McKinley and Hobart Parade at Canton, Ohio—note antics of the now famous Racoon which is carried upon a pole alongside of Hobart's Portrait, and Major McKinley at Home. After having entertained representatives of the New York Sound Money Delegation, he walks across his lawn, receives, opens, and with a look of joy, reads a telegram from the Republican National committee informing him that he has carried "The Golden East" and several doubtful States, after which he bows to a lot of enthusiastic admirers as they doff their hats, cheer, and wave their hands and handkerchiefs, etc. In the different political parades, at Canton, to be seen, are those from every section of the United States, and the faces of many Prominent Men from this vicinity will be recognized.
