There was no political significance to
any Of the incidents of the day.

business in Kansas. The general will

PURELY BUSINESS.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S-A special
to the Examiner from Canton says:
The Republican national campaign
will be business one from the jump.
Mark Hanna has so decided and Major
Mckinley acquiesces with this thought,
just as he has with every other idea of
his promoter.
The ex-governor declared that the al
legged announcement Of the executive
committee was the widest guesswork.
OF one thing he was positive-namely,
that the executive committee would be
made up wholly of members of the ma
tional committee. Mr.. Manley would
probably be It's secretary.
Regarding the business end Of the
campaign, Major Mckinley affected
very little knowledge. He did not know
that there would be an advisory COM
mittee" charged with furnishing the
necessary funds. His thoughts seemed
to be that Hanna would attend to that
matter, and he had so many other de-
tails. From another source, quite as
trustworthy as the major himself, 1t was
learned that the campaign will really
be in the hands of an advisory commit
tee, every member of which will be a
Mark Hanna. Its number and compost
tion have not been fixed, but it will be
made up from pampered children Of for
tune, who have been enabled to garner
millions under the protective tariff of
days long past The liberal givers will
all be brought into the fold and the peo-
pie of the country will be able to form a
clearer idea of the great Hanna McKin-
ley syndicate after they have read the
names of that committee
The title Is sarcastic because it will be
expected to direct the executive commit
tee and take no advice from anybody.
Dolan and Niedringhaus will doubtless
be found among it's members, and If
guessing were permissible a list could
readily be made up from the wealthy
iron and woolen men of the country.
