A CANTON MAN ON A CANTON CANDIDATE

Special to Chicago Record
Thomasville, Ga, March 1S.-Joseph
Medill, editor of the Chicago Tribune
and Governor Mckinley had long inter
view here yesterday 1t was an event of
national Importance, but it seemed to give
both gentlemen great pleasure. "We
didn't talk much politics." said the gov
ernor afterward. "Our conversation was
mostly in the way of "reminiscences. Mr.
Medill has strong grain of sentiment and
a remarkable memory"
81 have known William Mckinley from
lad" said Mr.. Medill. "Hc lives in
my old town where l lived before went
to Chicago, and we are curiously connected
| by marriage. Mrs, Mckinley is the
daughter of the widow Of my brother
James, by her second marriage re-
member Mckinley when he came home
| from the war and when he decided to set
tie down in Canton and practice law
The more enterprising young men were
going west, and that city was pretty well
stripped of Republican lawyers; therefore
presume he thought the prospects were
better at home than he would find else
where, l recognized then that there was
good stuff in him.
| ~ next saw him in Washington during
the forty fourth congress l spent u part
of the winter of 1867 in Washington and

saw him almost every day and was very
much impressed with his abilities, his
strong character, his studiOus habits and
industry and the unusual degree of CON
fidence and influence which for new
member he seemed to command among
| his associates. "
"Do you consider Mckinley available
presidential timberY'
Mckinley has many strong points as
candidate he Is known to everybody and
there will be no question among the dele
gates as to his identity and personality.
He is recognized by everybody as a man
of great ability and absolute integrity and
as "a careful student and thinker. He has
the unusual advantage of both Legislative
and executive experience, which / believe
can be said of no other candidate
| "Ae has the advantage also of power
full state behind him, but at the same
time he will have To carry the response
bility of the tariff act of 1890, which cost
the Republican party two disastrous de-
feats, including the presidency defeats
that can be attributed distinotively and
directly TO the unpopularity of that legis-
lation, and before the American people
will permit him to receive the nomination
lie win be required to disavow any policy
that may lead to the restoration of the
duties imposed by that act, or any revis-
ion of the present tariff for a general In
crease of duties. OF course, the present
tariff wi ] have to be eyised. 1t contains
many mistakes
"It is not difficult for the manufactur-
crs to adjust themselves to the present
tariff. They can do that great deal
easier than they can stand another agi-
ation and a long period of uncertainty
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1895-03-21

The manufacturers have already been able
to adjust themselves to the present tariff,
and have suffered less than the working
men, because the latter have been com
PEELED to stand practically all the losses
occasioned by the reduction Of duties
81 believe the workingmen will insist,
sooner or later, upon partial restoration
of some Of the old rate schedules after
prices have been fully re-established,
rather than suffer the permanent rcduc-
tion of pay that seems inevitable other
wise. Whatever revision Of the tariff may
be made when the republicans return to
power will be a matter of much greater
Importance to the worllingmcn than to
the manufacturer.
"What do you think of McKinlcv's pros.
pectsY"
Governor Mckinley has got to contest
the nomination with two strong men, ~
replied Mr.. MCdill cone of them is Mr.
Reed, who apparently has behind him
what Mr.. Blaine was never able TO obtain,
the united support of New England He
also will have good share Of the New
York delegation and is apparently strong

conspicuous official and political position
in the country, which is both an advantage
and danger.
"All of the candidates will have power
full and active supporters among the dele
gates, among the men who select the dele
gates and among the press, and they will
be compelled to recognize and acllnowl-
edge the strength and the distinction and
the claims of each other. Both of the
other candidates as well as Mckinley are
more or less responsible for the tariff act
of 1890, although it bears Mckinley S
name We all know how much interest
Mr.. Reed took in its preparation and pas
sage, Mr.. Allison was member of the
committee that reported 1t i'm the senate

secure the nomination If 1t were under

that legislation.

BY THE WAY.

The i'll of wearing big sleeves and hat was
more forcibly than elegantly demonstrated at
the Grand one evening last week. A splendid
ly dressed woman repeatedly occupied three
seats which were hardly visible for crino-
lined sleeves. Some little unfortunate imme-
diately behind the aforesaid individual re-
marked about the voluminous di-
mensions of the apparel before
her. All went we'll, however, until the
amusement session adjourned, when further
remarks uttered by a bystander, so aggravated
the woman with the sleeves that she turned,
and with fierce imprecation, delivered a
singing blow upon the face of her tormentor. 1t
seems to be unsafe to demonstrate against the
obstructing appurtenances to the modern thea
ter going woman for, as young lady put 1t
commenting upon the occurrence, beneath
giggot sleeves and a be-birded hat you may
find the qualities of Vesuvius and Hercules
combined"

Speaking of the public library one of Can
toms most cultured young ladies recently said:
81 hope when the library is moved into the
new odd Fellows temple provisions will be
made for keeping it open. l think the rooms
should be open from o'clock in the morning
until $3.50 at night. Now they are closed
entirely at noon just when people might have
a minutes time to dropin and read or exchange
books and then they are closed again at A
o'clock" There has been quite little com
plant on this score. A young lady teacher
who has a school quite a distance from the
city hall says it is almost impossible for teachers
to get to the library after school closes before
the doors are locked.

REFUSED TO WORK.

The Minglewood miners at North Lawrence
are still out Mine owner Mullins notified
them to go to work Monday or remove their
tools but they did not begin operations and if
the order holds good none will be allowed to
work now if they desire and the mine will be
closed temporarily While there is general
dissatisfaction with the state of affairs between
the miners and operators, the real cause of the
present strike is that miner Simon objected to
working in room where the coal was but
three feet in thickness.
