Canton, O., July 12.-President Nc
Kinley was to-day formally notified OF
his denomination by the republican ma
tional convention. The official notifica-
ton was brought by committee, head
ed by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
appointed by the convention. The COM
mittee came to Canton by special train
from Cleveland, and was accompanied
by Chairman Hanna and several MEM
bers of the republican national commit
tee. Senator Lodge made the notifica-
| ton speech. His remarks were fire.
quently interrupted with applause.
When he closed President Mckinley
mounted the stand, the assemblage
arose and cheered enthusiastically. 1t
was some moments before the president
could begin his remarks He held a
manuscript, but he referred to it only
at long intervals. When he mentioned
the new peoples under our care" there
was a hearty burst of applause He
said:
Senator Lodge and gentlemen of the
notification committee: The message
which you bring to me is one of signal
honor. 1t is also a summons to duty.
A single nomination for the office of
president by a great party which in
thirty-tWo years out of forty has been
triumphant at national elections Is a
distinction which I gratefully cherish.
To receive unanimous denomination by
the same party is an expression of re-
gard and a pledge of continued conf
dence for which it is difficult to make
adequate acknowledgment,
If anything exceeds the honor of the
office of president of the United States
it is the responsibility which attaches'to
it. Having been invested with both, l
do not under-appraise either Anyone
who has borne the auxietes and bur-
dens of the presidential office, especially
in time of national trial, cannot contem-
plate assuming it a second time without
profoundly realizing the severe exac-
tons and the solemn obligations which
it imposes and this feeling is accentu-
ated by the momentous problems which
now press for settlement If my coun-
trymen shall confirm the action of the
convention at our national election in
November, l shall, craving divine guild
ance, undertake the exalted trust, to
administer it for the interest and honor
of the country and the we'll being Of the
new peoples who have become the OBJ
jects of our care. The declaration of
principles adopted at the convention
have my hearty approval. At some fu-
ture date l will consider it subject to
detail, and will by letter communicate
to your chairman a more formal accept |
ance of the nomination.
On like occasion four years ago | |

duct of our greatest war, that promptly |

Cured by this war, and that resumed |
specie payments and placed our paper |

both our credit and currency with hon

They hold its preservation above party
fealty, and have often demonstrated |
that party ties avail nothing when the |
spotless credit of our country is threat
