CANTON, OHIO, Oct. 1S.-When Major
Mckinley looked out of his window this
morning he saw the first snow of the sea-
son and later in the day he observed that
it was fortunate thing the storm pre-
vailed to-day instead of yesterday, when
there were nearly 25, 900 strangers in the
city.
Major Mckinley is beaming with good
health and good humor to-day and has
thoroughly recovered from the fatigue in
cident to the arduous labors OF Saturday.
He went to church this morning and the
veteran Union generals went with him.
He walked home from church in the
whirling snow under an umbrella with
General AIger on one side and General 0.
o. Howard on the other.
The train bearing the Union generals
arrived early this morning. On it were
General and Mrs. R. A. AIger, General
Sickles, General Thomas A. Stewart OF
PENNSYLVANIA, General o. o. Howard,
General George A. Marden of Massachu-
setts, Corporal James Tanner, Major J.W.
Burt OF Illinois, Colonel G. o. Hopkins of
Detroit and Colonel L n. Walker of
Indianapolis. The whole party dined
with Major Mckinley this afternoon.
They leave for trip through Eastern
Ohio in the m morning, after holding meet
ing here at 80 o'clock.
General Alger said this evening: ave
have had enormous meetings everywhere,
have visited 210 towns and travelled about
5000 miles. Major Mckinley will be
elected and his popular vote will be sur
prisingly large"
Major Mckinley has heart great deal
OF encouraging news to-day, and it does
not all come from politicians. E. o. Nc
Cormick, passenger traffic manager of the
Big Four system, is one of the most widely
acquainted business men in the Central
and border Southern States. He said to-
day:
Il have talked with fully a hundred
well-informed men, representing all shades
of political faith and thought, within the
week, and have been over considerable
portion of the country. A great change
has taken place in public sentiment since
the first of September in Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Kentucky, Iowa and Mime
sofa. l have taken pains to discuss the
situation with many workingmen in many
places and l find the silver sentiment
everywhere declining with surprising
rapidity. The feeling that Mckinley is
likely to win obtains in the business
world and the railroads are feeling the
evidence of returning confidence in very
considerably increased freight and pas
senger traffic"
