~..ue was no diminution yesterday In the flow
..o .,de toward Mckinley. The impression on
" " ou,ical mind that the contest for the Presi-
w ,., nomination had been practically settled
-.a,re1 unchanged. People began TO accustom
s,o,ves to the sound of "President Mckinley
the general opinion that the sound was eu-
:, ."nious and to Republicans especially it was
p"v. ,isasing Indeed, many Democrats were
.,~a who admitted that the Jingle suited them
!o' ,reouently predicted that the ticket to be
- w., nv william Mckinley would receive an
"'.- 1.,,ous number Of Democratic votes.
wonv Republicans who have been committed
,or,unexa Of Governor Morton were anx-
,.,.v awaiting the authentic announcement OF
... governors intentions. now that all nope OF

'A.,..,s friends admit that he can no longer be

w., \. ought not to delay speaking the word to
'u.r. them from the obligation TO continue
s advocacy Of him. Governor Morton ar

-, hscause it is known that the Governor
Hp' .,,ouv ceased TO take any real interest in his

"de IN the last ditch" with intense disfavor. be-
cause It's effect is to postpone the restoration Of
confidence and prosperity.
THE FoRERUNNER OF PROSPERITY.
There is no mistaking the favorable impression
created In financial circles by the assurance OF
the nomination and election of Mckinley. 1t is
taken t. imply the ushering in Of better times.
and II is agreed that it is not necessary 10 wait
for the ST. Louis Convention and for the Novem-
her election 10 make investments and TO start
business enterprises.
In Wall Street large purchases Of American
securities by British and other foreign capitalists
are looked for in the near future. That being
the case 1t is fair to count on a genuine bull
market for stocks In the last half Of the year.
Europeans have all along been anxious TO put
their money in American stocks and bonds, but
they have until now beer afraid u do so. With
the certainty Of an end to Democratic misrule,
and likewise certainty Of the benefioent results
Of Republican Administration, faith will take the
place Of fear with them.
NORToNs CANDIDACY ALMOST FORGOTTEN.

Or Major Mckinley. All this talk about the

position can never form combination strong

candidate of the people. and not Of the bosses.

ured beyond any question"
George II. Ke,cham. Of Toledo, was at the I'M
