WHAT GovERSoR-ELEcT M'KISLEY SAYS
CANTON, o., Nov. 5.-Mr Mckinley said in
speaking of the Ohio election: | am con-
ylnccd that the judgment of every citizen
does not approve of the constant agitation Of
the tariff issue in the face of the fact that it
can accomplish nothing, 1t must surely be
apparent TO al alike that the conditions
about which effective legislation is impossible
do not exist. The Republican Senate
and the Republican President are bulwarks
against which free-trade forces dash power
less and with no immediate prospect of a
change in these conditions. The only result
OF the continued agitation is TO disturb busi-

SENATOR sHEBMAN's VIEWS.
MANSFIELD. o., Nov. 5-Senator Sherman
was seen at his home to-day and asked his
views on the election. He said: II am in
duced TO believe that we have won great
victory. In many respects 1t is but an in
dorsement or echo of the fight of 1875
upon the financial question. President Hayes
and myself then made an issue for the
honest dollar and this election in our Com
monwealth only shows how the people Of
this State are true to the best elements of all
life. do not mean to say. however, that the
