Excerpt from McKinley, the People's Choice, His Eloquent and Effective Responses: The Congratulations of the Country, the Calls of Delegations at Canton, the Addresses by ThemThe crowd had begun to disperse, but its attention was re-arrested by the arrival of a monster delegation from Massillon and Western Stark County, which came by special train on the Interurban Electric Railway. Nineteen cars were jammed with people, hundreds of whom were employ es of Russell Co's great machine shops. Dozens could not get into the cars but clung to the sides and tops of the coaches, despite danger and inconvenience. They reached Canton at and marched at once to Major mckinley's residence, where Mr. E. A. Jones, of Cleveland, formerly Superintendent of the Massillon Public Schools, made a speech of congratulation, both on what he had done, and what was deservedly in store for him, as the faithful friend and servant of the people To this Major mckinley responded that he was deeply grateful for their words of encouragement and. Cheer, and that he was always glad to hear from and meet the laboring men of Massillon, and all his friends in that city. I remember well, said he, that when I was given my first public trust (his nomination for Prosecuting Attorney) twenty-seven years ago, the suggestion first came from Western Stark County, and I am proud of the fact that since then you have given me your loyal and unswerving support through the whole of my public career. I bid you all welcome, and good night.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
