Canton, o., June 23.-Mark Hanna,
Henry Clay Evans and Col. and Mrs.
Fred Grant, were the most distin-
guished of the many visitors who called
at the Mckinley residence Monday,
Although it was the first time they had
seen each other since the close of the
st. Louis convention, the meeting be-
tween Messrs. Mckinley and Hanna was
not demonstrative. During the morn
ing the two held short consultation.
After lunch MIR. Hanna came out on the
porch with the other visitors and
chatted most affably with the newspa
per men who make that their camping
place. But he did not say much. He
talked entertainingly of the early his
tory of the northwestern part of Ohio,
speaking of prominent men who have
come from Stark and Columbiana coun-
ties. MIR. Hanna said that nothing of
Importance had brought him to Canton.
He said the arrangements for the visit
of the notification committee were COM
plete. The members will gather in
Cleveland and leave there by special
train next Monday morning for Canton,
returning later in the day. The speeches
will be made early, so that the ceremony
can be concluded by lunch time. Mr..
Hanna was asked:
What shape or direction will the cam
paign take. tariff or finance?"
"Oh 1t will be strongly tariff, you may
be sure of that"
"There has been much said about the
| financial plank of the platform, Mr.. Han
ma, and the reasons for Its adoption In Its
| present form. What have you to say?"
"Only this: That the assertion that 1t
| was in any sense forced upon the commit
| tee or convention by the delegates from the
| east or any particular part of the east Is
| untrue"
The most interesting if not the most
important day passed by Maj. Mckinley
since he entered upon his career as
presidential candidate closed Monday
evening with the visit of delegation of
$50 citizens of GAINESVILLE and Muslein-
gum county. They came under the
auspices of the Business Mems Repub-
lican club of that city. The train
reached Canton at seven o'clock and,
escorted by the local drum corps and
cavalry company organized for the cam
paign. marched with drums beating and
banners flying to the Mckinley resi-
dence. They were Joined en- route by
hundreds of Canton's populace, so that
when they reached their destination
the crowd comprised several thousand
people. Congressman H. c. Van Voor-
his was spokesman for the visitors.
Mai. Mckinley was received with
cheers as he mounted a chair to respond.
His remarks were on this occasion
chiefly notable for his first reference,
in any of his speeches, to the financial
plank in the platform, when he said:
"When we give full days work
we are entitled to be paid in full dol
lar" 1t was also notable that this
evoked the first applause. Maj. McKin'
ley said:
1--WE have had some experience in thu
last three years and half; experience has
superseded prophecy, and cold facts have
taken the place of prediction. We all know
more than we knew three years and hal
ago, and we are all ready and anxious t.
get back to the period of 1892 when thi
country was enjoying its highest pros
| perity, with the largest domestic trad'
It ever enjoyed ana the largest foreign
trade with the nations of the world. W.
want to get back to that policy, my fellow
citizens, which will give to us work anC
wages, give to agriculture home marke
| and n good foreign market, which wa
opened up by reciprocity legislation of th
republican party. We have come to appre
ciate that protective tariffs are better thar
i1leness, and that wise tariff legislation Il
more businesslike than debts and deficien
cies, and all feel that the sooner we cal
change that policy which increases th
debts of the government to the policy o
paying as we go the sooner we will reacl
I'M M A md
my countrymen there is another thinl
the people are determined upon, and tina
is that a full days work must be paid in
full dollar"
