FORECAST OF MKINLEY's SPEECH.
Major McKinley's speech in reply TO Senator
rhurston will not be long and he will not at this
time attempt TO discuss in significant or elabo-
rate way the dominant issues of the campaign
Nothing in the way Of exhaustive formal ut
torrance may he expected until he publishes his
letter of acceptance. which will be in a month
or six weeks. That is the usual time which
candidate allows to elapse between the date or
his official notification and the publication OF
his official acceptance OF the nomination. MAJOR
Mckinley is not disposed 10 depart from custom
IN the matter He knows thcre is an abundance
of time before the election in November for the
discussion Of ali political questions OF moment
and he does not wish the campaign 10 beSln 100
soon and too vigorously The publication Oh 'he
letter of acceptance really opens the campaign
and for that reason. the candidates Will DC Gls-
posed to defer the writing Of their letters Tor
few weeks In the mean time the Nauohal NoIli,
mittee will organize and be ready 10 go Forward
with the campaign work In an active, compre-
hensive way. when the letters Of acceptance
shall have been Issued.
IN NEED OF REST AND QUIET.
Before Major Mckinley gives his letter Of ac-
ceptancc to the public he will probably make
short visit to the seaside. He said. with much
emphasis, this morning that. under no circum-
stances, would he go 10 Newport or any other
fashionable resort He wants rest and freedom
from visitors when he takes his vacation aiu
for that reason will either spend fortnight win
his cousin Colonel Osborne, at RoXbury, Mass
or make a tour Of the lakes on one OF MT nan
mas boats Some of his friends are urging MIN
u adopt the latter course.
Major McKinley has received upward OF a
hundred invitations from friends asking him 70
spend his period Of vacation with them anu
many handsome country places at the SEASIDE
end in the mountains have been put at his dis
posal: bu, he has declined them all and II Is
possible, If the weather should remain cool mere
that he will not leave Ohio MS summer.
WILL MKINLEY TAKE THE STUMP?
When the campaign is well under way the de-
mands upon Major Mckinley for speech-making
will be urgent and frequent Several Republ-
cans OF influence and high standing have talked
with him on this point. and some OF them have
endeayored 70 secure from him promise 70
make speeches in their States. Major Mckinney
has not committed himself. nor has ne SAID That
he would not yield TO their demands upon MS
strength and time He prefers 10 remain IN
Canton during the campaign, and at present his
close political friends incline 10 the belief thdt
this VIII be the wiser course ID pursue. But
conditions may change. and. If they do, and 1t
seems best for Major Mckinley 70 take the
stump. he Will do 50. and no doubt, when ne be
comes engaged in the speaking campaign. he VIII
enjoy II heartily and do the best Work OF MS
life. He has excellent health, god appetite,
sleeps well. and does not worry. He Will be able
70 take the stump az any moment. and can suS-
tain himself for weeks If necessary, speaking as
often as a dozen or twenty times a day. II Major
Mckinley makes a speaking tour, II is safe 70
Say that among the States in which he Will be
heard will be Indiana, Illinois, Michigan. Ms
souri, Kansas and Nebraska.
Major Mckinley had a res;ful day. the first one
since his nomination. He did not g 70 church.
but remained at home during the morning. The
only caller ne saw was Charles Emory Smith. Mr..
Smith did not come here 10 discuss Cabinet ap-
pointments or 10 antagOnize Senator Quay. as
has been intlInated He thinks Mr. Quay IS IN
titled t. great consideration as Pennsylvania
leading Republican Senator and party organizer.
but ne also believes that other interests deserve
