Carton, o., Nov. 5.-Ma1or MchIHley went
about town to-day for the first time since
the election and was warmly greeted by
those who saw him. He took walk early
in the day through the residence section
and about noon drove to his mothers home
with a liberal share of the flowers which
had been sent TO his house. Driving or
walking, he was kept busy acknowledging
salutations from all sides.
Major Mckinley this afternoon de-
ternined TO take trip to Cleveland with
in a day OF two. Mrs. Mckinley accgom-
pan.es him. They go for much needed rest.
The reports that cabinet slatemakers were
busy throughout the country caused much
good natured comment here to-day. 1t can
be stated positively that all cabinet COM
ment is purely coujectural. Any personal
inclinations Major Mckinley may feel
toward particular men have not been COM
municated to his closest friends.
Major Mckinley's touching an eiectric
key by which the new Niagara furnace at
North Tonawanda, n. Y. was put INTO
operation was an interesting event OF the

came back that the furnaces had started
with a blaze. amid the enthusiasm of 5000
spectators
dispatch was received tonight from
Colonel Mutt of Nashville, woiids Iair
commissioner for Tennessee, saying the
state would give Mckinley 1900 piurahty.
This was something of a surprise, in view
of the general reports on that state, al
though an earlier dispatch from anotner
source stated that Tennessee would be
claimed for Mckinley.
