CANTON, o., July l3.--Important fea-
lures OF the speech formally notifying
President Mckinley OF his renomina-
ton by Senator Lodge and the response
by President Mckinley were the refer
ences TO the Chinese situation. This
caused a great deal of discussion during
the conference following the formal
speech-making, aud the impression Gre
ated was that these utterances were
notification to the world that the United
States intends to preserve all It's rights IN
China. The impressive portions OF the
president 5 speech were his references TO
the maintenance OF the gold standard and
the financial public faith, the preserya-
ton of a protective tariff, the enlargement
of our market, and especially the catchy
phrase, Prosperity at home and prestIge
abroad" His declaration that the Inited
States had reclaimed "l0,000,000 humanfbeines
from Imperialism was a decided hit ana
there were many requests for him TO repeat
the sentence. This turn of the word used SO
much by the opposition WAS considered one OF
the adroit features of the speech.
The president seemed at his best. His APP
pearance Indicated splendid health, ana ms
the outskirts of the vast throng which sur
rounded the house and extended over the
lawn and across the street.
Other speakers We're called for.
Senator Fairbanks of Indiana: Senator Kan
ma chairman of the national Commute; Chas.
Emory Smith, postmaster general; Colonel
Samuel Parker, of Hawaii, and Senator Lodge
were heard--the last named speaking twice.
These speakers, with the exception Of Colonel
Parker who was called out of compliment to
the Pacific islands. took occasion to refer to
the recent action of the Democratic national
convention in Kansas City. Ii was the hrst
public occasion in which Republican speakers
had attempted to dissect and criticize the
platform recently adopted by their opponents.
Senator Fairbanks evidently intended TO make
the money question the dominant issue OF the
campaign denying that with 10 TO In their
platform the Democrats could make i'm
perialisme the leading issue. Senator Hanna
abjured Republican voters to remember the
Importance Of their campaign.
Postmaster General Smith warned his hear
ers that Democratic success would d1sarrange
the business interests Of the country.
In his second speech Senator Lodge resented
the criticism of President Mckinley by his OPP
ponents and pointed out the difficulty Bryan
would have in selecting cabinet from the men
prominent in the conventions at Kansas City
and Sioux Falls.
The notification committee and party came
from Cleveland ON special train, making the
run in one hour and twenty one minutes.
They were met at the station and in carriages
escorted to the home OF President Mckinley.
The Tippeeanoe club, Of Cleveland, was given
the place of honor, next TO the band. The
American flag foated from many business
houses and residences along the route of the
procession. Other delegations from nearby
cities and towns helped to swell the large
throng
After luncheon had been served, the party
leaders went with the president into the house.
There were 4 number of informal conferences,
but tie time devoted almost wholly to
giving the visitors an opportunity to become
personally acquainted with the president.
While there was a considerable discussion Of
politics aud future politics. this was confined
largely To the members eft the national com
mttee. Later, the last of the Cleveland party,
including Sanator Hanna, Mr.. Bliss, Mr., Payne
and others left the Mckinley residence to take
the train for home. President Mckinley accom-
panied them to their carriages and babe them
good bye.
Mir. Lodge said:
Mr. PREslDeNr-T committee, represent
ing every state in the nation, and the organ
ized territories of the Uuited States, was duly
appointed To announce to you, formally, your
nomination by the Republican national conven-
tien, which met III Philadelphia on June 10 last.
AZ the candidate of the Republican party for
president Of the United States for the term
beginning March f. 1901 To be selected by the
Republican party as their candidate for this
great office is always one of the highest honors
which can be given TO any man. This nomina-
ton, however, comes to you, sir, under circum-
stances which give it higher significance and
make it an even deeper expression of honor
and trust than usual You were nominated
unanimously at Philadelphia. You received
the enforced vote Of every delegate, from
every state and every territory.
The harmony of sentiment which appeara on
the face of the record was but the reflection
of the deeper harmony which existed in the
hearts and minds of the delegates Without
factions, without dissent, with profound salts
sactiuu aud eager enthusiasm you were notni
mated for the presidency by the united voice of
the rep seatatives of our great party in
which t.efe is neither sign of division nor
shadow Of turning. Such unanimity. always
remarkable, il here the more impressive he

the great office which you nave held for fonr
years. 1t is not the facile triumph of how
over experience, but the sober approval ~
conduct and character tested in many trials
and tried BY heavy and extraordinary re-
sponsibthtes. Wlth the exception of the
period in which Washington organized the ma
ton and built the state, and of those other
awful years when Lincoln led his peonle
through the agony Of civil war and saved from
destruction the work of Washington there has

in the policy which has made Hawaii posses
sion of the United States. On all these oues-
tions you fulfilled the hopes and justified the
confidence OF the people, who four years ago
put trust in our promise. Bat on all these
questions, also, you had as guides, not only
your own principles, the well considered re-
suits Of years of training and reflection, but
also, the plain declarations of the national
convention which nominated you in 1896 Far
