Ni'KINLEY IN GOTHAM.
The Great Apostle of Protection
Wants q Rest

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Gov. William
Mckinley Jr., of Ohio, and Mrs. McKin-
ley arrived in New York this a ternoon.
The governors brother, Abner, and a
number of political friends met them at
the depot. The protective advocate
drove to the Windsor hotel Immediately
He said that he had come to New York
for a rest. While he expected, of course,
to see some of the leaders of the Repub-
llcan party here there was no political
significance in his visit. He expected
TO remain week.
After dinner at the Windsor the party
went to Abbey's theater to see Henry
Irving. They were the guests of Ii. IL.
kohlSaat, of the Chicago Inter
Ocean, and Melville E. Stone. The
governor was seen at his ho-
tel Immediately after his re-
turn from the theater. He ex-
pressed himself as having been de-
lighted at the performance. He said he
was in the best of health and spirits,
only little tired after the struggle of
the past ten weeks. When questioned
relative to the object of his visit
the governor said his principal
reason for coming East was on
account of his wlfe's health, who
wished to consult new physician, and
he would also utilize the time in re-
cruitIng and gaining needed rest. Re-
ferring to the report that he was here
to confer with the members of the Repub-
blican national committee, who it was
said are inaugurating Mckinley
boom," for the presidential campaign OF
1896, ne talked quietly, and said there
was no truth in it whatever. He said
he might accidentally meet some OF the
RnnnhlIPan Ina6prS nt un IN
search of them. When asked if he was
not jubilant over his great victory in
Ohio, the governor replied:
Il am not eXultant, only pleased and
grateful. The battle was fought almost
solely OH the tariff issue. No other
question was brought in until near the
close, when Neal, who saw his case was
hopeless, hacked at the silver question
a little. The vast majority rolled up in
Ohio showed cOncluSively that the work
ingmen had learned something since the
vote OF lost year, and now see the folly
of their course. They were clearly dis
satisfied with the course of the present
administration"
The protection leader was asked his
opinion of the presidents stand on the
Hawaiian affair, but said that he aid not
care to criticiSe President Cleveland's S
action III the matter at present, as he
had been so busy with his gubernatorial
truggleS at home that he had not had
time to sufficiently probe the matter.
''And it would take considerable
time" he added, with smile, ito find
out why Grover has taken his present
COURSE"
He stated that he had favored Mr.
HarriSOn'S view of the situation, and,
naturally. did not take kindly to the
attitude of the present administration.
He said he had so much politics of late
that he did not care to speculate much
at present OIL the question of the issues
of the campaign of '96. and there was no
telling what might take place during
the next three years. but he thought the
tariff would cut no small figure.
Gov. Mckinley has promised to de-
liver speech before the Home Market
Club of Boston on the 25th inst. AS it
is the leading protectionist organ Of
New England, he stated that his subject
will probably be the tariff question. He
says he does not know how long he will
remain in town, and may leave within
forty-elght hours. possibly for Atlantic
City.
