to Gold Democrats.
CAPTAIN M'KEE THINKS SO
stopped Off at Canton on His Way
Home From Chicago, and Had. a
Talk With the President-elect.
Some Of the Work Done by Chi
cago Committee. 81. .-.-

Capt. Thomas II. Mckee, the journalcierk
Of the present II Ouse OF Repre- scntatives is
athOme again after a thrermonths' sojohrn
In Chicago. There he was connected with
the Republican national com mniittee. having
organized and taken charge OF the Lur.sau
Of distribution OF literature of tine ma
tonal headquarters. Col Perry Heath :. the
well Known newspaper correspondent. was
engaged with him III thiswork.
Capt. Mckee has known Mr.. Mckinley
intimately for many years He said last
night when seen at his plea SAINT hoIac on
Grant place:
"The next President ,is a war time .ac-
quaintance of mine and all our intercourse
in later years has been. nj the kind ID es-
pecially interest me in his candidacy l
therefore took occasion while returning to
Washington to stop off at Cantonto see HIM
IN EXCELLENT HEALTH.
"Mr. Mckinley is III exetlIent~ physical
condition, and while the campaign was
an arduous one to him the .conridence that
lie felt at all times as 10 the re suit prevented
any great mental strain or hardssnent that
would tend to break down his health. u
Our conversation was OF a social charac-
Ter and only in Il general way touched upon
the conduct of the campaign and its issues,
or the election and its results.t' -9'
II do not think Mr.. Mckinley will come
East before the inauguration. When he
becomes President 1 am confident that
his first action will be to take cognizance
of the deplorable condition of our national
finances, and to call a special session
OF the new Congress to provide sufficient
revenue Tor the government. Mr.. Nc
kinley's patriotism is of such broad and
all-enibracing character that the plan
III legislation which he will propose VIII
be such that all citizens, irrespective of
party, will find 1t worthy OF support. He
thinks that everybody will agree that this
deficit, this annual increase or Indebted
ness, and constant threat of bond sales
should be stopped.
He knows that to the patriotic action
Of hundreds OF thousands of Democratic
voters he owes his election, and as he
takes his election to mean simply the tri-
umph Of those great principles outlined
in the st. Louis platform, his ambition
is to bring into the fold OF great American
party those Democrats who came forward
50 nObly at the crisis just past / think
that the next President will humber
among his advisers some of the men who
left the Democratic party rather than
tn support the heresies of the Chica 90
platform"
