When the poys marched up they waved their handkerchiefs, and the lads shouted: rah, hurrah, McKinley is the man; n’t vote, but daddy can.” The air was d with the music of the fresh yvoung ces. The boys cheered lustily for sev- minates, and .then three small koys unted the stand and told Major Mc- that all the boys were for bim, and the mamn regret of their lives that were not old enough to vote. It was n the children, after listening to McKinléey’s pleasing, fatherly talk,marched away behind their bands and corps. ne first delegation to-day was the origi- nal McKinley Colored Republican Ciub of Cleveland. It was the fifth original Mec- Kirley- club that has visited Canton. There were 530 voters in the party. J. E.

Théy accept American citi- zenship as it came frotn the pen of the great liberator and greatest American citizen—that -.all men are created equal with one another and with inalienable rights; thatno man is better than another before the law, but all are equal. This is American opportunity unaer American Jiberty. So it is that the colored men of this country, this generation which hasgone to our s¢hools and received Ameri. :.can education and is enjoying American op. porttinities, are all for McKiniey, prosperity . and Mberty. Three cheers were given for Mr. Depew. A few moments aiter Mr. Depew finished speaking a delegation of college. students frond various partsof the country marched into the McKinley yard. They were fuil of enthusiasm and rent the air with their college yells. W. F. Wolfe, editor of the Coliege Republican, spoke in behalf of the Harvard men in the delegation, and Ed- ward Henning ior the ' college league clubs, Responding to these addresses Major McKinley made-the principal speech of the day. He said: I am glad to b2 assured by your spokesman . that in the contest of this year, in which the Nation’s onor and integrity are involved, the college men, not only of the East, but of the West, teachers and pupils alike, are with us, in heart and purpose.” I know, young gentle- men, you are earnest Republicans and appre- cinte most highly your support of the Rcpub- to complain and the t or a socialist it is the one generation since to be & free men, but li¢an cause. 1f you were not Republicans from convie- tion, however, and were guided alone by en- thusiastic ardor, I would say.to you, in the words of Webster, *‘Study the Constitution of the Unlted States thoroughly; conmtrast its texchings with the doctrines of the political varties of the day and vote with the oné you then believe wilt do the most for ,your coun- " {qhe Republican party can well afford to nbmit to that test.

RN MILES' REPLY 70 ALTGELD. United States Troops Were Held in Jeadiness for Coxeyites. WASHINGTON, D: C., Oct. 30.—In re- ply to argnments in Governor Alteeld’s speech in Cooper Union, New York, October 27, in relation to the Debs riots in Chicago, where he said that the United States troops were ordered to be in readi- ness five days in advance of any tronble with a view to force employes to work for their employers, a statement is made with the approval of General Miles, who com- manded the United States forces on the occasion in question and with his indorse- ment of its accuracy as foliows: The hordes or so-called armies of Coxey were organized in Kansas, California, Oregon and ates and formed across the country, in es seizing trains ‘or their transporta- tion and living upon the people of towns, vil- lages and communities in their route. Fol- lowing this the employes of the Northern Pa- cific struck and practically held possession of the road when itwas not earning running expenses. The same thing was done on the Grea: Northern, the strikers holding posses- sion of the property for weeks regardless of the law or the rightsof the property-owners. s s occurred in nearly all the mines be- tw2en the Alleghenies and the Rocky Moun- tains. In many instances the property was seized nnd uniawfiully held regardiess of the civil authorities. Following this, in May, 1894, &' strike was ordered in the Pullman works in Chicago, and when that business was paralyzed a sym- | pathetic strike was ordered on all the rail- roads over which the Pullman cars moved. This was in June, #nd according to Governor Altgeld’s own statement in his Cooper Unton speech all freight trains in certain parts of Illinois were abandoned by the employes and prohibited from moying by the strikers. Trains were ordered sidetracked by the hun- dreds and the passengers were practically held prisoners for weeks. The interstate commerce of the entire coun- try west of Chicego was suspended by the end of June. A few mail traius were allowed to run, but in many instances every window was smashed. In some instances the operators were brutally treated. This was the condition of affairs on the last of June. Under the laws of Congress it was the duty of the President to protéct the inter- state commerce, the mail route, the sub-Trel ury &t Chiego, containing §20,000,000 of Gov. ernment money and other U ited States prop- erty. When the mail and interstate commerce lines were obstructed and paralyzed, it be- came the duty of the United States courtto take action, which it did, although the lives of the United States Marshals were threatened and they were unabie to carry out the lawful orders of the court. It was then and not until then, that President Cleveland ordered Fed- eral troops to protect United States Marshals in the iawful execution of their dutes and also to protect property under the jurisdiction of the United States authorities. At the same time the leaders publicly de- c'ared that “‘It was no longer a strike, but & rebeliion.”” When the United States Marshals under protection of the Federal troops had opened the'lines of interstate-commerce and mail routes and protection had been obtained for the property under the jurisdiction of the United States the troops were removed to their former stations July 18. Hence they were in Chicago only fifteen days and did not in any way interfere with the municipal or The strike, however, was demonstrated clearly that the Federal authori- ties had nothing whatever to do with the so- called strike. =Neither had they anything whatever to do with the questions between capital and labor. General Porter’s address to the Union Veterans’ Patriotic League. NEW YORK, N. Y. Oct. 30.—The Union Veterans' Patriotic League closed its campaign work to-night by a great meeting at Carnegie Hall. One of the features of the meeting was a portrait of furnished by his son, Colonel Fred D. Grant, and which was unveiled at an interesting moment. General Horatio Porter presided at the meeting. There was great cheering as the veterans appeared on the platform. Gen- eral Porter said: “As these men went to the front in 1861 to save the Nation's life, they are going to the polls next Tuesday to help to. save the Nation’s honor. In this crisis our opponents are disregarding all law and trying to bring about that condition | of things which is the absence of all' law. and is known oniy by that most abhor- rent Janguage in the English tongue—red handed anarchy.” General Porter then referred to Major McKinley, whose name received an ova- tion. *‘Some men know our candidate as Major McKinley, others as Governor Mec- Kinley, but we know him as Comrade Mc- Kinley. On the other side ‘we see Bryan flirting vigorously with Sewall and Wat- son, neither of whom know whnt time l‘xa enzuzement will be broken.” General Porter then scid the Bry_nnhu had insulted the flag in Mlssonri, Tilinois and Chicago. “We read in the papers to-day,” said he, “that the Bryanites tore down the flagin | Chicago and trampled and spat upon it. [Cries of “Shame.”’] “The - time has not yet come ‘in this great Republic to substitute partisanship for patriotism or dynamite for law. We are sitting here to-night under the inspira-" tion of Ulysses: 8. Grant, our great general.” There was great cheering at this and the flag which was in front of General Grant’s picture was drawn aside. ‘The entire meeting cheered ‘enthusiastically. Speeches were also made. by Generals Daniel E. Sickels and 0. 0. Howard, Hon. Carl Bchurz, Mayor William M. Strong, (lienersl McComb and (:enernl Horatio ing. Suenk to the Boiler Deck.

Mrs. Robinson and child were burned-to "death. Robinson was probably fatally burned. How the fire started is a mystery.

In All Sections of the State the Voters Determined to Elect McKinley. DEMOCRATS ARE DULY WARNED Cannot Cast Ballots for. Bryan With. out Assisting Watson, the Populist. INDIANAPOLIS, Isp., Oct. 30.—Gen- eral Harrison started on his second stump- ing tour of the State at 9 this morning. A crowd of several huodred people were gathered at the station, and Harrison was greeted with the wildest cheers. His train made its first stop at Greenfield at 9:30. He spoke to a crowd of 5000 and was given an ovation. ANDERSON, Inp, Oct. 30.—At Knights- town Harrison. spoke to an entbusiastic audience of 10,000 people. Anderson was the next stopping place. The crowd was estimated at irom 25,000 to 30,000 people. FORT WAYNE, Ixp,, Oct. 30.—At Win- chester, where nothing of very great mag- nitude had been expected, General Harri- son encountered one of the greatest dem- onstrations of the day. The people begar to pour in early in the morniag, and by the time the big parade started the mana- | gers of the demonstration estimated that from 20,000 to 25,000 people were present. On the way to Portland the party was en- tertained by the “Goldbug” Glee Club of Winchester. A momentary stop was made at Ridgeville, where General Harri- son bowed his -acknowledgments to sev- eral hundred people who had gathered at the station. Portland was scheduled for the longest stop of the day and the event was made a general rally for all that section. A tent holding 8000 people had been vrovided for the meeting, but not one-ttird of the crowd could get into it.. A hundred young men with Bryan badges went, to the sta- | tion to close in behind the train and | cheer for Bryan when Mr. Harrison ap- peared. They let go a few cheers about ten min- utes before the train arrived and the vast | multitude closed in upon them with a rush of such momentum that three or four of them fainted. They were carried from the crowd and no more interruption of the proceedings was attempted. A burst of tremendous cheering ‘and waving of hats started when General Har- rison appeared and waved along the crowd as far as could be seen up the street. The muititude moved slowly after the carriage as it movéd out to the field | where the tent was pitched and people were found packed for fifty yardsaround it- Finally General Harrison and party succeeded in reaching the stand and he was introduced by the county chairman, J. C. L. McAdams. General Harrison spoke at some length and with great earnestness, taking up in turn’'each of the more important issues of the campaign and discussing them. Speeches were made at Gepeva and | Berne, where General Harrison talked briefly to several bundred people.- It had become dark by the time Decatur; county seat of the densely Demoeratic county of Adams, was reached. ‘A crowd of about tion, where a stand had .been erected. General Harrison was given a warm recep- ifon,.though a number of cheers-for Bryan were heard.. In his speech here General Harrison went over the, history of the Re- publican party in making good the prom- ises of the Government in resunring specie |- payments, and declared that. the Demo- cratic party had faced completely about on the money question in four-years,.quot- ing the platform of 1832 and recent speeches of Bryan in support of the usser- tion. The principal part of his weech how- ever, was- in dealing with the question of tusion. He-told his old "Democratic friends of Aaams County that they could not vote the straight Democratic ticket this time if they wanted to. asked: *“For Bryan and Sewall?’ You cannot do it. If you should carry Indiana five of your electoral votes would go for Thomas Watson of Georgia, who isnota Democrat, and does not claim to be a Democrat. They have five Populists upon your -electoral ticket, and if you vote it two-thirds of your vote goes to Bryan and Sewall, your ticket, and one-third of it zoesto Bryan and Watson, the Populist nominees, 4 “And. if Thomas Walson should hold the balance of power in the Electoral Col- lege, you would have Watson -for Vice- President or nobody. You, who have been taking the straight thing for all these years, cannot get the straight thing this.year by voting the Democratic ticket. But you c¢an vote a straight Republican ticket, and thereby uphold many of the by Mr. Bryan and the Chicago platform.” The train was considerably behind. time and a fast run was made to Fort Wayne, whichr was reached at 6:15, only a few minutes. late. Here General Harrison rested quietly 1n his car until 7:30.0'clock, when the Republicans of Allen County gave one of the biggest demonstrations that have ‘ever been known. A night parade that required a couple of hours in passing was given, followed by a speech of neariy an hour’s length by General Har- rison in a circus tent that-haa been’ pro- cure for the occasion.

It Causes an Impl_?"ri;had Pole to Try . to Murder His Family and Cut His Own Throat. DETROIT, Micu., Oct. 30. —An at- tempted murder and suicide this morning led to the discovery of a pitiable case of destitution and misery. Mcrtin Lubin- ski, a native of Poland, lives here with his wife and two children. Heis a cripple and unabie to contribute anything to the support of the family. * His wife has gone out to work and until recently was. able to earn enough money to enable them.to live. Recently, how-" ever, sbe lost her work and there was ab- solutely no income. The family had been s0 poor for a-long time that they had nothing to sell or pawn, and for the past week they have been on the verge of starvation. Hunger and despair seemed to have al- fected Lubinski's-mind, and he decided that 1t was bétter that all should die than that. they shou!d live on in misery. Early this morning while his wife and children were still in bed he arose and pre- pared for his murderous work. The first his wife knew of his intentions was when she found him standing over her ‘with a Kkeen knife in his hand. She wasnot as anxious to give nup the struggle as was her husband. She sprang at him, but he eluded her and made an effort to get at the two children. :- The frantic woman succeeded in head- ing him ‘off again. She was physically greatly his superior, and he seemed to realize that fact and abandoned. his at- tempt to kill her. Suddenly, before she realized what he intended todo, he drew the ‘knife across his own throat, cutting a deep gash from which the ‘blood spurted | ‘in athick stream. He stood for a moment and then fell £o the ground. His wife at once werit to his assistance. She callea for-help and did what she could to stop the flow of blood. She succeeded so well that the.doctors now say that Lu- binski will probaply.recover. = Charitable people in the city have already interested themselves in the case and will see that the family is supported. e MEETING - HUNTINGTON'S TI?IL‘A" S.

A division of the business was proposed, but the Southern Pacific asked too large a share, It was then proposed to'maintain agreed rates of fares and-‘com- missions, but the Southern Pacific in- sisted that . commissions be paid to European agencies-not only on the busi- ness in which 'it was dixectly interested, but on:thgt ticketed to intermediate ‘points in which it has no interest. ‘When negotiations were broken off the clearing-fiouse ‘roads: decided they would reduce commissions, which are now $15 4000 people was gathered about the sta-. “For whom do you expect to vote?”’. he | principles for which Jackson and Jefferson | -| stood—orinciples that are’ now attacked and $16 a ticket, to $5 a ticket, and thus throw on.the Sunset.route the résponsi- bility for’ the continuance of the present demoralization.

Colby was balancing himself across the | crossbar, twenty-five feet above the stage, to-night. Dewitt was just beneath him. The audience, still as could be, was wait- ing, when there sounded through the building a sudden sharp snap, like the crack of.a revolver. The rope of the trap- ege parted. Tha two perf ormers crashed to the stage and lay motionless. The screams of the women, thie shouts of men, the rush of some of the-audience to the doors and of others to the stage followed the fall. The stage manager, George Curtiss, and others ran in and carried’ the two performers to ihe wings. - Then the momentary panic began to subside. Within ten minutes the spectators beheld with applause a girl singer, and_had apparently forgotten the accident.’ In the meantime the perform- ers were taken to' Harlem Hospital.

CHICAGO, ILL., Oct. 30.—The Republi- can National Committee received reports from State committee chairmen in re- sponse to the call sent out by Chairman Hanna for the latest and most conserva- tive estimate. of tke result. Presidential, State and Congressional. Following are extracts from these reports: Arkansas—Results will be substantially the same as Septemb r 2. No hope of electing Republican Congressmen. Vote will be slightly increased over September 2. Hope to get in the Republican column in. 1900: California—I have not the slightest doubt we will win the electoral vote.in this State. Colorado—Bell, the Populist Congres- sional candidate in the Second District, and Shafroth, silver Republican, in the First, will win, Bryan and Watson ticket will poll’ 6000 votes, Bryan and Sewall 95,000, McKinley 50000 Delaware—Result .as to Prenden!ia.l ‘electors doubtful.- Hon. D. M. Wilson of Dover says we will win Presidential elec- tors, but cannot say as to Congressmen. Maine—We will give at least 50,000 plu- rality for McKinley. .~ % 3 Massachusetts—Hope _to cast 390,000 votes. Predict Republican plurality of 150,000. Congressional districts are sure except Ninth and Tenth. These two are in doubt. 3 % Mississippi—There will be 65,000 votes cast, of which Palmer will gt 3000, Mc- Kinley 11,000, Bryan and Watson 1500, Bryan and Sewall 36,000. - North Dakata—McKinley electors will ‘be elected by 50,000 mujority.- Candidates for Congress will run even with electors. Ponulists and Democrats claim. the State by 3000. Oregon—Confident the Republicans will carry the State by 3500. Situation grow- ing more hopeful every day. Texas—Last night it was luthorhnhvely stated on the basis of the registration that there will be 525,000 votes cast. Some esti- mates make it as high as 595,000, This is an increase of-100,000 over the highest pre- vious vote. The increase is largely in our favor and Democrats are dis¢ouragéd over. it. Itis reasonably sure we mll get a fair count. Wyoming—We will carry Wyoming for our Congressmen by 5000 plurality and Justice of the Supreme Court by the same. The margin on electors is too close and changeable to make a close estimate. Michigan—F. E. Waite, member ¢f State Executive Committee: Trend is all our way. I believe we are safe for 35 000, and we may get 40,000 or 50,000. Florida—No doubt about Florida going for Bryan. Democrats will get 20,000, Re- publicans 12,000, Palmer 3000, Populists 2500.© May possibly elect one Congress- man. Tdaho—Idaho’s vote will be cast for “Bryan. - The Democmuu-Populut(c—qlver ticket will get two-thirds of lhe vote polled: The three candidates- for Con- gress have an even charce. We hope to elect our men. We will carry erough legislators to hold the balance of power with the Populists’ and Democrats. In- dications point to a Democratic successor to Senator Dubois. .He is practically out of the race. Iowa — Complela poll indlu:eu 75,000 Republican plurality. - Chlnces are it will go above this, New Hnmpsh!re-—We will carry this ‘State by 20,000 majority and will control the Legislature. Pennsylvnnln-—Pennnylvanil will give McKinley 250,000 pluralitv. Bryan will get 400,000 votes. Minne!otl—MinneapoH! will give Me- Kinley 5000 majority.. Later reports make me raise my estimate of the majority in the State from 25,000 to 30,000 and proba- bly 35.000. The last poll shows a majority for McKinley of 35,710. Idaho has been placed by recent Repub- lican estimates in the list which might go for McKinley, but the foregoing report, which was approved by the National chair- man, concedes the State as sure for Bryan. Colonel Hahn, whose duties as head of the speakers’ bureau department, are practically ended, received the following _telegram to-day from National Commit- teeman Scott of the New York headquar- ters: “Shake, old man. We will give you New England, Pennsylvania, New York, Mary- 1and, New Jersey, North Cnrounu. Vir- gLnia ‘West Virginia and Tennessee.”” Colonel Hahn said that he did not yield North Carolina and Tennessee in his estimate given out to-day, because in the first State there was complete fusicn of the Democrats and Populists, and in Ten- ‘nessee he was afraid there would be & repetition of the alleged counting out of H. Clay Evans. Chairman Hahn of the speakers’ bureau of the National Republican Committee to- day gave out a statement claiming that McKianley would receive 314 electorai votes from the followi twenty-nine States: Cnmorml.

Snow has fallen over. the entire country from Olathe, Kans, and west of McCook, Nebr. This had been 'preceded by rain, that froze on the surface, and then the short grass was covered by the snow, that drifted at a farious rate. Last night a general. blizzard -ensued, and correspondentsare of the opinion that when the storm abates many cattle will] be found off tlieir range and dead in the drifts.

C., Oct. 30.—John Hyde of the Department of Agriculture, author of the recent report on ‘*‘wheat prices,” brands as a lie the statement that be had given it as his judgment that the present rise in wheat had been planned by speculators.” Mr, Hyde declares that if ever there was a rise in prices that was strictly legitimate, it is the present rise in wheat. Advices - received from Russia, India and Argentina report such short crops in those countries-as to make a big shortage in the world’s supply a matter of absolute certainty, and, notwithstanding tire oscillation of the last few days, Mr. Hyde looks for still higher prices. Specu- lation, he says, is usually most active when, as at the present time, impossibil- ity of ascertaining full and precise effect of an important change in conditions leaves some little room for doubt or specu- lation as to the near future, but it is either the greatest folly or most criminal men- dacity to say that present specnlation in wheat is itself the cause of the rise in prices. Those who make such .statements are proving themselves false frienas of the farmers, because, if the present rise iy fictitious, it would be clearly to farmers’ interests to take immediate advantage of to the effect that farmers will do better by not crowding their wheat onto the market justat this time. el uien : Pacific Coast Pensions.

THE ROYAL ROAD. Good Food Is the Only Way. It's a man’s bad babits that burt him mcre than overwork. The little habits of coffze and tobacco hurt worse than some of the big ones, because they are contin- ued more steadily than the greater habits. Many a man 1s simply paisoned to death by the alkaloids of coffee and tobacco and never will believe what_is Hurting bhim. Let- him quit tobacco and use Postum Cereal, the food drink, in place of coffee .and very sqon -he finds that nature, the great restorer. is at work. No medicine is needed, simply quit doing those ihings which poison and waste the energy, and let nawure build into body and brain from good food. Postum is maide ennroly of grains by the Postum Cerzal Co. lim., of Battle Creek, Mich., and is nourishing and fattening. Use plain, common food and the food-drink (it looks like coffer but isnot). Health will come and-be of mucly mcre solid character than when patched up with drugs. Dr. H. P. Merriman, 2239 Michigan Ave., Chicago, says, *'I have tried the Postum and am pleased with it.” “Just as good”’ as Postum Cereal are words used to defraud the public. -_—, ‘o=, MeKINLEY INVINCIBLES !
