CANTON, Oct. 8. 'Canton's streets
have been crowded all day. Forty car
loads of cheering, flog waving, finely
uniformed and decidedly musical vis
itors, crowded about (tibia McKinley
home. Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indi
ana sent their delegations. The Pitts
burg Italians waved old glory by the
hundreds, as they marched from the
Pennsylvania depot at noon. Indiana
shortly afterward tried to outdo ithem
in music, cheers and the fine drill of
the handsomely uniformed clubs. The
fwomen marched in good itlme and
quick step from . Jefferson county,
Pennsylvania.
By the middle of the afternoon Mar
ket street looking to the McKinley
house was filled width marchers. Thou
sands going cheered those departing
as they passed under itihe beautiful Mc
MoKinley ardhi at Market and Noikh
streets. Of the fine paraders, the
Cleveland first voters who came last,
kept ithe crowds on the sidewalks
cheering as enthusiastically as did the
women marchers, who had a continual
ovation from the railway station to
the McKinley home-
During the course of his remarks to
day Mr. McKinley said that no nation
can hold its standing before mankind
that will depreciate its own currency.

can fooldjits position that will violate
plighted faith, or repudiate any part
of its indebtedness, under any guise
whatsoever. No maltion can command
respect at home or abroad if It ' does
not at aid times uphold the supremacy
of the law and inviolability of its own
sacred obligations. Surely every
young voter who has his spurs yet to
win, hils career yet to make, his for
tune to build, will cast his ballot to
continue the equality of citizenship, of
privilege, of opportunity, or possibil
ity, which has been the boast of our
citizenship, and it Is the very corner
stone upon which our free Institutions
rest.- No young man will want weights
upon his own. shoulders or raise a 'bar
rier to hte own progress, which has
hitherto never impeded the progress
of the Industrious, honest, clean, am
bitious young man. (Tremendous ap
plause.)
Two unprecedented features of the
ipresddenitial campaign distinguished
this eventful day. One was the call
of One confederate veterans of the
Shenandoah valley, Virginia, to the
Republican presidential nominee who
carried a musket as a federal private.
Another was the listening to the busi
ness men's and trades demonstration
in .Chicago toy Major McKinley at his
home. McKinley. showed great pleas-
ure at the volume of enthusiastic
sounds that reached him over the 400
miles of wire. The music of the bands
and the cheering of the crowds were
plainly heard. The highly polished
hickory stump sent Major McKinley
by Sheriff Greener of Knoxville and
other eastern Tennessee admirers was
dedicated on the McKinley porch this
morning. Three coach loads of east
Tennesseeans, organized by Sheriff
Greener, and in charge of Captain Wil
liam Rule and Major E. J. Camp, vice
president of ithe National Republican
league, came with, congratulations,

Although no poll has been made of
California the executive commilttee of

tee has ireceived reports from all sec
tions of California regarding the Na
tional fighit. The statements are very
encouraging and indicate that a great
change of sentiment in favor of Mc
Kinley and Hdbart is going on. In
counties which shortly after Bryan's
nomination promised to go almost
solid for .repudiation and free silver,
conditions are reversed and the indica
tions are ithat the counlties will now

'We will carry the state by 15,000," .

workers at the Republican headquar

Those who remain true to the middle

that for downright ingratitude this ac
tion of Reppy's has no equal in Ari
zona political history.
Reppy is cute. He played for a seat
at the "pie counter" and he may get
there. iHis Democracy was scarce
month old when he was nominated for
the legislature by his new political as
sociates. He has had much to say in
his paper since his advent into Pinal
county about the "pie counter." He
came direct here from the last session
of the legislature where he had the
fattest take to be had of the legislature
"pie counter." He has lived at Pinal
county's "pie counter" ever since he
has been in the county, much to the
disgust of the taxpayers. And now he
is asking the taxpayers to send him
to Phoenix where he may have an
other lunch. But Reppy's alliance
with Smith will not give Pinal county
to Smith by any means.
There is a man named Jim, Doran
who has to be reckoned with first
Doran has been a resident of the

elected to office by the people several
times. He ran ahead! of his (ticket two

man in Pinal county knows that Doran

now that he has justly been awarded
a congressional nomination thev will

ARIZONA PENSIONS
CHICAGO, Oct 9. A special to The -
Tribune from Cincinnati says: Charles
Thorp, aged 65, a wealthy gentleman :
of Birmingham, Eng., has been mar- 3
raed to the sweetheart of 'his youth, '
who had, been separated from him by '
death for over forty years. The wed- i
ding occurred at a private residence
on- Seventh street and was witnessed
by a number of highly, respectable and -,
intelligent people, some of whom are
well known to society and who are ,-
willing to vouch for the occurrence. ,
Among thefee present were Dr. H. M. ..
Slosson and wife of this city, who
were invited there by a spiritualistic
medium who claims she is gifted with '
tine power of materializing spirits. In
speaking of the occurrence, Dr. and
Mrs. Slossom said that it was fche
most remarkable demonstration they
had ever witnessed. They also said
they were fully convinced that no '
fraud or deception had been practiced.
While the medium was visiting the
large cities of the country propound- .
ling the doctrines of spiritualism and
giving exhibitions of spiritualistic :
manif estations, she met Mr. Thorp -at ;
Omaha. He called upon her at the ,
hotel, and in the course of a conversa
tion stalled iat while a young man '
laving in England he was engeged to
marry a woman who had died before '
'She date set for the wedding, and it
was hils ardent desire to converse with '.
her. The medium granted him a sit- '
ting. iMr. Thorp afterwards, in speak
ing of the occurrence, said .he met Ms '
sweetheart; in the form of a material
ized spirit About a dozen ' sittings
were had in different 'towns; At Chi
cago iMr. Thorp consulted the medium,
and after telling her that hs had gained
tne consent of ihis former sweetheart
he requeaied that a marriage ceremony
be performed. This being a new de
parture in spirituaHism. ithe medium
doubted ithat the arrangements pro-
posea ny Ma-.- 'inarp could be carried
out. She, however, expressed a will
ingness to further test her powers as
a medium, so she granted Mr. Thorp
a trial, setting the place for the wed
ding to this city. . At 8 o'clock those
who were bidden assembled. There
were less than a dozen persons present
The room was darkened and not a
single ray of light could be seen any
where, Mr. Thorp was stationed at
a point near the cabinet For some
time all sat silently in the darknas
and gazed attentively toward 'the cab
inet, expecting some manifea'ation. At
last a sound like the rustling of a cur
tain was heard. It was the cabinet'
being opened. Through the aperrture
came a phosphorescent light, the soft
rays' faintly illuminatine the face and
iorm oi Mr. ainorp and eivinsr him a
ghostly appearance. His tace was then
