spects at Canton.
Those Who Discuss the Tariff More
Welcome Than Those Who
Seek Patronage.

CANTON, OHIO, Nov. 30.-Maior Nc
Kinley had a busy day with his Con-
gressional callers to-day, and it was 5
o'clock this evening before he had q
minute he could call his own.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge came from
Washington to discuss the possibilities of
legislative action at the approaching ses-
sion. Senator Lodge represents the Reed
contingent in New England politics more
thoroughly than any one else, and the
fact that he made the trip to Canton to
do what Reed recently neglected to do is
regarded by many as an indication that
he would aece pt what Mr.. Reeds friends
declare he would not, namely, position
in the Presidential household. He was
closeted for some time with Major Nc
Kinley, but the object of his visit, if it
had more specific one than to testify his
good will toward the incoming admins
tration, was not manifested.
General Horace Porter of New York re-
manned with Major Mckinley until late
this afternoon. General Porter said that
while no positive arrangements had been
made as to the chief marshalship of the
Inauguration ceremonies, it would doubt
names would be mentioned until after the
headquarters were opened in Washington.
$50 far as Cabinet-making is con-
cerned," said General Porter, ~ never
knew Cabinet to be completed until very
near the 4th of March. know of no man
who is better equipped in the matter of
wide cquaintanceship with public men
throughout the country than Major Nc
Kinley. He is perfectly qualified to make
his own selections and when it is done it
will be his own handiwork.
As to his own am bitions in this direc-
ton General Porter said that his visit had
no significance, as he had called upon
friend of many years standing to pay his
personal respects,
DR.. T. n. Jameson, Republican National
committeeman from Illinois, called on
Major Mckinley tonight. DR.. Jameson
pointed with pride to the enormous vic
tory won in Illinois, and said that while
his State would be glad to find recognition
at Major Mckinley's hands it does not pro-
pose to embarrass Major Mckinley with
any claims.
1--WE are perfectly willing to rest our case
in McKinley's hands," said he tonight,
"and believe that he will in proper way
recognize the services of the Republicans
of that great State.'
Henry T. Oxnard of Nebraska, president
of the National Beet Sugar Association;
c. T. Sheldon of Michigan, T. E. Burton
of Cleveland and H. c. Van Voorhis OF
Ohio called upon the major this afternoon.
Many of Major McKinley's callers are
urging the necessity of an early revision
of the tariff. and new Congressman are
especially anxious for an extra session OF
the body TO which they have been elected.
There is little doubt, too, that the callers
who talk tariff legislation to the President
elect find a much reader listener than
tn ose who discuss local patronage, or even
Cabinet possibilities. TIE fact that there
will be a weeks shorter session before
Christmas this winter than last, and the
unlikelihood of any proper discussion OF
the tariff by the outgoing Congress, gives
weight to the belief here that an extra ses-
sion is an absolute necessity.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Russell Young OF Phila-
delphia dined with Major and Mrs, Nc
Kinley this evening.
