paign Will Be Fousht-News Is Also
Broken to Governor Roosevelt
CANTON, July 13.-William Mckinley
was yesterday officially notified of his
second nomination by the Republican
party for the highest office in the gift
of the republic.
There was enthusiasm enough and to
spare, and to many of the pointed ut
terances of both Senator Lodge and the
president there was hearty and cordial
approval shown. Important features
OF the speech of notification by Senator
Lodge and the response by President
Mckinley were the references to the
Chinese situation. This caused great
deal of discussion during the conference
following the formal speech making
and the impression created was that
these utterances We're notification to
the world that the United States in
tended to preserve all its rights in
China. The most impressive parts of
the presidents speech were his refer
ences to the maintenance of the gold
standard and the financial public faith,
the preservation of a protective tariff
the enlargement of our market, espec-
tally the phrase "prosperity at home
and prestige abroad.
When he asked, "Shall we go back
to the tariff of four years ago." there
were shouts of ''No. no." from every
longed cheer greeted his words relative
to the maintenance of our authority in
the Philippines. With the keenest in
terest everybody followed that part re-
ferring to our foreign relations and
there was a most earnest attention when
he declared we should have executive
control over the territory possessed by
the United States, and another outburst
when he said such authority would be
coupled with "liberty and humanity"
His declaration that the United States
had reclaimed lO,000,000 human beings
from imperialism made a decided inn
preston.
President McKinley's Response.
The message which you bring to me is
one of signal honor. 1t is also a summons
to duty. A single nomination for the OF
flee Of president by a great party which in
80 years out of 40 has been triumphant al
national elections is u distinction which
gratefully cherish. To receive IA unani
NOUS nomination by the same party is al
expression of regard and a pledge of con
tinued confidence for which it is Difficult,
to make acknowledgment.
The declaration of principles adopted
by the convention has my hearty appro
val. AT some future date | will consider
it's subjects in detail and will, by letter
communicate to your chairman a moro
formal acceptance of the nomination.

people are not unfamiliar with what ha!
been accomplished. The gold standard

Threat of 1896 Renewed.
Unfortunately, the threat of 1896 ha
lust been renewed hy the allied partie
without abatement or modification. Th,
gold bill has been denounced and its re
peal demanded. The menace of 16 to l

dire consequences to credit and conf

enemies of sound currency are rallyins

once more unite and overcome the advo
