ant Day for All.

CANTON, O., July 12.-William McKin-
ley was today 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 utterances 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 a great deal Of discussion during
the conference following the formal
speech-making, and the impression Gre
atsd was that these utterances were q
notification to the world that the United
Staes inended to preserve all is rights in
China
The most Impressive portions of the
presidents speech were his references to
the maintenance of the gold standard,
and the financial public faith, the preser-
walton of a protective tariff, the enlarge
ment of our market. and especially 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 mo, No." from every part of
the audience.
| Another prolonged cheer greeted his
words relative to the maintenance of our
authority in the Philippines. With the
keenest interest everybody followed the
| portion Of the speech relating to the new
| possessions, and there was a most impress
| siYe shout when he declared that there
should be continued 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 100000 human beings
| from imperialism" made decided i'm,
preston.
PRESIDENT AT HIS BEST.
The president seemed at his best. He
was In good voice and good spirits. His
appearance indicated the best of health,
and his voice rang out loud and clear.
reaching the outskirts of tho vast throng
which surrounded the house, and ex-
tended over the lawn and across the
street, speaking from the same place
| where he received the formal notification
| four years ago.
While the speech of the president closed
the formal notification, other speakers
were called for, Senator Fairbanks, of
Indiana; Senator Hanna, chairman of the
national committee; Charles Emory
Smith, postmaster general; Col Samuel
Parker, of Hawaii, and Senator Lodge
were heard. These speakers, with the ex-
! ception Of Col Parker, who was called
out of compliment to the Pacific islands,
took occasion tc refer to the recent acton
of The Democratic national convention
in Kansas City.
| 1t was evident that Senator Fairbanks
intended to make the money question the
! dominant issue of the campaign, denying
! that with 16 to i in their platform the
Democrats could make imperialism the
| leading issue.
Senator Hanna adjured Republican
voters to remember the Importance of the
campaign.
Postmaster General Smith warned his
hearers that Democratic success would
disarrange the business interests Of the
country.
The features of the second speech of
Senator Lodge were his resentment of
criticism of President Mckinley by his
opponents and his pointing out the diff
Guilty Mr.. Bryan would have in selecting
a cabinet from the men prominent in the
conventions at Kansas City and Sioux
Falls.
The day was perfect Not a trace of the
storm of last evening was seen.
The notification committee and party
came from Cleveland on special train.
They were met at the station, and in
| carriages escorted to the home of Presi-
dent Mckinley. The Tippecanoe club, of
Cleveland, was given the place of honor,
next the band, while the Canton citizens
welcomed the delegation with cheers as
it passed through the streets.
Decorations were not plentiful but the
American flag flowed from many business
houses and residences along the route of
| the procession
