.~..-.ls,5 O.. July 25.-Maj. Mckinley
al Mark Hanna. chairman of the repub-
60 .,-,rnittee. have been in conference
-. of the day and evening at Mr.. Han
49,. b..suffful suburban home on the Lake
-.5s Mai Mckinley returned from Can
,,r last evening and was at once driven
-, ,r- rJanna's home. Although Maj. Nc
VirIev has been IN Cleveland most OF the
v.a< and had been a guest all of that time
o., Mfr Hanna's house. the candidate and
tis manager have had no opportunity to
5fs.sss the forthcoming campaign.
Mai Mckinley said to-day: Il came back
IN cleveland because my many engage
rsnts during the centennial exercises
made il fmpossIble for me to have a talk
with Mr.. Hanna on the campaign and its
MANAGEMENT. Indeed. we have had but
ons extended talk since my nomination.
and now | find that there are scores OF
matters which demand attention and dis
cgssion with Mr. Hanna.
The campaign has been outlined In
general way by Mr.. Hanna and his com
r,irfae They do not know what turn
affairs may take in reference to another
democratic ticket and of necessity their
actions are somewhat limited in scope and
signifcance BIZ the imperfectly developed
situation which confronts them. Under
the circumstances the most that can be
done is 10 have campaign literature OF an
informing character quickly prepared ana
widely circulated.
senator sherman, who was here thres
days last week to participate in the cen~
teuui8l exercises, is somewhat alarmed
a. the manifestation of silver sentiment
iu certain sections and communities. He
told Mai Mckinley that mis- voluminOds
correspondence was laden with inquiries
about the money question, and that ne
was 0f the opinion that most active meas
ures to- combat the silver sentiment ought
10 De taken at once. He urges both Mr..
Hanna and Mai. Mckinley to have the
Speaking campaign begin at once, ana
said he was ready and willing to take
the stump at a moments notice. Other
republicans of prominence, such as Sena-
Tor HaWlCy and eX-GOV. Merriam Of Min
nesota have expressed themselves in pret-
ty much the same manner to both Maj
Mckinley and Mr., Hanna.
Mai Mckinley and his manager have
reached the conclusion that the best re-
suits this year will be attained by hold
ing a large. ipdeed ah uneommonly large
number % political meetings 1t is be-
lieyed that il will be difficult to get peo-
pie to read heavy congressional speeches
ON the money question, or other long
documents. on the other hand there Is
abundant evidence Of a lively demand for
clear crisp, simple talks on the money
question, ana for short articles and leaf
leJs bearing upon it. In short, this year,
Jne committees of both parties will un-
Gou9teuly spend their money to keep hun

instead of sending out millions of dreary
documents as has frequently been done
