TOLEDO. Feb 2a-The talk OF making Gov
Mckinley the Republican candidate for Con.
gress in his oil district IL simply nonsense
The principal object OF the boom Is to blind a
few Of the enemies OF the Governor to hin real
intentions. Not even in the ralmiest days Of
JOHN Sherman's machine has there been an
organization in Ohio approaching in strength

Presidential nomination. A seat in Cor Cress
Is no part Of that programme. Mckinley
Is aiming higher. All winter long he
has been Glc;atin: a policy to the Legis!a-
ture which will terminate in roClectin 2

General Assembly. and when that Is done the
Governor expects to succeed tho Hon. Calvin
