the Bible Text "Make Your
Election Sure"

CANTON, o., June 21.-Sunday has
brought temporary peace and quiet to
the citizens of Canton. Aside from the
profuse decorations that greet the eye
on every hand, there has been no sign
Of the stirring scenes Of the past week.
1t was bright and beautiful this morn
ing when Governor Mckinley and Mrs.
General Russell Hastings, accompanied
by Captain Heistand, the majors right
hand mar, drove to the First M. E.
church, handsome structure two
blocks from the public square. Gov
ernor Mckinley, thirty years ago, was
superintendent of the Sunday school of
this church, while his wife was Sunday
school eacher In the First Presbyterian
church, two blocks west, in which they
were married tweL ty-nine years ago.
The church was crowded. Governor
McKinley's fellow church members
gave him warm greeting. e. P. Ed
munds chose for his text, Make your
calling and election sure, for If ye do
these things We shall never fall" DR..
Edmunds made his sermon personally
appliable, ard he referred in happy
manner to the result of the st. Louis
convention early last week.
AT the conclusion of the services Gov.
Mckinley gave his arm TO his aged
mother, who, at eighty-seven, Is reg
ular church-goer, and escorted her to
her modest carriage ait the church
door. His wife's health does not per-
nit her attendance at church. Today,
however, she listened to the services
by telephone. This afternoon Gov. Nc
Kinley and wife, accompanied by Gen.
and Mrs. Hastings, took a short drive.
They just escaped terrific wind and
rain storm which destroyed many
handsome decorations, blew down
trees, and burned out trolley motors.
Postmaster Monnott has had a large
drawer, as large as several ordinary
compartments, set apart for the pres
idential nominees mail. Today, when
Fred the colored attendant at the Mar
ket street home, went for the mall, he
found more than he could carry, and
had to hall carriage to come home in.
AS he undertook to gather the tightly
tied bundles of letters In his arms and
step from the carriage to the stone
curb his strength failed him. A thou
sand Of the letters and more went to
the pavement and he had to make two
trips to carry them into the house, and
when they were sorted and the COVER
nor had opened them, among them was
