Pennsylvanians Honor Major McKinley.
CANTON, O., Oct. 1.-The rain which set in during the reception of the last delegation last Saturday, with slight interruptions, has continued ever since. The first delegation to see Major McKinley yesterday arrived in a special of nine coaches at 8 o'clock a. m., with rain pouring down in torrents.
The party was taken to the Tabernacle, where, shortly after 9 o'clock, Major McKinley went to receive the greetings delivered by W. E. Gray, chairman of the Center county, Pa., Republican central committee. The party organized at Bellefonte and represented the first Pennsylvania county to instruct delegates for McKinley. Mr. McKinley addressed the delegation at length, paying a brilliant tribute to Pennsylvania's Republicanism.
