CABINET FORECASTS.
President Harrison Mentioned
for Secretary of State
IN PRESIDENT H'EIHLEY'S CABINET.
Gossip Over the Point of Whether the
Proprieties of Modern Craftsmanship
Would Permit Gen. Harri-
son to Accept.

NEW York, Nov. "A sun special
irom Washington says:
Politicians and ubiic men generally
in Washington appear to agree in the
opinion that President-elect Mckinley
has already determined to Offer ex-
President Harrison place in his cab
met. The honor, it is thought, is due
10 Gen. Harrison because of his high
standing in the party and his
reputation as a citizen. More
over, the fact that he personally
conducted the affairs of the
state department. during his admins
tration, and especially after the death
of Mr. Blaine, demonstrated his great
ability as an international lawyer and
diplomat. In the Chilian and Hawaiian
affairs Mr.. Harrison held the reins in
his own hands, and made personal an
nouncement of the various steps in the
vigorous and patriotic American policy
that was adopted.
The possibility of Gen. Harrison S ap.
pointment as secretary of state has
aroused much gossip over the interest
ing point of whether sthe proprieties
of modern craftsmanship and politics
would allow an ex-president of the
United States to become a cabinet
minister. The consensus of opinion in
Washington seems to be that Gen. Har-
rison's dignity would not suffer in the
least by his consent to become the
premier of the Mckinley administra-
tion. Nothing. however, as to Gen.
Harrison's personal inclinations
is known beyond the fact that he re-
peatedly said to his friends that he
now desired to spend few years at
least in the practice of the law for the
purpose of making money, and at the
same time find leisure for reading and
study. His recent marriage will, un-
dou btedly, have considerable influence
upon his future plans, however, and If
President Mckinley should offer him
place in the cabinet, Mrs. Harrison's
wishes might determine whether he
would accept.
There are very few political leaders
here at present, but among those who
are here the opinion seems to be gen.
eral that President Me Kinley will rec
ognize the services of Senator Palmer,
Gen. Buckner and others who will be
out of Office after March 4. If Mr..
Carlisle is not elected senator from
Kentucky, he will be recognized
in a manner satisfactory to him.
A well-informed republican pol-
itician said that, in the opin
ion of the old soldiers, without
regard to party, President Mckinley
could make no more popular appoint
ment and no more deserving one than
that Df Con Da0ia1 r. GioIrIaa fo ba
commissioner of pensions. This is an
opinion in which old soldiers and sail
ors only are greatly interested, and
Gen. Sickles' appointment, it is
thought, would be as gratifying to
veterans as was that of Corporal Tan
ner by President Harrison.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 6.-Mr. Bryan to-
day gave out the following:
To the BimetaIlists Of the United
States: Conscious that millions OF loyal
hearts are saddened by temporary defeat,
i beg TO offer Il word Of hope and en-
eOuragement. No cause had supporters
more brave, earnest and devoted than
those who have espoused the cause of BIZ
metallism. They have fought from con-
viction, and have fought with all the zeal
which conviction inspires. Events will
prove whether they are right or wrong.
Having done their duty as they saw it,
they have nothing to regret.
The Republican candidate has been her
aided as the advance agent of prosperity.
III his policies bring real prosperity TO the
American people, those who opposed him
viii share in that prosperity. If, on the
other hand, his policies prove an injury
TO the people generally, those of his sup
porters who do not belong to the Office
holding class, or to the privileged classes,
will suffer in common with those who OPP
posed him.
The friends of bimetallism have not
been vanquished; they have simply been
overcome. They believe that the geld
standard is a conspiracy of the money
changers against the welfare OF the
human race and, until convinced of their
error, they will continue the warfare
against il.
The contest has been waged this year
under great embarrassme1ts and against
great odds For the first time during this
generation public attention has been CEN
tered upon the money question as the
paramount issue, and this has been done
in spite OF all attempts upon the part Of
our orpoI ents TO prevent it. The Repub-
licaP convention held out the delusive
hope OF international bimetallism, while
Republican leaders labOred secretly for
gold recommendation. Gold standard Dem
Ocrats have publicly advocated the cleo
tion Of the indianapolis ticket, while they
labOred secretly for the election OF the
Republican ticket. The trusts and cOrpO-
ratiOns have tried to excite fear OF law
lessness, while they have been defying
the law, and American fnanciers have
boosted that they were the cestodlans
OF national h0goFl TAIe taey EeFs o.

fire Sunday night. The city bank,
nine stores and dwelling houses were

located in the building. "A lot
of cars standing on some sidings had
to be moved to escape destruction.
The total loss is estimated at $3.50, 600.
This is the second time Spencer has
suffered from conflagration. About
seven years ago practically the same
portion of the town was destroyed.

GEN. LEES VISIT
Still Believed to lie Much More Omciai

Still Believed to lie Much More OHciai
Than Private.
New YoRK, Nov. "A Herald special
from Washington says:
The statement recently made that
Consul-General Lee came to Washing
ton under express instructions from
the authorities for the purpose of en-
abling the president To obtain full
report from him concerning the
exact situation in Cuba for use in
connection with his message to con-
gress is now generally accepted as the
main object of his visit
What change of policy the president
will inaugurate on the strength of the
information he received from Gen
Lee will not be known until the presi-
dent has progressed further with his
message.
Gen. Lee left the city Sunday for
Richmond. He is to come back for
further conference with the president
the latter part of the week.
Representatives of the Spanish lega-
tion in this city profess to have
no concern about Gen. Lees
visit here. They insist that
they have no fear of interven-
tion from this country, and that
Spain will be able TO end the war in
her own way within very short time.
Minister DE LONE pronounces as ridic-
ulous the statement that he had noti-
fed the president that unless Spain
was successful in crushing the rebel
lion within 90 days Cuba would be set
free

in all the republican campaign parades
in central Illinois, Is to be carried over
land from Decatur to Canton, O., and
presented to President-elect Mckinley

the men fail. A citizen will give 81 900
if they succeed. The men are to start
with it this week, each without a cen tof
money, and before they reach Canton
they are to earn $1,000 by the sale of
pictures of the horn and of themselves.

THE PREsIDENT-ELEcT
Settling Down to HIS Usual MethodicnI
Routine.

Routine.
CANTON, o., Nov. -President-elect
Mckinley has SO far recovered from
the fatigue incident upon the labors of
the campaign just closed that he has
again resumed the methodical manner
Of living that has characterized his
everyday life for many years past.
He arose at the usual hour, disposed
of his early mail, which was not
of an uncommonly large quantity,
and then. in company with Mr.. Clark
Tonner, of Canton, INDUCED in walk
about the residence portion of the city
The air was cool and bracing and the
pair walked at brisk gait for nearly
an hour. After calling at his moth
er's residence on Tuscarawas street,
the president-elect returned to his
home on Market Hill. He an
nounced that he was feeling ex-
cellent and at once plunged into his
favorite occupation of perusing a pile
of newspapers that daily come to him
through the mail. Although Maj
Mckinley has never had any newspa-
per experience, he has faculty of dis
posing of and getting the meat out of
a huge pile of newspapers that would
reflect credit upon some of the most
trained exchange editors.

m.klNLEY.s POLICY.
Mark Hanna Outlines what He Believes
It WIN Be.

It VIII Be.
New YORK, Nov. 9.-The World says:
Mark Hanna has given the World the
following outline of what he under
stands to be President-elect McKiniey's
general policy:
II have had but comparatively brief conver-
sations with Mai. Mckinley since his election.
Next week expect TO meet him az Cleveland.
and, as he has had time 70 think over
matters, presume he will have more
details than I am at present aware Of.
But this much know. he feels that no
owes much to the patriotic democrats who
prefer principle TO strict party ties. Indiana,
for instance, was unquestionably carried
against fusion by democratic votes. He rec
democratic and independent newspapers dur.
ing the campaign.
Maj Mckinley will endeavor to see col
iected great national party that will give
prosperity to the country. He expects and
hopes that men OF all shades of former
political belief will be united to this end
have talked with some Of the most influential
of the old democratic leaders, and / am glad
to say they are in accord with Maj. McKinley's
hopes.
THE first movement he will make will be TO
obtain sufficient revenue to conduct the gov
ernment. Further issues of bonds would be
altogether too dangerous. Business prospert-
ty and stability demand that soon as poSSi-
BILE the government should be on a paying
basis. To this end an extra session Of con-
gress viii be necessary and President McKin-
ley will undoubtedly call one soon after his in
auguration.
Legislation will be required to secure the
desired revenue, and Mr.. Mckinley will do
everything In his power to secure it, as well
the legal establishment OF a policy which will
tend to put everybody at work In all this he
hopes and expects that he will be backed by
patriotic men, regardless OF party lines
"As for myself, / am not after any ONCE,
and will endeavor to attend to private busl-
ness affairs which need my personal super
vision"
Asked what democrats of note he
had talked with on the subject of the
future, Mr.. Hanna said:
II do not wish to name them all, but
/ may mention Messrs. w. G Whitney
and Abraham :. Hewitt as examples.

The Centennial.

Hon. A. w. Wills of Nashville, in an
interview last week said concerning the
outlook for the exposition:
''We are greatly encouraged" he said.
with the prospect for great success.
1t was eminently fortunate and wise
that circumstances and decision were
against opening the exposition this
year, since it is probable that very
small attendance would have resulted
and perhaps the number of exhibitors
would have been small. The excite
ment, agitation and uncertainty Incl.
dental to the presidential year would
have initiated against US.
f'I believe now that our success will
be second only to thai of the Worlds
Fair itself. The buildings are prac-
tically completed and are certainly Sec
ond in their character only to those
seen at Chicago. In addition to this
feature the exhibits will certainly ex-
ceed those which were made at any
other exposition"

the Guild hall at IL a. m. The
weather was bright and sunny,
and the crowds which lined the
streets through which the pageant

was more of the nature of a military
parade than usual, contingents Of
regulars, volunteers, cavalry and artil.
lery being included in the line Among
the features of the parade were cars
containing illustrations of the uni
forms worn in the British army with
in the last century. and similar Illus
trations Of those worn in the navy
during the same period. also stages
containing women and men in the cos
tunes in vogue in 1896. These were
followed by the motor cars now in use
as conveyances, and behind them were
allegoric cars describing the history of
the city of London. The entire show
was of the most gorgeous character.
