Ity of Confidence.
Canton, O., Aug. 31. 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

San Francisco, Aug. 81. According

EL C. MacFarlane, a leading royalist,
loft for San Francisco, August 80,
and it was rumored ho was on his way
to England to confer with Princess
Kalulanl, who was heir to tho Ha
waiian throne. Tho rumor was con
tradicted by tho royalist paper, which
olaimed that his errand was personal
and had no political significance. In
tho samo issue, however, tho editor
paid: "Tho natural outcome of tho
present situation is that President
Dolo will gracefully retire and that
Prlncoss Kalulanl will be asked to
head a now regime of which Dole's
present cabinet officers will be tho
leaders."
Tho royalists claimed that thoy had
received information that Kalulanl
would bo restored, while supportors
of the republic were under the Impres
Blon that President Cleveland had em
powered United States Minister Willis
to negotiate for an annexation trestv,
or falling in that, to offer the present
government tho protection of the
United Statos. Either annexation or

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
