ALL INVITATIONS REFUSED.
M'KINLEY WILL ALLOW NOTHING
TO INTERFERE WITH HIS
NEEDED REST.
A MESSAGE SENT TO MIR. BRYAN.
The Greeting From His Defeated
Rival courteousfy Acknowledged
by the Successful Candidate.

He went in the old familiar One-hOrSe
surrey with several friends. He had
with him half dozen beautiful
punches of flowers. He left the car
riage, and personally placed one each
upon the graves of the late Mr.. and
Mrs. James A. Sexton, who were Mrs.
McKinley's mother and father A short
drive further on through the beautiful
grounds brought him to the Mckinley
lot. Here he placed like tokens in
memory Of his two daughters, Katie
and Ida. who passed away early in life,
a score of years ago, and similar re-
membrance upon the graves Of his
deceased sister, Anna, and his late
brother, James Mckinley.
Returning home he found a special
carload party of distinguished Cincin-
natians. They included Ralph Peters,
of the Little Miami division of the
Pennsylvania railroad; ex-Congress-
man Bellamy Storer; President Lars
Anderson, Of the Commercial club;
President L. G. Schmidlapp, of the
Union Trust company; President
Charles Fleischman, of the Commercial
Gazette company; President Bradford
Shinkle, of the Fifth National bank;
IL.
don, L. A Ault and Herman Cooper.
They came to extend a personal invit-
alton to attend a Commercial club din
ner, Nov. 10. Maj Mckinley explained
to them his plans, which were to take
a rest quietly at Cleveland next week
and then return to Canton, where he
would probably remain, arranging for
the duties before him. Under the Cir
cumstances he was forced to decline,
but he accepted an invitation for the
next annual dinner. He likewise ex
tended regrets to Invitations from Chi
cago, Columbus and various other
points, and wrote Mayor Strong of
New York his thanks and inability to
be present at the dinner of the New
England society on Dec. %. He spent
the evening in his library with a few
friends.
Mrs. Mckinley was only able to sit
up a part of the day, and her physi-
clan thinks it more important each day
that she get away for a change and
rest from the exciting scenes she
has witnessed for many weeks past.
Mr., Mckinley forwarded this tele-
| graphic greeting to the Chicago ratifi-
cation meeting tonight:
Hon. Ferdinand w Peck, Chicago, ILL.,. Your
message received. The cause Of country is
always above. that of1party, and 1t is sig

INDICATED the strength and benehcence OF our.
