CANTON. Ohio, August u, 1896
1t is pretty generally understood here and
! III Colt mbus. Ohio. that the Ohio sound
money democrats will lead the fight at the
i"oiahapohs convention next month to ,e-
cure an lndorsement of Major Mckinley
instead OF nominating Cen Bragg Of Wis
consin for President and Gen. Buckner of
kentucky for Vice President, as the slate
Is made up now. The democrats of Ohio
VINO are loyal to the honest dollar believe
, 'iidt thls Is no year for sentiment They
feel with Bourke Cochran that the gravity
, OF the situation demands concerted action
on the part of the gold men, and many
prominent followers Of jefferson and Jack
son openly assert that it would be nothing
less than criminal at this time TO divide the
lorces Oh the gold people. So the delegates
TO the indianapolis convention from Major
Mckinley's state, headed by Congressman
Outhwi.ite, will lead the fight for an IN
dCrsemcnt of Mckinley. Word comes that
majority of the democrats of Pennsylva-
MA, Indiana and Kentucky who will be at
li.dianapolis will take the same course
Inose democratic papers that are con-
tlnually harping on the strain that before
ence to the issues of the hour he must first
consult National Chairman Hanna are
barking up the wrong tree. If the truth
were known. it Is the other way. Major
connected by special telegraph wire with
the headquarters in New York and Chi
cs-go, and in addition to this he has a long
distance telephone connection In his house.
MT. Hanna never takes an important step
In the management of the campaign with
out consulting Major McKinly The two
are working in absolute harmony. Not
day passes but what Major Mckinley has
two or three dozen long dispatches from
Mr.. Hanna; and each evening" about 9
o'clock, when 1t is possible. Mr.. Hanna
calls the major up on the telephone and
gives him the very latest news of the days
developments.
Mrs. Mckinley.
Mrs. Mckinley. while not taking such a
public interest in her husbands campaign
as Mrs Bryan is IN that Of her husband,
is just closely In touch with her hus-
hand in his political life as is the lady of
Nebrask About o'clock each morning
Maj. Mckinley takes Ills place at his desk
In his library, and with his secretary aud
stenoSraphers. devotes two or three hours
to his enormous mail. Mrs. Mckinley dur
ing this time, with her fancy work in hand
occupies a large rocking chair near the
major. Any letter or telegram of import
ance is shown first to her. and frequently
her advice as to the reply is asked. In
variably when a delegation comes to Can
ton to pay Its respects to the major. Mrs.
Mckinley occupies a chair Just inside the
doorway few feet from where the major
speaks on the veranda. He never begins
to speak until Mrs Mckinley Is in her ac-
crstomed place.
