CANTON, Nov. 15.-President-elect
Mckinley passed another very quiet
Sunday Webb Hayes, son of the late
President Hayes, came down from
Cleveland on a morning train and spent
the day at the Mckinley residence.
Major Mckinley declared that his
health was never better and that he had
completely recovered from the fatigue Of
his campaign labors. Mrs. McKinley's s
health has been SO far recovered that
she was able TO go driving for half an
hour this afternoon. Major Mckinley,
accompanied by Mr.. Hayes and Captain
II. o. HeFsling, attended services at the
First NJ. E. Church.
Although various newspapers have
published complete Cabinet outfits for
the incoming administration, it is safe
to assert that not one of them has been
built upon anything resembling author
itative announcement from Major Nc
Kinley or those who are closest to the
President-elect
1t is evident the President-elect has
not made UP his mind as to the forma-
tion of his Cabinet, not even decided
upon the geographical allotment of
places therein. 1t is further apparent
that Major Mckinley will not consider
Cabinet candidates until after his re-
turn from his visit to Cleveland. Ac-
cording to present arrangements the
President-elect and Mrs. Mckinley will
leave for Cleveland on Wednesday
morning.
Since Chauncey NJ. Depew has ceased
TO be talked about SO frequently for Sec
retary of State there has been a good
deal of discussion here of the proba-
bflity of his being appointed Minister
to England. 1t is known that Major Nc
kinley has a very kindly feeling for Mr..
Depew and the latter's friends here as
sert that he would find life as Embas-
sador at the Court Of st. James ex-
tremely agreeable He would have a
great field for speech making and all
of his work would be of a congenial
sort
1t may be put down as certain that
unless the unexpected happens Benja-
min Harrison. viii not be urged to take
the portfolio of State in Major McKin-
ley's Cabinet General Harrison is not
thought to desire this appointment and
the belief here is that the President
elect has about decided TO offer it to
some one else.
A friend Of Major McKinley's said to-
night that Senator Sherman undoubted-
~ expressed the desire of most Of
Major McKinley's closest advisers when
he said that Congress should pass the
Dingley bin this winter. The new ad-
ministration viii not care to be saddled
with an extra session of Congress and
Major Mckinley will have quite enough
10 occupy him in organizing his admin
istration.
Mr.. McKinley's advices from Texas
are of most satisfactory character.
They Indicate an increase in the Repub-
lican vote in the State of over 100 per
cent. In Navarro County, the home of
Roger @. Mills. the great tariff reformer.
Major Mckinley secured a plurality of
122 votes. That county has heretofore
been overwhelmingly Democratic.
Among the congratulatory messages
received to-day was the following:
THE American students in Heidel-
berg send greetings and congratulations
10 the representative Of American hon
esty.''
