CANTON (O), Sept. 6.-Major Nc
Kinley attended communion service at
the Methodist Church this morning, but
remained home all of the afternoon and
evening foregoing his customary drive.
Some young people dropped in in the
early evening and informally sang sew
eral hymns. The Major is exceedingly
fond of sacred music when it is well
rendered.
Major Mckinley received large
number of telegrams to-day. They came
from all parts of the country and indi-
cate great activity among Republicans
and Mckinley Democrats. One telegram
announces that the Republicans Of
Dayton, O., desire to visit Canton on
Saturday next, and another relates to
the visit Of the Commercial Mems Dem
ocratic Mckinley Club of Chicago This
organization, comprised of a thousand
commercial men who have never voted
any other than the Democratic ticket,
VIII be here on Saturday. The club was
organized six weeks ago and is growing
daily. It's members are all opposed to
free silver, and believe the election of
Mckinley will restore confidence and
improve business.
The following telegram was received
yesterday:
Mckinley: Mckinley Club Of Rose
burg, Or, 400 strong, send greetings.
Will labor to rank Oregon with Yer
mont L. LAUGHARY, President.
Major Mckinley shook hands with
more than 5000 citizens of Pennsylva-
MIA yesterday, and he is somewhat fa-
cd a n
ever to go to Zoar for few days rest
this week. He has been working very
hard since his nomination, and from
the latter part of this week up to the
very day of the election he. expects to be
occupied all the while and to have no
time for recreation.
Zoar is q quiet and quaint religious
community, where the people own the
property in common and are a law.
uuJo themselves. There is pleasant,
beautifully situated small hotel there,
which will be placed at the disposal of
Major Mckinley. The drive to Zoar is
pleasant one and is a little less than
twenty miles. Major Mckinley said to-
day that he would drive to Zoar. Mrs.
Mckinley will go with him, and prob
ably Captain and Mrs. Heistand. Cap
lar army, who is devoted to Major Nc
kinley, and who, at the latter's request,
is acting as his confidential Secretary
during his leave Of absence.
Major Mckinley does not expect to
remain longer than two or three days
in Zoar. as he has to receive some dele
cations the latter part of this week.
Delegations are coming in large num-
oil Of nd
no day goes by without bringing letters
of inquiry respecting dates for pro-
posed visits.
Major Mckinley said to the corre-
spondent of the United Associated
Presses to-day that he is always exceed
ingly glad to have delegations come to
Canton TO see him, but it would be more
convenient in many ways if it could be
arranged to have not more than two
parties Of visitors arrive on the same
day. Delegations which contemplate
coming to Canton should try to arrange
the time of their coming so as not to
bring visitors from too many places
here on the same day. This can be done
by telegraphing TO Canton and ascer-
tanning what dates are open.
Tuesday will be an interesting day
here. The editors of Ohio hold their
annual meeting Of their association in
Canton. They are to be addressed by
Charles Emory Smith and other news
paper editors. They viii also call upon
Major Mckinley, and he will make
speech to them. This will make the
third editorial association to call on Mr..
Mckinley since his nomination The
others were the Michigan and West Vir-
ginia associations.
