the PRESIDENT. r.eLEcv1
Mas Another Quist Sunday at Homs-aars
mckinley Much Better.

Canton. Ohio. Nov. 15.-President.
Elect Mckinley passed another very Quiet
F1nads Presidsnt Hayes. came iG from cleveland;
This morning, and spent the day at the
Mckinley residence. Major Mckinley ,k Y
looked the picture Of good health, hit. this 5
small group of friends in his library.
Mrs. McKinley,s health has been SO iar
restored thats she was able to go DRIVING
for half an hour this afternoon. Major ;lo
and Captain Hoheistand attended morn
ing services at the First Methodist Epis-
copal church.
Although various newspapers have
published complete cabinet outfits for
the incoming administration, it is safe
to assert that none of them have been
built upon anything resembling an au-
thoritative announcement from Major
Mckinley or those who are closest to
the President elect.
1t is evident that the President elect
has not made up his mind as to the
formation Of his cabinet, nor even de-
cided upon the geographical allotment
Of the places therein. 1t is further ap-
parent that Major Mckinley will not
consider cabinet candidates until after
his return from his visit to Cleveland.
he President-elect and Mrs. Mckinley
will leave for Cleveland, Wednesday
morning.
1t may be set down as certain that,
lnless the unexpected happens. Ben
iamin Harrison will not be urged to
axe the portfolio of state in Major Nc
<inley's cabinet. Gen. Harrison is not
hought to desire this appointment. and
,elef here is that the President-elect
has about decided to offer it to some
me else.
A friend of Major Mckinley said, to-
hight, that Senator Sherman undoubted-
y expressed the desire of most OF Ma
lor McKinley's closest advisers when
le said that Congress should pass the
Oingley bill. this winter. The new ad-
ninistration will not care to be saddled
With an extra session of Congress, and
Lajor Mckinley will have quite enough
o occupy him in organizing his ad-
ninistration.
Major Mckinley's advices from
reXas indicate an, increase in the Re
publican vote in the state of over 100
Ter cent. In Navarro. county the home
# Roger O. Mills. the great tariff re-
ormer. Major Mckinley secured
,lurality of 122 votes. That county
heretofore has been overwhelmingly
Democratic.
Henry Clews of New York writes
fajor Mckinley: The magnetic eff
ect of your election has already ad-
anced the price of securities dealt in
:, the New York Stock Exchange
Il
mount of securities dealt in the
ifferent local markets throughout the
ountry. Spot cash wheat has ad-
anced in Chicago and New York |

loney in New York from 100 per cent |
er annum to per cent. and time

carcely any terms. is now being free
offered at from 80 days to a year at

"A general shutdown was planned |
y manufacturers in the event of your
efeat. whereas now, as the result of
our election. increased labor is being |
nployed. and machinery heretofore |
lie, caused by the prolonged bad |
mes. is starting up again with re-
ewed vigor in all directions. The ed !
cation in the fundamental laws of
nance which our people have received |
I the past campaign, places us in a |
nique position. The result of build |
lg up credit and business upon such |
foundation must surely be such as
, make a period of prosperity as has
ever before been approached.
United States Senator Wolcott of
'oorado. writes: Il cannot but be-
eve that the time will come when our
eople will realize that the prosperity
the whole country and the advance
lent of the interests of Colorado as
ell, lay only in your election.
