PERIOD. vy Lever Bros., Ltd., Hudson and Harrison PD tr BOE POCOSOSISTOSSOISSEHSOS ESOS teld Major McKinley that the nominally democratic states of New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland would certainly be carried for him. The democrats in the east, so he told Major McKinley, were presenting a very weak front. They were without or- ganization or money, bolters from their ranks were constantly coming to the front and declaring their intention to vote for McKinley and sound morey, and it is not strange that they are demoralized and ut- terly unfit to cope with the solid and har- monious republican forces. This is true in almost every state managed from the New York headquarters. In the West. A short time before Mr. Hobart’s visit, Mr. Charles G. Dawes, who acts as execu- tive officer at the Chicago headquarters, spent a few hours with Major McKinley bere. All things considered, Mr. Dawes’ re- Fort of the condition of affairs in the west Was as flattering as that which Mr. Hobart brought from the east. Mr. Dawes said the great fight this year will be confined to the Mississippi valley. It is here that the bsyan men will make their stand. In Uh- » Missouri, Wisconsin, Mirnesota and in higan and Indiana the real fight will be Waged during the weeks between now and November 4. As far as Illinois is concerngd, the reports at the Chicago headquarters tend to show that the strength of the Mc- Kinley men in the city of Chicago and in Cook county is almost sufficient to carry the state. In Indiana a month ago the free silver sentiment was said to be as strong as in any of the western states; but the latest reports at Chicago show a wonderful change, and Mr. Dawes regards the state as absolutely safe for McKinley. In Ken- tucky the same condition of affairs pr: vails as that which resulted in the election of Bradley. The democratic party is split and the chief democratic organ of the state is openly advocating the election of M Kinley. Authentic estimates tend to show that McKinley will be able to carry the state by the same popular majority which Gov. Bradley received. The Doubtful States. In Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota the campaign of education is being pushed with the utmost vigor, and following the consignment of a box of campaign liter- ature to the county or district of one of these states invarixbly comes the report of a rapid change in feeling and a demand for good speakers to complete the victory. The organization of McKinley and Hobart clubs over the country has been won ler- fully successful. In one day alone almost 100 telegrams were received by Maj. Mc- Kinley here in Canton from every part of the United States announcing the organ- ization of clubs bearing his name. In no Frevious campaign have there been half so many of these organizaiions started. From the latest reports received here the fcllowing table has been made of states that are regarded by members of the ex- ecutive committee as certain to give their electoral vote to Maj. McKinley California Conne Delaware Mtnots. South S Vermont 315 Washi Michigan. Minnesota. New Jersey rionmen Ba lecSae Great Confidenc This would give Major McKinley a total electoral vote of while it only takes 224 to elect. This statement? members of the committee ssy, has been most carefully prepared, and it !s regarded as authentic. vertheless, while this feeling of con- fidence exists here in Canton, there will be no abatement of the fight until the very last minute. It is of interest to note that a careful poll has been made of Major M Kinley’s precinct in Canton and of Mr. Bryan's in Lincoln. Major McKinley's pre- cinct here fs strongly democratic, but the poll shows it will give the major a majority of about fifty, while Mr. Br in Lincoin will give Major McKinley a ma- jority of 130. In addition to these various satisfactory reports which Major McKinley has re- ceived, there have been 1 num) unusually enthusiastic delegations | ton this week. No idea can be print of the enthusiasm which Mls the hearts of the hund is of people who travel many miiec to see and hear ‘Major Me Kinley. They fill his yard and veranda and the street in front, and over on the adjoining yard: and climb the trees in front of the major’s house, and cheer and cheer until one would think they had no breath left in their bodi I saw a large number of delegations that went to In- dianapolis to visit_ex-President Harrison eight years ago. There {s no comparison in enthusiasm with those which come to Canton. ‘The Veranda Program. Fifty of the citizens of Canton have or- ganized themseives into @ permanent ¢s- cort club, They are uniformed, and each man is mounted, and the organization is well drilled. This escort club meets every delegation at the depot and precedes it to the major’s house. When the sound of the band ts heard far down the street a table is placed on the major’s veranda, and the stenographers for the press socia- tions and correspondents take their places. Samuei Saxton, the major’s nephew, who acts as one of ‘his secretaries, goes to the gate to meet the leader and spokesman of the delegation, who is at once taken into the house and introduced to Major Mc- Kinley. In the meantime, the members cf the delegation crowd into the yard, and the band plays, and the cheering goes on unremittingly, until at last the major ap- pears on the veranda. Then there are more cheers, and finally the spokesman of the delegation advances and usually, with a short speech, introduces Major McKinley. A chair is placed for the major, who takes his stand on it before he speaks. As he mounts the chair those in the street who have been unable to crowd into the yard catch their first glimpse of him, and ‘the cheering breaks forth anew. But finally quiet. is restored, and the major begins his speech. The Barricade. When he has finished a barricade of chairs is made on the veranda so as to allow one man to reach the major at a time; then a line is formed, and, in single file, the members of the delegation pass over the veranda and shake hands with the major. In almost every instance a number of ladies come with the delegation. These the major always asks into the house to meet Mrs. McKinley. Major Dick of Akron, who is Mr. Hanna’s right-hand man at Chicago, says that the front porch speeches of Major McKinley are in greater demand than any campaign Uterature; that millions of them have been distributed, and millions more are on the press. From reports here, there will be delegations almost every day from now until November. They will come from points 4s far east as Baltimore, and as far west as Denver, Col. an East Wind.

Alexandria was yesterday the scene of one of the boldest highway robberies or se- ries of robberies ever known in this section of the country. Five tough-looking char- acters were seen at the corner of Pitt and Cameron streets by several people examin- ing revolvers and razors. Mr. John Smith was one of thcse who saw the men, and, suspecting that some desperate deed was about to be attempted, he hurried to police headquarters and notified Lieut. Smith and Officer Atkinson, who at once started out to look for the men. In the meantime they had gone to the corner of St. Asaph and Queen streets, where Mr. Robert Gronan, who was in his cellar, saw them through the window hold up @ colored man and re- lieve him of some money. Mr. Gronan started out to find an officer. The men had gone to the corner of Washington and Queen streets, where they met Mr. Joseph Pettit, a clerk for Mr. I. M. Kell, the King street’ commission merchant. One of the men covered Mr. Pettit with his pistol and ordered him to throw up his hands, which he did, while the othcrs searched him. About the only thing they got was the key to Mr. Kell's store. Messrs. Ernest J. Shrieve and Frank Bell, two young men from Del Ray, wer: pass- ing at the time, ard two of the highwa: men turned on them and made them hol up their hands at the points of their re volvers. Bold Work. One of them very quietly explained that one of the party was a convict, and they needed money. Mr. Bell asked the fellow who held him at bay why he didn’t search him. He said: “Oh, no; my business is simply to make you hold up your hands. My friends here will search you.” The man whose pistol covered Mr. Shrieve said to him: “Young man, do you realize how path you are?” At this stage of the game Officer Atkin- son and the Heutenant appeared, and the men started to run. The leutenant cor- nered cne, who turned on him and tried to shoot at him. The licutenant caught the fellow's arm and heh it In the air, and when he tried to grab the pistol with his left hand, dealt him a heavy blow in the face, felling him, Mr. John Smith, who had come to the lieutenant’s same time wrenching the pistol from his grasp. Two of them got away in the excitement, and Officer Atkinson gave chase to the other three. At the corner of Princess and Columbus streets he called to Mr. Wilmer Kemp, who was standing in the door of Smith's drug store, to “head that fellow off.” Mr. Kemp started for one of the men, who turned and snapped his revolver at him twice, but, fortunately, the hammer was too weak to explode the cartridges. ‘the officer then emptied his revolver at the fellow, the last shot taking effect in his left ankle and bringing him to the ground, Ran Him Down. One of the men secreted himself in a house occupied by a colored man in the northwestern section of the city, where he was soon located. Officers Lyles and Fer- guson arrived on the scene and watched the house while the Heutenant and Atkinson searched the place. They found the man on the second floor in a corner with a piece of carpet spread over him and his pistol, with three cartridges in it, lying on a trunk near him. At the station house they gave their names as Jacob Cronin of Richmond, Va., a rrinter by trade, and formerly employed in the government printing office; John Mur- ray, bridve builder, from Pittsburg, and ‘Thomas Sullivan, no occupation, from Fi land. A book inthe pocket of the one who gave his name as Sullivan had written on one page “My name in case of accident, Thomas Linney, Norton Cottage, Walsall Wood, Staffordshire,,. Eugland. Please in- ferm the address telow,” which is the same as that given above, except that the rame given is Josepl Linney, probably the man’s father. Murray claimed this morn- ing that he was from Richmond and not Pittsburg. They were brought before the mayor thls morning, who sent’ them to jail to await the action of the grand jury. The men are hard-looking citizens, their ages ranging from about twenty-five to thirty-five year: Their boldness has ‘breated widespread € citement through this city, and the polic are inclined to think they are regular high- waymen and not ordinary tramps, from their coolness and nerve. The colored man, who was the only one they took money from, could not be found this morning. It is understood that his name {1s Johnson, and the pclice are Jooking for him to use as a witness against the thieves. Cases in the Mayor’s Court. Mayor Thompson disposed of the follow- ing cases this morning: Jemes Webb, colored, was fined $5 for an unprovoked assault on Harrison Diggs. When the officers went to arrest Webb they found him tn a house with a colored wcman named Mattie Sayre, and both of them were locked up. They were fined $5 each for indecent conduct. David Davis, Silas White’ and Charles Gibson, all colored, were charged with keeping unlicensed dogs. Gibson and White ‘vere fined $2.50 each, and Davis was dismissed. Released Under Bond. Joseph Patton of Waterfall, Prince Wil- liam county, who was brought before Com- missioner Fowler yesterday on.a charge of violating the revenue laws in failing to ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS nee, at the | cancel the revenue stamps on whisky bar- rels, was released on bond for his appear- ance et the January term of court. Patton was arrested by Deputy United States Mar- shal J. F. Glover of this city. Notes. Mr. M. B. Harlow and family have re- turned frem Blackiston’s Island. Mr. S. R. Donohue of the Fairfax Herald was in the city yesterday Mr. George B. Cochran and family are at Mertze, Fauquier county, Va. Mr. J. Schneider and family have re- turred from Berkeley Springs. Mr. A. W. Armstrong and family have returned from Berkeley Springs. A large number of Alexandria Masons visited Kemper Lodge, A. F. and A. M., of Falls Church last night. ‘Some of them rode their “bikes” to Falls Church, but the Inajority ef them went in a ’bus. There is a movement on foct among the Bheelmen of this city to form a bieycle ecb.
