 The indications are that the visit of Governor Mckinley to Hartford will be a great success. Telegrams have been pouring in on the committee on ar- arrangements of the Hartford Mckinley club in large numbers from prominent republicans In all sections of Connec- ticut to secure seats for the banquet There appears to be no doubt what ever but that the entire 500 seats will be disposed of at s4 apiece. It looks as if the banquet would be state ovation in honor of Ohio's great gov ernor The Foot Guard armory in Hartford, where the banquet will be held, is the most suitable place which could possibly be secured for it, as there will be ample room there to &C., commodate an immense audience be sides those at the banquet,
 Ex-Labor Commissioner S. M. Hotch- kiss of Hartford, who is first vice presi- dent of the Mckinley club, was in town yesterday to see what progress had been made here in regard to the recep- tion. He was greatly gratified at the action the Republican league took on Thursday evening, and he paid visit to General George H. Ford of the leagues committee on arrangements. He explained to the committee several details in regard to the arrangements which 1t will be necessary to make for those from this city who purpose to attend the banquet, which in masni- tude and importance promises to be one of the greatest political demonstrations in the late years.
 MT. Hotchkiss also visited Insurance Commissioner F. A. Betts, who took him in his carriage to visit many of the leading republicans of the city. He had a very gratifying interview with President Farnsworth of the Young Mems Republican club, who said that here was much enthusiasm being shown in the matter by the club he represented and that a large delegation from it would go up to Hartford next Tuesday on the special train.
 Governor Mckinley Is expected to be in Hartford to spend the greater part of Tuesday, In the afternoon he will visit the state capitol, where he will be received by Governor o. Vincent Coffin, the senate and the house of rep resentatives with special honors.
 At 7:S0 o'clock the guests are due to assemble for the banquet at the Foot Guard armory, which will present scene of brilliancy and beauty rarely seen. Besides the banqueters the gall leries will be filled with ladies-many of whom will be from among the fore most society ladies of the state, and among whom will be Mrs. O. V. Coffin, the wife of Governor Coffin.
 Thus Governor Mckinley will have an audience composed of a splendid rep resentation of the most prominent re- publicans of Connecticut. He will have the amplest opportunity for the display of his eloquence, as the time for his address will not be limited. After he has finished speaking Senators Joseph R. Hawley and Orville H. Platt will make addresses and they will in turn be followed by others.
 Everything is being done by the Mo club to make the demonstra- tion a success in every respect and the outlook at present is very favora,-
