MAJ. N K|NLEY SPEAKS OUT
HIS TELEGRAM TO MARK HANNA
LAST NIGHT TELLS
THE STORY.
SWEEPING VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE
They Have, Says Mckinley, DeclIr, ID
Their Devastation of Reputation
and Their Devotion to
Law and Order

Canton. o., Nov. J.-Prcsident-rlect
Mckinley tonight sent the following dis
patch to Mark Hanna, New York:
Canton. o.. Nov. 30 Hon. NJ. A.
Hanna, Waldorf Hotel. New York City:
Your Geographic message announcing the
result of the election has been received.
| beg you TO accept my hearty thanks for
your great service in the cause of sound
money and protection throughout the
campaign now closed and gloriously
won. They were most generous and
effective and will receive the warm ap-
where. | will be pleased 10 have YOU
convey to your associates of the na-
tional committee my high appreciation of
their efficient services. The people, in
| their majesty, ignoring pnrty lines, have
declared their dctestation OF reputation
and dishonor, in whichever species or
guise they may put it. They have, with
the same mighty power, affirmed their
devotion to law and order and their I'M
dcviating respect for justice and courts.
They have maintained their unfaltering
determination to support and uphold the
| constituted authorities of the country AMI
nave lncfcDy gwen new NlSOf and
strength to our free institutions. They
have. indeed, again consecratcd them
selves to country and baptized the
cherished ordinances of free government
with Il new and holy patriotism. The
victory is not to party or to section, but
of the whole Americah people. Not the
least of the triumphs is the obliteration
of sectional lines in the republic. We
have demonstrated to the world that we
are united people in purpose and in
name. We have manifested in great
cause spirit of fraternity and brother
hood that should always characterize our
common and equal citizenship, and have
proven conclusivcly that in country Of
equal privileges and equal opportunity
the insidious doctrine OF hate or of
class or sectional distinctions can not
prevail. Let us as Americans straight
way devote ourselves to the upbuiIdng
of America, the peace. honor and glory
of our common country. Party disscn-
sions should no longer divide or rack the
public mind. nor the heat or temper of
either side deter any citizen from patri-
otto devotion to the good of all.

wholesale dealers or manufacturers OF

probably come out of hiding. In the

furnace and at each of the openings an
incandescent lamp was placed, with a
portion of the glass represented. Pow
der was poured around the films and
around this was suspended cotton waste,
saturated with oil, which igntcd ten
