Pittsburg Post.

Major William Mckinley, he of
gubernatorial hopes and tariff fame,
was a visitor in Pitisburg yesterday.
With his wife and in company with
q party ebaperoped by Mrs. John
w. Taylor, wife Of the well known
East Liverpool pottery manufaetur
er, he visited the Barnum q Bailey
circus in the afternoon, and after
supper went over to Recreation park
to witnass the Fall of Pompeii."
Speaking Of current events he said:
Il haze read Of the reported at
tempt of ex Congressman Nicdripg
haus to import Welsh labor To oper-
ate his tin.plate mill, and the state
ments that it was unnecessary for
him to bring these workmcn over. as
enough men were already in the coun
try to meet the demand If such is
the case Mr. Niedringbaus cannot
import the men if interpret the law
correctly. | do not see anything to
prevent the Amalgamated Associa
ton from insisting upon the enforce
ment of the alien labor law in this
case if it can demonstrate that the
importation is injurious to an estab-
lished class of the same kind here
Foreigners are amenable to the law
whenever any craft Of skilled work
men are effected.
There is no Sherman Foraker
fight in Ohio" said Mr.. Mckinley.
"The election of a United States sen
ator rests entirely with the represen
tatives. and the fighting between
Messrs. Foraker and Sherman is be
ing done by the opposition. or course
the next legislature will be Republic
can. Governor Campbell admits that,
and the prospects for another Demo
cratic senator will be commensurate
with the strength of the party in the
legislature. We will have a number
of prominent Republicans from other
States to stump, among whom will
possibly be ex-Speaker Reed. | don't
believe it is the intention of Mr..
Quay and Mr.. Dudley to oppose Presi-
dent Harrison for denomination, and
the story that they have retired from
the national committee to fight him
unfettcred seems to be without foun-
dation. My energies are concentra-
ted in the fight for governor of Ohio,
and while it is ON my hands | will
give it my undivided attention. This
resolve precludes indulgence in any
thought Of the presidential campaign
and its probabilities. | feel conf
dent of election, but do not pre-
sumo upon my prospects enough to
think about majorities.
1t was reported that Major McKin-
ley's visit was TO raise 100000 to he
sunk in the Ohio campaign toward
electing him governor. In consider
alton of the loan or gift of 100000
well known Republican leader of this
city was promised certain things in
case of his election.
In Mrs. TayloI's party, besides
Major Mckinley and his wife, there
were w. S. and Homer j. Taylor,
Miss Keller and William Hill, of East
Liverpool and Miss Mcdonald of
New Lisbon, O. While witnessing
the circus performance Major Nc
Kinley paid compliment to his
friend, but political enemy, Governor
Campbell. A camel's race was down
on the card, and while the i'll shapen
quadrupeds were cantering around
the race track gentleman sitting
behind Mr.. Mckinley tapped him on
the shoulder and said: Major, there
goes your opponent, pointing to the
camels. Yes said the Republican
candidate, looking toward the animal
in the lead, "and he seems to be 60
ing it mighty fast" The reply caught
everyone within earshot and mighty
hurrah drowned the laughter.
