CANTON. OHIO, Sept. 13.-Major Nc
Kinley enjoyed well-earned rest to-day.
Yesterday was the most active and la
borious day he has had since his nomina-
ton. He made three long and as many
short speeches and shook hands with quite
5000 people. Major Mckinley did not go
TO Zoar last night, as be had thought one
time of doing. The people gave him no
chance to leave town. He was serenaded
several times during the evening and had
a great many callers at the house.
This morning Major Mckinley took a
short drive with Mrs. Mckinley and made
a visit to his mother. He did not go to
church. This afternoon he took long
drive into the country and was much re-
freshed by it. He is looking we'll and feel
ing we'll after his week of arduous work,
and is ready for the still harder work of
next week. The Major will have larger
mum per of delegations at his house this
week than he has received in the same
length of time since his nomination. and
many of them will be very large delega-
tions. The total mum Der of political pill
grims to Canton this week will number
more than $1,000.
