Canton. Oct. 2».—Historians of the can
paign of DM will record Thursday, Octo
ber ©, a* one of the red letter day*. Maj.
MeKinley has been kept busy since early
morning, and visitors ram? so f»?t about
the middle of the day that he could not
find tinns to lunch until after 3 o'clock.
Ona party was In town before 7 o'clock,
hut considerately delayed thtir call till
tn« major had finished his breakfast.
Others came at short Interval* durtng the
day, and the crowd became so large that
the speaking had to he transferred from
the fioreh to the reviewing stand. Each
caller was intent on shaking hands with
t/se nominee, and so far as possible tha
opportunity was granted, although It was
a herculean task. At one time the crowd
became so large that it was impossible to
organise a line for handshaking recep
tions. But hundreds In that party lin
gered about the house waiting for the
major to re-appear, and towards evening
be came out upon the porch to meet them.
Maj. MeKinley made flve rormal ad
dreaaea. the laat to aeven car loads of
people coming from Fulton and Williams
counties, Ohio, and De Kalb and other
northwestern counties of Indiana. There
were two introductory addresses. The
five audiences addresaed were composed of
fourteen delegations in which were railroad
mnn. business men and manufacturers,
farmers, mechanics, miners, oil men, glass
workers, Iron workers, bankers, profes
sional men. printers, men and women of
fice employes, coming from four states.
West •Virginia, Pennsylvania, Indiana and
Ohio.
Besides the five speeches. MaJ. McKlnley
received a large number of indi\-idual call-
T» from all over the country. «hook hands
with a large party of women sten
ographers from Akron, who had a tally
ho in the parade, and who were afterward
received by MaJ. McKfnley's mother. He
also spoke Informally In his library to the
directors and officers of the German De
posit bank, of Pittsburg, and made a brief
address In the same place, responding to
the greetings of a small party of business
men and manufacturers of Pittsburg.
In response to J. B. Templer. ot Swan
ton. 0.. and J. C. Venlr. of Butler, Ind.,
who spoke on behalf of Fulton and Will

diana. MaJ. McKlnley said:

the speakers were greeted with eath Mi

addresses from Chairman DeWitt and
Jesse Spalding, of Chicago. Ex-President
Harrison sent the following telegram:
"I am very sorry that 1 cannot speak

The Logical Sequence of Bryan's
Atldrewrs la Chicago.
Chicago. Hi., Oct. 29.—Mr. Bryan's visit
to Chicago is proving a great disappoint
ment to his managers. While his frantic
efforts and mad rush from place to place
In the city have attracted many people, a
large proportion of them not only wear
yellow badges, but show their loyalty to
Mc-Kinley by cheers for him at the con
clusion of Bryan's remarks.
Wherever Bryan speaks McKlnley speak
ers put in their appearance, and if it were
possible for Bryan's speeches here to have
any influence on voters, it would be more
than offset by the work of the McKlnley
speakers throughout the. city. Senator
Tillman's appearance in the public squares
of Chicago at this time are likened unto
the notorious "sand lot" appeals of Den
nis Kearney In San Francisco, and his
work Is doing good service for the sound
money cause. After the tenants of Tem
ple Court building. 225 Dearborn street,
had listened to Bryan's speech today, they
tore down the American flag and tram
pled it under foot. This created an in
tense indignation among tne other occu
pants of the building, and for a time it
looked as if serious trouble would result.
After Chairman Hanna had this evening
carefully examined and revised the polls
from the several states, including those
recently regarded as doubtful, he declared
that he mas now absolutely certain that
M'-Klnley and ilobart would be elected by
a much larger majority than he had here
tofore anticipated. He said there was no
longer the least doubt that all the Pa
cific slope states, Kansas, Nebraska, the
Dakotas. Minnesota. Tennessee. West Vir
ginia. Maryland and Delaware would
choose and Hobart electors on
next Tuesday.

JUDGE RIRKF/S CONVERTS.
Even at Port Totvntrnd He Find*
People of Common Srnae.
Port Townsend. Oct. 29-Special.—To
what was not only the largest, but the
most representative audience that ever
assembled In Learned'* opera house to
listen to ti political ppeech. Judge Thomas
Purke. of Seattle, one of. the few consis
tent Democra's in the state, last evening
dHl\»red an address that not only held
his hearers spellbound for two solid
hours, but has been the cause of a great
deal of discussion on the streets and in
business houses ever since.
Judge Burke lost no time In prelimi
naries. but got down to work at once,
showing tho Innumerable fallacies of the
claims of the Popocrats. not overlooking
the chance to denounce In scathing terms
those features of the platform adopted
at Chicago which have driven all consis
tent and law-abiding Democrats tempo
rarily from under the banner of that or
ganization. His word picture of faith,
hope and charity, impersonated by
Messrs. Bryan, Tillman and Altgeld, was
a clever hit, and sufficed to Impress upon
the minds of several who had come to
scoff that the trio was one representing
anarchy and a general overthrowing of
the law* which have In past years mad®
thi« country the prosperous one it Is.
He declared that, had Jackson been
alive, he would have adopted the same
honorable course that has be#>n the stand
of President Cleveland In this groat crisi*.
and the great applause that went vip at
the mention of the two names, proved
conclusively that the great contingent of
T»emocr;»t* In the audience wore heartily
In accord with the speaker and the men
he mentioned.
One of the pleasant characteristics of
Judge Burke's able argument Is that he
refrained frum all effort® at oratorical
flight, putting the question fairly and
squarely before the people In plain, ev
erv-day. workingman's English. It Is es
timated by conservative members of both
parties that the able work of Judge
Burke has put the seal on the fate of

OUR NEXT SECRETARY OF STATE
REED IN CALIFORNIA.
Is He Making Votes or Is He
Wasting Time?
WHAT DOES HE THINK?
Read His Straight-Oat, Common
place Talk to Common-Place
People—He Has Several Remarks
In Regard to the Street-Corner
Politicians gnd Their Arguments.
San Jose, Cal., Oct. 29.—The largest audi
ence which has greeted a speaker here
in this campaign, greeted Hon. Thomas B.
Reed tonight. In fact, the Auditorium
theater and a bic hall, where an overflow
meeting was held, could by no means ac
commodate those who sought to hear the
gentleman. He wa? met at ! Nlle» by a
committee and escorted to the city.
On his arrival here he was taken to the
hotel, where lunch was served.
During the afternoon he and his daughter
were the recipients of marked attention.
He was escorted from me hotel to the
speaking place by a flambeau cluh. and
the crowds on the streets gave him a
hearty greeting. It was several seconds
after Mr. Reed faced the great audience
before he cou'.d commence to speak. The
cheers were continuous and enthusiastic.
He began his remarks by saying that ha
was thankful for such a cordial greeting:.
Hp Mid that he made his first political
speech thirty-two years ago in Santa
Clara county to an audience of atoout fifty
people. "The country ha* grown some
then," he dryly remarked. "If there
S3 a richer or more beautiful val'cy in the
•world I have never seen it." (laughter
and cheers >
Ti»m'.ng then to more serious thoughts,
he sa d that all the world was seeking an
Increase of wealth. Happiness depends on
the Increase of wealth. an<l an lncren«e of
wealth fairly ani honestly distributed.
Wealth is that which adds to :>uman com
fort and happiness, whether a coat, a pa'r
of shoes or a. home. ThTe had been a vast
increase in wealth in recent years.
"In crossing the continent one se«-s adobe
huts which were once used few hotm-s. In
fact, at one time man used a cave and
holes -In the ground for homes, they
have become too rich for these no*r, and
holes are not needed except by those fel
lows who wlli wnnt them after the 3d of
November. (Laughter)
"In the <t me of the crusade there was
not w-ewith sufficient in all Europe to sup
port the railroads for one decade. Wealth
d d not exist, and what there was was in
the hards of the castle owner and gentry.
Our great railroads of today ar» due to
arts! the great drs*rCbirtion of
wealth. They are not the resu'rt of tha
wealth of any one man. b\jt of the dis
tribution of wealth among aU people. The
Bell telephone would not have been as Im
possihe 100 year* ago as it would have been
lfl.iW years ago. for there was no general
wealth among the people.
"You hear lots of fellows declaiming
about money and per capita, and the
good that will result from thi« policy or
that which they noisily advocate on
street corners, but It does r.ot follow that
all who claim to be prophets are such.
Be<-aus» men may believe a thing does
not make It so. Belief does not make It
so. Behe? does not make & thing true.
Yon don't have to call for cheers for
Bryan wh*n you see those fellows stand
ing on the corner, because you know who
they win cheer for by their looks and
general appearance. We are told now
that the tariff question Is settled. Well,
this ts probabJy true, for the people set
tled it In I**."
In regard to silver. Mr. Reed said that
there were a lot of loose notions floating
around that free silver coinage was a
panacea for all things. This was that
same street corner talk Years ago the
same sort of idea infested the country,
and the fellows then constantly referred
to France as a beautiful example of what
could be done. Yet Fr.tnce never had a
greenback, or anything skin to it.
-Some of these fellows go clean back to
the middle a*e* for their object lessons,"
he said. "Welt that is where they be

more sense. Why, they cry about "the
crime of 1573;" actually they cry because
we decided to pay 100 cents on the dollar,
instead of 103. They shout about the
greatness of America., and oppose a finan
cial policy from England. As a matter of
fact, we were all imported 250 years ago,
and many of those who are talking about
a finance which is imported, are of vej-y
recent importation. They forced upon
us a free trade, which was Imported from
England, for there is not another free
trade country on the earth.
"They talk about 'per capita,' when as a
matter of fact the most prosperous four
teen years in our history was when we
had less money than now. These fellows
are ignorant; that is the cause of their
troubles." he said, amid much applause.
Just about this time in his speech some
one in the audience called out to Mr. Reed:
"Tell us something about the funding
bill." The gentleman's face flashed, and
the merry twinkle in his eye gave place to
one of flre. as he shouted back: "I could
not enlighten ignorance so dense as that.
You are one of those 25 cents fellows, who
have no more sense than to accept the 25
cents to cause the disturbance."
There were no more questions asked Mr.
Reed. He spoke of the purchase of 4.500.-
000 ounces of silver a month by the gov
ernment, and said that there was a de
mand. but the Supply was so greatly in
creased that the price fell. He said It
would be so with free coinage, that the
supply would become so ureat that the
government could not maintain the price.
He said the ideas advocated by Bryan
were reprobated by all thoughtful men.
Once during his speech the mention of
Bryan's name was cheered.
Previous to the speaking handbills pur
porting to be an article in favor of silver
by Mr. Reed from the Fortnightly Review
of June. 1*94. were circulated in the crowd.
While it is undoubtedly true that there
were many advocate* of free coinage In
the audience, it was largely made up of
Republicans, and the meeting was a grand
success.
Mr. Reed goes to Ran Francl«co and
then to Santa Rosa at 9 o'clock tomorrow.

Blame, Oct. 23—Special.—The Joint de
bate in this city tonight between Hermon
Craven, of Seattle, and C. K. Online, Popu
list candidate for the legislature from
Whatcom county, resulted In a most flat
tering victory for Mr. Craven, and mads
many votes for the "Republican ticket.
The question debated was: "Could the
ration unaided and alone maintain the
parity between gold ar.d silver under free
and unlimited coinage at a ratio of 16
to i."
"Mr. Craven opened the debate ani for
an hout gave a convincing and logi
cal presentation of the question. Cllne fol
lowed and was given si hour and thirty
minutes to reply. He had uttered only a
few words when It was evident to the
audience that he mas completely over
matched. He devoted about twenty-five
minute# in an attempt to answer Mr. Cra
ven, tmt his attempt was so weak that he
ab*n<3on*"d the question entirely and de
voted the balance of his time to an en
deavor to convince his tudtence that Mr.
Craven did not know what he was talking
about. As he eat down there waa hardly
a cheer.
Mr. Craven was riven ten minute* in
which to reply, and in that brief space of
time gave his opponent such a scathing
arraignment that the hairs of Cline's

and 2 o'clock thin afternoon. Six men are
hnotfn to hp dead and ♦hree Injured. It
Is yet unknown how many were In the
mine at the time of the explosion. but
twelve are mlslsng. and It Is believed all
of these have perished. The dead who
have been brought to the surface are:
Wtt R. Jones, flrst bosa; John Josephs,
assistant mine foreman; others known to

Owena, miner; William Lncey. rock
miner; Jumcs Herpon. laborer; Joseph
Worth. Are boss. Th* Injured, so far as
known arc: David Willisms. overcome
by Are damp; John Davis, overcome by
black damp.
The cause of the explosion will prob
ably never l>e known. Usually there were
to .VW men employed In the mine, Had
they all been at work when the explo
sion occurred the loss of life would have
been very large. The only men In the
mine this afternoon were the company
hands and bosses, who were at work in
the rock tunnel, changing the air course.
The place was very gaseous, und the men
worked with safety lamps. It s believed
that the gas was Ignited by a blast. Da
vid Williams, the driver boss, was at the
head of the stope, sOO feet away, when
the explosion occurred, and waa hurled
some distance and Injured. He was the
only one in that vicinity who escaped
alive.
The explosion was so severe that it was
plainly felt at the mouth of The shaft. The
roof of the fan house was Mown off. and
alt the air waya and brattice m?ii<l«* were
wrecked and blown away. The alarm was
promptly given, and hundreds of men,
women and children rushed to the head of
the shaft. The grief of the w..m»*n who
had husbands, sons or brothers in the mine
was heartrending.
The work of orasniiin* resena gangs
was begun without deity. It was a peri
lous undertaking as the se-iuei proved,
but no man faltered. Fire Ro?s William
R Jones and Assistant Mine Foreman
John Josephs relented the men for the
firwt party, and themselves led ths w*y.
All were overcome by the dread after
damp. but not until they had found Driver
Boss Itavld William®.
All except Joseph* succeeded in reaching
the foot of the shaft, and were remove<l
to the surface, but the fire boss, William
R, Jones, succumbed to the d«»dly fire
damp. and died in half an hour after be
ing brought out. despite the efforts of
doctors to save his life. John Josephs, tits
other hero, became separated from the
flrst party, and the second rewoting party
found hia body and removed It to the sur
face at I'M o'clock.

and also by another opening
It Is thought jKi»slh,e to rea.-h the four

Considering the heavy rain which fell -S

was certainly remarkable. That men sfl* iJ|

As early as 4 o'clock In the evsalMt

The management of such a number at
