CINCINNATI, OHIO, June 19.-Canton |
was awake bright and early this morning, |
Notwithstanding the fact that a large pro- |
portion of the population did not cease cell |
ebrating the nomination OF Mckinley till
nearly dawn. The town already takes on |
the temporary commercial aspect peculiar
to the scene of larger gatherings. Fakirs
with campaign badges and fans for sale
thronged the Streets hawking their wares,
and the variety Of these is simply amaZ-
ing.
Opposite the Mckinley residence big
tent has been erected, under which the
hungry and thirsty wayfarers may get re-
freshments at the hands of scores of ladies.
The Mckinley grounds presented desc
late appearance this morning; the beauti-
full lawn, the pride and beauty of Canto-
nese homes, was bare and brown as a prai-
RE swept by fire. A stream of water was
played upon it's surface, with the hope of
preserving or restoring it to its former
slightly appearance.
Major and Mrs. Mckinley arose this
morning much refreshed by good nights
rest and feeling none the worse for yester-
days fatiguing experience. During the
night a mass OF kilograms had aCcumu-
lated, covering large desk and running
into the hundreds in number. Immedi-
ately after breakfast the major addressed
himself to the perusal of these, and while
thus engaged received member of the
committee in charge of the preparations
for the local demonstration on the 9th
inst. in connection with the Tippecanoe
Club of Cleveland, and which will be
really the opening of the campaign.
