OF HIS NOMINATION.

Made by senator Observation-Disclosures
Iey's Reply Not To Discuss In an
Elaborate Way the Issues OF the
Campnign-The Notification Com
mittee Gathers at Cleveland.
Canton, o., June 2S.-The city OF Can
ton has witnessed a good many demon
stations of an enthusiastic nature since
Mai. Mckinley has been nomina ted. ana
there has been thousands OF strangers
within her gates. Men Of reputation In
politics. statecraft and business. have
called upon the candidate to pay their
respects" as the formula is or to keep
themselves we'll within McKinley's field
Of vision. All the demonstrations and
visitors up to this time. however. have
been OF an unofficial II not informal
character.
Tomorrow the advent OF the notification
committee, composed OF one member
from each state and territory, selected
by the national convention at ST. Louis
for the purpose of conveying to the candi-
date official notice Of his nomination. will
be an advent OF more significance ana
Importance than the coming of all the
other visitors and delegations which Nal
Of the committee Senator John NJ. Thurs
ton OF Nebraska was the permanent char
man Of the st. Louis convention, and
achieved large measure of national dis
tincton IN that capacity. He is an ora
tor and will be the spokesman for the
committee tomorrow. His speech is an
excellent one, and indicates in a BRIEF
way the lines upon which the campaign
will doubtless be conducted by the repub-
lican managers. Mai. Mckinley is very
fond of Senator Thurston and said
day or so ago that he thought his selec-
ton for permanent chairman Of the con-
vention was the best that could have
been made, with the possible exception
Of Gov. Foraker
Gov. McKinley's speech in reply to Sem
ator Thurston will be scanned with inter-
est. 1t viii not be long and he VIII not at
this time discuss in a significant or elab-
crate way the dominant issues OF the
campaign. Nothing in the way of an cx-
haustive formal utterance may be expect
ed until he publishes his letter OF accep-
tance, which will be In a month or six
weeks. That Is the usual time which a
candidate allows to eapse between the
date of his official notification and the
publication Of his official acceptance Of the
nomination.
Maj. Mckinley IL not disposed to depart
from custom in the matter. lie knows
election in November next for the discus
sion of all political questions OF moment,
and he does not wish the campaign to
commence too soon and too vigorously
The publication OF the letter OF accep-
tance really opens the campaign and for
that reason all of the candidates will be
disposed to defer the writing OF their let
ters for a few weeks In the MEANWHILE
the national committees viii organize and
be ready to go forward with the campaign
work in an active, comprehensive way
when the letters of acceptance shall have
been launched.
Before Mai Mckinley gives his letter
of acceptance to the public he viii prob
ably make a short visit to the seaside.
He said with much emphasis this morn
ing that under no circumstances would
he go to Newport or-any other fashiona-
Bile resort. He wants immunity from vis-
itors when he takes his vacation, and
for that reason will either spend a fort
night with his cousin, Col Osborne at
RoXbury, Mass, or make a tour Of the
lakes on one Of Mr.. Hannas boats Some
OF his friends are urging him 10 adopt
the latter course.
Maj. Mckinley received upwards OF 100
invitations from friends asking him to
spend his period Of vacation with them,
and very many handsome country places
at the seaside and in the mountains have
been put at his disposal, but he has de-
clined them all, and II is quite likely, II
the weather should remain cool here, that
he will not leave Ohio this summer
When the campaign Is well under way
and host Of minor candidates are in the
field each one hoping or expecting to car
ry his district or his state, the demands
upon Maj. Mckinley for speech making
will be urgent and frequent Several re-
publicans of influence and high standing
have talked with Maj. Mckinley upon this
point and some of them have endeavored
to secure from him promise to make
speeches in their states. Maj. Mckinley
has not committed himself, nor has he
said he would not yield to their demands
y ctr p md Il e.
to remain I'm Canton during the campaign
and at present his close political friends
incline to the belief that this will be the
wiser course to pursue. But conditions
may change, and If they do, and 1t seems
best for Maj. Mckinley to take the stump
he will do so, and no doubt when he be-
comes engaged in the speaking campaign
he will enjoy 4t heartily and do the best
work Of his life. He has excellent health,
a good appetite, sleeps well and does not
worry.
He will be able to take the stump at any
moment and can sustain himself in every
way for weeks II necessary, speaking as
often as a dozen or twenty times a day.
If Maj. Mckinley makes a speaking tour.
1t Is safe to say that among the states
upon his intinerary will be Indiana, Illi-
nois. Michigan, Missouri, Kansas and Ne
braska.
Cleveland, o., June 2S-The members
Of the republican presidential notihca-
tonight, with the exception of Mr. Rog-
ers Of Utah, who telegraphed that he
could not come. The committee goes to
Canton tomorrow morning. Senator
Hhurston said tonight. II do not think
there is any question that Mckinley will
win a great victory, but by what plural
fty cannot estimate. / think we viii lose
Colorado, Utah. Nevada, Idaho and Mon
tana on account of silver. / do not think
we can save them. The rest of the west
ern states will wheel into line for McKln-
ley l think the fight viii shortly settle
down, and the tariff will force the money
issue into second place. Senators Teller
and Dubois will be reelected 10 the SEN
ate on silver tickets. II is rather signih-
cant that these two senators were the
only ones to bolt, and that they were both
up for reelection in silver communities.
Those who did not bolt were not for an
other term. I have no idea what Mr.
Hanna will do about the executive COM
mittee's headquarters. / think he should
be allowed to fix them wherever Is hand
