as well as foreign commerce, but tho government must look on, powerless, helpless, paralyzed. This la mob rule—anarchy. It is impossible to exaggerate the gravity of this issue. It really overshadows all others, because it touches the foundations of social urilcr and civilization. This new doctrine is worse than the old secession heresy you put down with your bayonets—let us silence the new heresy by our ballots. While many veterans may not aftreo with some of Major McKinley's political views, we are all I hope far more widely separated from tho ruinous policy of his adversary. We feel as Stephen A. Doug las felt nt the be {inning of the war, when ho gave his sup »vt to Lincoln, saying "Glvo uie a country where my children j can live in peace, and then wo can have room to settle our political differences af terwards. " To those, who liko myself have adhered I . -- to cue party, let me say u—» the platform and candidate presented by the Chicago convention, are no» Demo cratic. They are disowned and denouncod by millions of the best Democrats In the land. No man of reeogniied authority In finance indorses the financial polloy of the Chicago platform. You are not Populists, nor socialists nor revolutionists. McKinley the Man. Read the platform adopted by Demo cratic national conventions In former years and you will see that the last Chi cago convention rejected all the best tra ditions of our history and adohted much of the revolutionary creeds of the Popu lists and free sllverltes and socialists, dic tated by Altgeld, Tlllmaa & Co. They repudiated you and your party and your principles. They have no claim to your support. Let us defeat them. Comrade McKinley stands for all that Americans must now uphold. He has been chosen as the candidate of the party which is resisting national dishonor. You and I can do no better than give our votes to our comrade, who manifested his love for his country by shouldering his musket and serving for nearly two years as a pri vate soldier. His promotions were fairly earned by his courage and his faithful performance of the duties of an enlisted man in the ranks. His comrades may well trust him. He will see to It that the prinoiples for which you and he have suffered and sac rificed so much, and for which so many of our oomrades gave their lives, are pre served and perpetuated- A few days ago I met many thousands of our comrades In St. Paul during the national encamp ment. Among that vast multitude I only heard one voice, and that was for "Mc- Kinley and national honor." Onoe only did I hear the name ef Bryan, and then the cry was, "No use for Bryanl" This will be echoed by the Ajnerioan people In November. "No use for Bryanl" with mero succoss. The "Jarea6 ~01 Xlr! Bryan Is sure. It Is our patriotio duty to make his defeat and the defeat of all he represents so crushing that neither he nor his allies can hope for political resurreo tion. Comrade, lot us stand together once more for onr country, its peace and wel fare and honor. Let us put patriotism above partisanship. Let us stand together touching elbows, as Comrade McKinley stood with you in the ranks in 1861. Fraternally yours, D. E. SICKLES. « • lluacoe tiinklini on the inflation of currency: "I es, howevor, had already been created, and the government has had some difficulty in keeping this mass to gether with tho $346,000,000 of greenbacks exchangeable with gold, being obliged at times to purchase yellow metal for this purpose by issuing bonds. Now, what would be tho effect of an absolutely un limited additional Issue of dollars —of throwing the mints open so that any Amerloan, or Turk, or Russian eould bring bullion or old spoons and get a sil ver dollar for every 63 cents' worth of the metal? Does any sane man think the govern ment could maintain them all at a parity with gold dollar*)" The silver dollancould be worth no more than the bullion In ex change (or which anybody In the world could obtain them. To pass such a law would be n direct violation of the Implied and expressed pledges on the faith of which the people have accepted hundreds of mill ions of these silver dollars In payment for goods and services at their full gold value. It would bo a wholesale repudiation on the part of the government against its own citizens; and the dollars being full legal tenders would compel all debtors to repu diate half their obligations, cut down pen sions, wages, salaries, saving bank depos its and insurance policies one-half and overwhelm the whole country in disaster Tho majority of American voters are not yet qualified to become lnmatee of padded cells.—New York Herald. VOTERS MUST QUALIFY. State Chairman Boytr Issues a Note ol Warnlnf. The copy of the following lettor been has sent to eaoh of the county chairmen, and is self explanatory: MY DEAK SIR: Please have the Republican papers in your county call the attention of -voters to the necossity of paying their taxes on or before Oct. 3, that being the last day taxes tan legally be paid in order to qualify the •lector to voto on Nov. S next. Yours very truly, H. K. BOYER, Executive Chairman. IT WELL behooves the freo sliver can didate to rail against tho gold standard as British, while at the sums time demand ing British freo trade and a British in oome tax.—Omaha Bee. IT IS jast as well for Mr. Bryan that he should do his talking in Maine after t£» state election. It would have been tragic Indeed if he had had to bear the responsi bility of that 6#.000 plurality. FARMKRS know that the $250,000,000 worth of export trade and tho $6»,000,000 worth of import trade they lost tho first year after the repeal of tho McKinley law was not on account of tho "crime of 1873." —Mansfield (O.) News. WHERE are all the farmers that were sura for Bryan? Not in Vermont, nor in Maine, certainly, and their numbers must have been exaggerated in Arkansas, where the Democratic plurality is only about thrfl® thousand greater than it was in 1894. OUTSIDE the principal silver producing states there are no indication* that the cause of Mr. Bryan Is nearly so strong as It was In July. In tho Mississippi valley, where it was agreed tho gre- Iwittle would bo fought, nothing has occurred except tho steady disintegration of h ( is forces. When? We're going to have a glory land In this land by and by, Whfn Br van is eleoted and The other ohap is shy. Th/! hons with patriotic teal Will ohanee their yellow legs, And everj morning they wtll lay A batch of sliver eggs. The cows will strike against the rule That used to suit our mind. And for the golden butter they Will giva tho silver kind. Thetroes, that always onem to weep In gold when autumn grieves. Will braoe themselves at once and go To shedding silver leaves. When hunters go to shoet the game That's filling to the pot. Discarding all tho old time kind, They'll carry silver shot. When builders build new houses then, As how their cash affords, They'll plank them side and roof and floor With silver weatherboards. When housewives get their houses cleaned With strained and weary backs, They'll taok their beaten carpets down With silver carpet taok*. The railroads, with their tnual vim. Will go to all the sales Of bullion, and quite soon they'll bo Equipped with silver rails. Thus will the earth be silvered o'er And st>a and sky and air. Then will the Now Jerusalem Save silver pgveatnts there; WU eJssWL— X' t The tfreat excursion of the Braddock 1 steel works to Canton last Thursday was | the occasion of bringing out a double sig nificance of national value. Its first and really greatest import was well stated by Governor McKinley in his forcible and j powerful sentences: It is gratifying to be assured by your i spokesman and my old comrade, and it i will be inspiring to tlie whole countrv, | that the voice of labor here today de- j clares that no party which degrades the j bono. of the Nation, no party which j stanils opposed to law and order, or ; which seeks to array the masses against j the classes, shall receive its vote and sup-1 port. Golden words are these, which will strike a cord of sympathy in every American home where virtue dwells and truth abides. THE showing which Mrs. McKinley has for house cleaning this fall is very discouraging. There will be meetings on the McKinley lawn every day until Oct. 9th. For this week there were 29 delegations announced, the visitors each day numbering thousands. THE correct solution of the 16 to 1 puz zle is that sixteen Bryans would make one McKiuley. WHAT a strange thing modern civiliza tion is! England sent some war vessels to Constantinople, and she proposed stopping the massacres in Armenia; but now it seems that she must either face a a general European war, or let the Sul tan alone. IT is proposed that a million sound money bicyclists should meet in Canton next week, and show McKinley some wheels. HERK are ti,' facts stated by Secretary Carlisle in a public speech last year. So far as we know, not one of them has ever been disputed, and taken together they form an nnans'vcraoie jnauuuai argu ment against the proposition for the free coinage of cheap silver dollar*. Every voter should think then over daily before he decides to v 'e tor Bryan aai cheap money: First. Thera is not a free-coinage coun try in the world to-day that is not on a sil ver basis. Second. There is not a gold-standard country in the world to-day that does not use silver as money along with gold. Third. There is not a silver standard country in the world to-day that uses any gold as money along with silver. Fourth. There is not a silver standard country in the world to-day that haa more than one-third as much money in circula tion per capita as the United States has; and fifth. There is not a silver standard country in the world to-day where the laboring man receives fair pay for his day's work. pom W .tj POWDER Absolutely Pur*. A °ream of tartar baKing powder.
