stole NIorton's Speech.

II am happy to say that have had no
amusing campaign experiences, said
Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana, who is a
candidate for tine senate to succeed Voor-
hees. "Such experiences are usually more
amusing to the audience or other people
than they are to the person whom the joke
is on. remember story that is told OF
Oliver p. Morton and General George
Sheridan. The two orators Travelled to-
gether during one campaign and made
speeches jointly. First Morton would
speak, and then he would be followed by
Sheridan, who was one of the brightest
and wittiest orators have ever heard.
Sheridan had remarkable memory and
was very fond of practical joke. Morton
used to write his speeches and trusted
chiefly to his notes. During the campaign
he delivered the same speech good many
times, and Sheridan had become 80 familiar
with 1t that he knew 1t by heart. One day
when they emit before meeting Sheri-
dan, whose turn 1t was to first address the
audience, got up and recited Morton'a
speech word for word, to the dismay OF the
governor. When it was the latter's turn,
he did not know what to say and had to
plead illness. It was long time before
Morton forgave Sheridan the trick, and he
had to make solemn promise not to re-
peat it before Morton would agree to con
tinue their joint tour. Chicago Times

CANTON, o.. July 1o.-National Chair
man Mark A. Hanna, Hon. John Milhol-
land. of New York, and ex-Congressman
Farquhar, of Buffalo, reached Canton this
afternoon and were met at the station by
Governor McKinley's carriage. Arriving at
McKinley's house, they found the Governor
receiving telegraphic reports of the second
ballot of the Chicago convention. The men
all congratulated Governor Mckinley on
the splendid health he appeared to be en-
joying and passed the compliments of the
day before going to the dining room for
lunch. 1t was supposed that matters politi-
cal might be given consideration before
the visitors left the city, although to night
1t is said no authoritative statements can
be made as to any further decision con-
corning the makeup of the executive COM
mittee.
Governor Mckinley was visibly affected
to-day when he received the news of the
death of Frank Hurd. of Toledo, his Old
associate in the national Congress. lie sent
the following letter to the Blade, Tole-
do, O.:
"I am deeply panied to hear of the death

The news of Bryan's nomination was re-
ceived with very little excitement in Cam
ton. This all the more noticeable from
the fact of the scenes OF wild enthusiasm
which prevailed here during the ST. Louis
convention, and for two weeks afterwards
Governor Mckinley was at his home talk
ing with National Chairman Hanna at the
time one of the household carried to him
q telegraphic bulletin announcing the re-
suit. Governor Mckinley did not care to
make any talk for publication. Shortly
after the news was received he was in re-
ceipt of numerous kilograms OF congra tula-
ton. He entered his surrey and took the
reins to drive Messrs. Hanna, Farquhar
and Milholland to the station where they
