Mckinley and Hobart.

CANTON, Ohio, Aug. 25.-Major Nc
Kiuley has been at work all the morn
ing upon the final revised proof of his
letter of acceptance. He denied him
self to all callers and was toiling
earnestly with his long letter when
carriage drove up and Carrot A. Ho.
bart alighted with his letter of accep-
lance in his travelling bag. Mr.. Hobart
was not expected on so early
train and consequently there was
no one to meet him at the
station. He was accompanied to the
Mckinley residence by h. II. Kohlsaat,
of Chicago, whom he met on the train.
Mr.. Hobart will not remain in Canton
longer than three hours. He arrived
at 1910. Major Mckinley met him at
the door and took him into his study.
The floor was covered with proof
sheets. The room looked like an ed
itor's sanctum, and MIR. Hobart, laugh
ing at the confusion and evidences of
the hard work said "Since you're in
the letter reading business, major, I've
brought you another one to look over"
The two men then sat down and Major
Mckinley read Mr.. Hobart's letter and
discussed it with him. Mr.. Hobart, in
his turn, read Major McKinley's letter.
Each candidate expressed the highest
satisfaction with the others letter OF
acceptance. Major McKinley's letter
will make about ten Thousand words,
and it will be given to the public
through the medium of the press on
Thursday morning. Mr.. Hobart's let
ter will follow some days later.

TUESDAY EVENING, AUG. %, 1895.

TWENTY SEVEN very worthy gen.
tlemen of this city, some OF them
republicans, assembled in the dining
room of the Exchange Hotel last
night and declared in favor of the noml'
nation of a third ticket by the conven-
ton of the gold boilers to be held at
Indianapolis. AS every vote that may
be cast for such ticket will be one
taken away from the democratic ticket
and, therefore, count as one in favor OF q
force bill and higher tariff, and in favor
of trusts, combines aud monopolies, the
democrats among the gentlemen re-
ferred to will be in uncongenial
company at the polls next November
with the supporters of Mckinley and
McCaull, and will realize when too late
the mistake they have made, and that,
too. whether either the republican or
the democratic ticket be elected.

coinage of silver would not increase
the profits of the silver mine owners
but it is Just as true that no such man
says the single gold standard does moi
increase the profits Of the gold mine
owners, and as there are more of the
former than of the latter, and more
farmers than both, and as free silver
would make more money, and as the
effect of an increasedIamount of money
has always been to increase the price
of commodities and labor and to slim
ulate all sorts of business, the fact that
q few silver mine owners would be
benefited by the resumption of silver
coinage will not be likely to deter
many intelligent men from voting the
national democratic ticket.
