DATES ADDRESS TO HIS CANTON FRIENDS
AND NEIGHBoRs
No review of Major McKinley's life in Canton
since his domination for the Presidency would
he complete without more extended reference
to the brilliant series Of occasional speeches
which h has been called upon to make in re-
Spouse to ever varied and recurring campaign
demands. During his career in Congress and in
his long and effective service on the stump the
Republican nominee had constantly shown a
disposition to sacrifice to clearness cogency and
directness OF argument any mere graces and re-
fnements of oIato-y The note Of the true
orator-sincerity Of feelng-he struck unfailing
ly; and his platform style was always admirably
simple. lucid and effective. Strength rather
than felicity OF expression was his real aim. how
ever and he rarely attempted in his speeches
in Congress or on the hustings to rise to that
level Of finish and smoothness set 10y orators of
the more artificial and fastidious school. Major
Mckinley always appealed in his political arSu-
ments TO the intelligence Of the masses Of the
people. and his oratory became. Of necessity.
succinct. plain and unVarnished. but at the
same time extraordinarily convincing and in
cisive
GROWTH OF RICHER STYLE
In the addresses which ne has made to the
successive delegations which have visited him
in Canton his style of former years seems 10
have taken on an added smoothness and rich
ness The old clearness. Vividness and force re-
main. but mingled with them are newer and
more embellishing qualities. In elevation, dig
nifty and genuine mpressiveness the Republican
candidate for the Presidency has always held
high rank among American orators; and his
speeches Of the last two months have easily sus-
tanned this established reputation. But they do
even more than this. For in pith. point and
erigrammatic raciness as well as in felicity of

IONDONS LORD MAYOR.
When Arrayed In state Robes Ills Glory
 Is Like Unto Solomon's-

Is Like Unto Solouons
 The fountain of municipal honor in England undoubtedly springs from the Guildhall, London, which justly claims to be accounted the most ancient of our municipal halls. says the London Telegraph, seeing that the Iord mayors of the last eight centuries are with justice assumed to have had prototypes in the Roman prefect and the Saxon fortreye or portgrave. For q consider able number of years the robes of the lord mavor. the court of aldermen and the common councillors have been set tied with a precision that none save the most reckless of innovators would presume to disturb. The lord mayor himself has his gold" robe for the occasion of the annual Guildhall banquet and for the times when he proceeds in state either to the new law courts or to the houses of parlia- mept. The aldermen have their scar let gowns the sheriffs their distinctive and very handsome robes and chains while the common councillors rejoice in gowns called ''mazarines." it being generally understood that mazarinc is a term for a particular dark-blue color. although, according to some lcxi- cographers. mazarine only means a drinking vessel and an old way of dressing fowls.
 Then. again, when the sovereign comes into the city, the lord mayor is bound to don a robe of crimson or pur- pie velvet, trimmed with erInine. At the time of his investiture he wears a massive gold chain, but when he is honored by reelection, at the expira- tion of his term of office, he wears two chains. The mace of silver-gilt' surmounted by royal crown and the imperial arms, is carried before the mayor by the authority of the charter of Edward H.; while the city possesses no less than four swords-one called
 Pearl" presented by Queen Bess when she opened the first royal ex- change, and so called from its being
 richly set with pearls. This sword precedes the chief magistrate on all occasions of rejoicing and festivity. | The sword of state is carried before the lord mayor as an emblem of his
 sovereignty within the city p-opcri the black" sword is used on fast days in Lent and at the death of any mem
 Der of the royal family, while the
 fourth sword is that placed close to | the lord mayors chair at the central criminal court.

At Phoenix q petition was signed and kick registered against the bill providing for the leasing of school lands which passed both houses last week. A telegram was forwarded 10 withhold his signature and to veto the measure. The bill provides for the leasing Of the school sections within the territory Of Arizona, the proceeds to be devoted to the uses Of the territorial schools, the leasing to be under the supervis- ion of commission composed of the governor, the superintendent of public instruction and the territorial auditor. There is almost sn entire lack o! res- trictive clauses in the terms of the bill, and the board thus appointed could, before the session of the pe1t legisla- turs dispose of the school lands in any manner, ct terms such as they saw fit to accept and for as long as they chose to give. The act is believed to give altogether too much power to the s1- scutive.
