The First Voters’ Club of Canton, headed by a band, marched to the lawn unannounced, and when Major McKinley appeared upon the porch greeted him with three rousing cheers. Then Attorney Thomas F. Tarner made an introductory address, to which Major McKinley responded as follows: “I am very glad, young gentlemen of Canton, to mzet you at my home tonight, and I congratulate you upon having en- rolled yourselves on the side of the repub- lican party. No party ever had a grander history; no party ever did more for man- kind, for liberty, for equality and for the progress and glory of the country than the party in whose cause you have enlisted. “No party appeals more to the intelli- gence and pride and patriotism of young men than ours. I appreciate thts call. The young men are always an inspiration to me. They are the hope of the community, the state and the nation. (Applause.) In a little while there will rest upon them the duties and responsibilities which are now borne by those who are older. I love to have the young men about me, and I can do no better than to say to each of you tonight, those of you who have your careers yet to make and your fortunes yet to build, and your places yet to win—I can do no better than to say to you that there is nothing in the world that will help you so weil good character, clean in morals and life.

The speaker here referred to Senator Daniel, and scored him for being a party to the Chicago platform, when he had, in the Senate, fathered a resolution indorsing President Cleveland for sending troops te Chicago. He held that the upholding of the Constitution and law was the most im- portant of all duties of citizens. He argued that the Chicago platform meant to change the Supreme Court body so as to accom- plish the ends of anarchy.

A BIG BLANKET BALLOT SHEET It Will Undoubtedly Tend Greatly to Confuse Voters. MAY BE A LEGAL CONTEST ——— Correspondence of The Evening Star. CINCINNATI, Ohio, October 4, 1896. There is some anxiety among Ohio demo- erats to know what position Senator Brice intends to assume in this campaign. He is coming to Ohio next week and there is expectation that he will declare himselt and the national democracy hopes to have him on that side. Before the Ohio state convention the Senator was openly and aggressively on the side of sound money and made a strong fight in the convention, but after John R. McLean captured the Ohlo machine the Senator has been silent. It is said that he has up to this time re- mained silent because of consideration for certain political friends in the 1orthern part of the state, who were with him in the fight in the state convention, but who have since the Chicago convention come out for free silver, having been led to do so soon after the nomination of Bryan, not then having any idea that there would be a gold democratic candidate in the field. Since the Indianapolis cenv. nomination of Palmer and Buc have so shaped themselves in Ohio that it is thought Senator Brice cannot much longer defer taking a stand with one fac- tion or the other. He is so pronounced a gold man that the managers of the na- tional democracy expect him to be with them; while the Bryanites express no such hope. A Democratic Conference. The state committee of the national de- mocracy has appealed to the Democratic Sound Money League 0: Ohio for co-opera- tien tn Is if of the candidacy of Palmer uckner. It had been planned to have work independently of the com- mittee, and on s that is, to use all effort tn behalf of a sound mon. vi y in Onio, without much re- ga r the democratic vote was tur Tor McKinley. But there bas been a conference, and as far as the rk is to be do: half of Palmer. The national democ- ‘y had not found mon sy, pyle the Democratic Sound Money League has plen- ty of it. Under the agreement the ieague will issue a sound money address and dis- tribute it, and will co-operate with the committee of the national democracy tn all the work of the campaign, including the providing of and expenditure of fund: It is expected part of these funds will me from Senator Brice, even though he hould decide to continue hfs attitude of silent neutrality. There is a rumor, ema- nating from republican headquarters, that Senator Brice may be expected to declare for McKinley rather than for Bryan, and that if he does come out fer Palmer he may he expected to say something that will give his friends to understand that he prefers they should not waste their powder in the fight against free sliver. If he comes out unconditionally there is reason to believe some of his hasty friends in the northern part of the state will renounce their allegiance to Bryan. Hopeful of Electing Nevin. The republicans are more hopeful every day of electing Col. Bob Nevin in the third congressional district. Mr. Brenner has been practically abandoned to his fate, as far as the third district bosses of the past are concerned. Congressman Sorg has not returned from Europe, and has not sent any word of encouragement. Peter Schwab, Miles Lindley, Ed. Hughes and Governor ampbell are do!ng nothing. There is ‘actically no campaign fund, and a dig bit for printing free silver campaign Ht- erature has been run up at the office of the Hamilton Democrat, a paper lately put in charge of a free silver republican from Missouri. Ed. Hughes was asked the other day what he and his people were doing to- d electing Brenner to Congress and otherwise securing a free silver victory in the third district. “Oh, nothing,” he an- swered, “but we will vote in November. Like Hill, we are all democrats.” ‘There 1S a story that Governor Campbell said if the ‘democratic state committee in- sulted the decency of the party by placing x cepa upon the electoral ticket he would vote for MeKiniey and the whole republican ticket. ‘fhe democratic electoral ticket has been made up, and there are six populists on it. A democrat is authority for the report, but there is no confirmation of it. Besides, since the ex-governor is reported to have made the threat, Palmer has been nominated and Cleveland, wno is Campbell's political weather ane, has taken that horn of the dilemma. Commercial McKinley Clab. The sourd money men of Cincinnati hav- irg organized the Commercial McKinley Club, as stated in a previous letter, nad a mass meeting Thursday to ratify the per- manent organization. The president is Gen. Michael Ryan, at present assistant United States treasurer at this point, a democrat of the cid school and a most fearless man when he belleves he is right. One of the vice presidents is Edward Cols:on, the old law partner of George Hoadley and a southern democrat, who was in the con- federate army. Both these men made ad- dresses and vehemently denounced Bryan and the Chicago platform as anarchistic, dishonest and disloyal. Half the officers and more than half the members are dem- ocrats, yet they have signed to do what they can to insure a sound money victory in November and secure the election of McKi Gen. Ryan said in his address that it would be the first time In his Hfe of sixty years that he had given any sup- port or encouragement to a republican ticket or candidate, but he felt that what the country needed was to see the hun- dreds of thousands of unemployed at work, and that the result of the election in No- vemter should insure their being pald for their labor in horest money. A Big Ballot Sheet. The official ballot which will be voted in Ohio this fall will be the largest ever given ont te voters under the Australian system, which is famous fur blanket sheet ballots. ‘The ballot will be as wide as seven col- umns of The Evening Star and about two inches Icnger. There will be seven tickets printed on it and in some counties will contain rearly two hundred names. These tickets are republican, democratic, nation- alist, prohibition, national democrat, so- cialist, labor and populist. Six of these tickets will have presidential electors. U: der the Dana law, which prohibits any man having his name twice on the same baHot, the Bryan and Watson combination is ruled off the ticket, but if Watson sticks to the ship his name will appear. That is the poptlist ticket will read, President —; Vice President, Thos. E. Watson. There will be no electoral ticket. Then will fol- jow populist county nominees for Con- &ress.and judiciary, where such nomina- tions have been made. In the twelfth dis- trict the attempt to fuse the democrats and populists failed and the latter chose James F. Barr for elector. But the demo- crats intend to bring injunction proceed- ings to oust him, claiming he does not rep- resent anybody or anything, but was nom- inated by a rump convention. ‘The national democrats and the nation- alists filed their petitions Saturday morn- ing, October 3, the last day allowed them urder the law. They being new parties in Onlo and never having made any show of strergth at the polls, the law requires them to file a petition of signatures repre- senting one per cent of the total vote of the state. This is to put some sort of lim- itation on independent tickets. The num- ber of signatures required was 8060. The national democrats showed up with 15,000 sigratures, and the nationalists with 9,074. The social laber party, also a new one, some days ago filed a petition with 9,075 names. The democrats said the national demo- crats would not be able to secure 5,000 sig- natures in the whole state. They secured three times that many, and in every coun- ty thelr representatives said they could have doubled thetr lsts without trouble had It been necessary. May Be a Subject of Contest. There is a probabiitydthat this enormous official sheet will be the subject of a con- test In the supreme court. In addition to the suit to oust Barr Jn. the twelfth dis- trict, there are threats of a suit to test the constitutionality of the Dana law, which shuts the Bryan-Watsgn electoral fusion off the ballot under the head of populists. The republicans, however, have taken coursel of tae best constitutional lawyers of the state, also through the national com- mittee, and they have yg, fear of the demo- crats winning such a, fight should they make it. The question” was also passed upon by the attorney general before the secretary of state made his decision against the ropulists. The effect will be the loss of thousands of votes for Bryan, because the complication between the democratic and poptlist tickets wif! be so confusing to the average free silverite that he won't know how to mark his allot. There is another question which the re- peblicans are threatening to raise against the democrats. In this’ state the demo- cratic device on the Australian ballot offi- clally established is the rooster. The question is can a ticket made up through fusion of men admittedly of two pclitical parties go on the Ueket under one devi when the populists have a device of their own? Of course under the Dana anti-fusion act this ticket cannot be printed in both the demecratic 2nd populist columns, but can it be prinied at all as one tick«t, and is it not possible that the democratic part of it should appear under the rooster and the other part under the populist devs ‘The republicans have put the matter into legal hands, and if their report is against the fusion ticket appearing in toto under the rooster, application will be made to tary of State Taylor to split it and its respective parts under their party ut heads. This would stiil further embarrass voters who propose to support the jon ticket. They could not vote straight would have to go through tne s formality of putting a cross before stors under both the heads. The lity of mistakes resulting that would te the whole lot is at once ap- y he that the very iaw ‘ats and popul:sts utter undoing in Ohio.

He was in- troduced to the audience from the rear platform of the train by Senator Harris. Camden was reached at 5:2), and the scene was but a repetition of those before. Mr. Bryan spoke but a minute before the train pulled out. The train rolled into the Nashville station at S:t5, The town was wild. Red fire and Roman candles filled the air, and the streets were almost impassable. Carriages were in waiting for the party, and Mr. Bryan was promptly driven to the Haymarket, where he delivered his first speech. ‘The greatest crowd that ever turned out to a litical meeting in the history of Nashville crowded about the streets to there last night, shouted and yelled, cheer- ed and applauded, and listened with mark- ed attention to the triple nominee. ‘The five acres of ground in the inclosure were half filled with people, who cheered the candidate wildly cn his appearance. A giee club of thirty male voices opened the meeting with “Home, Sweet Home,” the oli-fashioned melody, which the nominee has declared to be his campaign song. The candidate was then introduced by Senator Bate as the next President of the United States. He was cheered ‘and applauded throughout his speech, and many times is stopped by the enthusiasm of his listeners. After concluding his ‘Ha¥market spe2ch, Mr. Bryen was taken to the Athletic Park, where he made a ten-minute address, giv- ing his explanation of the fifty-cent doliar, and at the end he appealed to his auditors to study the money question and to vote as they saw fit. ‘At the populist meeting which Mr. Bryan addressed after his spéeches at the Hay- market and Athletic Park, he expressed his appreciation of the honor done him by the populist party, and also his sratifica- ticn that the democrats and populists had been able to unite upor an electoral ticket in so many of the states.’ He said that while he would take no part in local aftaizs, he did feel justified in urging those who be- lieve in free coinage to concentrate Their votes in such a way as to defeat the com- mon enemy. Where fusion {saccomplished, the fusion ticket deserves the support of ali the friends of silver. He said that if fusion was not arranged in Tennessee, he hoped the populists would cast their vote for the democratic electors, and thus make their election certain, as to vote for the vopulist electors who had no hope of election would be an aid to the republicans. Mr. Bryan left Nashville at midnight on the Loutsville and Nashville for Louisville.

GEORGIA’S ELECTION All Signs Point to a Democratic Vic- tory Tomorrow. THE NEGRO VOTE WILL SETTLE If Governor Atkinson Has Been En- deavoring to Secure This. JUDGE CRISP’S ILLN a ESS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ATLANTA, October 6.—Tomorrow the state elect.on will be held, and all signs point to a democratic majority of about 25,000. Governor Atkinson ex- pects to be re-elected by 40,000 majority, or twice his majority of two years ago. The populists have little hope of winning, but they claim that they will get more than half the white votes. They are probably right in this. Chairman John Cun- ningham of the state populist party said today that the negro yote would decide the result, and he was afraid that the demo- crats would get the most of it. Governor Atkinson has taken a great interest in the negro. ‘The populists sz ly for political effect. spent what little m speakers and workers. Buck of the republican party issued a cir- cular letter to the republicans, instru them to vote the populist ticket. This came rather too late to have full effect in the re- mote ounties. Some of the ro orators publicly rebelled at the instructions, but they quietly informed Buck that | they would draw off. To Disfranchise The negro holds the balance of power in this state, and the manner in which his vote has been solicited this year by the democrats has caused great defections and the most rabid criticisms.

HANNA SAYS. Did Not Write a Letter Bryan's Election. Chairman Hanna was asked at republican headquarters in New York yesterday if there was any truth in the report that he had written a letter to an intimate friend in which he conceded the election of Mr. Bryan because republicans were unable to control the labor vote. Mr. Hanna smiled and replied: “The report is absurd on the face of it. I have not written such a letter, nor have I at any time said anything capable of such construction. I have too much con- fidenee in the intelligence and intesrity of the American wage-earner to believe that he will vote for a policy or support a can- didate on a platform which means repudia- tion and a 53-cent dollar. I have never conceded the election of Mr. Bryan and I certainly cannot concede it now, when the tide is flowing so strongly and unmis- takably in the direction of republican “sue- cess. “I am confident that the men who work, whether for salary or by the day, will be with the republican party in this campaign for honesty and a sound 100-cent dollar. Any other interpretation of the attitude cf the wage-earners would be an insult to thelr patriotism and their intelligence, for they have more at stake in this issue than any other class of men. I don't propose to discuss our plan of campaign, but I will say that all our reports Indicate that a great majority of the votes of the work- Ingmen will be with us in this campaign, “The silver craze may be likened to an epidemic. Its acute stage was reached a few weeks ayo after Mr. Bryan's nomina- tion. Like every other malady, it yields to careful and intelligent treatment.” Conceding FOR SOUND MONEY. ‘The Movement Said to Be Spreading in Florida. Correspendenee of The Evening Ster.
