AN INDIANA DELEGATION.

A SmimII Bat Kntbasiaatte CrotrU— What He Said To Them — Hie Speeches Vest* rday—Harrison Speaks In West Virginia.

Special to The Indianapolis New*.

Ctuiton. 0., October 7.-The Horsier State was very much In evidence In Canton today. Before ths morning sun had driven away the heavy frost an errthusiaatlc delegation arrived from Good land, Ind. In the delegation wa* the Goodland McKinley i Club, of fifty members This organisation claims ths distinction of being the first McKinley club organised in ths country, ths dote of said organization being May 16. ISM. They were heartily welcomed by the local reception committee and conducted to their headquarters. Daniel Grey, a mem- j ber of the delegation, voted for William Henry Harrison in 1840, and wae one of th■Jlginal members of the Republican party, n sms not at all fatigued by the long ; Wfc although he is eighty-four yearn #1, and is enthusiastic for McKinley, pro- ' faction, reciprocity and sound money. At > o’clock the Good land people were escOrtsd to the McKinley residence, wherp they Were well received. When Major McKinley appeared, he was greeted With loud and prolonged cheering. A. B. Jenkins, treasurer or Newton county, made the presentation speech. He spoke of the founding °t the club, and said it considered *'• themselves honored by bearing the name it did. He said Indiana had felt the frosted hand of Democratic legislation, sad bsd suffered terribly from its dire presence. "But Indiana shall be redeemed," he said, and promised its electormi vote for the "champion of national integral and honesty.” Major McKinley rapiled briefly to this address, thanking the visitors for their trouble in calling upon him, and touching upon issues involved In the campaign. At the conclusion of the address he shook hands with all present. After the addresses, the Good land Glee Club rendered several selections on the streets to the delight of all listeners. The delegation leaves for home

this afternoon.

In response to the formal presentation of the delegation. Major McKinley said: "My Fellow-Citizens of Goodland, Ind.It gives me very great pleasure to meet you here at’my home this morning. It is always a distinction to have a political organisation adopt one s name. It is especially gratifying to me to be assured . that if you are not the first club in the United States to give me that honor, you are certainly the first in the State of Indiana. and I thank you for it. "We are engaged this year in a great | ^ national contest, the result of which will he for years to come thep ublic which shall govern this country, nent is always an interesting . There is a deal of misunderstanding to how the Government gets its money, and how U pays it out. There are some people who seem to believe that the way

It was notable for the fact that, in passing over every Democrat who had achieved distinction in his party—passing every man who had ex-

It means distress, and what is true of your county has been substantially true—possibly not to so large a degree—of other counties of your State and throughout the entire country. “Now. what we want to do. whether we are railroad men or farmers, or professional men, or mechanics, or laboring men, is to get back to a policy that will give us a chance to increase our manufacturing, improve our home market, extend our foreign market and give employment every day in the year to every workman who wants it. (Applause.) It will be but follow the lamp of experience, and follow in the direction which the light of that lamp leads us on the 3d day of November, we will vote down the policies which have brought us these conditions and vote to continue a monetary system built upon a solid basis, which will give vis the best money of the world, a money which panics can not disturb and business failures can not depreciate.

of that legislation since then? The same question is presented now as then, with the added one which ihvolves the character of our currency and the inviolability of our'’credit. If the free trade policy of the Democratic Congress merited (as I think, justly) the condemnation you gave it, now, how much greater must be your vote of protest and disapproval when it is coupled with the proposition'to enter upon the free and unlimited coinage of

the silver of the world.

“The neople of;New York are naturally most deeply concerned as to the outcome of the latter issue, possessing, as they do, nearly six hundred millions in their savings banks, $300,000,000 in your insurance companies, $700,000,000 in the capital and loan of your State end national banks, in addition to your other forms of property, in all of which they would suffer immense loss If we should enter upon an era of dishonest and depreciated currency. Greatly as you have suffered in your business \enterprises by the tariff policy, which has) prevailed for the past three years, the new issue would still further entail loss and injury, and Is a change, I believe, that our people will not tolerate for an Instant, as they value their material Interests and the

honor of this great Nation.

"Property and investment are dear to all of them, but I am fully persuaded that now, as so many times In the past, neither would wfelgh in the balance with love of country, whenever, wherever and however its honor may be assailed. As the allied parties In opposition are urging this question it is not a proposition for the free coinage of both gold and silver, but practically that of silver alone, and not silver by International agreement, for to that they are opposed. : ut solely, exclusively and deftnitely, if you please, the free, independent and unrestricted coinage of the silver of the world, regardless of consequences and despite the certain distress and ruin In whlcn it would involve us all. Considerations of prudence, a faithful regard for our ebligaiions and proper respect for the rights of our citizens as individuals, are c 11 left out of the question and we are blindly to follow wherever they may dare to lead. It is not a leap In the dark, for we know, from sad experience, what a depreciated currency means to every invested Interest; what it means to wages, to labor and property, to credit and to the coun-

try itself. '

"Ignoring all existing conditions among the great commercial nations of the world and the requirements of round finance; oblivious to every consideration of prudence, care, thrift and national integrity. their proposition would enguit us In a system of absolute silver monometallism, for they are themselves the onlv unconditional and unqualified monometallists In the United States. Our policy insures the use of both gold and silver at an equality. They seek to drive us to silver alone. They advocate what they call financial Independence, and in the name of Independence they appeal to us to debase our currency attd repudiate In part or whole all our debts and sully our rational honor. This we decline forever to do. This is not the character of Independence which the American people love and sustain and are accustomed to exercise. It Is Independence with honor to which we hold, not any dependence to which attaches a taint of dishonor. We would not want that distinction at any

price.

"It Is neither dignified nor justified in public debate that we Indulge in harsh names. It is not becoming to any one to do it. nor does it help the cause which is espoused. I prefer to treat my fellow-citi-zens as being honest In their convictions, and desirous only of what they believe will promote the public welfare, convinced that if they are wrong they will eventually espouse the right ^hert at last they see the right It Is their Intelligence we seek to reach; it is their sober Judgment we Invoke; It Is their patriotism to which wc appeal. It is to persuade, not to abuse, which Is the object of rightful public discussion. In that spirit I address my fellowcitlsens and adjure them to reflect before they add either dishonor to our credit or our currency. Let the words of the revered statesmen of all parties of the past dissuade them from putting any stain upon the financial honor and hitherto good

name, of this Republic. To Mlch-lffnn Farmers.

To a delegation of farmer* from Ml htgan the Republican nominee said, in part: “We want in this country none of the harsh and degraded conditions of the free soil of America that prevail In some other i

countries. And we do not mean to have j them because, unlike other governments of | the world, this Government rests upon the

HARRISON l.Y WEST VIRGINIA.

The Ex-President Make* Brief

Speech^* at A'arions Towns.

Charleston, ; W. Va., October 7.—ExPresident Hajrrison had a most enthusiastic reception -here last night and spoke to an audience of many thousand of people. On his tyay home yesterday, he made brief speeches at various tov^ns. At Ronbeverte, where, the first stop Was made. General Harrison spok briefly. Referring

to free silver,(he said:

“The word free is very attractive, wherever we find it. It was a great word with the colored people during the war, and has been since, but there are not many things to which you can attach it. The good Lord who made this world and put us in it didn’t make many things free. Water and air aie free, but He ordered it, as to almost everything else, that we ■ would have to work for it—get it by some toll by the sweat of the brow. All this talk

want none of their artificial conditions of birth and society in our matchless civilization. The door of opportunity swings open to the honest, industrious workingmen as well as to those of every other condition. "They talk about being a debtor nation. and because we are a debtor nation they want us to repudiate our debts. They say we should be opposed to the great commercial countries of the world, and talk of our asserting our independence of them by proving a nation of dishonest creditors. That sentiment, my fel-low-citizens, will never meet with the indorsement of a majority of the American people, and the farmers least of all.

are going to be allowed to pick it up somewhere. You will not find it scattered about the roads. If you get It you

will have to tolnl foi* it.

"At the close of the war a story was started that the United States was to give to each colored man forty acres and a mule. That was a deceptive statement, and the colored man found he had to work out his own way. He was free to work—

there was nothing else free.

“If we should coin silver free—If the United States wmiid say to every man who had silver, ’Bring it to our mints, and every 412% grains we" will stamp as a dollar, and let you take it away with you,’

an orator. A gift of speech is a good gift, but a prize at an interstate collegiate debating society is not a full guaranty of fitness to admlnbrtew the affairs of seventy millions of people. We ^ave usually thought, In choosing candidates for the presidency and vice-presidency, that some achievement, some experience, some maturity of years, was essential for those great offices. The convention at Chicago thought otherwise, and has given us as its candidate a man of whom 1 have no evil word to say. but one who is, in my judgment, to-day proclaiming sentiments and advocating doctrines that greatlv tend to hurt all the people and> will greatly hurt the honor and prosperity of the country we love." The speaker discussed at some lengta the tariff policies of the two parties. He "The Democrats now admit that their policy as carried out by the Wilson bill has failed to bring the prosperity promised four years ago. But they now effer as a panacea for our present ills^ree silver. It is more days’ work in this country that we tvant. and not a different kind of money. Free silver will not make one more day’s work for any man. We must have a money that is Indisputably good, a money that the farmer can receive at his home and keep there .a month, and when he ccmes to town with il be sure it is worth Just what he took it for.” General Harrison soolfe of the Democratic assault upon Mr. Cleveland for^ending troops to Chicago to establish order, and called attention to the fact that Senator Daniel was the chairman of the convention making the assault, and was also the man who offered a resolution in the Senate approving Mr. Cleveland's course in the matter. He closed with an eulogy of I the Republican candidate, saying: "A candidate who has shown his devotion to the flag; e. candidate who will never allow it to be dishonored at home or abroad; a candidate who will faltflfully exI ecute his oath to enforce the laws against ail who oppose; a man who has achieved * not one, not one who won a college contest in declamation, but one who hae won honor on the bloody field of battle bearing his country’s flag to the front; one who has had long experience In public affairs; who has been conspicuous In the great Hoijse of Representatives; one the whole story of whose life is a pledge that these great policies for the betterment of our people will have his faithful and Intelligent

support."

and manufacturers, but the vast army of small capitalists and the laboring men found in every community of the land. The Secretary of the Treasury says that the industrious and frugal people are today the creditors or the banks and trust companies, the building associations and other institutions of that character, to the extent of five billions of dollars, while the same people, very largely, are the policy-holders in our insurance companies, who owe ten billions. That debt is not due the rich. It is due to the sons of thrift and toil. It represents in many in-

stances the savings of a lifetime, put aside i f, n

At Hinton there was another large crowd and the General spoke ten minutes, confining his remarks chiefly to the silver question.

call.

Michigan is a great State; she has everything that could make her rich; she has rich minerals, lake and river frontage, railroads, mines and splendid soil. All that Michigan wants now is the touchstone of confidence. That will drive away distrust, and the presence of it will encourage investmentes—she wants a protective tariff, a tariff that will protect her mines and manufactories and her fields and ports; that will protect the home market, the best market In the world to the

American farmer.

"Farmers of Michigan, the only market we can rely upon is the home market, and the home market is good if the wheels of Industry are running, and the wheels of industry are runnihg only when American production is protected against the cheaper products of other lands.” To the Pennsylvanians. To a delegation from East Brady, Pa., Major McKinley said: "We are too apt forget what is behind us,and too apt to be heedless of our own experience. We can hardly realize that from 1873 to 1894 we reduced the public debt from $2,333,331,306 in 1866 to $570,000,000 in 1893. We paid off during those twenty years $1,623,581,673 of the public debt. And, we were under a protective and sound money system when we were making the large payments. Two-thirds of that great debt has disappeared and while we were paying it oft we were building in this country the most splendid industrial enterprises, giving constant and steady employment to American labor at fair wages and giving to the farmers of the country a just feward for their toil and labor. During that period, for the greater part of the time we were selling more goods abroad than we were buying abroad. And the balance of trade was therefore in our favor and that balance of trade settled as it was In gold, gave us the good yellow money from the other side

of the ocean. —

"Now, my fellow-citizens, four years ago the people of this country determined to change that policy, and they did change it. What has been the result? We have since that time created a national debt, principal and interest, of about $300,000,000. We have had for the great pan of that time a deficiency in the Treasury, the Government not collecting sufficient rev-

other kind of money upon you, however loud his pretensions of friendship may be,

is the enemy of the workingman.” At Montgomery he referred to the tariff question, and contrasted the present

condition under the Wilson law with that

Under the McKinley law. He said: “Mr. Bryen voted for the Wilson bill. Indeed, it was as an extreme free-trader that he made his first reputation. He tells you now that things will be very good lyheiy you get free silver. He told yu they would be very good wnen you got free trade. Under the first approach of free trade the Democratic Congress could make, they have, been very bad. Mr. Bryan has not, I thii)«, established his reputation with j'ou as a prophet.” Referring to his own personal relation to the campaign. General Harrison said: “It is not because of any personal Interest thAt I appeal to you. I am a candidate for no office. I have been fully honored by the people of this country, but I owe it to them to give them the best opinion I have, based upon my experience and any knowledge I may have gained. I have tut one wish in my heart: That this country that you and I love shall be prosperous; that prosperity shall go to every home and that every .workingman may have the best possible returns for his

labor.”

Ill* Charleston Speech. In this city, [when the Hon. Samuel Burdett introduced General Harrirson, there was great enthusiasm. The cheering broke out anew as the ex-President stepped forwabd, but when he raised his hand there was an instant hush. It was not broken, save by applause, until the speaker concluded. In opening, he said: "We are now in a campaign which seems to have stirred the interests of the people to a most astounding degree. The Chicago convention was the most notable, in some respects, that has ever'been held In this country. It was notable for the

Lima, Peru, Octobtr 7, 10 a. m.—The fire at Guayaquil, Ecuador, which is said to have destroyed fifteen squares of that town, including the ffiost Important buildings in it. Is still raging. Among the buildings known to have been destroy€d are four banks, all the foreign consulates, all the hotels except one, two churches, all the principal business houses, the military barracks and the arsenal. ¥ It !a further stated that Guayaquil has been burned from the postofflee to the custom-house, the flames extending from the bank of the river. A Stage Coacli "Held Up.” Sonora, Cal.. October 7.—For the third time in six months the Sonora stage was “held up” yesterday, near the mining town of Cloudman, and two masked robbers forced the driver to deliver the mail pouches and express box, which were rifled of registered letters and valuable packages. The value of the spoils is unknown. A posse Is in pursuit of the robbers, A Passenger* Steamer Sank. Gallipolls, O., October 7.—The elegant passenger steamer Columbia struck a rock near Red House, on the Ohio river, this morning and sank almost immediately. The passengers escaped in yawls. The steamer was valued at between $14,000 and

An Impression of Bryan. To the Editor of The Indianapolis News: Judged by hi* appearance and his •peech, Mr. Bryan, in his talk from the Tomlinson Hall balcony, certainly did not show to advantage. His profile is the better presentation of his face. This view shows, It is true, a Napoleqnesque cast of feature, a hard, cold, unsympathetic mouth and withal a suggestion of egotism. The full face presentation of the Bryan features indicates a weaker character than appears from a side reading of his countenance. His thin lips, slightly turning up at the mouth corners, and the smug appearance Of self-confidence give a more pronounced stamp of egotism. His head is longer from chin to crown and of less depth from front to rear than Is indicated in his pictures. The forehead is narrower and. more sloping than appears In any of the newspaper pictures I have seen. In this Tomlinson Hall speech he had occasion to use the words "financiers” and “bankers ,, a number of times, and when he did so the expression of the speaker was not pleasant—was even sinister. At these words the corners of his thin lips curled sarcastically and one might at such moments recall another boy orator and “friend of the people” who put like bitterness and emphasis in the word “aristocrat.” This boy orator and friend of the people was also a lawyer, a lawyer without practice, but who achieved success as a populistic orator and departed this life lnJuly,1794,at the early age of thlr, ty-six years. It was a feast tor ihe Populists of one hundred years ago to hear tnls other "friend of the people ’ roll the bitter, biting syllables of the word "aristocrat” over his thin lips. The name of this boy orator of a century ago was Robespierre. < ~ D. General Trocho Dead.
