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, were tbc first to get attention. To them Mai. McKinley said: “Nothing has given me. in all this campaign, so much pleasure and satis “ Ifie hare just pride in our glorious record in favor of free speech, free toil, free press, free men and free conscience, but I believe that the great majority of our countrymen, are neither in favor of free trade, free silver or free lawlessness, nor of cheating people in the sacred name of freedom."—Maj.

(Great applause.) > •"This, my fellow citizens, you can reg ulate by your own ballots. Petitions, ns one of your spokesmen Ims already said, count for naught. Protests to the Amer ican Congress count for nothing. The time when the citizen's voice counts most is on that supreme day—the elec tion day. What you want to do is to elect a Congress that represents your views; then you won’t need to resort to petitions to regulate them, or to keep them from injuring your industries.

Another large and interesting delega tion was made up of commercial travel ! er*» mostly from Ohio ami adjoining states. They were addressed by Mr. McKinley as follows: “You have discovered in the last four I years that It is a good deal safer to con sult markets than maxims.

A large delegation from Kentucky, composed of both Republicans and sound money Democrats, was one of the most demonstrative in honoring the Repub lican candidate. To them Mr. McKinley said: "I address you not as Republicans nor Democrats, but ns countrymen and friends. Your glorious old state has al ready registered a verdict in favor of one of the principal issues involved in this campaign. 1 do not believe that in the past twelve months the Kentucky people have changed their opinions on the questions of honest money and public honor.

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.
