CANTON (O.), June 26.-CharleS En-
ory Smith of Philadelphia arrived to-
day and had long talk with Major Nc
kinley. Many phases of the campaign
and the method of conducting it were
discussed
c. l.. Magee of Pittsburg came in dur
ing the morning. He thinks the tariff
rather than the sound money question
will be the effective issue among the
great working classes of Pennsylvania,
and predicts a larger majority for Nc
Kinley in the State than was ever given
a Presidential candidate. He believes
the money question will be potent in the
East, and that the platform adopted by
the Republicans will make it impossible
for the Democrats to carry New York
with free silver candidate
The reception this afternoon by the
ladies of Canton to Major and Mrs. Nc
Kinley and the venerable mother of the
Major was largely attended. For more
than two hours an unbroken stream of
women passed in and out. 1t was a
good-natured, smiling crowd of all sorts
and conditions of life and it numbered
5000. The light of the day was ex-
cluded and incandescent burners gave
IOitH d DldZc VI y. Inc reception
commenced with a speech. 1t was made
by Mrs. Alice Dannos Jones and was
delivered before the doors were opened.
The assembled hosts of women had to
listen to the speech or leave the re-
ception. Major Mckinley in a dozen
words thanked the ladies for their pres
erce, and with his wife and mother re-
ceived the women of his town. Major
Mckinley stood at the left of his wife
and made the introductions.
evening a delegation of cheerful
shouters from Norwalk, some 800 in
number, called upon Major Mckinley
and trampled the. last spots of verdure
from his beloved lawn. Major McKin-
ley took much pride in his lawn, and
counted 1t the most beautiful in Canton.
Tonight 1t is a wreck, as there is no
health in it. But he bears his loss with
a becoming hunor. The Norwalk Re
publioan Club was introduced by ex-
Speaker Laylin of the Ohio House of
Representatives, who dwelt upon the
fact that Huron County has been a
strong Republican. county for forty
years.
In response Major Mckinley said in
part: mo man anywhere throughout
the country doubts where the Republi-
can party stands to-day. 1t stands for
reunited country; it stands for the
American factory, the American farmer,
the American fireside, American labor
er, and American wages and American
prosperity. To unite every part of our

SHREWD POLITICAL MOVE.
CLEVELAND, June 26.-An intimate
friend of Major Mckinleys said to-
day: "The appointment of Mark Hanna
as campaign manager was about the
shrewdest political move Mckinley has
made in all his career. Hanna not only
devoted his entire time to the cause,
but he contributed freely toward its
expenses A canvass extending over
several years is an expensive undertak-
ing, and the money had to come from
somewhere.
Mr.. Hanna has said recently that the
canvass cost him 100000. OF that
amount S3S,OO0 was contributed by
friends of Mckinley throughout the
country. AS one of the items of the
expenses it may be said the cost of
keeping the friends of the cause posted
on its progress was $500 1t was
done by mailing 1000 copies daily of
one of the local official organs to the
convention delegates and leading Re-
publicans in all parts of the country
That was done for several months, and
was but single feature of one of the
rIost perfect political organizations
ever made in a political campaign
