The Republican Presidential Candidate
Receives oHciai Information.
CANTON, o., June 30 The function OF
notifying the candidate for the presidency
OF his nomination had In II touch Of old
time politios--before the days OF the tele-
graph The event had all the impressive
moss that can be given to n ceremony 20
simple. The Cantonians filled the majors
lawn with neighborly hospitality. Their
presence was one OF the many tributes
which they are paying their distinguished
citizen. After so many evidences Of enthu-
aiasm one wonders whether there will be
anything left 10 be vented IN celebrating
the Fourth OF July. But they have already
shown their roouporatlve powers, and the
time spent in making the notification par
takes OF the spirit Of local pride and pa.
triotism Is not likely 10 lessen their ener-
gios.
The notification address was made by
Senator John M. Thurston, who was por-
manent chairman OF the convention which
placed Major Mckinley In nomination for
president. In reply TO Senator Thurston
Major Mckinley affirmed his unequivocal
approval Of the platform adopted at the
st. Louis convention and dwelt particularly
upon the benefits Of the protective tariff

"The American people hold the financial
honor OF our government as sacred as our

with tho same sleepless vigilance. Thoy
hold its preservation above party fealty
and have often demonstrated that party
ties avail nothing when the spotless credit
OF our country Is threatened. The money
OF tho United States, and every kind OF
form Of II, whether Of paper, silver or gold,
must be as good as tho best In the world.
