VOTERS RS WADE CANTON Great Day of the Campaign | at the Home of Major McKinley. | Fifty Special Trains Required to Carry Pilgrims to the Shrine of Republicanism. CLIMAX OF WILD ENTHUSIASM All Classes Testify Their Loyalty to the Cause of Pro‘ection and National Honor. CANTON, Osro, Oct. 17.—Major McKin- ley closed the week with anotber day of remarkable campaigning in his own home, Twenty-four thousand vititors came tosee | and hear him. There were more large | delegations than had ever been seen here in a single day. The voters came in brigades and in army corps. It took more than fifiy special trains to transport them and seventy-one bands to furnish marching music. The coming of delegations to Canton doubtless reached | its climax. Greater numbers and more inspiring enthusiasm cannot be expected. For ten hours a swaying and undiminish- ing crowd of people surged about Major McKinley's house. Delegations stood in line for a distance of a mile, and 1t took some of them three and a half hours to reach the stand from which Major McKin- ley spoke. Opposite the McKitley residence on each street the terraces were banked with tiers of people and there hundreds’ of women stood for hours waving their hand- kerchiefs and clapping thei - hands as the delegations came marching ap, and Me- Kinley, with his ringing voice and earnest air, addressed them. At no time during campaign has Major McKinley spoken with more vigor and more spirit than to- day, and at no time has he seemed stronger and better equal to’the task of greeting multitudes. He made twenty speeches in all during the day. Delegations began to arrive at 5:30 this morning, the first-comers being from Pennsylvaniaand Michigan. At8o'clock 300, voters from Monroe County, Michigan, marchied ip Market street to Major Mec- | Kinley’s house and caused him to dis- | vatch his breakiast with haste. They were not kept waiting more than ten min- utes. Their spokesman, D. A. Curtis of Monroe, Mich., made a lively address to Major McKinley and assured-him that his plurality in Michigan would exceed 20,000. | Major McKinley thanked his Michigan | ! mighty cheers. 1 | visitors for their call and urged them to stand firmly for the party of protection and sound money. Major McKinley’s next callers came with drums beating and flags flying at 9 o’clock. There were three delegations in the assemblage that filled the McKinley yard. One was from Altoona, Blair County, Pa., numbering 1400 men; a delegation of 150 miners from South Fork, and another of 150 miners ffom Portage, Cambria County, Pa. W. H, Schwarts of Altoona introduced the Blair County delegation, J. H. Dietrick spoke for the South Fork visitors, and E. P. Hughes, himself a miner, was spokesman for his fellow- workers from Portage. Major -McKinley has seldom faced a more enthusiastic aud- ience than this one. The fourth speech was made at 10:30 to a fine delegation from Grand Rapids and Western Michigan. It was largely com- posed of railway men and men en- gsged in the manufacture of fur- niture. The spokesman, Willis < B. Perkins, told how disastrous to Michi- gan and her industries the partial free trade had been. Major. McKinley, after a few remarks suggested by the address of the spokesman, read a short speech from manuscript. The first great delegation of the day came from . Ashtabula County, Ohio. It was a small army, numbering 2500 men. There were farmers, mechanics, railroad- men and dockmen in the crowd. The dockmen wore their blue working jackets and overalls. More than fifty banners with aporopriate political inscriptions were borne in the Ashtabula County dele- gation. They greeted Mr. McKinley with Congressman F. A. Northway was the spokesman. A large delegation of miuners and farmers from Perry County, Ohio, came within hearing distance just behind the Ashtabula people. 8. W. Pascoe presentéd them to Major McKinley, who addressed the two delegations. Three thousand stalwart workingmen from the shops, mills and mines of Oliver Bros. in Pittsburg and Uniontown, Pa., were the next callers. George T. Oliver introduced them to Major McKinley. Three hundred and fifty employes of the Adams-Bagnal Electric Light Company of Clevelard, who had been patiently waiting behind the stand, were introduced by L. R. Offers. One of the banners borne in this delegation said, “McKinley may look like Napoleon, but Bryan does not look like Wellington.” Major McKinley addressea the delegation briefly. Short speeches became necessary at this point when delegation after delegation was pressing for attention. The Republi- can Club of Hobart, Ind., was brought to Major McKinley by its spokesman, J. 8. Bwanson, and the candidate thanked its members for their call. The pinth speech was made to one of the largest delegations of the day. It was composed of traveling men from Toledo and Columbus, Ohfo. Beveral fine bands ana the Columbus Glee Club were with it. J. Fenemore spoke in behalfof the Colum- bus arrivals and E. E. Dow for the Toledo men, Major McKinley made a ringing response. College yells from 500 students rent the air as the boys from the Onio State Uni- versity and the Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware marched joyously from the station. Following them was a body of elderly people from Westerville, Ohio. each one more than 50 years of age, and a delegation of students from the Ohio Med- | ical University at Columbus. Rev. D W. | Downey spoke for the *“old folks,” H. 8. | Culver for the Delaware students, A. L. | Cope for those from the State University, C. M. Taylor for the medical students and | W. C. Rogers for a very considerable num- ber of voters from Becksville, Ohio, who were incinded in the assemblage. Major McKinley did not have time to make a long speech to this great con- solidated 'delegation, but ‘his remarks were received with great enthusiasm, The scene about Major McKiniey's bouse at 3:30 in the afternoon cannot be adequately described. The broad street on which the house faces was packed with men four and often eight abreast for a dis- tance of three-quarters of a mile and in several side streets delegations were stand- ing waiting their turn to be received. The next invading army was from Ken- | tucky. It was 4000 strong, and the spokes- man, Lieutenant-Governor Worthington, told Major McKinley to expect a big plu- rality from his State. Major McKiniey has seldom had more enthusiastic vis- itors. With the Kentucky delegation were 2000 employes of the Louisville and Nashville road. They were mtroduced by F. N. Burgess and Major McKinley ad- dressed some remarks to them. “We have 3000 voters in our delegation,’’ was the proud statement made by State Senator Stuart Reed of Clarksbarg, W.Va., when the men from his State came swing- ing up the street. Mr. Reed made a short address and was followed by V. T. Cramp, who spoke eloquently on behalf of the colored voters of West Virginia. After waiting for five minutes for the applause and cheering to subside, Major McKinley responded. The railway delegation, which came next, was a large one. There were 4000 men in line. One thousand came from the Lake Shore shops in Jackson, Micl., 1000 from the carshops and yards in Cleve- land and 1000 from the Pennsyivania shops in Columbus. The Michigan men were introduced by Colonel J. E. Terrell, the Erie men by Willard Kells, the Co- lumbus men by C. C. Corner. A ladies’ club from Cuyahoga Falls and arailway men’s club from the same place were next in line. The women were cor- dially cheered, and Major McKinley made them a short but spirited speech. ‘The same speech was also addressed to the em- ployes of the Walker Manufacturing Com- pany of Cleveland. A delegation of 3000 wage-earners ar- rived from Baltimore, Md., at 3 o’clock. It took them just two hours and a quarter to get near enough to Major McKinley to hear his voice. It was an imposing dele- gation. It was 6 o’clock when Major Mec- Kinley stood up to address his Baltimore visitors. . Passing closely upon the heels of the Baltimore delegation was the Twellth Ward Republican Club of Cleveland, 800 strong. James H. Hoyt was its spokes- man, and Major McKinley’s greeting was cordial, though brief. Snow Falls in Chicago. OHICAGO, IrL., Oct. 17.—It is snowing hard here this morning.

Spanish Soldiers Already Show the White Feather in Their Tactics. AN FXPELLED EPITOR'S VIEWS Says the Forces of the Oppressors Will Be Driven From the Con- tinent of South America. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 17.—Benor Manuel J. Moran, who was deposed by Cuba’s capt&in-general, Weyler, from the editorship of La Discusion of Havana be- cause of his alleged too free treatment of events in Cuba, arrived yesterday on the steamer Ciudad Conda. In an interview with a reporter of the United Associated Presses he said: “If the plans of General Gomez have not miscarried an advance guard of 1500 patriots is to-day crossing from the province of Santa Clara into the province of Matanzas and, with the main body, to follow in a few days, will strike what is expected to be the decisive blow in the campaign. ““With Maceo in the east awaiting this movement,” said Senor Moran, “and Gomez pressing forward, the Spanish forces will be sandwiched. It will be the greatest and 1n probability the tinal stroke for freedom. . ‘‘Not until this struggle is ended,” he continued, “anda the people of Cuba attain their independence will the world know how the truth has been systematically suppressed. Under existing circumstances it is impossible to send out the truth con- cerning any victory or advantage gained by the insurgents, so strict is the censor- ship. Should the editorof a newspaper publish any news distasteful to the cap- tain-general he (the editor) is called upon to disclose the source of his information. Refusal means imprisonment. Betrayal of the authorof the. information means the death of that person. “There are fewer executions than there were two months ago. Within the last three weeks Weyler was notified by Pre- mier Canovas not to kill so many, as it was attracting too much attention. What- ever executions now take place are in | secret. The Spanish commanders under Weyler are beginning to show . the white feather. It may seem incredible to an American military man, but I state the simple truth when [ say that the royal troops in the province of Havana are never moved in bodies of less than a thousand. They are afraid to venture out’| with & smaller number. It will be equally surprising when I state that General Wey- ler, who professes to be as able a tactician as he is a butcher, now proposes as his coup de grace to surround the impregnable heights held by Maceo and wait for the Cuban general 10 come down. “The patriot army is better equipped at present than it has been at any time, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. No one knows better than Weyler that Maceo cannot be dislodged rom his po- sition in Pinar del Rio. Nevertheless the captain-general is actvally in earnest in his crazy plan to besiege him. The ad- vance guard of Gomez, I have no doubt, 18 at this moment in the province of Santa Clara, or on its border, and the most im- portant engagement in the revolution cannot be far off. “The Spaniards must meet them, and when they meet —'’ and Moran’s dark eyes lighted up—*'it will be the Waterloo of the Spanish army on the continent of South America.” el Bt el MAEARCH ORDELED BY OLNEYX.

Rhett, a Former Friend. NATCHEZ, Miss.,, Oct. 17.—Dr. Alfred Holt of Hayes, Miss., shot and instantly killed Dr. P. 8. Rhett of Jonesville, La., in the rotunda of the Natchez Hotel this morning. Holt was arrested, but subse- quently released on $10,000 bail. Both Holt and Rhett were known throughout the South as physicians of great ability and each had a large prac- tice. The tragedy was the result of an old grudge. They were formerly friends, but disagreed over some trifling affair, it is said. Holt approached Rhett as he was standing near the newscounter talking to a friend. Drawing a revolver and taking caretul aim Holt fired, the bullet striking his victim in_the breast. Two more shots followed rapidly and Rhett fell, receiving a tourth bullet as he lay on the floor. There was great excitement among the guests, who rushed from the biiliard and reading rooms. Holt made no effort to escape, but surrendered himself to a policeman. 5 A e E Ubtained Passes by Fraud. " KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct. 17.—G. D.

Granted Pardon by the Kaiser for Slaying a Man in a Duel Years Ago. IN EXILE FOR A HALF-CENTURY Laden With Years He Returns to the Fatherland the Heir to Many Millions. PORTLAND, Om., Oct. 17.—Frederick von Reiustein a man bearing his three score and ten years as if they were but fifty, came to Portland from the Cascade Locks last evening, where he had been en- gaged at manual labor for the past six months. He is en route to Munich, Bavaria, to take possession of a great estate and the title of Graf, or count, both of which are his by inheritance. He de- parted to-night by the Northern Pacific for New York, where correspondence awaits him at the German Consulate Gen- eral. Mr. von Reinstein’s history is one long romance. He belongs to a collateral branch ot the powerful Matternich fam- ily, and he claims tc be the only member of his family ever baving engaged in any vocation outside of politics and Statecraft. In 1843 be graduated from the university at Heidelberg, after which he was gazetted as a sub-lieutenant in the Bavarian army. Soon thereafter he wedded a burgher's daughter, whom he learned to know and love in the University city. She had no dot and her people were obscure, which circumstance in & measure estranged him from his own family. Besides that, his fellow officers of noble birth refused to al- low their wives to recognize Reinstein’s wife on an equal social footing. This rankled in the young officer’s breast, and two years later he fought a duel on that score, killing his adversary. “‘My antagonist,” said Von Reinstein, “‘belonged to a very influential aristocratic family in Munich, and as my so-called mesalliance had already placed me on the blacklist of my set, I had no alternative but to quit my native land. It was a case of life or death with me, and preferring the former, a week later found me on an American-bound sailing vessel, accom- panied by my ostracized wife.
