CANTON, Nov. 12.-Among the many
thousands of messages received today
by Prcsident-elect Mckinley, the most
important was one from Hon. Joseph
W. Bahcock, chairman of the National
congressional committee, Washington,
d. c., saying:
Il have the congressional campaign
wound up, the bills all paid, and a little
balance left in the hands of the treas
urer. We have elected POI sound money
Republicans. two sound money Demo-
Gratis. 145 Democrats and Populists, and
six free silver Republicans, with three
districts in doubt. one from Wyoming
and two from South Dakota"
Hon. James Il. Campbell, eX-Demo-
cratic governor of Ohio, when Major
Mckinley defeated in 1891, said "Inas-
much as Chairman Jones gave it up,
presume Democrat may now present
his most cordial congratulations with
out fear of party discipline. Both Mrs.
Campbell and myself join our many
personal friends in wishing you happy
sojourn in the White House, and long
life and prosperity thereafter"
Major Mckinley had hundreds of call
ers today. The hotels are crowded with
people who came to stay over night.
The Pennsylvania morning train
brought Secretary Osborne of New
York of the Republican national COM
mittee. He came from The eastern me-
tropolis with National Chairman Han
ma as far as Alliance, twenty miles east
Of VIII In
DIVORCES. Mr.. Hanna continued to his
home in the Forest city. Mr.. Osborne,
who has been in the Mckinley campaign
for more than year past, spent sew
eral hours in a private family room
with Major Mckinley.
Then the president was photo
graphed with the G. A. r. committee
who received the confederate delegation
in Canton. This finished, he chatted
with friends in the library, and at .
o'clock went up to lunch with Mr.. Os-
borne.
The postponement of the run to Cleve-
land until next week, as indicated last
night, will not allow MAJOR Mckinley
to be at the banquet rendered Chair
man Hanna on Monday.
Tne numerous reports Wnlcn nave
been sent out from Canton relative to
probable appointments to cabinet posi-
lions and secretaryships are said to be
entirely conjectural. 1t is not believed
that a single decisive step has been
taken on any important matter of that
nature.
Major Mckinley and National Repub-
lican Secretary Osborne late this even
ing walked to the residence of the
mother of the president-eiect, about a
mile from his home.
Gen. Osborne is a citizen of Boston
now, but formerly lived in Ohio, and
Mother Mckinley was delighted to see
him. They We're joined at dinner by

rick of Cleveland joined them in the
dining room with Captain H. Heistand,
one of the Mckinley household, from
Columbia, and made up a merry party.
In the evening, in the cosy library, a
bright open CRATE fire shone upon a
group of friends, who talked over cam
paign events with Major Mckinley I'M
til after 10 o'clock. National Commit
teeman Scott firmly believes that the
south is permanently divided politi-
