and Mrs. James A. Saxton, who were
Mrs. McKinleys father and mother. A
short drive farther on through the beau
tiful grounds brought him to the Nc
Kinley lot. Here he placed like tokens
in memory of his two daughters, Katie
and Ida, who passed away early In life,
score of years ago, and familiar re-
membranes upon the graves of his 1e-
ceased sister, Anna, and his late brother,
James Mckinley.
Returning home, he found a special
carload party of distinguished Cincin-
| iiatians, who had come to extend per-
sonal invitation to attend commercial
club dinner November 10th. Major Me
Kinley explained to them his plans,
which was to take rest quietly AT
Cleveland next week and then return to
| Canton, where he would probably re-
main arranging for the duties before
him. Under the circumstances he was
forced to decline, but he accepted an in
vitation for the next annual dinner. He
likewise extended regrets to invitations
from Chicago and Columbus and var
ious other points, and wrote Mayor
Strong Of New York his thanks and ina
hility to be present at the dinner of the
New England society on December 22d.
He spent the evening in his library with
few friends.
Mrs. Mckinley was only able to sit UP
part of the day, and her physician
thinks it more important each day that
she get away for a change and a rest
from the exciting scenes she has Witness
ed for many weeks past.

ADDRESS TO LEAGUERS.
CINCINNATI, o., Nov. 6.-Upon the
suggestion of the advisory committee OF
the national league, President D. D.
Woodmansee has issued the following
address:
To the Members of the Republican
Clubs of the United States-Greeting:
The splendid victory of Tuesday. in
which you took a conspicuous part, is
heritage to every citizen who believes
in good government. I congratulate you
upon the outcome of this memorable
political contest. Many of you have
labored to bring about this result, with
a zeal that has known no weariness.
The effect of your loyal service has been
felt in every state where the fight has
been fiercest. On behalf of our organi-
zation I extend to you grateful acknowl-
edgments.

are now concerned about it's future. It
is the ambition of those who are most in
terested in our league that it's influence
for good may be enlarged and that it's
position in state and national politics
may be elevated and maintained. The
election to the presidency Of William
Mckinley, man who was ever a friend
Of the league and one who appreciates
it's value, will fill our hearts with re-
newed hope and courage.
The debts of the league, that have SO
long been menace to its usefulness,
have been paid. With clean record,
let us at once begin the campaign of 1898.
The Republican party faces RESPONSE
bilities today that will seriously affect
the American people The hard cam
paign which has just ended was made
doubly hard by the silent forces that had
been at work for years to undermine
our financial policy. Let us use the
league between campaigns as a counter
acting influence favorable to our COM
mon cause. Make all Mckinley clubs
permanent clubs or consolidate those
that are in your locality. Join your state
league without delay. During the win
ter months have regular meetings to
study and discuss political questions
Scatter literature as freely as has been
done for years by the Bimetallic league
SO that when the actual battle of an
other campaign is upon US our people
will already have been educated and
