The staff correspondent Of the Chica-

to his paper:
Those in the Canton reception com
mittee rode, as If to the funeral of one
of their own kin. They had known Will
liam Mckinley and worked with him
in business and official and social life
for years. They loved him as brother
and as a brother they mourned his
death.
Some of them gave away utterly to
their emotions and wept like children
A notable example was Judge Isaac II

with Mr.. Mckinley when they rep

Suicide or Murder.

Toledo, o., Sept. 2O.-About o'clock
Thursday afternoon woman came
screaming from building in the rear of
the disorderly house Of Belle Stevenson.
An investigation revealed the dead
body of man named Christian Schus-
ter, whose home was on Champlain
street. He lay fiat on his back and pro-
tiuding from his breast, just above the
heart, was the hilt of two-edged dirk
knife, while the floor of the little build
ing and walls were literally drenched
with his blood. The body was rigid,
and the right hand looked as If 1t had
but partially loosened hold on the
handle Of the dagger.
Whether 1t is murder or suicide is a
problem that is agitating the police to-
night.

mittee, and as one man the body arose
to its feet.
When the call of counties was made.
Ed. A. King, for Columbiana, and John
w. Whitcraft, for Carroll, reported
that they had no candidates, and each
named Henry w. Harter. Attorney II.
B. Webber, for stark, placed Mr.. Har.
ter's name before the convention in q
brief speech, in which he extolled the
man. There was applause from Car
roll when he said that county had
given some of the best Judges that
had ever graced the bench, some OF
whom Canton had kept. Judge Nc.
Carly and Judge Taylor are both pro.
ducts of that county.
Ed. A. King moved that the nonina-
ton be made unanimous, which was
done by rising vote.
Judge Taylor, ID. o. Rutan and Sner-
man Atchison were appointed COM
mittee to apprisc Mr.. Harter that ho
had been nominated and bring him to
the hall. In few moments they ap-
peared with the nominee, who was i'm.
troduced to the convention by Chair
man Smith
Mr. Harter said in opening his re-
marks: Gentlemen, we meet here to-
day under the shadow of Il great sor.
row." He then spoke briefly and feel.
ingly of the death of the late president
and simply thanked the Republicans
for the honor they had conferred uEon
him. He was literally applaudcd when
he took his seat.
In his address he related an incident
Of the assassination of President Gar
field. He said that at memorial SER
vice held on the square President Nc
Kinley made the address, and in speak.
ing Of the dead president he quoted
Tennyson's "In Memoriam," which
Garfield had recited in a memorial adj
dress on Lincoln. Mr.. Harter then
asked what more fitting than this be
given as applying to the late president
who so recently was removed from the
midst of the people.
After the judiciary committee had
been empowered to fi]l all vacancies,
the convention adjourned. The dele.
gates then personally congratulated
Mr.. Harter upon his nomination.
