Canton. o.. Nov. 6.-Major Mckinley
went about town yesterday for the first
time since the election, and was warm
iy greeted by those who saw him. He
is, however. such a familiar figure on
the streets that his appearance was not
such q novelty as to create a demon
etration. Major McKinley's determine
ton to take a trip to Cleveland within
a day or two will remove the centre of
interest from Canton to that city. Mrs.
Mckinley accompanies him. and as
they go for much needed rest II is like
ly that there will be no parades. de-
monstrations and receiving Of delega-
lions.
The reports that cabinet slate max
ers were busy throughout the country
caused much good-natured comment
here. II can be stated positively that
all cabinet comment Is purely con-
jectural, and with equal positiveness
IL can be said that at no time prior
to or during the campaign has there
been any promise OF federal places. AS
yet there has been no consideration Of
the cabinet subject. save as Major Nc
kinley may have turned II over In his
own mind, and any personal inclina-
tions he may feel toward particular
men have not been communicated to
his closest friends.
Major McKinley's touching an cleo
trio key by which the new Niagara
furnaces at North Tonawanda. New
York. were put I'm operation was an
interesting event OF the afternoon. The
furnaces had been connected by wire
with the Mckinley house. so that a
touch Of the telegraphic key at this
end sent an electric spark which lighted
the fires of the furnace. At exactly
2:S0 to the second the major pressed
the key. The circuit was successful
ly made. for word came back that the
furnaces had started with a blaze amid
the enthusiasm OF 1900 spectators. The
major Is still receiving hundreds Of
congratulation.
To an interviwer Major Mckinley
said
"Oh. / don't care to be interviewed,
but will say that think the patriot
&c efforts Of the men of both the old
parties have brought about the result
Ardent and devoted as have been the
efforts OF Republicans everywhere,
equally pronounced and helpful was
the attitude of the sond money Demo-
Gratis Then the press of the country
the intelligent and enthusiastic efforts
OF the great journals OF both parties
have been a mighty factor In the re-
suit and aid to the Republican cause"
This Is the only utterance Governor
Mckinley has made and the only state
mcnt Of public nature he will make
at the present time. The major last
night, after receiving q dispatch from
Hanna, who Is at New York. sent q tel
egram to his chairman warmly con-
gratuiatory and thanking him for the
manner In which he has conducted the
campaign.
Look Upon McKiniey's Election - En-
couraging to the Cause.
London, Nov. GA meeting OF MEN,
bers of the bimetallic league was in
session all yesterday afternoon engaged
in the work OF drawing up a manifesto.
Members from Birmingham. Man
chester and elsewhere were in at
tendance. The document. which was
issued last night. Is signed by A. L.
Denham. III. r. Greenfield. Robert Bar
clay, II. c. Gibblis, and II. MacNeil
IL claims that McKinley's election is a
victory for international bimetallism
and quotes the money plank of the st.
Louis platform. Continuing, IL says
I'm these circumstances. I'm view Of
the strong agitation for free silver or
natural bimetallism In the states, and
the fact that this agitation IN likely
to be maintained and developed,
genuine and determined effort upon
the part Of the new government may
be confidently anticipated to bring
about an international bimetallic agree
Inent for the opening of the minis OF
the various countries to silver. as well
as to gold. The recent contest has
brought home to the people OF this
country the vital Importance OF the
monetary question. and the grave
dangers which threaten the Industrial.
commercial and financial interests Of
Great Britain so long as II Is not settled
on International lines.
THE unreasonable attitude Of this
country In the past in the efforts TO
arrange q settlement Is mainly re-
sponsible for the attempt Just wit
messed to induce the United States to
act alone. and for the consequent un-
rest and disturbance In commercial and
financial circles. Therefore II In earn
estly hoped that this country and the
other great powers Of Europe viii
heartily cooperate with the United
States IN their endeavor to place the
metallic money OF the world upon q
permanent. sound and scientific basis"
