May Take the Stump-NotiliCatiOn Com
 mittee Visits Canton To-day,
 Canton, O.. June 2S.-The city has witnessed good many demonstrations of an enthusiastic nature since Major Mckinley was nominated and there have been thousands of strangers with in her gates. Men of wide reputation in politics, statecraft and business have called upon the candidate to pay their respects or to keep themselves well within McKinleys field of vision. All the demonstrations and visitors up to this time, however, have been of an unofficial, if not informal character.
 Tomorrow the advent of the notifi- cation committee, composed of one member from each state and territory, selected by the national convention for the purpose of conveying to the candi- date official notice of his nomination, will be an event of more significance and importance than the coming of all of the other visitors and delegations which Major Mckinley has received. The chairman, Senator John NJ Thurs ton of Nebraska, who was the perma-
 
 tiOn, will be spokesman for the com mittee tomorrow. His speech will in diCate in a brief way the lines upon which the campaign will doubtless be conducted by the republican manag- CTS.
 Governor McKinley's speech in reply to MT. Thurston will be scanned with interest. It will not be long and he will not attempt to discuss in q significant or elaborate way the dominant issues of the campaign. Nothing in the way of an exhaustive formal utterance may be expected until he publishes his let ter of acceptance, which will be in a, month or six weeks. That is the usual time which a candidate allows to elapse between the date of his official nOtifiCa- tion and the publication of his official acceptance of the nomination. Major Mckinley knows there is an abundance of time before the election in Novem- Der for the discussion of all political questions of moment and he does not wish the campaign to. commence too soon and too vigorously
 The publication of the letter of ac- ccptancc really opens the camDaign. Before the major gives his letter to the public he will probably make a short visit to the seaside. He said this morn ing that under no circumstances would he go to Newport or any other fash ionable resort. He wants rest and inn munity from visitors when he takes his vacation, and for that reason will eith- CT spend a fortnight with his cousin, General Osborne. at RoXhury, Mass, or make a tour of the lakes on one of NJ. Hanna's boats. Some of his friends are urging him to adopt the latter course.
 Major Mckinley has received up- wards of a hundred invitations from friendS asking him to spend his vara- tion With them, and many handsome country places at the seaside and in the mountains have been put at his dis posal. but he has declined them all and it is likely. if the weather remains cool, that he will not leave Ohio this sum mer When the campaign is well un- der way and q host of minor candi- dates are in the field. each one hoping or expecting to carry his district or his state the demands upon Major Me Kinley for speech making will be ur- gent and frequent.
 Several republicans of influence and high standing have talked with the major upon this point, and some have endeavOred to secure from him a prom isc to make speeches in their states Major Mckinley has not committed himself, nor has he said he would not yield to their demands upon his strength and time. He prefers to re- main in Canton during the campaign, and at present his close friends incline to the belief that this will be the wiser course to pursue. But conditions may change and if they do, and it seems best for Major Mckinley to take the stump, he will do so.
 The major has excellent health, good appetite. sleeps well and does not worry. He will be able to take the stump at any moment and can sustain himself for weeks if necessary, speak ing as often as a dozen or twenty times a day If Major Mckinley makes a speaking tour it is safe to say that among the states upon his itinerary will be Indiana. Illinois. Michigan, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska.
