The sun came out bright and clear this morning and warmed g > MI > Ilia air. Today's first formal demonstration at tlio home of the republican nominee occurred ehortly after 1 o'clock , when a delegation of flvo carloads arrived from Warren , Monte ; and other towns In take county , Ohio , In eluding Poland , where Major McKlnley re celved his ccrly education and whcro hi lived up to the time , when as a boy soldier , h shouldered his musket and went forth In do funso of national existence. The party wai Introduced by Judge George F. Arrol o Youngstown , O. Four heavy trains brought the Garflcl club of the western reserve today with th greetings of the old Nineteenth district which General Garflcld represented In con Kress for a number of years. To belong ti thla club It Is necessary to have voted fo : General Garflcld for congress. The dclega [ Hon. which Included residents of live conn * tics , was Introduced by Congressman Stcph \ cnson Northway. They were received nu addressed by Major McKlnley while the III' nbls parade was forming. In the COUIEO of his address Major Me _ Klnloy said : I have studied , more or less , the publl career of General Onrflold. Hiwna nn In Hplrutlon to mo ns u boy. He wan my counsellor and friend In manhood , nnd In Htudylne hit ) career. If I wan to Blnglc out nny one great act of hlB more dhitltigiilshcd than nny other , I would name his xplomlld defense of the public honor and national currency. To my mind , the greatest speech ho ever made , for I heard It , wna in the Forty-lift ! ! congress , when no wan peeking to prevent the abandonment of the Idea of the resumption or specie payments. lie wan then occupying perilous ground ; there \ Was great clamor In the country over an \ Inilatlon of the currency. General Gar- ilcld , fairing no consequences from his act nnd knowing that ho was right , declared there waa but one thing to ilo In honor nnd tha was to make every obligation of the national government equal to the best dollars known to the commercial world. JIG IOOK mo cnnnccs 01 nn IKIVCTHO verdict. Jlo came back to thlH proud old con- Htltuenoy , niid It returned him by nn In creased majority. Ilo then appealed to thiil wider Hold thla great state and It commended him by electing him to the united btatcs senate. Then , tlnnlly. ho received the approval of 50,000,000 of people In hlH election to bo tlio chief executive ofllcer of the government of the United States. So , too , on Umt oincr great ques tion of tariff lie. was sound. You will re member his famous upec-ch agnlmu the wool bill , necking to tear down and de- Htroy American industries. He alil In HUbstanco ; "Lot Germany look after the Interest ! * of the German umpire ; let Kna- land look after her welfare ; but let the American people legislate for themselves. " If ho could Hpeak to KB today , ho would tell ua to Bland by the public honor and never consent to corrupt or degrade the currency of the United States. Ho would tell IIH to protect American labor and development riRulnHt the competition or the old world iinrt that la what \vq propose to do thla year. CROWDS FROM ILLINOIS : The Illinois dehgatlon , comlug as It did from all parts of the state and over all rail roads , was somewhat scattered. The first to arrive was a party from Pike county , whose car was a part of a regular Pennsyl vania train arriving at 2:30 : a. m. At 7 o clock a special train of seven coaches came In over the Cleveland , Canton & Southern touring a delegation from Paris and vicinity. They were headed by a drum corps ind after a short march about the city broke ranks until the general demonstration In the af ternoon. AH hour Inter over the same roail came another train of the sama size from Springfield and vicinity. This delegation inarched as a club and each member wore a badge Inscribed , "From the Homo of Liu- coin to the Homo of McKlnloy , October 21 , 1SUC. " In the meantime two large trains arrived over Iho Pennsylvania line , ona bringing three carloads of unit died black horses to bo used In the parade and a number of Chicago visitors. The other was filled with Chlcagoans. Every train brought McKlnloy visitors. The early ar rivals occupied their time In Uniting about the city , many calling on friends and ac quaintances , and many going In small par ties to the McKlnloy homo. There was no epccchmaklng for any of there collets , the program bulng for a general address when all had arrived and the street demonstration wns concluded. Major McKlnley , ho\\evcr , met many of thsio callers on his front porcn and shook hands wlth , them. Colour ! WH- I lUm P , Ilcml of Chicago , formerly a promt * nont democrat , who wan chief murahsl of Uio parade , wan one of the early arrivals , and ; had all arrangements completed for tno ; organization of Iho paradg before the later trains arrived.

We came 'rom the Mate that first gave to the service jf the nation that incomparable soldier.

We came from the state whose history IB rich with glorious memories of great men and great achievements , In liencc and war We como from n state with proud cltlcii > y lake and river , with broad prairie of : ertile fields nnd farms , from a Pluto rich n agricultural products , with great tnnmi- 'ucturliiK nnd mining industries , and with ommtrclnl Interests that reach every Btato .n the union and extend all round the world ; from a state thu life of whoso people rx- hlbltH such a variety of Industrial purnullB. Buclr activity along BO many lines of floclnt ilcvflopment aa to typify In a large degree that spirit of national Independence and advancement which the republican party hnB always sought to Infuse Into the life of the whole nation. PLEDGES HIS STATE. The people of this country are divided nto two political parties. We are In the nliat ! of n cfcat contest wherein these inrtlca arc struggling will * each other for .he control of the deatlny of this country. You have been selected as the leader and Btatidard bearer of one ot these parties. Thoughtful , earnest and patriotic men. Irrespective of piXBt party adulations , regard the ISHUOB of this campaign as being so serious that their settlement Involves a crisis In our country's history.Vo are confronted with dangers BO grave , so far- reaching that no man can measure the rvll consequences that will follow If our people make a mistake . In the past the state of Illinois haa always stood cloto to the union , nnd her people hove made many a sacrifice to uphold and maintain the honor and glory of our country. On many a battlefield her sons have fought and struggled , In many n grave they sleep who died that their country might live. , Wo come to you today representing every walk , of llfo ; from the counting room , the otllce. the factory , the railroad , the mine , the shop and the field , we come animated by a love of our country that la stronger than mere pride of party , that reaches out beyond the limits of our own slate , that knows no section , north , south , cast or west. west.We come to express our good will for you personally , to express our confidence nnd faith In you as a leader , nnd to give you the assurance that the1 state of Ull- nols still stands , ns she has always stood In every crisis of our country's history , for national honor , for the advancement nnd utilization of all the elements of national life In our midst , for the protection of our homes , our homo Interests nnd our homo people , and for the largest share of pros perity that always cornea with that pro tection. Illinois stands for all the Institutions of the government that our fathers estab lished. She standH for honest money nnd the faithful performance of all our con tracts , public or private. The Influence of Illinois will bo exerted to keep our country abreast of nil the great nations of thu earth , to keep her In the full glare of the light of civilization , and not to permit her to fall back under the shadow of bar barism. Wo neither favor nor reject any policy simply because It Is British , neither shall wo go to China , for precedents In religion , In education , In commerce or monetary science. Finally , major , wo are hero to nssuro you that on the 3d of next November Illi nois will Join with n majority of her sister states In a nhout for McKlnley hnd Ilobart , for protection nnd prosperity , nnd for hon est money , that will send a thrill of con fidence nnd hope through every part of our troubled country ; thnt will dlipal the clouds of distress thnt now hang low nnd heavy over the land , nnd with your election we ulmll llbpo for n return of that prosperity that will bring light to every home and Joy to every heart. PESSIMISM POWERLESS. In his reply Major McKlnley dwelt at length upon the great resources of Illinois and the wonderful achievements ot Its pee ple. Ho spoke eloquently of Lincoln , Grant , Logan , Oglcsby and Tanner as .names linked with the history of the Btato. In one of the Introductory speeches It has been declared that Illinois had made the largest registra tion of any state In the union. Referring to this declaration. Major McKlnley declared that It ought to mean the largest majority of any state In the union "for sound money and protection. " He.added : Now thnt the price of wheat IB going up nnd silver going down , nnd your crops have been exceptionally good , I cnnnot see how even the mo.it pessimistic can convince you or themselves thnt our present gold stand ard , which wo have had since 1879 , can beef of the least possible detriment to you. My friends , good money is aa essential to the farmer ns good crops. It Is the boon of the farmer. Short dollars arc as hurtful to him nt short crops nnd cheap money ns Injurious on low prices. You can never permanently advance or prosper under nny system of false finance or false political economy that was over devised by the will of man. You can only prosper upon honest money , hott est laws , public and private honor. Agri culture will be prostrated , commerce will languish , mining will decrease and manu factures diminish If , to the misery of par tial free trade , you add the heresy of free silver , which in thla contest moans the vie lation of existing contracts and the utter disregard of good faith , nnd the absolute repudiation , In whole or In part , of our pub lic and private obligations. Dlsgulso the Issues as you may , the bold , cold , hard facts remain , and no amount \of chicanery or sophistry will hide them. Major McKlnley received a number of rep resentatives of the labor organizations of iiiuiuis in ma uiuuy. IICUJJUUUIIIK lu uiu in troductory address of M. H. Madden of the Printers' union and P. J.

CHICAGO , Oct. 21. ( Special Telegram. ) Chairman Hanna of the republican national committee this morning gave to the public the following announcement : "The manifest policy of the silver demo cratic managers In this campaign , as net forth by their candidate for president shortly after his nomination , has been to create the belief In the minds ot the worklngmcn that they were being coerced by their em ployers to vote contrary to their convictions. The chairman of their national committee , Hon. James 1C. Jonce , haa emphasized this policy In a proclamation Iq which ho boldly charges the employing classes of the coun ' try with having entered Into a conspiracy to coerce their employes Into voting con trary to their opinions. This Is a very grave charge , and It has now assumed a from that Justifies giving It some attention. H 1s an Insult , both to employer and em ploye. We do not believe that one Is despotic enough to attempt to coerce , or that the other Is so cringing as to be coerced. Employes and employers arc all free American citizens , knowing their rights and capable of aescrtlrig and maintaining them. "To coerce a voter Is a crime against the laws of the land , and If Mcsars. Bryan and Jones knew ot any at tempted coercion they made them selves accomplices of the criminals by not Informing the proper authorities and taking steps for prosecution. It has been the policy of the republican party since Its organiza tion to protect every citizen In the exercise of his tlectlvo franchise , and It will still adhere to that policy. WILLING TO PROTECT WORKMEN. 'Whllo ' we consider the charge absurd , and bellevo that American worklngmcn and em ployers are too Independent and patriotic cither to be coerced or to coerce , the re publican national committee will do any tiling In Its power to protect worklngmen In the frco and untrammcled exorcise of their rights aa citizens , and will cheerfully unlto with the national democratic commit tee In any movement having that object In view. "Coercion ot voters Is not only an un- amcrlcan , unpatriotic and despotic usurpa tlon of the rights of a frco citizen , but It Is a wrong that will Inevitably recoil upon Its perpetrators. It Is an arbitrary usa of power that la In direct conflict with the principles ot our government. The civil compact ot majority rule means frco ma Jorltlcs , for whose protection all constitu tional powers should be used , and without which a political victory would be barren of results worthy ot a great party. This commltteo will spare no pains to secure to every citizen , whatever hla politics , the right to cast hla vote according to hla con vlctlons and to have his vote honestly counted. " " _ Information W B received at republican" national headquarters today to the effect that voters Intending to support Bryan were applying to railroads for transportation to their homes , and that they are using the. letter heads of tbo republican national com inlttco or republican state central com mltteo In making such applications. Re quest Is made by the republican national committee that persons receiving applica tions for transportation shall bo upon their guard , and that the chairman ot the state and county republican committees shall act with great caution In considering the matter of applications for transportation. TWO IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS. P. M. Arthur of Cleveland , O. , at the head of the International Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers , has written a letter In which he sa > s that ho never signed any resolution or petition to congress , or any document In favor of the frco coinage of stiver ; that he Is not In favor of the free coinage of silver , and that be will vote for McKlnley , regardless of what he may have done or said In the past. Hon. William Morrison of Illinois , presl dent of the Interstate Commerce commis sion at Washington , has written a letter , which la to bo made public , In which he arraigns Governor Altgeld Inthe sevcrcat terms , confirming all of the charges mid" against Altgeld by ex-Congressman Porman. Tbo letter Is full ot sensational statements affecting the Integrity of Altgeld and will make thousands of votes for soGnd money and McKlnley. Morrison Is one of the most Influential democrats of this state. A telegram from Beaten states that Sam ucl C. Prcssley makes affidavit that the Colorado letter bearing his name and alleg ing that Mr , Hanna had said that If Mc Klnley Is elected the United States army will bo enlarged to 250.000 men , is a forgery.

( Special. ) The slcu- cr thread of hope to which the free sliver omocrats have been clinging since the date f Secretary ot State Piper's decision against hem was today ruthlessly snapped by a Imllar decision on the part of the supreme ourt. The rainbow chasers of the Illusive white metal were out en masse when court onvcncd at 2 p. in. , with Justice Post pro- Idlng.

Applying tbo forosolng principles to the conceded and undisputed facts , the writ of mandamus asked against the re spondent , nuiRt be dcnledi RAGAN DENIES JURISDICTION. Judge Ilagan , supreme court commis sioner , sitting with the court lu these cases , concur * with this decision , upon the ground however , that the court has no Jurlsdtctlonal powers therein. Speaking to this point , the commissioner said that It was hla opinion that In accordance with section 13G of the Australian ballot law the case could not bo parsed upon by the supreme court by a peti tion for a writ of mandamus or by any pro ceedings whatever. Ho declared that the legislature had seen lit to lodge the power of deciding * whether or not tickets nomi nated by political conventions abould bq placed-.upon Uie ljallot wJJli. thl ! secretary ' ' of state. The'supremo court hS'dlitfrjuWss diction , aa U waa not vested with political and administrative powers by the legisla ture , and It never has been the Intention of the legislature to have the supreme court acttlo purely political questions , similar to this one. He thought , however , that judges of the district court and Justices of the peace had Jurisdiction In this particular. Under the decision ot the court the names of the soujd money nominees will go on the ballots with the designation ot "democrat" opposite their names. The court also dismissed the cases In re- altlon to the sound money democratic nomi nees for congress In the Fourth and Fifth districts. ROSE'S CASE GOES THE SAME WAY. Little or * no Interest was taken by the politicians outsldo of the parties In Interest In the arguments In the petition ot the Rose faction , which were heard by the court I in mediately after the handing down of the above opinion. Paper Hanger Rose was rep resented in court by Attorney Woolcy of Lincoln , and his opponents of the Gere con vcntlon by John H. Ames and Attorney Stcele. The chief bone ot contention was the construction to bo placed by the court upon the definition ot a political convention , or primary meeting , as laid down In section 127 of the statutes. Mr. Wooloy held that a body of voters , under this section , 1mi : the legal right to assemble In mass con vention , adopting their own nomenclature , whether as duly elected delegates or In dividuals , and proceed to place their chosen candidates In nomination , Just so long as the party they claimed to represent had actually cast 1 per cent of the entire vote of the state at the last election. Mr. Ames took a radically different view of this section. Ho argued that the only construction which could be logically applied to It was that while the letter of the law says distinctly tnat a uoay or voters or cicia gates may assemble In mass convention , such body must be able to show that R had an actual , well organized political party behlm it , and not a mythical agglomeration com posed of soreheads and disgruntled voters Upon these two central thoughts the case wca submitted , not without an argument of some length , however. The court late thla evening handed down Its decision In the Rose protest case. The opinion In full la as follows ; Btnte of Nebraska ex. rcl. Frank li. Hose against J. A. Piper. The writ of mandamus rnupt bo denied In this case for the follow ing reasons : 1. Thn secretary of state nan upon n hear * Ing hnd pursuant to statute found that th. candidates named in the petition of relater wore not In fact nominated by ti convcntloi called and held In accordance with the usages of n political jnirty which cast pcrcentum of the vote of the state nt the last general election , or by a faction In gooi faith claiming to represent a party casting u pcrcentum of the vote of the state. 2. The act approved March 0. 1 D1 , knowt an the Australian ballot law makes no pro vision for the nomination of the stain ofll cor a by mass convention , composed of less than MX ) voters , or 1 pcrcentum of the en tire vote of the Btato cast In the last genera election.

Iteed Trim t Pacify Wounded 1'VclliiK" ! > Nilntf Cliiilrniiiii JoiifN IN MI Knlr anil Ilrond-Mlnded .Alan. ATLANTA , Go. , Oct. 21. A bombshell waa exploded In political circles hero , today by the publication ot a letter from Dr. W. H. Fclton , populist nomlnco for elector , withdrawing his name from the ticket nnd pledging his support to McKlnley. Ur. Fclton waa at ono tluie member ot congrcta. from the Seventh district and has long been conspicuous In Georgia politics. His course Is construed by many as Indicating that thcro will bo a general defection tn McKln ley from the populist ranks In Georgia on account of the treatment of the populist proposition for fusion at the hands ot the democratic state committee. In giving his reason for going over to Mc Klnley , Dr. Fclton , among oilier things , says : "First , I felt Indignant at the treat ment of Hon. Thomas E. Watson by Candi date Bryan , who has Ignored the Georgia , populist leader up to date. I desired to bo frco to vote as I pleased , and I shall not vote for Hon. William J. Bryan. A nun who could vote for Weaver In 1S92 against the democratic nominee , a pill I could not stomach , Is not the person to refuse to ac cept Hon. Thomas E. Watson of Georgia as his running mate on a presidential ticket. I hold Mr. Bryan Is responsible for the In- Biilt passed upon southern populists when his chairman , Jones , remanded us 'back to the ' whcro ho said ' * negroes , we 'belonged. It was a gratuitous Insult to a million ot southern men who offered to vote for Can didate Bryan upon the condition that Mr. Scwall was withdrawn and Mr. Watson made Iho regular nominee. The Insult was so gross and uncalled for that Candidate. Bryan would have been justified In displacing his man Jones as the smallest reparation that ho could offer. "On October 14 , Hon. Thomas E. Watson wired Abe Stelnbcrger at Topcka , Kan , , that , the populists had been sold out and their party made a footmat for democratic poli ticians to wipe their feet on under tbo hypocritical pretense of patriotism. "I was convinced that the party was sola cut at St. LouU through a coalition between Chairman Jonc * and the Sliver trust on ono sldo and the Allan-Woaver-l'onor-Kolb.Dut- .lorjjcotnblnallon ion the-other. , , l.do-riot. Intend tb bo "kidnaped 'Into voting tor. Hon. A. Sowall by any trick or combination at this late hour. If I must vote for what ho represents I will take the chances on & candidate who docs not deceive me. " The subcommittee appointed by the popu list state central committee to take final action on the electoral situation deferred their meeting until tonight. The post ponement , It was understood , was to await the result of a conference between populist Commlttccman Washburno aud Democratic Chairman Jones In Chicago today. At this conference. It waa understood here , Mr. Washburno was to submit to Senator Jonca three alternative propositions. It Is Im possible to get any Information as to the nature of these propositions further than this , that they look to a general arrange ment for fusion , and as a sine qua nan to such an arrangement. It Is required that Mr. Watson shall have the entire vote of Geor gia. No arrangement which docs not In clude this will bo entertained by the popu lists. Speaking on the situation , Mr. H. V. Reed S3 id : "I have worked very hard on this matter and have traveled at least 10,000 miles. There are different views In both parties and this renders the situation a very difficult one. I believe Senator Jones Is a fair man and wants to do Iho fair thing. I think ho takes broader vlcns thin local politicians and Is sincerely de sirous of the triumph ot the silver cause. " The committee again adjourned until to morrow , after convening at 7 o'clock , without having taken any action , WILL WITHDRAW ELECTORS. The People's Party Paper , In Its Issue for the current week , given out tonight , says populist electors In Georgia will probably be withdrawn entirely. It further says : "Tho populists ot Georgia made on earnest effort to secure a united front for Bryan and Watson. The democrats refused to listen to their demands. They treat tbo pop ulists with contempt. Do not answer them , but give their reply to the press. The pop ulist electors In Georgia will probably bo withdrawn. Populists , will all work for their congressmen. The democrats , after passing their resolutions , had about four hours In which to communicate with the populist ex ecutive committee , which was In session. Their resolution proves they did not Intend to communicate with the populists , only to make peace with the public. " CHICAGO , Oct. 21 , George E. Washburne , chairman of the western branch of the pop ulist national committee hold a conference today regarding the situation In Georgia and Kansas , but especially In the former state. * Beyond stating that tbo conference resulted "us ho had " predicted" Mr. Wash burne refused to dlscues the matter ? Ho was moro converslvo , however , when told of the resignation of Populist Elector W. H. ' Fclton of Georgia. "It Is not surprising to mo , " said Mr. Washburne. "You have no Idea of the Intensity of the feeling among ; the populists In that state. It cannot b exaggerated. " "Will It bo followed by other resigna tions ? " "Possibly. " "What action Is Mr. Watson going to take ? " "It will depend entirely upon the result of my coiffcronco with Senator Jones. " From the talk around the populist head quarters U is evident that small hopes are entertained of accomplishing the desired fusion In Georgia. Unless the fusion Is effected , U Is strongly Intimated that the populists will withdraw their electors In Georgia. "That means only ono thing , " said a prominent populist , "that Is that nine-tenths ot them will vote for McKlnloy and tune with the republicans on the con- grt'splonit tickets. Thr populists and repub licans thrro are In the 'xamo boat. They have shared the tmino humiliation and It Is only natural that Ihoy should take such action. There Is nno thing certain. Thcro will bo eemo pretty rapid movemcnto around hero In the next four days and prob ably liciol ! measures adopted , " BIRMINGHAM , Ala. , Oct. 21. Hon. Thomas E.
