AT THE jVIECCA Op PATRIOTISM
Canton, O., Oct. 17, 1800.—Canton, the
home of William McKinley, has seen
many marvelous events in this campaign,
bnt none which equaled that of today.
More men and women, more special
trains, more delegations, more assur
ances of loyalty to national honor, more
addresses and more responses by Maj.
McKinley than on any previous day,
were the record of this seventeenth day
ef October, 1886. From morning until
night the number of special trains, the
shouts and cheers of delegations, the
music of bands, the glitter of uniforms
and the addresses of spokesmen and re
sponses of Maj. McKinley were heard.
Nearly 500 cars brought perhaps 30,000
people from nearly half the states of
the union.
Mr. McKinley, who left his home early
for a short walk in the crisp October
air, found an anxious throng at his resi
dence on his return, and from that
moment nntil long after darkness he was
the center of attraction, the recipient of
honor*' innumerable and the dispenser of
patriotic seotlineuts which were received
with marks of the highest approval by
ti. o thousands who heard them.
MARYLAND’S FIVE BATTALIONS,
Tboy Pledge -that State to the Party of
Honeet Money and Protection.
The Maryland delegation, consisting
of five battalions, a total of 3000 men,

One of the earliest parties was made
up of farmers from Monroe comity,

“I have never believed, us Koine peo

COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS.
Large Delegation* from Ohio and Oilier
States Greet ATi^J. McKinley.
Another large and interesting delega

states. They were addressed by Mr.
McKinley as follows:

Citizens of Kentucky Join in Support of

A large delegation from Kentucky,
composed of both Republicans and sound

demonstrative in honoring the Repub

said:

WORDS TO RAILROAD MEN.
Employment and Good Money Are De
sired by All.
There were railroad men on all sides
of Maj. McKinley when he began his
fourteenth address. One party repre
sented the Michigan Central. Another
came from Columbus, O., and represent
ed the Pennsylvania lines entering that
city. Still another party represented the
Erie employes of Cleveland. To all
these Maj. McKinley said:
“There is not a workingman in this
audience who would not rnther work for
a good road than a poor road: and there
is not an employe in this great audience
that would not rather be paid in good
money than poor money. (Applause.)
“What you want first and above all
else is employment. What you want is
to get on the pay roll of a good railroad
company, for you have to get on the pay
roll before you can get anything out of
the pay ear. to which my friend has al
luded. (Great cheering.) But in order
tojget on the pay roll the railroads must

(Cries of ‘That’s right.’) You have ex
perienced that in the last three years and
a half. Wlmt you are interested in.
therefore, is the general prosperity of the
country. We want every factory in the
land to be at work. We want every
mine in the country to lie busy. (A
voice: ‘Not the silver mines.’) My
friend says no silver mines. We arc
willing that our silver mines shall be
busy; 1 hope every one of them, too,
will be busy; but if they were all put to
work and every mint was at work they
would not furnish employment for one
third of the idle men in this country who
earn their living by toil.
“\ou have to get your employment in
the great, active, busy industries of the
country. ’I his is where you get your
work and wages, and when these great,
busy industries are at work your rail
roads have plenty of traffic. iGreat ap

“There is one thing that can be said
about the Republican party—it does not
teach the doctrines of hate and prejudice,
but teaches the gospel of peace, good
will, and fraternity between the em
ployer and employe.
“The maD who would array tin* poor
■ainst the rich, labor against capital,
gs against class, or section against
jtion, is not a friend of the country,
btnRnn enemy of the very best interests

teach that doctrine which is so
lit this year. North and South,

CAMPAIGN NOTES.
AVe do not believe in wanton cruelty
under tiny circumstances; Mr. Bryan
should see to it at once tlmt the topes of
Ins parachute are in good working order.
The best way to deal with a panic is to
vote it to ileath in advance.
The Boy Orator has become irritable
jc scolds the people and calls mimes,
lie started out on uis campaign in good
temper and in good voice. Tie stillhns
the voice.
t ^* ^tyan will look -at bis band again
lie will find that there are four cards
instead of five in liis flush.
The crime of ’7a must be lost, straved
or stolen. It has been conspicuous by’its
craf weeks ropocratie 8P°t‘ches for tsev
VYillium McKinley never advocated the
passage of a law which was designed to
take money out of the pockets of Ameri
can workingmen.
Bryan is misled into thinking “the
country is going to the dogs" hv the
snarling of Altgcld and Tillman.- The
country will go after these dogs on No
vember ,5 for a brief period,, but when
the country returns there won’t be any
mote dogs worth mentioning.
Here’s a “straw” for Bryan: Out of
