The Notification Committee Of the st.
Louis Convention appeared at Canton on
| June 20. MCKINLEY was naturally no less
alive than other people to the Importance
! of their function, and to the prominence
which would attach to his words ac-
knowledging the information that he was
the st. Louis candidate. "Great are the
issues involved in the coming election"
said he, and with the next breath, "our
domestic trade must be won back" Taking
from the speech the two most pregnant SEN
tences we have:
Protection and reciprocity should again command
the earnest encouragement OF the Government AZ

The speech to the Christian Endeavorers
on Juno 80, which was not reported in de-
tail, may be supposed, like the addresses on
similar occasions, to have been non-politi-
cal There are no details OF the speech to a
detachment from the Columbus Encamp
ment of the Union Veteran Legion, who
followed the Christian Endeavorers.
BY the first Of July the visitors had in
creased in number and grown in signifl-
canoe. The first caller was the Hon. GAR
RET A. HOBART. who, from the porch Of
the Mckinley mansion, concluded his long
address to the thousands crushing together
on the lawn, by expressing confidence that
the nominee in the tickets first place
would lead this great people up
into the highlands of broad and
expanding industrial prosperity" Az

brilliant and powerful grafton with which
the Hon. THOMAS BRACKET REED started
the Republican campaign in Maine at AL

export OF gold will cease. With the certainty that
the dollar paid will 10 equal to the dollar lent will
come credit and confidence. With that other
tainty that to do all work will como

bass of the prosperity of the whole people"
On that same afternoon Major MCKINLEY
accepted bust of himself from the Republi-
can Club of the University of Chicago with
out referring to politics. The word "gold
was first uttered at Canton on the same
day, in a response to a delegation from
Knoxville, Pa:
"You are right Mr.. Spokesman in saying that tho
Republican party stands It has always stood.
for a sound and stable currency. deprecated cur
rency would work disaster. Our currency to-day 10
