Of tho flvo del egations scheduled to visit Mr. McKin ley to-day tho first arrived at 7:45 o'clock. It was tho Commercial Men's McKinley club No. 1 of Chicago, 300 strong. Their cars wero gaily deco rated. When Mr. McKinley stepped upon tho chair to rospond ho was cheorcd for several minutes. When he could bo heard ho said: "Mr. Corey, Gen tlemen of tho Commercial Travelers' Association and My Fellow Citizens: 1 bid you welcome, sincere welcome, to my homo. Thrice welcomo aro you hero. I am honbrcd very greatly, honored by tho call of this assem blage of commercial men representing great commercial interests and coming from every section of our common country. Although you aro accus tomed to calling on pooplo for that, I bolievo is chiefly your business let mo assuro you that you never mado u call any whero moro agreeable to your host than this call is to mo. It would be pleasant to me personally to meet you on any occasion, but it is peculiar ly gratifying to meet you now, coming as a body to testify your united and confident devotion to tho Republican principles enunciated by tho national Republican convention of 1890. "I recognize your influence as ono of tho most potent factors in political contests and I am glad to know that this year in a greater degree than ever boforo, tho commercial men of tho country aro united in tho causo of tho Republican party. You have not al ways been in such closo agreement with each other politically as now,, but then you have had exporlenco and for four years or nearly so, you havo been attending the school in which all the rest of us havo been pupils. It has been a free schcol. Tho tuition has been free, but tho ultimato cost has been very great. No body of American citizens, of equal number could properly have a deeper mterost in tho success of Republican princi ples than you; nnd none I am suro can do so much to secure their certain tri umph as you. "You are not only carriers of com merce, but creators of confidence; not only advocates of process, but promot ers of prosperity. Everywhqro you insplro olthor confidence or distrust, for you tell the truth about tho condi tion of tho country. You not only sell goods or used to but you dis seminate information among your cus tomers. Thero is no moro certain barometer of the business of the UnHed States than tho sentiment of the men of which this body assembled here this morning is roprcscntatlvo. You encourago tho despondent and quicken tho lagging into fresh activ ity. You give new hope aod stimu late now effort in that great body of business men upon whom so largely depends the revival of business in all parts of our country. "What wo want above nil else, my fellow citizens, is confidence. And we cannot get confidence by threatening to revolutionize all values and repu diate obligations, both public and firivate. You know tho facts of bus ness and cun dispell the theories of tho dreamer and the misstatements of the demaguc, and ono thing 1 like about the commercial travelers is that very one of them is for tho United States of America. (Great applause and cries of 'And for McKinley, too.') And alwnys stand up for America." Yesterday afternoon a delegation of leaders of the National League of Re publican clubs visited Mr. McKinley. lie spoke to them at length, first thanking them for their visit and com plimenting tho league and then say ing: "We cannot overestimate the value of tho young men in politics, and 1 would not havo believed it If Mr. Goodnoe had not told me that they were not practical politicians. My experienco with them has been that they havo been poll tians of the most practical sort known in American politics. Gentlemen, you never had a worthier cause strive for than you havo this year. The financial honor of the country and the prosperity of all its pooplo are enough to inspire every American heart to the best posslblo effort I have seen somewhero an Inquiry, 'Cannot tho United States establish a financial system of its own; is it too weak and dependent to do that?' 1 answer: The United States now has a financial policy which, in the main, it has been pur suing since the beginning of tho gov ernment, und which it does not mean to change until it can find a better one. Those who make the inquiry aro usually against the American policy of finance and they are Insisting that wo shall adopt tho fiuanclal policy of China and Mexico. I hope it will not be thought an ovidenco of lack of na tional spirit or national Independence that we decline to udopt their propo sitions " A delcgutlon of 300 people from tho East Ohio United Brethreu conference followed closely upon the league com mittee.

CLEVELAND'S HOME Q1VES HIM AN OVATION. I Greateit Demonstration Blnee the Madl I son Square Garden Notification Meet ing Ue Talk Abont Mexican Dollars and the Old Soldier A Change In the Route of Uls Tour. Bryan nr Rnffnlo. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 20. Appar ently tho entire population of Buffalo, tho homo of Grover Cleveland, turned Us footsteps last night towards Music hall, where Candidate Bryan addressed 4,000 people, as many as could bo packed within the four walls, whllo unnumbered thousands filled the neighboring Btreets. The day in Buf falo had been tho greatest ovation Mr. Bryan has received In ''the ene my's country, nnd the night meeting which ended it attracted almost, if not quite, as many would-be auditors as tho notification in Madison Square garden. A reception was held for two hours in the hotol parlors in tho afternoon, when Mr. and Mrs.'Bryan shook hands with a constant Hue ot callers, which still stretohed along half a block out side tho building when tho doors woro closed upon tho last comers. Mr. Bryan was escorted to tho hall by tho "Cleveland Democracy," tho city's oldest nartv organization, and by ward clubs bearing torches. Tho lino of march was along half a mile of I Main street, crowded almost as thick- , ly ns was tho hall, and red flro and cannon announced his coming. When iur. nryan appeared upon tho stage, escorted by Stato Committeeman John C. Sheehan, tho police wero powerless to control the audience, and swarm ing down to the front, several hun dred men took possession ot the seats reserved for tho clubs which escorted Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryan said, among other things: "Wo propose a financial policy. Our opponents propose nothing. Without daring to defend the gold standard, without daring to set a time when you shall escape It, they preach tho doctrine of 'grin and bear it,' and offer no hope to tho human race. Wo ask for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1. We have had it in tho past, and wo ask that tho American people shall do their own legislating for themselves without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation, and we have had it In the past We believe that the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to I will maintain tho parity between gold and silver. "And right hero let me call atten tion to something which I have learned since I came into vour cltv. I am told that some of your mer chants, in order to givo an objoct les son to the people, have beon offering to furnish Mexican dollars for 60 cents as part of the change when you buy goods. My friends, let me give you an opportunity to test the sincer ity of these people. Let me givo you a suggestion. They toll you that if we had the free coinago of sllvor that tho American dollar would be as little as the Mexican dollar is now. They toll you that If wo had the free coin age of silver, silver will not rise in value. Let me glvo you a suggestion by which you enn test them. When ever a man offers you a Mexican dol lar for 50 cents, you take it, and then take it to your savings bank and ask them if they will take it on deposit for 50 cents and glvo you a written ngreement to give you a Mexican dol lar the next day after the inaugura tion of the next president "Our opponents have said that the soldiers who are receiving pensions must be protected against tho free coinage of silver. They would have us believe that these financiers who are insisting upon the goM standard are Insisting upon it for fear the sold iers drawing a pension may suffer by tho abandonment of the gold stand ard. They forgot that thoso who were soldiers remember the times we had during the war; thoy forgot that these soldiers were old enough to know something of legislation; they forgot that these soldiers know that tho financiers who aro today pleading the cause of tho soldier who was offering his life for his country and receiving his pay in greenbacks while these same financiers were making their bonds payable id coin, although they did not fight themselves. (Applause.) And I am not willing to believe that they tire any moro considerate of the soldiers' interests today than they were at tho time when they wore look ing after themselves. (Applause.) Mr. Bryan's program for next week has been changed. The intended speech at Columbus has been aban doned by the advice of Chairman Jones of tho national committee, and the trip from this stale to Chicago will be along the line of the lakes, ex cept one day. From Cleveland, where he speaks Monday, the candidate will tro to Toledo, and thence throuirh f Michigan by way of Adrian, Hillsdale j nnp Find) ay, and then will make a 1 dash down to Elkhart, Ind.

At the American line pier were four troops of the Sixth United States cav aly and a detachment of the naval reserve. On board the Dolphin with General Ruger were the Chinese minister, Yang, and suite, the Chinese consul and a few specially Invited guests. Hovering about the Day was a fleet of sail and steam yachts, excursion boats and tugs, loaded with passengers, wh wero probably moro interested in see ing the ships of the so-callod "white squadron" flro their twenty-one gua salute than in witnessing the arrival in American waters oi tho Chinese envoy. The famous coffin of the Chinese statesman was not brought to Ameri ca with him, having been sent back home from London.

United States. The St. Louis slowly moved up the bay, surrounded by all kinds of gayly decorated oraf t and with the Dolphin qulto near her to the noise of a tre mendous chorus of steam whistles and a continual fusllado of giant firecrack ers, etc. As tho St Louis neared the Ameri can fleet, the first salute In honor of the Chinese visitors was fired from tho flagship New York, gun by gun, until twenty-one shots had been fired. The New York was tho only warship to flro a salute, but the othor ships dipped their colors as the St Louis passod. They presented a magnificent appearance and were watched with the greatest interest by the Chinese ambassador and his suite from the po sition which thoy occupied on the port side of the upper deck of the American liner. The St Iouis moved up the harbor in a sort of triumphal procossion, greeted on all sides with the tooting of steam whistles and other salutes and reached her dock at 1:30 o'clock. But the party was not able to land until sometime later, owing to tne necessary delay in warping the ship to Its wharf. GREETED ST GREAT CROWDS. About the dock all kinds of craft dashed. During this timo while the yellow standard of China was loudly cheered by the crowds about the wharf, the bow of the big steamship neared the landing placo of the Amer ican line. The Chinese party was reoeiyed at the pier by the guard of honor of the marine Infantry and an immense crowd of people, whioh was with dif ficulty kept back from the approaches by a large force of police. The Chinese- standard was removed from the American line steamer at 1:50 o'clock, as the Chinese ambassador landed on the wharf and entered the carriage in attendance. The first carriage contained the ambassador and General Ruger and In the next were Tao-Tat-Li, Major Von Hannekon and a member of the staff of General Ruger.
