The Laxt Specch of the Campaign by the Republican Candidate. Last night it seemed as if the whole city ef Canton, Ohio, was gathered about the home of Major McKinley. 1 cessions paraded the streets with bands of music, and women and children were. on the sidewalks cheering the marchers. During the evening Gov. McKinley sat 1 his library, receiving many of his fellow- townsmen. One of these was a venerable, white-haired friend of long standing, who gave voice to his enthusiasm by congratu- lating the governor on his eiection. The greeting was smiiingly received, but the governor answered that the contest was not yet over, and that it would be well to wait until tomorrow night before. offering congratulations. It was 1 o'clock before the long line of marchers reached the McKinley cottage, where crowds had stood throughout the evening awaiting the governor's final speech of the campaign. As the marchers formed in front of the McKinley house there were shouts for the governor from the ranks of the torchbearers, and from the thousands who filled the streets and walks and overflowed to the lawns and up to the porch. Gov. McKinley was greeted with cheers as he appeared and said: “My Fellow-citizers: I appreciate very greatly this call of my neighbors and fel- low-townsmen at this, the closing hours of one of the most memorable and important campaigns in American history. The hour for discussion has passed by; the argu- ment is closed. The vast interests of the Americen people are now in the hands of the people themselves for proper settlement and determination, ard there is no safer jury in the world to sft upon American in- terests and American honor than the American people themselves. But you must remember, my fellow-townsmen, that the battle {s not won until the ballots are in. The great jury of the American people can be confidently trusted to establish by its verdict that the credit of the country is to continue unimpeached, its currency unques- tioned, its honor unstained and the glorious republic undimmed. I thank you a thou- sand times for the courtesies and kindness you have shown me in the past three months, and bid you all good night.” (Great applause). McKINLEY + o+—____ William F.

Oakland, Cal., was in gala attire yester- aay, and the republicans were in high feather, for, with the Reed meeting yester- day afternoon, and a monster parade last evening, the cause of gold is thought to have been strengthened. Yellow was every- where. Merchants draped their windows with yellow silk, and many of the private homes were gaily decorated. Flags were flying from the housetops, and pictures of McKinley, draped in yellow, hung at the windows. It is estimated there were 15,000 persons at the race track before the speak- ing began. The greeting accorded the man from Maine on entering the race track was the most demonstrative ever witnessed at @akland. Ause.) ident © to crive nd, see Political Meetings at Lexington, Va. . Senator Daniel spoke before a large crowd at Lexington, Va., yesterday, it be- ing county court day. The Stonewall Bri- gade Band led a procession, followed by , the speaker in a carriage, drawn by sixteen white ‘horses and followed by a donkey labeled “Sample Goldbug."” The Senator said he was confident of the success of Bryan. 2 The sound money democrats were ad- dressed by Major Hunter of Richmond and Cel. James Edmondson of Lexington. The republicans were addressed by Jacob Yost, republican nominee for the district. It is predicted by some that the county will give the republican ticket nearly 3U0 majority. —— Object to Students Voting. On the ground that student influence on local politics has had a bad effect at Past elections, the citizens of Vermillion, S. D., where the state university is located, have served notice that students will not be al- lewed to vete there November 3. The faculty has advised them to return home election day, but many are resolved to cast their tallots at Vermillion and a clash at the polls is not unlikely. Seeegee: Bound to Be in’ Time. Capt.

Constructing a new table, taking the strength of claims into account and basing a statement of proba- bilities on them, the following results: Chances and Clatms Favor McKinley.

These figures are given, not as predic- tions, but only as indicating the chances as viewed by politicians. It 1s this belief that chances favo- McKinley in the states named that has induced betting men to place odds oa McKinley. —— Makes Serious Cirges. Alvirta Perdue today petitioned for di- vcrce from Morris M. Perdue, to whom she was married in Tenleytown, *. C., May 27, 1800, She charges her husband with ex- treme cruelty, and she says that his first wife obtained a divorce from him on that grourd. She also charges him with falling to provide for her, with habitual drunken- ness, and with being addicted to the use of morphine. Finally, she charges him with deserting and abandoning her and their child September 15, 1894. She asks that she be awarded the custody and guardianship oft the child, and that her husband be en- joined from in any way interfering with her custody of it, and from in any way dis- turbing her. Mrs. Perdue is represented by Attorneys Richards & Bailey. ————— On a second trial by jury this afternoon, AI. Nelson, colored, was declared guilty by a jury of assaulting Policeman Stewart, also colored, several weeks ago. Judge Miller imposed a fine of $20 or thirty days. These are some of my reasons: After looking the ficld over—a field with which I am well acquainted, and of which, coming 2s Ido fresh upon it after quite an absence, I can perhaps judge even better than those who have been in the fight from the first—I feel greatly relieved. I feel as if Kansas were at last coming to her sens and determined to vindicate herself. A few years ago she was the pet of the nation, but for the last decade she has been masquerading in every grotesque character that fanaticism could suggest. I, like other “formerly of Kansas” people, have grown exceedingly tired of being eternally on the defensive in the state’s behalf; of having to apologize for Kansas at all times and under all circumstance and of having Jerry Simpson and Mary Ellen Lease men- tioned with a smile every time the state is referred to. Kansas has less illiteracy than any state in the Union, except one. Its institutions are in the very foremost rank. It has sent its illustrious men into the front ranks of all the professions, who have become an honor to the whole country. Its people are energetic and progressive, and there is no good reason why they should longer be called upon te “rise and explain” on every occasion how it came that the hirsute, the sockless and the sans culotte got posses- sion of the state and held it so long. ey THE PARKING CASES. Chief Points in the Decision of the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals yesterday after- noon affirmed the jvdgn.ent of the court below in the cases of the District against Frank Libbey, Benjamin Miller, Francis A. Belt and William Dyer, lumber dealer: who were prosecuted in the Police Court under the municipal ordinance of Novem- ber 22, 1862, for using public spaces (par! ing adjoining their property) for private purposes. The cases were carried from the Police Court to the District Supreme Court by writ of certiorari, the latter court giving judgment against’ the District, whereupon the District appealed to the Court of Ap- peals. In disposing of the cases the latter court, in an opinion written by Mr. Justice Morris, holds that as the Police Court has concurrent jurisdiction In the matter with the District Supreme Court, no writ of certrorari should have been granted. ‘Ihe appellate court also calls attention to the fact that in the absence of specific statute the District has no right of appeal in a criminal case. Finally, the court holds that as Congrees had fully legislated on the subject by the organization of the park- ing commission, it was withdrawn from municipal ccntrol, and the corporation was without avthority to enact the ordinance of 1862, so far as the ordinance applied to streets and avenues improved in whole or in part by the United States. Se Ventilating the Senate. The work of putting a new ventilating system in the Senate chamber is now prac- tically completed.

The of the disaster is a few feet from the northern approach to the bridge over the Brandy wine river at a point where the city is con- structing a huge sewer. The pit is sixteen fect deep, twenty-five feet wide and thirty feet long. It was sur- rounded by a light fence, and there is not more than ten feet of roadbed between it scene and the sidewalk. The accident occurred during an alarm of fire, to which the Phoenix and other fire companies were responding. ‘The Phoenix hose wagon, which was a few feet in ad- vance of the Phoenix engine, struck the fence and knocked it down, but the wage aped tumbling into the pit.
