MCKINLEY's METHODS.

The methods adopted by Mckinley in the Ohio campaign are so manly and straightforward that the Democrats, whose political stock in trade heretofore has been vlllifcation and personal abuse, are unhorsed.
 The Chicago Inter-0 Ocean in a recent issue took occasion to call attention to McKinley's canvass of Ohio as political novelty. His campaign is being con ducted on lines so entirely candid, sound, and logical in politics that adher- ents of parties inimical to that which the Major represents admit the superb ority of his position, and many would vote for him gladly. But even greater than his political success in the refuta a. ton of the theories and sophistries of his opponent is the personal popularity he has achieved. Whether or not Me- Kinley be elected, there is no doubt that he is today the most popular and most ge nuinely esteemed man in Ohio. He has made friends everywhere. He has won the admiration of Democrats by manliness and wisdom that are rarely found united, and which were never before engaged in a partisan can vass with such constancy and good tenn per and fair dealing as have character ized the speeches of Major Mckinley.
 The little incident at Caldwell the other day. when Mckinley declined the proffered carriage and walked to the hotel surrounded by young girls, who came dressed in white to meet him at the train, was quite in keeping with the nature of the man. Partisan opponents may say this was a bit of demagogy. a trick to gain votes, but that will not matter. No one will vote for Mckinley for that who would not have voted for him before, but thousands of hearts will like him the better for it. It was the man, not the politician, that walked with those little girls; the mere politi- clan would never have thought of such a thing.
 This was one of multitude of things Mckinley has done to endear himself to ! the people of his state; and if they are all political tricks they evince a clever ness, a mental breadth and readiness that are superior to anything Ohio has presented in the last quarter of cen- tury, and prove that for very shrewd- ness Mckinley is the worthiest man to be intrusted with the state government. Ii they are the spontaneous manifesto tions of frank, honest, sympathetic heart, Ohio could not do better than secure such man to the administra- tion of her affairs for the next two years.
 The truth is, MT. Mckinley is one of the largest men is mind and in heart, in soul and in sentiment, that strong pol itical convuisions have brought to the surface. He is great man., and the people are finding it cut. He is the sort of man citizens in common look upon with respect and confidence. and for whose sake they would gladly put aside party considerations to secure the general good of all. Though it seems now that Mckinley is certain to be elected, there is, of course, the possi- bility of his defeat; but there is no sort of doubt what will be his future stand ing in that State. Ohio too thorou ghly admires greatness in her sons to let a truly great one be crowded from the employment of merited honors at her hands.
 That Mckinley is in every way the abler man of the two contending for gubernatorial place this campaign has abundantly proved, and there is prob- ably not a sound-thinking, really intel gent Democrat in Ohio who does not admit the fact. Mckinley is a man of the people in sympathies. and yet is able to cope with the profoundest in- tellects, and is therefore a representa- tive of the force in politics that is most essential to the high progressive devel. opment of this country. Mckinley is the sort O! man we can't spare; he is worth too much to the Nation, and Ohioans should recognize that worth by giving him abOut 50 OO0 maioritv
