1 M’KINLEY TO VETERANS.
Old Soldier* Bri-ed to Stand Up for the
Gold Standard.
Canton, Ohio, Aug. 3. — Farmers,
j workingmen and old soldiers of Guern
sey county arrived here yesterday
after a trp through flooded lowlands
nearly all of the way from Cambridge.
After ex-Congressman J. G. Taylor
, and Rev. W. M. McFarland of Cum
. bridge had spoken, Mr. McKinley re
i plied at some length, saving:
I “When the war closed there were
two great debts resting upon this gov
ernment. One was the debt due to the
men who had loaned the government
money with which to carry on its mil
itary operations. The other debt, was
due to the men who had willingly
offered their lives for the preservation
of the American union. The old sol
diers waited on their pensions until
this great debt of the government was
well out of the way. They waited
patiently until the government of the
. United States had reduced nearly two
j thirds of that great, money debt.
They .wanted every dollar of the debt
paid in the best coin known to the
commercial world. And every dollar
| of that debt up to this hour has been
| paid in gold or its equivalent—the
i best recognized money of the world—
i and every dollar of that debt, my
! comrades, yet to be paid will be paid
in the « - me unquestioned coin.
I “Most of that debt is out of the way.
| The great debt of this government
now is to tho surviving soldiers of the
republic. There are 970,000 pension
ers on the honored pension roll of this
government to-day and the govern
ment pays out of its public treasury in
pensions over$140,000,000 every year to
the soKiers and sailors, their widows
and their orphans. Every dollar of
that debt must be paid in the best
currency and coin of the world. (Great
cheering and cries of “The Republi
can party will see to that.’) There
is nobody more interested in main*
| taining a sound and stable currency
than the old soldiers of the republic
(cries of “you are right, major”), their
widows and their orphans,
j “Your old commander, General
I Grant (applause), whose memory is
| cheris., -d by all of you, performed
I two great and conspicuous acts while
President of the United States; one
the veto of the inflation bill that
would have cast us upon the sea of a
j depreciated currency, and the other
I was the signing of the act for the re
I sumption of the specie payments, that
j placed every dollar of our money upon
' the sound foundation of financial
honor and unquestioned national
honesty; and the old soldiers this
year, as in all of the years of the past,
following their old commander, will
stand by the financial honor of the
government and will no more permit
our nation’s integrity to be questioned
than they would permit that flag
[ (pointing to an American flag) to be
I assailed.”
PAID IN SILVER.
Some ot the Employee of the Santa Fe
Get Bland Dollars.
Topkka, Kan, Aug. 3.—Cashier
i Copeland of the treasurer’s depar
tment of the Santa Fe railway com
I pany yesterday gave to some of the
, employes of the general offices a
i lesson in free silver, by paying salaries
in that coin.
I The first man to present his check
was a high salaried employe, who re
ceives $:.'d0 a month, lie signed the
usual receipt, when the cashier pushed
out of the little window twenty $10
packages. It was a big load, but the
man munaged to carry it awuy. The
next man thought lie was in no hurry
to receive his pay and caid he would
wait until the treasurer should get a
supply of paper money. Others were
not so particular and took the silver.
Soon the story got noised about the
building that the company had got on
a silver basis and clerks presented
themselves armed with waste baskets.
So the joke ran along until it was ap
parent that should silver payments be
continued the entire day would be
consumed, when the cashier returned
to paper payments.

Th#* Prohibition Candidate*
Baltimore, Md., July 311.—Joshua
Levering of this city was last evening
officially notified of his nomination
for the Presidency of the United
States by the Prohibition party. Prior
to the notification, the Maryland Pro
hibitionists held their state conven
tion and nominated electors in the
various Maryland districts. They also
paraded the streets of the city with
banners and music, the line of march
terminating at the Lyceum theater, •
where the notification meeting was
neld.
O. W. Stewart of Illinois, as chair
man of the committee on notification,
delivered the address informing Lev
ering of his nomination. The latter
read from manuscript his letter of ac
ceptance, which is, in part, as follows:
“Such an honor is worthy the am
bition of any citizen of this great na
tion, but to my mind it is to be doubly
appreciated when tendered by the
only political party which has had the
courage to stand openly for the pro
tection of the home, the womanhood
and the children of our country
against the terrible ravages and de
struction of the legalized liquor traffic.
The Prohibition party, conscious of
the integrity of its motives and pur
poses. and firm in its belief that the
question of a moral character should
take precedence over those purely
economical, has stood firm for a score
or more of years against all attacks
of ridicule, misrepresentation and
abuse made against it; increasing its
numbers and gaining the esteem and
confidence of those who are not yet
willing to be enrolled under the ban
ner of ‘Protection to the Home.’
“During all the years it has steadily
pursued its way in educating the peo
ple to the constantly increasing en
croachment of the liquor traffic,
knowing how it is undermining our
political and social life and interfer
ing with the free expression of the
will of the people at the ballot box,
controlling to a large extent the legis
lative bodies of the country, adding
heavily to the burdens of the already
overburdened taxpayers, and, above
all, bringing suffering, sorrow, pov
erty and death to many of our fellow
citizens.
“The platform adopted by the con
vention meets*- my hearty approval,
and, though based on the single issue,
is, in reality, sufficiently broad to
allow all to stand on it who are op
posed to the saloon and its consequent
evils, regardless of their views on any
public questions of the day.
l ‘I do not underestimate the fact
that there are other questions of
grave importance over which the pub
lic mind is seriously agitated, afid
which ire being pressed for speedy
settlement. There is the question of
a stable and at the same time elastic
I currency, equal to the demands of
business for every section of the coun
try, and yet every dollar of which
should be of equal value and the whole
based on a standard equal to the best
interest in the world. The United
States cannot afford, without dishonor,
to have money bearing its stamp in
ferior to that of any other country on
the globe.
“Again, a proper adjustment of the
tariff so that labor can have its just
protection without at the same time
giving undue protection to the manu
facturing interest at the expense of
the great consuming portion of our
people, is of profound importance aud
demands early solution.”
Prior to the notification meeting,
Mr. Levering, in an interview, said:
“I do not see any necessity for the
sound money Democrats who do not
wish to vote for McKinley to nominate
a third ticket. Let them vote the
Prohibition ticket We shall have
electoral tickets in every state and
those Democrats and others who can
not conscientiously vote for either
Bryan or McKinley can vote for our
ticket. My views on the money ques
tion and on the tariff question are also
in accord with the views of these peo
ple in general and are decidedly
definite.”
TURKEY PROTESTS.
Greece'* Assistance to Cretan Rebel* Ob
jected to—the Power* lbjr Act
Constantinople, July 30. —As n re
sult. of a cabinet council, the Turkish
government made a formal complaint
to the government of Greece regard
ing the alleged shipment of arms and
ammunition from Ureece to the island
of Crete, for the use of the insurgents
there, and relative to the appearance
of armed bands in Macedonia, point
ing out the danger therefrom to the
peace of Europe and adding that
Greece would be held responsible
for it.
The Turkish government also an
nounced that it had been decided to
grant limited concessions to the Cre
tans and that they would be allowed
representation.
The powers, it is stated, have de
cided to send a collective note to
Greece declaring that the government
of the laitercounlrv must suppress the
matters complained of by the Turkish
government, otherwise the sultan of
Turkey will be left to restore order in
Crete. It is rumored here that the Tur
Irish government intends to dispatch
a force of Albanians against the Greek
filibusters, which will undoubtedly
add considerably to the gravity of the
situation.

New Yoke, July 30.—Frederick S..
Gibbs, national Republican commit
teeman from this state, was one of
the few favored guests at a meetiog
of the Eastern managers with Na
tional Chairman Hanna to-day.
Whether Mr. Hanna looked upon Mr,
Gibbs as a personal representative of'
Mr. Platt or not, the fact is patent
that Mr. Gibbs does represent that
taction of the Republican partv in.
New York. Mr. Hanna said: “Mr.
Platt was not invited to the meeting'
simply because he is not a member of
the committee Mr. Gibbs, tbd New
York state national committeeman,
was invited by me to attenu so that
he may be kept in touch with the
plans that, may be formulated. Mr.
Gibbs is New York’s national commit- ’
teeman, and is responsible in a large
measure, by virtue of his position, for
the result in this state. I feel confi
dent that the Republican party in.
New York state will work harmoni
ously for Mr. McKinley’s election..’*
John Wanamaker of Philadelphia,.
ex-President Harrison and Mr. Hannai
met at the Fifth Avenue hotel last
night. Mr. Hanna declined to go in
to details as to the questions discussed
by the trio,' but said: “Mr. Harrison,
will give us all tne assistance we may'
require of him.”
The most important question to bs
discussed will be as to the lines upon
which the campaign will be con—,
ducted. Frank 8. Withcrbee and a.
delegation representing the American..
Protective League will argue in favor'
of making the fight, upon the tariff’
lines, while Melville K. Ingalls and.
others of the financial and corpora
tion world will ask that tho financial
question be kept uppermost. It is en
tirely probable that Mr. Hanna’s ad
vice to the committee will be for
working on both these platforms aa
closely bound to each other. Mr.
Hanna said to-day: "The financial
and tariff questions cannot, in my
judgment, be divorced. Our financial,
depression or prosperity is due in that
greatest measure to our tariff condi
tions. Mr. McKinley shares this view'
with me.”
In carrying out this view Mr. Hanna,
will suggest that tho Tariff leaguer
prosecute the fight vigorously on ita.
own lines, and that those interested,
in the financial question do similar
work, the national committee giving
as-istance. It is planned that an im
mense amount of literature will be
distributed.
Mr. Quay was id consultation with
Mr. Hanna for about an hour, but
neither would say what the especial
subject of their consultation was.
The nominee for, vice president,
Garrett A. Hobart, arrived subse
quently and was closeted with Mr.
Hanna for some time. At the con
clusion of the interview Mr. Hobart
said: “I have told Mr. Hanna that!
intend staying in New Jersey during
the campaign, frequently coming over
to New York headquarters. I had
plenty of experience in campaign^
work as a national committeeman and
Mr. Hanna thinks I can assist in New
York headquarters.”
