An Avalanche Of Letters Of congratuiation
and Confidence

and Confidence
CANTON, o., June Ex-Governor Nc
Kinley's congratulations today included
one from Theodore Roosevelt from his
summer home at Oyster Bay as follows:
MY Dear Mr.. President to-be: AS a
rule do not like to try prophecy, but
think it is safe to say New York will give
you the largest majority by far that she
has ever given presidential candidate"
Ex-Governor Russell of Massachu-
setts says:
mo man of all your admiring and liv-
ing supports more cordially and disin-
terestedly congratulates you and the
country than 1 do. I am your sin
cere political opponent, but not less your
cordial and sincere friend"
ExSecretary Of the Interior John W.
Noble writes:
Dear Major: Please accept my con-
gratulations and my hope that you may
be elected president. If we may redeem
Missouri at the same time it will be ad-
ditional cause for thanks and praise.
The party has justice with it and Is
thrice armed"
The secretary Of the National league
of the United States sent the following
letter:
Dear Mr.. Mckinley: Pursuant to a
| resolution unanimously adopted at a
meeting of our executive committee in
the city of ST. Louis, have the honor
of rendering you the best wishes of the
National Republican league, represent
ing a volunteer army of working Repub-
licans numbering more than two million
members, many of whom will cast their
first vote for Mckinley and Hobart.
(Signed) IN. J. BOWLING,
Secretary"
Ex-Secretary Of the Treasury Foster
wrote:
my Dear Governor: A little late but
none the less hearty are my congratula-
tons. Your success is the most remark
able in many respects in our history.
Everybody seems pleased and no one
doubts the result"
Senator Aldrich Of Rhode Island:
Dear Governor: I congratulate you
that you are to have the post Of honor
| and responsible leadership in the great
contest for protection and sound money.
believe the victory will be so emphatic
that the policy we contend for will be ac-
cepted without question for a generation
I know how thoroughly your work will
be a labor of love and how well it will
always be done"
Charles r. Douglas, son Of the late
| Frederick Douglas, wrote extending his
congratulations, with promise of untir-
| ing support until the close of the polls
on the day of election.
If Governor Mckinley decides to visit
| his wifes old home in Roxbury near
Boston, with Mrs. Mckinley, it will only
| be for short time and for rest. There
| has been no let up in the constant pill
| grimage to Canton, and in the pouring
| of correspondence since the return to
his home in January after the inaugura-
| ton of Governor Bushnell.
Governor Bushnell will probably not be
at Saturdays ratification meeting, but
| is expected to come with the Central
| Ohio demonstration next week.
Vice-Presidential Nominee Hobart
will not leave his New Jersey home for
Canton until after the formal notifica-
| tion ceremonies on next Monday. Gov
| ernor Mckinley has always had the
warmest admiration for Mr.. Hobart, al
| though they have never been intimate
acquaintances.
| The Sorosis Woman's reception to the
| governors wife, Mother Mckinley ard
| his sister, Miss Helen Mckinley, at the
| home of the late Jacob Miller, will ex..
clude all men but Governor Mckinley
| and the newspaper men who have cards
and credentials. There are cards or spec
| ial invitations to women but all are in
| vited through the press.
| The reception is to take place Friday
| afternoon and is intended to thoroughly
represent the women of Canton and
| Stark county.
| AT o'clock this evening the Cleveland
! and Canton committees for the ratifica-
| ton meetings Saturday, decided upon
| the speakers for the occasion. The pro-
| gram includes Congressman Taylor,
| Grosvenor, President Walcott of the
| Tippecanoe club, Cleveland; Hon. James
| Hoyt, who was the candidate for the
| Republican nomination for governor of
| Ohio, and one of the great orators of
| the West. The committee has also put
Governor Mckinley on the program for
| an address, but it Is not thought prob
| able that he will attend the meeting, al
| though he may respond to a call at his
| home later in the evening.
kilograms this afternoon announced
| that large delegation from Tuscarawas
| county will come on special train to
| Canton, July 5; also that the Glass
| Workers association and other labor un-
| ions from Massillon will call on July 1.
| Youngstown telegraphed that spec
| ial train there would join in the Cleve-
land ratification meeting.
| Word comes from 500 lawyers from
| Pittsburg and Allegheny county that
| they will come and shake hands with
| Governor Mckinley next Tuesday, after
which they will be the guests of the
Canton Outing club at Congress lake,
ten miles north of the city.
This afternoons mail brought many
more messages of congra tula ton to Gov
ernor Mckinley.
Senator-elect J. B. Foraker said: my
heartiest congratulations on your tri-
| umphant nomination and assurance that
you will be triumphantly elected
F. w. Wheeler & Co. of West Bay City,
Mich, wired: I'VE have launched the
steel steamships Queen of the Lakes
| and Lagonda, with the Mckinley and
Hobart flag flying. We never. had so
| successful launching since 1872
