CANTON, Nov. 5.-Major Mckinley
rose early this morning, appearing to
have entirely recovered from the intense
physical and nervous strain of the last
two days. This morning he counted the
latest returns and private dispatches,
and found in them nothing to change
his former views of the situation. Con-
gratulations poured in last night and
today.
Two members of President Harrisons
cabinet, Secretary Benjamin F. Tracy
and Secretary John w. Noble, sent
hearty wishes the latter by letter. Sir
Henry Irving cabled from London:
MY most true and respectful congratu.
lations to you, sir, on the splendid hon.
or conferred on you."
Mr.. Brice telegraphed from Newport
congratulations from your friend, the
enemy"
From his ranch came word from Buf-
falo Bill, overland by pony relays and
thence by wire, conveying good wishes.
Russell Harrison, Lemuel Quigg and
ex-senator Dawes were among the many
others telegraphing congratulations.
Among the late messages to Major
Mckinley are those of General Schoield,
General Longstreet, General Alger
Bishop Newman, Methodist, N. Y; Bsh-
op Leonard, Ohio; Bishop Arnett, Meth
odist, Ohio Governor Cheney. Ver-
mont; Senators Lodge, Culom and Nc
Bride.
Archbishop Ireland of st. Paul sent
| a congratulatory message.
by Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph H. Smith, took
his surrey for a drive to his mothers
home. He wore his heavy ulster but
toned to his chin. Groups on the walk
gave him cheer as he passed, to which
he bowed acknowledgment.
Some of the many flowers sent in were
carried along for the aged mother and
for some of Mrs. McKinley's sick friends.
Four bicycle riders who left Indianap-
oils Tuesday night as soon as assurance
was given of McKinley's election, ar
rived this morning. They had ridden
night and day along the muddy roads
and their uniforms were coated with
mud. The major saw til I'm and received
! a congratulatory message from large
indianapolis establishment
The information from Washington as
to favorable treasury conditions made
most favorable impression here
Jacob Rosenberg, president of the
Wool Mems association, today sent the
following message to Major Mckinley
from San Francisco:
Hon. William Mckinley, president
eject of the United States: The wool
men of California send their congratu-
lations."
President-elect Mckinley tonight sent
the following dispatch to Mark Hanna
at New York:
CANTON, Nov. S.
To Hon. M. A. Hanna, Waldorf hotel,
New York: Your telegraphic message
announcing the result of the election
has been received. l beg you to accept
my hearty thanks for your great SER
vices in the cause of sound money and
protection throughout the campaign
now closed and gloriously won. They
were most general and effective, and
will receive the warm appreciation of
your countrymen everywhere. 1 will
be pleased to have you convey to your
associates Of the national committee
my high appreciation Of their efficient
services The people in their majesty,
ignoring party lines, have declared their
| detestation of reputation and dishonor,
in whatever specious guise they may be
presented. They have with the same
| mighty power affirmed their devotion
to law and order and their undertaking
respect for justice and the courts. They
have proclaimed the unfaltering deter
mination to support and uphold the
constitutional authorities of the coun-
:sy, and thereby have given new vigor
and strength to our free institutions
They have, indeed, again consecraeed
themselves to country, and baptized the
cherished ordinances of free govern
| ment with a new and holy patriotism.
The victory Is not to party or section,
but of and for the whole American peo-
pie. Not the least of the triumphs of
the election is the obliteration of Sec
tional lines in the republic. We have
demonstrated to the world that we are
reunited people, in purpose as in name.
We have manifested in the great cause
the spirit of fraternity and brotherhood
that should always characterize our
| common and equal citizenship, and have
proved conclusively that in a country
of equal privileges and equal opportu-
nifty, the insidious doctrine of hate or
of class or sectional distinctions can
not prevail. Let us, as Americans,
straightway devote ourselves to the up
building of America; to the peace, honor
and glory of our common country. Party
| dissensions should no longer divide or
rack the public mind nor the zeal or tenn
per of either side deter any citizen from
patriotic devotion to the good of all.
(Signed) WILLIAM MKINLEY.
Major Mckinley this afternoon de-
termined to take trip to Cleveland
within day or two. Mrs. Mckinley ac-
companies him. They go for much need
ed rest. The reports that cabinet slate
makers were busy throughout the coun-
try caused much good natured comment

! that all cabinet comment Is purely con-
| jectured. Any personal inclination Ma :.
jor Mckinley may have toward any par
ticular men have not been communi-
