Republican Affairs.

CANTON, o., June 27.-Major Nc.
Kinley denied emphatically this morn
ing that the executive committee had
been selected. All reports purportiDg
to set forth its composition are mere
guesswork. A number of men who
have been asked to act on the commit
tee cannot serve and as others must be
found to take their places, the whole
matter will be withheld from the pub
lie till the committee is complete. 1t
is rumored here to-day that both Quay
and Clarkson will be invited to take
an active part in the campaign.
Canton is in festal attire to-
day. Every householder who has
cent to spare has spent it
for flags and bunting. Eastern Ohio is COM
ing here to ratify tho nomination. At two
o'clock ten thousand vociferous and enthu-
sastic Mckinley men arrived from Clevc-
lond with dozen bands and marching clubs.
The Tippecanoe Club was the chief attraction.
There will be parade this afternoon and
speeches from stand in the city lot. In the
evening there will be On elaborate parade
which Major Mckinley will review from
stand built for the purpose on his front lawn.
In some unaccountable way the rumor that
Senator Quay was to visit Mckinley carly
next week became current yesterday. A
meeting of the hospitable citizens Of Canton,
of Pennsylvania origin, was held. Committees
to receive Senator Quay were appointed, and
an elaborate reception was arranged for him
Last night some one wired to ask him when
he was coming, and he said that he had no
intention of doing so at present Ms]or
Mckinley said this noon that he had had no
word from Mr. Quay, and was surprised when
no heard that reception had been arranged
for him. The committee is very much
disappointed this morning, and feels that it
has been hoaxed. 1t was the intention to
make great ado over MIR. Quay, and all the
extensive and beautiful preparations are lost.

MIR. MCKINLEY says if he shall be
elected President, full days work
shall be paid with a full dollar. A
full days work in towns is now ten
hours long, and though Mr.. Mckinley
may think one dollar enough for such
work, he will find that the average city
workingman entertains no such idea,
especially as the silver dollar is intripsi-
cAily worth only fifty cents, and, under
free coinage at 16 to l, for purchasing
purposes would be worth but little
more

SINCE THE removal of the tariff tax
on wool there has not only been q
great reduction in the price of wooden
goods, but great falling off in the
importation of such goods; so that
while American consumers of those
goods have been enabled to buy them
at cheaper rates, the demand for Amer
lean labor has been increased in order
TO supply the required quantity of the
home product. But, for all this, Mr..
Mckinley says the tax on wool must
oe. reimposed.

MR.. CowAN, who deserted his own
party in Maryland in its hour of need
and joined the republicans, and was
subsequently condoned and elected to
Congress by the democrats, threatens
to desert them again if their Presidential
nominee shall be silver man, now says
Maryland will give twenty thousand
majority for Mr.. Mckinley, against such
81 man. Mr.. Cowan is the leader of the
cleveland democrats" in Baltimore.
OF all such democrats the democratic
party should be delivered.

AS THE platform upon which MIR.
Mckinley stands has in it a womau's

should have made public speech,
lauding him and his wife and mother.
This is the age of the new woman,

THE tricks Northern protected man.
uiacturers play, though unfortunately
not vain, are plain to be seen. Not salts
fed with the existing high tariff, which
enables them to make double profit on
their products, they want to make
more, and as the election of Mr. Nc
Kinley will conduce to that end, they
now propose to make votes for him by
reducing the wages of their employees,
and assigning as the reason therefor
the fear that the tariff will be so re-
duced if he be defeated, that they will
be compelled to suspend operations,
and that they must in the meantime
save little for "rainy day."

THAT SPEECH OF PLUMBERS.

In regard to the recent Republican
speaking in this city in which Col. Lamb
and Il Western man named Plummer Off
GATED it is understood that the speeches
were not at all satisfactory to the Repub-
licans themselves. Most especially was
this true of the speech delivered by the
Westerncr. Geo. 0. Houston, n promi
nent Republican, left the hall when
Plummer began his TRADE of abuse, and
openly stated yesterday that he did not
approve of such methods. He was also
not in touch with Col. Lambs arraign-
ment of Bryan. Harris Hoge, an ardent
Republican and brother of the Republic
can nominee for Congress, thinks Plum
mer's speech an outrage In fact it seems
to have been disappointment to the
more intelligent classes of the party,
many of whom believe that it would have
been better for the Republican party if
he had not spoken at all. They are not
in sympathy with such methods and they
were not only much shocked but greatly
mortified at the rank abuse which he
heaped OH the heads of his opponents. 1t
is safe to say that Mr.. Plummer will not
be secured to make any more such cam
paign speeches in Roanoke. Mention of
Col. Hoge's speech was inadvertently
omitted in yesterdays Times.
