MAJOR U'KINLEFS UTTEKANCK8 AFLAVDED BY DELEGATIONS.

The Streets of Canton Were Thronged Yesterday, All Thoroughfares Leading to the Tabernacle.

THE "HEAVY WEIGHT" M'KISLETCLUB

CAME 8KVEKAL. HUNDRED 8TBONG FROM SPRINGFIELD, O.

Portage County Sent Four Special Trains Witb Greetings For McKlnley—The Candidate's Speeches*

Canton, Ohio., Oct., 1.—A delegation from Springfield, Ohio, arrived on a special train of seven coaches this afternoon. It brought the "heavy weight" McKinley and Hobart Club, other clubs and citizens generally under the caption "The Clark County Brigade." After a short parade in the business portion of the city Ihe crowd assembled in the Tabernacle, Where addresses were made oy Judge John C. Miller and Major McKinley.

The candidate, after some complimentary remarks about the citizens of Springfield and Clark county, said in part: "If free silver is to be inaugurated 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 existing business and prosperity. 'This uncertainty makes every business man pause makes every business enterprise halt and, while they pause and halt, the home of every workingman is filled with despair. "Capital hesitates to invest because it fcees danger ahead and is unable to count with certainty upon either the safety of its principle or the return of profits and •while capital waits outside the factory, the machinery within is silent, labor is unemployed and poverty presides about the firesides of the men who toil. Mr. Cyrus H. McCormick of Chicago, who is at the head of one of the harvesting companies, wrote as follows: 'We have never before been so at a loss to lay our plans and work for the next season as we are at this time. If we thought that the country would go for the unlimited coinage of silver, we would not %yish to run our shops for more than one half their capacity."

Must Have Stability in Values. "I assume that would be true in the case of the harvesting machine company of Chicago would be true of every harvesting machine concern in Springfield and throughout the country. Your business fnirly illustrates the close relation between the manufacturer and the agricultural producer. When you are prosperous, tho farmer is prosperous. When the farmer is prosperous you have your most profitable trade.

Business of every character is so interwoven, so dependent anu independent upon every other business that hurt to the one is hurt to the other. In 'lS92 people used to' think that you could hurt the manufacture and help the rest o£ mankind. They labor under no such delusion now. "We must have stability in values and confidence in national and individual integrity before wo can have real and permanent prosperity. We must have confidence that our revenue legislation will supply adequate money for the public treasury and protect American labor and American interests in every part of the country. Alexander Hamilton once said: "There is scarcely any point In the economy of national pffairs of greater moment than the uniform preservation of the intrinsic of the money unit. In this the security and steady value of property essentially depends.' "We must get over the idea, if we ever had it, thnt there is any legerdemain in finances that congress by its mere breath can make something out of nothing that it can decree that 52 cents' worth of silver shall be worth 100 cents. Congress can do much it can protect the life and property af citizens, as it shoukf do so it can provide revenue laws which will make the treasury easy and protect American produc-

Uooit as (.old.

Good credit and good currency are as Indispensable to labor as to capital, and he ft ho U-aches any other doctrine is an eneof the country prosperity. Good currency gives protection to labor and to every American interest as a wise protective tariff gives protection to American workshops

on the side of honesty, as we will settle it this year, we will then make a tariff, an American tariff, a protective tariff which will provide against deficiencies in the public 'feasury and strong enough to uphold the American factory- and preserve the American market for the American people." (Tremendous cheering and three cheers for McKinley.)

ANOTHER DELEGATION.

Four Special Trains Arrive From Portage County, Ohio. Four special trains brought a delegation from Portage county, O., with greetings for Major McKinley, who addressed the visitors in the Tabernacle. He said in part: "We propose in this contest to protect the money of the United States from debasement and by the same vote we propose to protect American labor from the competition of the cheaper labor of the old world. In the great contests of the past, both in war and in peace, the Republican party has done proud and conspicuous service in the cause of liberty, honor, justice and truth. Let us preserve her splendid example. The issues of the present campaign, quite as distinctly as any of the great campaigns of the past, devolve upon every American citizen a most important duty. Our contention this year appeals to the best aspirations of American citizenship and involves just as certainly as any contest in the past ever involved, the honor and good faith of the country-. We cannot close our eyes to the fact that if by our ballots we lower the credit of the government or repudiate its honets obligations, in whole or in part, or deliberately depreciate a vast amount of its currency, we have aimed a blow at its hitherto unsullied name and honor. The grand old Western reserve is full of patriotic recollections. It is the home of Glddings, of Wade, of Garfield, and the home of the most splendid Republicanism. Never has the Republican cause more clearly appealed to conscience and intelligence than in this campaign. The patriotism for which you are so justly celebrated must not be abated. The strong, clear voice of your people, which has been heard so distinctly in perilous times of the past, must again resound throughout the nation in thunder tones for truth and justice and honor and honesty. Your glorious past appeals to you to abate not effort because the tide of public opinion seems so strongly in your favor. It must be a victory triumphant enough to be worthy of the cause fjr which we stand."

IN CLAY COUNTY.

The Republicans Are JCnthuslastlc and Active--Preparing for the Barbecue. Special to The Express.

Brazil, Ind., Oct. 1.—Worthy of comment is the wonderful enthusiasm being manifested in the present campaign by the Republicans of this city and county. A street corner announcement of a coming Republican speaking suffices to bring out a large and appreciative audience. Republicanism seems at a fever heat here, which is an evidence of great faith in the doctrine of the party and of splendid local management. Only twenty-four hours' notice brought out between 2,500 and 3,000 enthusiastic people Saturday evening to hear A. G. Roberts, the bright colored orator of Chicago. On Monday evening, despite the driving rain, a mammoth crowd assembled to hear Johu L. Griffith of Indianapolis, and again this remarkable enthusiasm was manifested. And now the climax of all politcal events is to be the grand Republican barbecue here on the 7th, when ten beeves, forty hogs and sixty sheep will be roasted for the assemblage, which, it is confidently believed, will pass the 10,000 mark.

BELIEVERS II' THE FAITH CURE.

They Are Held Criminally Responsible for a Iloy's Death. Scranton, Pa., Oct. 1.—Coroner Longstreet and his investigating jury have decided that Mrs. Charles Maynard and Mrs. David McKee, Christian Scientist healers, and James Wood, a believer in that faith, are criminally responsible for the death of the latter's 12-year-old son. The women are also charged with violating the city's health laws, in not placarding the house with a diphtheria sign and with institutiug forms of treatment for the cure of diseases and receiving money therefor, contra'-y to state laws. District Attorney Jones has received the jury's verdict, and will have the persons condemned by it put under bonds to answer at court.

proposition to withdraw from the general

in Indiana. The movement was started by members of the Vincennes Lbdge, who discovered that members in the state were paying more in assessments than they would have to pay under the death rate in this state. Th" scheme was considered impracticable by the Grand Lodge. There is a good deal of dissatisfaction among older members of the lodge on account of the new method of assessment. Formerly each member paid $1 for each death assessment. Now the amount is graded according to the age of the members. The change was made to influence young men to join. The new method makes an assessment cost from $1 to $6, according to the age.

Pensacola, Fla., Oct. 1.—Railroad' communication with the eastern and 'middle parts of the state has just been re-estab-lished and harrowing tales are being received of the West Indian storm, which swept over the peninsula of Florida Monday night and Tuesday morning. It appears that the storm left the gulf and struck the coast about Cedar Keys, which is said to be almost completely wreckeJ. From fiere it swept in a northeasterly c-urse, its diameter being about forty miles across the state, doing fearful damage at the towns of Gainesville, High Sp-ings, Newberry, Lake City, Bronsford, Callahan anc' others. Brick and frame buildings were blown down, and near Callahan several children were killed in a schoolhouse which was -wrecked. The wind is reported to have raaehed a velocity "f 100 miles an hour, and there!' was widespread destruction in the path of the storm. It is impossible yet to learn how many persons were killed, but it is believed the dead will number 100, and that many others were injured. Much damage is reported at Jacksonville, but no loss of life, as th^ center of the storm seems to have passed to the north of that city. The storm was not felt here, but after it left the gulf Monday night a high bank of air rushed in from the north blowing almost a gale and lowering the temperature about twenty-five degrees. Later reports, received tonight show that the storm was a twisting tornado that moved with great rapidity from the gulf to the Atlantic coast. In many places buildings were wrecked in less than a minute, and soon afterward the sun was shining brightly. The loss of property cannot now be estimated, but it is very heavy, not only in the towns, but on the farms, where the crops were destroyed.

THE STAUNTON FLOOD.

Caused by the Bursting of a Lake—Bodies Recovered. Staunton, Va., Oct. 1.—The flood hers was cau ed by the bursting of the lake and the emptyir of its waters into a stream already badly swollen by the rains. From 10 to 12 o'clock Tuesday night the rain came down in ton .its and soon changed Lewis creek, which runs through Staunton, into a mill race. The creek, after it enters well into the city, flows c1 )wn through a large arched eewu.' under Central avenu This stream became ra^'ng torrent and the water, being in too large volume to «ass through the tunnel, backed and quickly swept the neighborhood.

Special to The Express.

Indianapolis, Oct. 1.—Friends of the Hon. Johu Gilbert Shanklin are putting him forth as a candidate for senator in case the Popocrats and Populists should succeed in Rapturing 'he next legislature. The announcement does not surprise any of the politicians. Mr. Shanklin has been A candidate for,about everything in sight during the past four years and it was a motal edi'tainty t^at he would bs brought forth for1 this position. The mention of his name does not alarm the friends of Matthews. They declare that there is plenty of time between now and January for Shanklin to make some misstep and knock his chances into a cocked nev.er neglects to caimidate for as much as a month at a time. Shanklin will probably be..somewhat more acceptable to the radical silver element than Matthews and some of the Populist leaders declare that tho twenty-seven Populists who have been put on fusion legislative tickets would not vote for Matthews. The supporters of Matthews smile hilariously at this. They had some experience with Populists last week and are convinced that by bringing "influence" of,a certain kind to bear Populists can be induced to do anything.

CANADIAN PACIFIC TROUBLE..

Striking Operators Preparing to Spring Surprise on the Company. Winnipeg, Manitoba, Oct. 1.—The Canadian Pacific railroad officials have been very active all day and every effort is being made to get things in shape again. So far there is very little change In the strike situation. Superintendent White is confident that the company will win and says that it will cot yield a single inch from the stand it has taken. Rtports from his office are to the effect that mor* than the required number of men can, without difficulty be engaged to take tha places of the strikers. On the other hand tt-e stridors are just as confident. They intimate that they have another surprise la store to spring on the company If necessary and one which will completely cripple the system It is understood that the other railway orders strongly sympathise with thestrikers and that unless a settlement is sooa re.ichcd a manifestation will be seen.

Mr. E. T. Hatch, superintendent of tho T. H. & L.„ was seen last evening in regard to the rumor. In reply to the question as to whether it was true, ho said: "The only foundation I can see for the rumor is the fact that the T.

While I havo no direct way of knowing of any such move, as such things rest wholly with the board of directors, still, I don't see why there should be any alarm, since our bonds are secured by the T. H. & I., and the T. H. & I. bonds are in turn secured by the Pennsylvania. I should say from what I know ot the report that it was started by some bondholder down in New York because he did not get his interest."
