Canton, o.. Sept. 6.zMajor McKin-
ley shook hands with more than five
thousand citizens of Pennsylvania yes
terday and he is somewhat fatigued
today and more confirmed than ever
to go to Zoar for few days rest this
week. He has been working very hard
since his nomination and from the lat
ter part of this week up to the very
day of the election he expects to be
occupied all the while and to have no
time for recreation. Zoar is quiet
and quaint religious community, where
the people own the property in COM
mon and are a law unto themselves
There is a pleasant beautifully situat-
ed small hotel there which will be
placed at the disposal of Major Nc
Kinley. The drive to Zoar is Z. pleas
ant one and is litue less than twen-
~ miles. Major Mckinley said today
that he would drive to Zoar. Mrs. Nc
Kinley will go with him, and probably
Captain and Mrs. Heistand. Captain
Heistand is an officer in the regular
army, who is devoted to Major Nc
kinley and who, at the latter's re-
quest, is acting as his confidential sec
retary during his leave of absence.
Major Mckinley does not expect to re-
main longer than two or three days in
Zoar, as he has to receive more dele
cation the latter part of this week
LARGE DELEGATIONS.
Delegations are coming in large num-
bers from all parts of the country and
no days so by without bringing letters
of inquiry respecting dates for proposed
visits. Major Mckinley said to the cor
respondent of the United Associat ted
Presses today that he is always exceed
inSly glad to have delegations come to
Canton to sec him. but it would be more
convenient in many ways, If it could be
arranged to have not more than two
parties of visitors arrive ON the same
day. Delegations which contemplate
coming to Canton should try to arrange
the time of their coming so as not to
bring visitors from too many places
here on the same day. This can be done
by telegraphing to Canton and ascer
tanning what dates are open.
Tuesday will be an interesting day
here. The editors of Ohio hold the an
nual meeting of their association in
Canton. They are to he addressed by
Charles Emory Smith and other news
paper editors. They will also call upon
Major Mckinley and he will make u
speech to them. This will make the
third editorial association to call on Mr.
Mckinley since his nomination. The
others We're the Michigan and West Vir-
ginia aSsOcia tions.

HaZip of Lakeland. Col. j. G. Bryant of
Ashland. Col. Wilbur Smith of Lex
private secretary, f. ". Roberts OF
Frankfort. The party had been attending
IL meeting Of the Tippecanoe club at
Cleveland, and the visit here was purely
social
To II reporter Gov Bradley said he
thought there was no doubt but that
Mckinley will carry Kentucky. He eX-
poets the plurality to he between twen
ty and twenty-five thousand. He also
expressed the belief that the Republi-
cans will carry West Virginia and
Maryland and is very hopeful of Ten
nessee. He attributed the crowds at
tracted by Bryan to the desire to see
free circus without cost. He thinks
Bryan will he the worst beaten man
since Horace Greeley. The people, he
says. are beginning To understand the
silver question, and the better they un-
derstand it the worse it is for Bryan
and his cause.
