CANTON, OHIO, Nov. This has been
lively Saturday for Major Mckinley.
He has received half dozen small dele
cations and one large one, talked with a
hundred people and shaken hands with q
thousand; but made no speeches. The
day closed with jollification. lllumina-
ton was general along the lines OF march
and the parade was reviewed by Major
Mckinley as it passed his house. Five
thousand people from Alliance, Massillon,
Cleveland and other cities in the northern
part OF Ohio participated.
Major Mckinley decided this evening to
remain in Canton till Thursday next. He
came to this decision at the suggestion of
Mrs. McKinley's physician, who said
that it would not be advisable for her 10
travel before the middle of the week. The
big delegation of the day was composed of
the employees of the New Philadelphia
Iron and Steel Company of New Philadel-
phia, Ohio. The men called at the Nc
Kinley residence at o'clock this after
noon. There were 600 men in the party
and many of them brought along their
