CANTON , 0. , Oct. 1 A. delegation from
Springfield , 0 , arrived on a special train
of seven coaches this afternoon. It brought
the Heavy-Weight McKinlcy and Hohart
club , other clubs and citizens generally
under the caption "The Clirk County
Brigade. " After a short parade In the business
the crowd assembled
ness portion of the city
bled In the tabernacle , where addresses wcrr
made by Judge John C. Miller and Major
McKinlcy. After welcoming his guests and
npcaltlnR of Rome of the famous men of
Springfield , Mr McKinlcy said "Mr. Cyrus
Mcformlck of Chicago , who Is at the head
of one of the great hanestlng machine com
panies , the strength nml Integrity of whlrh
the country Is familiar , recently wrote as
follows'We have never before been so at
a loss to lay out our plans and work for the
next season as we arc at this time. If we
thought that the country would go for the
unlimited coinage of silver wo would not
wish to run our shops for more than one-
half their capacity.1Vo have In that state
ment , my fellow cltl7cns , a description of
our business tioilble , and It teaches a strik
ing lesson vvl Ich must Impress cverj think
ing man The manufacturer does not know
bow to plan for next year's business be
cause of the financial uncertainty created
by the attitude of one of the gi-cat political
parties of the country In combination \vlth
two other parties If free silver Is to be In
augurated In this country It will change all
values disarrange the relation of labor to
production , of raw material to the finished
product and unsettle all conditions of ex
isting business and prosperity. This uncer
tainty makes every business man pause ;
makes every business enterprise halt , and
while they pause and halt , the homo of
every worklngman Is filled with despair
Capital hesitates to Invest because It sees
danger ahead and Is unable to count with
certainty upon either the safety of its prin
cipal or the return of profits ; and while
capital waits outside the factory the ma
chinery within Is silent , laboi Is unom-
plo > cd and poverty presides about the fire
sides of the men who toll. I don't know
how in my hands the great firm of Cyrus H
McCormlck & Co. employs , but many thou
sands , 1 am sure ; but when he states that
If wo have frco coinage of silver he would
not run their shops w Ith more than one-half
the labor now employed I assume that
what would bo true In the case of the har
vesting machine company of Chicago would
be true of every haivesting machine con
cern In Springfield and throughout the coun
try.
BUSINRSS INFRRDEPRNnENT.
"Youi business fairly Illustrates the close
relation between the manufueturcr and the
ngilcultural producers. WhNi you arc pros
perous the farmer Is prosperous When ihe
farmer Is prosperous you have your most
prolltable trade If your pay roll should bo
reduced one-half Its eflcct would bo In
juriously felt liy every larmer In your coun
try , and t'ie Injury thus inillcted upon the
farmer would affect the machine works , be
cause jour customers who are fanners
would suffer from thu diminished labor you
would employ In the loss of a part of your
home market.
"Business of f\cry character Is so Inter
woven , to Interdependent upon eveiy other
business , that hurt to one Is hint to the
othrr. In 18't2 ' people used to think that jou
could hurt the manufacturer and help the
rest of mankind They labor under no such
delusion now. Demand Is what makes busi
ness activity. The sickle and the flail would
still ho In lias but for the pressing demand
of the great grain Holds of Amci lea You
maku agricultural Implements because the
farmer wants them but when bo does not
want them you will not mike them , and
whpii ho wants fewci of them vou will not
make as many , and when that time comes
and you diminish your output you do not
icrjuire KO much labor and that Is what
makes poverty and Idleness My fellow

CHRYRNNR , Oct. 1. ( Special ) The po
litical situation In Wyoming Is very cor
rectly sired up In a letter sent by J. II.
Loomls assistant cashier of the First Na
tional bank of this place , to the San 1'rnn-
clsco Argonaut , as follows :
"IMItora , Argonaut I am not often In
clined to question the accuracy of the state
ments made In your Journal , but think that
In the editorial columns of the Issue of Sep
tember 7 you do this state an Injustice. You
class Wyoming with Its three electoral
votes among those states 'that may bo con
ceded to llryan without question. ' It Is
said that we have to go away from home
to learn the news , and It Is news Indeed
to learn that Wyoming Is conceded to
Bryan Harrison carried the state In 1S92 ,
and in 1891 the republican state ticket was
elected by pluralities ranging from 3.00J
to 4,000. The legislature elected In 1891
consisted of forty-eight republicans , six
democrats and one populist. City and town
elections slnco that time have evidenced ID-
puhllcan gains. The party Is well organ
ised , harmonious and confident and 1 know
of no icason why the Argonaut should Jump
at the conclusion that Wyoming must be
grouped with Its misguided neighbors an a
'suro1 liryan state It has within Its bor
ders no silver mine owners anxious to sell
thtlr bullion at an Inflated price It has
laborers woithy of their hire who demand
their pay In money as good as any one's
It has producers of grain and beef and mut
ton and wool who arc unwilling to take dls-
honcat money for their products and un
willing to tender dishonest money In pay
ment of honest debts. In your future esti
mates will you not be Kind enough to place
Wyoming , If not In the McKinley column ,
at least among" the doubtful states ? "

TOPRKA , Kan. , Oct L The federal gen-
crals entered Kansas today from Nebraska
and made their first stop at Atchlson al
an early hour this morning The- party had
not been apprised of a demonstration al
that point , and was agreeably surprised
when cx-Scnalcr John J. Ingalls entered
their coach at 8 o'clock , at the head of a
reception committee , and made known their
arrangements. The party was escorted
to the west sldo of the B. & M
depot , where several thousand school chil
dren , a flambeau club and a band were lined
up to receive the visitors. Senator Ingalls
acted as president of the meeting and In
troduced General 0. O Howard. The general
was enthusiastically greeted. Ho said Gen
eral Algcr's voice had given out and he had
temporarily surrendered command of the
party. He spoke at some length , upholding
the St. Louis platform , and was heartily
cheered
As General Howard stepped from the plat
form a shower of bouquets were thrown by
the school children upon him , und three
cheers were given for General Howard and
Senator Ingalls. General T J. Stewart was
next Introduced , and made a short speech
and Its conclusion was followed by another
shower ot ( lowers.
General Algcr spoke very briefly , sayIng -
Ing , among other things "I want to say
here , and correct a mistake the newspapers
have made. General Slgel Is not with us ,
ami so you Germans can't 'fight with Slgel'
this trip. Unfortunately , ho could not come
I want to say , too , that I don't believe all
the stories I hear that Kansas Is going to
repudiate obligations nnd continue to go
down hill. There Is nothing the matter
with Kansas. ( Cheers ) . You are all right
( Cheers ) . Now , let's go over to the car and
call out Sickles. He'll feel hurt of jou
don't. Ho goes on. crutches , you know , nnd
can't get about as well as Howard here ,
who has lost only an aim. "
The children were particularly delighted
with Gcneial Alger , and he was literally
bombarded with bouquets , while 3,000 men
and women cheered and suiged over to the
train , which stood seventy-five yards away.
General Sickles said ho wanted his hear
ers to send Senator Ingalls back to the
senate. Continuing , he said New York would
give McKinley 500,000 majority. As he fin
ished the train pulled out , amid another
buist of flowers from the school children.
Short stops were made at Nortonvlllu and
Valley Falls , and at each place a hearty
greeting was accorded the generals. The
train was late In arriving at Topeka , where
the main exercises of the day were to take
place The civic parade , which It was ar
ranged the generals should review , had al
ready started , and not over 100 persons. In
cluding the welcoming committee , were at
the depot.
On the reception committee were Governor
Morrlll and several representative repub
licans. The visitors were driven to a re
viewing stand erected on the capitol square
to review the Grand Auny of the Republic
division. As each of the generals ascended
the stand he was singled out by the vet
erans and given a rousing greeting. Tbo
parade was participated In by the old sol
diers , United States regulars , Kansas Na
tional Guards , Kansas Firemen's associa
tion , other military and civic societies , and
something ovei 3,000 school children. The
number of persons In line was \nilously es
timated at from 35,000 to 40,000. Twice as
many more people thronged the streets. At
3 o'clock a campflre , ovei which Senator In
galls presided , was held. Addresses were
made by General Dinlel n. Sickles , General
O 0. Howard. General Horace Porter , Gen-
eial R. A Alger , Past Commander-ln-Chlcf
Ivan N. Walker and William Warner of Mis
souri.
The members of the party unite in sayIng -
Ing that the most pleasing Incident so far
of their Journey was a delicate bit of cour
tesy shown by Mis Bryan , wife ol the dem
ocratic candidate for president , who , while
the procession In honor of the visiting gen
erals was moving past her house In Lincoln ,
displayed over her door a largo portrait of
William McKlnlcv , tastefully draped In the
national colors It was a touch of womanly
giaco , beauilful as It was unexpected , and
General Alger says he will cherish It as
a sweet recollection plucked from an acri
monious campaign until the end of his
days.

BOSTON , Oct. 1 The Massachusetts re
publican state convention met here today
for the nomination of presidential clcclorn
and state officers. The proceedings were
harmonious and the work ot tlic ton' - -"n
was accomplished with celerity. Ex-Uov
jcrnor J. Q. A. Urackett and W. H. Hallo of
Springfield were designated as clectors-at-
'nrge.
lloger Wolcott , who has filled the cxccu
tlvo offlcc since the death of Governor
Grcenbalge , Was unanimously nominated for
covcrnor.
The rest of the ticket Is as follows : Lieu
tenant governor , W. Murray Cralie ; secre
tary of state , William M. Olln , treasurer
and receiver general , U. H. Shaw : auditor ,
John W , Klmball ; attorney general , Hosca
M Knowlton
At the beginning the platform says that
thu republican party of Massachusetts
"has neither pant professions to abjure nor
no new pilnclples to announce. " The
declarations on the i-urrcney and tariff
questions are as follows
"A sound monctarv system , a stable mon
etary unit and the scrupulous obscrvanc e
In the letter and spirit of cvciy public
obligation .
"The enactment of tariff laws which will
provide revenue adequate for the payment
of the national expenditures and giadual
i eduction of the nitlonal debt , promote the
principle of rcclpreiclty protect American
Industries and Ameilcan workmen , nnd pre
serve our own maiUcts to our own people "
In subsequent planks the platform ad
vocates In the state and national seivlco
the merit system , with preference to vet
erans of the civil war , a protection of the
voters from coercion by violence or ve\a-
tion In the exercise of the elective fran-
chlso , and extension of the prov Islons of
the Immigration law so an to exclude such
as are unable to read and write their owner
or the English language. U also exprcEses
disapproval of all appropriations from the
public money for sectarian purposes or sec
tarian Institutions.
H also expresses the belief "that all cor
porations enjoying public franchises and
exercising public employments under con
ditions which neccssailly confer upon them
a virtual monopoly should he compelled by
law to rcndci service to the public for a
reasonable return upon the actual Invest
ment and not upon a fictitious capitalisa
tion. "
After endorsing the platform of the
national convention at St. Louis the
Massachusetts platform continues : 'lint the
duty of this hour demands something more
than the statement of articles of our party
creed Mindful of the utterances of those
who have gathered at Chicago undci the
name of domociacy , we are conscious that
the success of our cause means more than
the deLewulnfltlon. ot nariv-aaCfindeii'jVj ajud
that wo have the rieht to. , apppal toi-a
bro'uder constltucnBy than tbemerabc rsbli >
of the republican party.
The financial plank of the , Chicago plat
form Is condemned as scctlorfallstlc , aud the
question of the cunency is further dis
cussed at some length , under which the
attitude of the democracy toward the
supreme court , as set forth in the Income
tax plank. Is denounced as a "threat to
degiade to an Instiument for the registration
ot paity edicts the Independent tribunal
established by the fathers. "
Issue Is also taken with the Chicago plit-
foim on the subject of the right of thi >
national government to Interfere In states
In the case of riot. The platform concludes
"To the defense of these principles we
summon all lepubllcans and Invite all ottirvs
iv ho hellcve them to be essential to the
preset vatlon ot the nation's honor , the con
tinuance of the general welfare , the integrity
ot our constitution and the supremacy of the
nation , whereby right Is supreme. "

The sound money democrats of Nebraska
mot at Washington hall last ulght and nomi
nated the state ticket numcl above. Inci
dentally the delegates from three of the
congressional districts resolved themselves
Into congressional conventions and named
candidates for congress All this was ac
complished lu three houi4 aud with a una
nimity of purpose and tientlmcnt exceedingly
rare In democratic conventions
The convention was a representative gath
ering , which included most of the most prom
inent democrats of thu state. Besides those
whose personality appeared In the proceed
ings theic were A J Sawyer of Lincoln , W.
A. Cotton and Ed Sheldon of Nebraska City ,
J. A. Costcllo and 1'rauk Langc of Qraml
Island , D C. Guild and Frank White of
I'lattsmouth , J P. Ciockcr , Waircn 1'ratt.
Juan Boyle , W. E Jackman and A. J. O.il-
letlno of Kearney , A. E Thatcher of Valen
tine , Tobias Castor of Lincoln , Milton IJoo-
llttle ot North 1'latte. P. H Halbralth of
Albion , Dr. A Hear of Norfolk and others.
Neaily all of the luj delegates contcmplatcdl
In the call were present , and the proceed
ings were marked by more enthusiasm than
could reasonably bo expected In a catiba
which was supported by no hope of present
success.

stated that lie- had tile plcauUro of calling ;
together the first democratic convention In
Nebraska In 1890. ThU scritimqnt wrts
roundly applauded , and he then nanie.il
Charles J. Ryan of Hall county as tem
porary chairman and H T. Koehlcr of Web
ster county as secretary. Mr. Ryan was
conducted to the platform , and spoke at
some length. He declared that In assem
bling to represent the di'mocrntlc paity of
Nebraska the delegates had done them
selves honor. They had renounced Iho
fi ults of victory and declared that. In this
state at least , the grand old banner of
demociacy should not be diagged In tbo
train of an Inoidiiiatc ambition. Calm In
the face of numbers , and fre-o from the.
gieed for place and power , they came to
lift the banner of pure domociacy , ovi'n
though they should bo sent to Coventry for
icmainin tine to their faith
How dlffeu'iit weio they who had cllmbcil
on the derelict commanded by Mr. Bryan
and clilmcd an olllco as the prlco ot their
apostasy The latter depended for argu
ments on a miscellaneous lot ot mlsrepio-
sciitations In place of logic they had eu
phonious phrases that dropped trippingly
fiom the llpb of their candidate Ono of
the pocullailtle-s of these silver-plated par
tis ins was that they drew conclusions from
certain premises. 'Ihu premises failed , but
they' still clung to the conclusions They
mistook a coincidence for a cause. They
established the fact that wheat was a cer
tain price In 187,1 and silver another certain
price , and then they ic-stcd their case and
asked a verdict in their favor fiom th&
people. They constantly confounded prlca
with value The former might bo changed
by legislation the lattoi never If legislation
could create value , why work at all ? If law-
could create wealth and restore that which
had been -destroyed , then let the lawmakers
ot eaith get together and abolish poverty.
Law bad ncvi-r added ono penny to the
worlds storehouse of wealth , nnd It never
could. Mr Bryan had declared lliat con
gress had legislated the wealth of the people
ple away , but bo proposed to legislate It
lnclc again Why should ho stop there ?
Why not legislate until thrre should no
longer be poverty , 01 hunger , or suffering ?
Continuing the speaker revlowe-d In detail
the arguments of the tllver advocates and
made a vigorous expose of their fallacies.
In closing he dedaiul ll-at the ical domo-
ciatlc paity would guide the ship of state &
safely between Die icpubllcan Clmrybdli
and the fie" sllvei Seylla and bring It to
port with Us coloifl flying and without &
