days in Cleveland attending it's centennial cele-
bration. Tonight he started for Chicago at va
to join Mrs. Mckinley at the home of her

He expects to remain week in Chicago. After
all the strain. excitement and labor Of the cam

the election. In which he has had scarcely a mo-
ment to himself. the President-elect. though In
excellent health. begins to feel that change and
rest would be grateful.
Major Mckinley left Canton in private car.
which he invited Charles G. Dawes. Captain II.
O. Heistand and newspaper friends to
| share with him. He expects to reach Chicago
at o'clock tomorrow morning. Indications
are not wanting that there will be disposition
on the part of certain Chicago people to lioniZe
and over-entertain the Major and Mrs. McKin
ley, but he has no intention II departing from
the purposes of his trip. which are rest and in
formal recreation among his friends. He is OPP
posed TO participating at this time In semi-pub-
lie public functions.
While he is in Chicago he will not wholly es-
cape from the politicians. There certain
men whom he will he glad to and talk with.
| and who can give him information he desires.
No doubt the Wisconsin friends Of Henry c.
Payne and friends OF other aspirants for the
Cabinet who live not a great distance from Chi
cago will take advantage OF the opportunity to
say something of a favorable nature about their
candidates
The Wisconsin Cabinet possibilities were dis
cussed somewhat in Canton to-day. John Hicks,
OF Oshkosh. Minister to Peru under the Harrison
Administration. and one OF the influential edi-
tors in his State. called on Major Mckinley He
said I'VE have two good men in Wisconsin
who suggested for the Cabinet. Ex-Governor
Hoard and Henry c. Payne Major Mckinley
would not make a mistake II he were to select
either OF them. Mr. Payne Is strong alert.
capable Of affairs. and an accomplished
politician In the best sense OF the tenn. He IL
the choice OF most OF the men OF the State who
take active interest in politics Governor
Hoard has great following among the farmers.
not only in his own bat In other States lie IL
successful practical farmer the editor OF an
agricultural paper and fine lecturer on agri-
cultural topics lie NOuld make an fNc'll'nl
Secretary Of Agriculture"
The report tina; Major Mckinley is giving def
mite attention TO his Inaugural address Is with
out foundation He Will not begin work on 1t Till
he has what the winter and Congress de-
velop. The business which he has in hand now Is
the formation OF a Cabinet and the organization
Of his Administration

ever the belief that Mark Hanna Will be one OF
Major McKinlcy's Cabinet officers

William Brookheld. OF New-York. formerly
Commissioner OF Public Works. called on Major
Mckinley this evening and talked for an hour
with him about NewYork men and matters
Mr. Brookheld defined his attitude frankly. Said
he There is but one avowed candidate for the
Senate. and that IL Mr.. Choaie. II Mr. Plat IL
or expects 10 be candidate he has not said 80.
He may not wish 10 go 10 the Senate. Indeed.
am told his ambition In that direction Is by no
means strong as II once
THE situation In NewYork State Will clear up
in good time. No one understands that situation
better than the Presldent-elect can say there
will be no trouble IN New-York over the patron
age. and no one Is going 10 say 10 the President
elect what he shall or shall not do In the matter
Of appointments. III" Will be greater power
than any man or body u men. and while he
plainly wants 10 secure unity ana harmony
within the party. he Is not going to secure II by
surrcndering to Plat any point. unless ! am
gravcy mistaken. Mr.. Plat Will get fair treat
ment but | am sure ~ will be given To under
stand that he has no right 10 expect more than
that. and that no am )un OF buster or threats
will avail The people are behind Major Mckin-
ley and they feel that he will deal with this and
all other fractional problems In fair but very
broad and firm and independent way.
