THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1896. e — — — —— ——— AGED OHIOANS | VISIT McKINLEY 01d Residents of Cuyahoga County Journey to Canton. In Welcoming Them the Major Makes a Very Happy Address. TALKS TO STREET-CAR MEN Big Delegation Arrives in the Even- From Cumberland, Mi, With Torches and Music. ing CANTON, Osnro, Oct. 14.—Twelve car- loads of gleeful Republicans from Me- Donald, Washington County, Pa., came to Canton on a special train at noon to- day. They marched up to Major McKin- ley’s residence and were the first of the callers this week to be received at his home. When the Pennsylvania people were within 300 feet of the McKinley resi- dence the Barnum Circus parade swung around the corner and proceeded down slarket street, bringing the delegation toa forced halt. Major McKinley, who was on | the porch to receive the delegation, saw | the parade and Mrs. McKinley joined <‘ him. Earlier in the day a committee | representing the circus attaches presented | Major McKinley with a handsome silk flag. The spokesman for the Pennsylvania | delegation was C. A. Whiteshot. He as- | sured Major McKinley that not only were | there many commercial producers among | his visitors, but that the miners, farmers and business men were well represented. Major McKinley responded at some length. e A delegation in which much interest centered, and to which the major made | the most interesting speech of the day,was one which came gquietly without flying banners or beating drums. It wascom- posed of nearly 300 members of the Early Bettlers’ Society of Cleveland and Cuya- hoga County. There were many old peo- ple in the delegation, and there wasa touch of pathos in the spectacle they made when they marched slowly up with their white locks and halting footsteps. Major McKinley’s venerable mother was at her ! son’s residence, and assisted in the recep- tion of the visitors, most of whom were of her day and generation. H.M. Addison introduced the old p-ople to Major Mec- Kinley, and Rev. Lathrop Cooley, chap- lain of the society, supplemented his ad- dress with some remarks. Major McKin- ley spoke as follows: Iam highly honored to receive this call from the old folks of Cuyahoga County and of the city of Cleveland. I am glad to welcome to my home the early settlers of Northern Ohio. | Iwelcome you not as partisans, but as good | men and women who bring me your wise coun- | sel and good.will and your congratulations. | 1 thank you for myself and on behalf of my wife and mother to whom you have so tenderly | referred, and to whom, more than myself, I | am indebted for this generousand agreeable | call. It is & proud pleasure to me to be able | to credit to them whatever good things my | fellow-countrymen ascribe to me. To wife | and mother mankind is indebted for those | Ligh moral qualities—gentleness, truth and | ue—which are so indispensable to good | citizenship and a noble life. Our political | fabric rests upon the sanctity of the American home, where wife and mother preside. They teach the boys and girls purity of hife and | thought and aim the way to usefulness and The world owes them more than it can ever repay. The man who loves mother | snd wife requires 16 bond for his good be- havior and can be safely trusted in every rela- | tion of life. [Great applause.] { Itis gratifying to me to see that the men who have passed through so many political | campaigns, who have fought so many political battles, who have reached their three score years ana ten, give me their confidence and | the strength of their support—no, not I, but | the cause and the principles which I have | been designated to represent in this contest. | “Young men for war and old men for counsel” | was wisely spoken, but I have discovered that | in this political contest the old men get young | 2gain and manifest quite as much animation and vigor as the boys themselves, [Laughter and applause. ] You have doubtlessly participated in many Presidential elections and can witness this year that earnest enthusiasm which you ex- hibited years ago in the forties and the fifties, | and in that mighty erisis of 1860. Do mot forget that the son is like the father, and be charitable to him if he gets t0o enthusiastic and participates in more parades, processions and meetings than you would have him. | Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, returning | from a visit to Europe, was a guest on last Saturday at the Massachusetts Club .in the | city of Boston, He was given s warm, gene- rous and royal welcome, such as he deserved. The Senator had passed the milestone that marked his seventieth year. He said in reply to the greeting, among other thin; “To an old man who counts his three ecore years and ten the chiet satisfaction of life 15 not wealth or power or fame or office. It lsl friendship.” | An English poet and essayist, George Crow- ley, wrote with his own hand, at the age of 80, | an epitaph, which can be found in the Churen of St. Stevens, Walbrook, London. What Sena- tor Hoar seid seemed to him summed up better than could be founda anywhere else the bl ings which this life has to confer. This was | the epitaph: “Thankful to Almighty God for the past blessings of life, health prolonged to old age, a competence, a not inactive mind, & loved and loving wife, kind friends and excellent children.” I trust these blessings have all been vouch- safed to you, esrly settlers of Cuyahoga County. At 3 o'clock several hundred employes of the Cleveland Street Railroad Company called on Major McKinley. . They wore neat uniforms of white and marched ex- ceedingly well. Their spokesman wasa conductor, Thomas Martin. Major Mc- Kinley was applauded when he stepped forward to speak. He told the men he was glad to observe their keen interest in public affairs, and said two questions would be settled by the election this year. First, whether we are to continue the pro- tective policy under which. the country 'was 5o prosperous; secand, whether or not we are to have a sound, stable and honest currency. The last delegation arrived after sunset and came from Cumberland, Md, They mazched up to McKinley's residence with torches and a band, The spokesman, George W. Snyder, referred to the com- posite character of the delegation and to the fact that Major McKinley was sta- tioned in Cumberland during the war. Major McKinley said: I congratulate you upon the splendid vie- tory achieved in your State lastyear. It is a long tume since I addressed a Republican meet~ ing in the city of Cumberland. When I spoke to you then passion and hate characterized the political contest. Fortunately the passion and prejudice which then prevailed has disap- peared, and those who were taen divided are now together fighting the battle of honest money and the public honor. You come from a country distingnished for its rich coal-min- ing, iron, steel, glass and cement products, a railroad center and a city that ought to enjoy great material prosperity. Your State has wrested from the Democratic party its old-time majority and registered a spiendid Republican victory. Igive you hospitable greeting. Let there be & repetition this year of the great vic- tory so decisively and honorably won last year. Give us, men of Allegheny County, in 1896, the same enuse for congratulation, and not only will Maryland have reason to rejoice, but ail the States will immediately or even- tually approve your verdict. The prosperity of the United Siates for a long time to come, and certainly its honor, is involved in the pending campaign. Elim- inating ali minor issues, it is a contest for the preservation of law and order and the inde- pendence, dignity and integrity of the Federal judiciary. What will the answer of Maryland be to that open cballenge? 1tis for the con- tinuance of honest money—gold, silver and paper, all equal to the best and everywhere as good as the best—and the restoration of the “protective tariff system, without which we cannot hope to have either permanent pros- pevity among our people or sufficient revenue | to support the Government. Mrs, McKinley, with a party of friends, occupied a box in the Barnum & Bailey Circus this evening. Major McKinley re- mained at home working on his speeches, Engagements for visiting delegations are still being freely made. Ten mew dele- gations were booked to-day. Among them was the Boston Herald’s pilgrimage of the sound-money men of New England. e FOR THE FINAL RALLIES. Robert T. Lincoln and Colonel Ingersoli Going to Minnesota— Pacific Coast Demonstrations. CHICAGO, IrL., Oct. 14.—Robert T. Lin- coln will leave Chicago next Tuesday and make three speeches in Minnesota for Mc- Kinley by request of the Republican Na- tional Committee. He will speak in St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth between the 20th and 24th. These will be the first speeches of the campaign for Mr. Lincoln, He will also preside at the Coliseum meet- ing which Theodore Roosevelt will ad- dress to-morrow night in this city.

He addressed a meeting in the suburb of Austin to-night, and to-morrow goes to Indiana. He speaks Friday at Bittus and Saturday at Dunkirk. Then the Governor will stump his own State. Arrangements have been made by the Republican National League for State demonstrations to be held in San Fran- cisco, Portland, Or., Omaha and Detroit. Those California clubs which cannot par- ticipate in the Ban Francisco demonstra- tion will have local celebrations on the same day. Similar demonstrations are being arranged by the league in other cities to close the campaign. Tams Bixhy, chairman of the Minnesota Republican executive committee, came to headquarters to secure all the speakers available for his State. He was given In- gersoll to start with and hopes for otbers. He admitted the party has a bard fight to win against the forces of silver. Chairman Hanna said he was greatly pleased at the increased registration and took it _to indicate a big Republican ma- jority in Cook County. Committeeman 1>ayne said it meant that over 300,000 votes would be cast in the county, of which 200,000 would be for McKinley. A party of Cincinnati citizens, headed by Mayor Caldwell, called at headquarters on_their return from Milwaukee. Mayor Caldwell told Mr, Hanna he was surprised to tind so mueh Republican sentiment in Wisconsin, He said Cincinnati would eive 20,000 majority for McKinley and Hamilton County over 30,000. Charles Frohman, the theatrical mana- ger, was a visitor. He said he had been here three days and bad heard three times as much McKinley talk as he had heardin New York, and from the reports he bad received from his companies about the country he was confident of McKinley’s election. e DO GOLD DEMOCRATS PLEA4SED.

Y., Oct. 14,—This was a quiet morning at Republican headquar- ters and there were not half a dozen call- ers. The members of the executive com- mittee regard the fight in New York State as over and look upon McKinley’s elec- tion as sure. The story that Bryan money went begging at odds of 4 to 1 yesterday in the Stock Exchange and that no Mec- Kinley supporters were in sight was not given much credence at headquarters. The odds the Bryan men want are considered exorbitant, ‘Colonel Swords, the Republi- can sergeant-at-arms, is willing to give odds of 2 to 1 to anybody who wants to bet on Bryan. % ‘;l ;vlill also take av;: :mucy on Iilinois, ut all money must eposited here in New York,” Colongl Swords. o Sisluckin g 2hree to Une on MeKinley, 5 NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 14.—E. B. Tal- cott, 8 member of the New York Stock Exchange, offers to bet $10,000 at odds of 3 to 1 that McKinley will be elected. s Treasury Gold Reserve, ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 14. —The treasury gold reserve at the cloge of busi- ness to-day stood at $128,505,853. T 'dgh Witharawals ‘at 'New Fork wery BRYAN TALKS T0° THE WOLVERINES Rides Four Hundred Miles and Makes a Doz:n Speeches. His Remarks Intended for the Benefit of the Mining People. IN A REPUBLICAN STRONGHOLD But the Audiences Were of Good Size and Considerable Enthusiasm Was Displayed. MARQUETTE, Micn.,, Oct. 14.—The lines of a crooked walking-stick with a flange at the end of the crook resemble in shape the route taken by W. J. Bryan to- day in his progress through the upper peninsula of Michigan. His course lay partly along a region interesting in its desolation, past miles and miles of forests laid bare by lnmbermen, by fire and by storm, and through towns and hamlets supported by the iron and coal interests of the section. From the time he left Duluth late last night until he reached Marquette the canaidate traveled 400 miles, and at 10 o'clock he left Marquette for anotber all-night run to Mackinaw City, where his second day of campaigning in the Wol- verine State will begin. Between the com- mencement of his speechmaking in Iron- wood, early in the morning, until he called ha halt on the day's work at Marquette Mr. Bryan made a dozen addresses. He talked principally for the benefit of the mining people. His route lay directly across the mpper peninsula in a direction east by south from Lake Superior to Lake Michigan, touching the borders of Wisconsin; swung around to the northwest, forming the crook of the walking-stick, and then shot off to the east, thus making the flange, touching Lake Superior again at Mar- quette. In the early part of the journey cheers for McKinley were heard at a few of the stopping places, and at one of these Mr. Bryan made reference to the shouts of his opponents. Miners dressed in their soiled working clothes, their caps adorned with lamps and candles, were plentiful along the way. Bpeeches were made at Iron- wood, Bessemer, Watersmeet, Iron River, Florence, Wis.; Iron Mountain, Norway, Powers, Escanaba, Ishpenning, Negaunee and Marquette, and there were stops at a few other smaller places to enable the people gathered at these to see the candi- date and his wife. The region traversed is the strongest in the State in allegiance to the Republican party, and the itinerary provided for a thorough canvass of it by Mr. Bryan. His audiences were of good size and some of them showed considerable enthusiasm. The haif hour spent by Mr. Bryan at Iron Mountain had an additional interest to both candidate and audience from the jact that Marcus A. Hanna has mining interests in the vicinity and is a large shipper of ore from that place. A large number of minersin their working clothes, with candles projecting from their char- acteristic headgear, lined the railroad track as the train drew into the station. Around the stand erected for Mr. Bryan’s accommodation, a few feet from where the train came to a standstill, 1500 people had assembled, and Mr. Bryan was cheered as he ascended the stand with Mrs. Brvan, D. G. Campau, Justin K. Whiting and Timo- thy Tarsney. Mr. Hanna’s association with the little city brought no direct ref- erence from Mr. Bryan. ’ At 2:30 the Bryan special reached Nor- way, a mining town, fifteen minutes’ run from fron Mountain. The Scandinavian type was sufficiently numerous among the five or six hundred men ana women there to indicate bow the place received its name. In a short speech from the rear platform of the train Mr. Bryan made reference fo those who have tried to destroy labor organizations similar to that made at Iron Mountain. The people of Powers, 400 of them, heard the candidate deliver a brief speech. The throng that bad assembled at Escanaba, another of Mr. Hanna’s_ship- | ping Yorls, was so large that the Bryan special was held there twenty-five minutes in order to give the candidate time to make an address, the scheduled stop being a quarter of an hour. Fully 5000 peovle were gathered in an open field near the railway station when the train arrived at 4:15 and they proved to be one of the most enthusiastic audiences of the day. ‘The atmosphere of the morning and afternoon changea from warm to raw, and Mr. Bryan kept his hat on and the collar of his overcoat turned up about his ears during the time he remaimned on the speakers’ stand. In hisspeech he tnld a number of humorous stories and kept the crowd laughing at these and at his refer- ences to the attitude of his opponents. Mr. Bryan spoke at Marquette for an hour to-night to an audience of about 6000 people, assembled in front of therailway depot. James Russell introduced him. Mr. Bryan said that the people might well be interested in this campaign, because in no campaign known to the younger men of this country had such great interest been at stake. Continuing, he said: Our opponents tell us that the success of our cause would mean great danger to this coun- try. We reply to them that twenty years of experience in their cause hes been of incal- culable harm to our conmr{. They tell us that the free coinage of silver will bring trouble; we tell them thht the gold standard has brought trouble. We place the experiences of our people against the prophecies which they make. They tell us that the free coin of silver may not be free from dangers, that it may not be a perfect system. We teil them all we have to do is to offer something better than they have had,and it does not take a very gre-t system better than the one we ave had. [Greltchelflng.a In one sense our campaign is a defensive ore; in another sense it is an aggressive cam- aign. Itis defensive inthat we are defend- g our homes and our firesides from an enemy 2s dangerous as ever attacked the weliare of the people. It isan aggressive warfare in that we demand affirmative legislation; it 1s ag- essive in that we after something and now what we are after and how we are going 10 get it. : Mr. Bryan criticized the Republican party for failing to say what they wanted, and merely opposing everything that was offered. Mr. Bryan also spoke of the fact that contracts were being made payable in gold, and asked where the gold was coming from with whioh to settle these contracts. At 10 o’clock the Bryan special left for Mackinaw City. e FLOWER SPEAKS IN INDIANA, New York's Ex.Governor Pleads for the Defeat of Bryan. ANDERSON, Isp., Oct. 14.—Ex-Gover- nor Flower of New York opened his West- ern canvass with a speech in this city to- night. All of his remarks were directed to financial questions and a plea for Dem- ocrats to ‘‘down Bryan and un-Demo- cratic fdndnlu." Governor Flower will be in Indiana the restof the week and will then go intoother Western States. He will not return until November 1. He places McKinley’s majority in New York at $200,000. He met John P. Irish of Cali- fornia here. Mr. Irish says McKinley will carry California, Oregon, Washing- ton, Iows, Nebraska and Wyoming west of the Mississippi. e e il EX-SENATOR FERRY DEAD. Michigan's Veteran Statesman Is Carried Off by Apoplexy After Ailing Slightly for Several Days. GRAND HAVEN, Mics., Oct. 14.—£x- United States Senator T. W. Ferry died suddenly this morning of a stroke of apoplexy. He had been ailing slightly for several days, but his condition was not considered alarming. He arose as usual this morning and was stricken just after he had finished dressing. Ferry was born in Mackinac, Mich., June 1, 1827. In 1850 he became a mem- ber of the Michigan House of Representa- tivesand of the State Senatein 1856.

After retiring from Con- gress he traveled extensively in Europe and the Holy Land. Eeiais L FRESHMEN WHIP SOPHOMORES. Serious Battle at the University of Wis- consin, in Which Many Students Are Badly Injured. MADISON, Wis,, Oct. 14.—A serious battle occurred to-day between the sopho- more and freshman classes of the State University at the close of the class meet- ing of freshmen at 5 o’clock this evening. As the latter class came out of the gym- nasium, where the meeting was held, they were set upon by the sophomores and a severe struggle ensued. Many were se- verely pounded and had most of their clothes torn from them. Several who had rushed from practice in the gymnasium, clad only in jersey suites, had them com- pletely torn from their bodies, but they kept up the struggle. President Adams and 8 number of professors, besides the upper class students and citizens were witnesses of the affray. The trouble lasted nearly an hour and was only sup- pressed by the arrival of the police, who were telephoned for. Several of the sopho- mores were ducked in Lake Mendota by the victorious freshmen. Rev. A. J. Kempton of the Baptist church, who was a spectator, was caught in the crowa and roughly handied. The affair caused great excitement. LOTH T0 LOSE RUSEGER England’s National Liberal Fed- eration Deplores Its Leader’s Withdrawal. Labouchere Says the Federation Is Extinct as a Factor in the Libera:. Party. LONDON, Exa., Oct. 14.—The executive committe&of the National Liberal Federa- tion met at 2:45 o’clock this afternoon and spent the time up to 6:30 o’clock in dis- cussing the situation. Thecommittee has issued a statement expressing profound regret at Lord Rosebery's withdrawal from the leadership of the Liberal party and making public recognition of his lordship’s signal services as Prime Min- ister and leader under circumstances of unusual difficulty. The committee in its statement recognizes also the fact that Lord Rosebery’s action 1n resigning was due to a desire on his part to promote unity in the Liberal ranks and rejoices now that the party will continue to benefit by the late leader’s character, abiiity and enthusiasm. The 8ocial reform committee has de- cided, in view of the public feeling touch- ing personal questions, not to call a meet- ing of the federation at present. Henry Labouchere, editor of Truth, in an article in that_journal voicing the sen- timents of the Radical members of the House of Commons and the supporters of Sir William Harcourt, writes: *“Nobody caresa brass farthing what the National Liberal Federation may say or do on any subject. The federatior is ex- tinct as a factor in the Liberal party.” RIOTING IN DEMARARA. Police Attacked by a Mob Open Fire With Deadly Effect. KINGSTON, Jamaica, Oct. 14.—A dis- patch received here from.

DETAILS OF THE ENGAGEMENT, The Rebels Surprised and Compelled to Retire Without Carrying Off Their Dead. LONDON, Exe., Oct. 14.—-The corre- spondent in Cuba of a London news agency reports the result of the recent fighting at Cascorro, in the eastern district of Puerto Principe, Cuba, between the Spanish forces, under General Castellanos, and the insurgents, as a decisive victory for the Government troops. Five thou- sand rebels, uader the leadership of Gomez, the correspondent says, were obliged to raise the siege of Cascorro, losing 800 men, killed or wounded. The Spanish loss was fifty-five men. MADRID, Sparx, Oct. 14.—A special to the Imparcial from Havana says another engagement has been fought between the insurgents. and Spanish troops at s- corro, Camaguey, which place wuc& cehtly besieged for thirteen days by the rebels.

HAVANA, Cusa, Oct. 14.—Official re- ports received here state that the Pizarro regiment surprised a party of rebels under Juan Delgado at Céca, in the Havana province, and by a brilliant bayonet charge routed the insurgents completely, com- velling them to retire in such haste that they were unable to carry off their dead. The bodies of twenty-two rebels were left on the field, and mandy of their men were wounded. The Spaniards captured a quantity of medicines and other stores, which the insurgents were forced to leave behind them. The loss of the Govern- ment troops was one captain and eight privates wounded, Further details of the fight between General Castellanos’ command and the rebels are to the effect that after the Des- mayo engagement General Castellanos started on the march to San Miguel. The troops were engaged in several skirmishes with the rebels during the march. On October9 the Spaniards marched into Ellsaga, where General Castellunos ordered a number of barges which were lying at that place to transport the troops to Nue- vitas. The soldiers were embarked upon the harges, which were then taken in tow by the gunboat Golondrina, arriving in Nuevitas the same day. The sick and wounded Spaniards were placed in the hospitals and the troops rested until the 11th, when they took trains for Minas. BANDITS LOOT A TOWN. Terrorize the Residents at an Early Hour in the Morning, Fire Buildings and Make Their Escape. NASHVILLE, Tesw., Oct. 14.—The lit- tle town of Peryear, in Henry County, near the Kentucky border, had a very unpleasant experience early this morning. The residents were aroused from their peaceful slmmbers at 4 o’clock by the noise of firearmsdischarged in the street. Those who hurried out to find out what was the cause of the shooting hurried back again even more quickly, for they found that the town was in the possessson of a gang of robbers, eight in number and all masked. The robbers kept up an almost incessant firing, and whenever one of the citizens showed himself he was ordered to return indoors and not show himself again under pain of death, The desperadoes, after sufficiently in- timidating the citizens with a show of force, proceeded to plunder the stores that took their fancy. They then set fire to several buildings and fled to the country. The citizens at once sallied forth and after subduing the fires, which amounted to but little, a posse of armed and de- termined men gathered and started in pursuit of the robbers. The chase is such a close one that there islittle chance of the robbers getting away. The amount the robbers stole is not yet definitely known. It is believed that they ot away With at least $3000 in money, and n addition to that they took considerable property of other character when they looted the stores. errm————— 4 LEADVILLE MINERS WEAKEN. The Union Makes a Proposition to the Employers, but Compromise Meas- ures Are Declined. LEADVILLE, Coro., Oct. 14.—Governor Mclntyre lett for Leadville to-night. He said before leaving: *A committee from the Miners’ Union asked me if I would confer. I stated I would be glad to, and a little later I received a similar request from the mine managers, and I gave them the same answer. I met both sides, but there is nothing to say relative to the matters discussed.” It is learned late to-night, however, from a reliable source that a proposition {rom the Miners’ Union to deciare off the strike, providing the men were reinstated, Wwas submitted through the Governor to the mine managers and was unquaiifiedly declined. 1 Nine of the managers claim that the only condition on which the miners can go to work is to declare off the strike and epend upon their own good behavior to get back. The pumping proposition is almost ar- ranged, so that the downtown properties will soon start up. The expense is to be divided among the different mines, ac- cording to their ore production. The mine managers will .ave about 200 more miners here early next week. e gt ey FOUL MURDER OF POLICEMEN. Two Officers Shot to Death by Father and Son—A Third Fatally Wounded in Effecting Their Capture. COLUMBUS, Ga., Oct. 14—About 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, J. A. White, a shoemaker, and Henry White, his son, foully murdered two policemen on Thir- teenth street, in this city, and fatally wounded another, on Sixteenth street, shortly afterward. A There was no cause for the commission of the crime other than.the fact that both men had been summoned toappear before the Recorder to-morrow for some trivial offense. By the time the tbird policeman had fallen a crowd of over 500 armed men had reached the scene and the murderer’s house was surrounded. Tom Jackson, Marshal of Girard, and Zeno Pickett, an ex-policeman of this city, volubteered to. run White out of his house. Four other brave men offered to follow them and the crowd charged on the house, firing hundreds of bullets into the win- dows and doors. When the fusillade ceased Jackson and Pickett forced open the door, whereupon White began firing upon them.
