Canton, Ohio, July 12.-The severe
storm of last night was succeeded today
by real Mckinley weather" The day
dawned bright and clear with a crisp
ley residence the effects Of the storm
Wre apparent in the disarrangement of
the flag decorations and the big
luncheon tent, but these were soon
Strengthened up and everything was in
readiness for the ceremony at the ap-
pointed time. The second modification
Of William Mckinley that he has been
selected as the nominee Of the rpublican
party for president was made at the
same place as the first and all the acces-
sories We're similar to those of four years
ago. Then the chairman Of the commit
tee was Senator Thurston of Nebraska,
who had been permanent chairman Of
the convention. Today Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge OF Massachusetts, stood
upon the porch and in the presence of
vast multitudes formally notified Presi-
dent Mckinley that he was the unani-
nous choice of the republican national
convention for president. The speech
of Senator Lodge and the response of
Mr.. Mckinley We're intended to be more
than formal and to a certain extent
formed the basis upon which the cam
paign is to be fought upon. Their utter
ances We're listened to with the closest
attention. by the many prominent re-
publicans who were present. Chairman
Lodge and the members of the notifca-
tion committee, together with Chairman
Hanna and members Of the national
committee, arrived on a special train
Cleveland at II O'clock They were met
at the station by citizens committee
in charge of. the arrangements commit
tee and with a band of music and es-
oorted to the home Of President McKin-
ley. Several flags had been flung to the
breeze in the early morning and the
streets through which the procession
moved had some Indicate of a cele-
bration. The various organizations and
clubs as they marched to the president s
home We're grouped about the place
within seeing and hearing distance of
the ceremonies.
Some time before the arrival of the
notification party President Mckinley
went out into the yard and inspected
and approved the arrangements. The
president wore a white fedora hat a
broad expanse of white vest and sack
coat of very democratic appearance. He
greeted the different arrivals in a most
corzAA and friendly manner A large
epace in the front yard was roped off and
filled with chairs for the notification
part and distinguished guests. Tables
were also provided for the press. Out
side the roped space numerous photo
graphic outfits were set up and trained
