CANTON, 0., May 29.—1 have come to Canton in order to tell you how the leading Republican candidate for the nomination looks, acts and talks within a few days of the convention at St. Louis. Maj. McKinley is today the foremost man in the thoughts of the American people. There are millions of Republicans who think that nothing but death can prevent his being the next president of the United States. I have no doubt that he holds the same opinion, and that he feels him self face to face with the problems and responsibilities of one of the most trying times of our history. Within the next three weeks the most moment ous questions of his life are to be de cided, and In the minds of many the future prosperity, or the reverse, of the American people depends upon him. You would imagine that a man in such a situation would have his nervous system keyed up to the highest ten sion. You would picture him surround ed by an army of lieutenants and wire pullers. Your mind would suggest a great literary bureau, a corps of tele graph operators connecting his offices with all parts of the Union, and the other political machinery which is sup posed to be connected with every great ante-presidential campaign. I expected to find something of this kind myself, but if Maj. McKinley has It. he does not keep it at Canton. The working part of the machinery may be in operation at Cleveland, where Mark Hanna is In charge, at Mansfield or Columbus, where Col. William Hahn pulls the wires, or—but I trust not—at Washington, where the genial Gen. Grosvenor blows predictions, covered with figures, like soap bubbles into the air—each bubble iridescent with the glowing- future of McKinley. M'KINLEY AT CANTON. Maj. McKinley, to all outward ap pearances, has more leisure than any other of the presidential candidates. I have spent a day with him, and he is gs cool as the center seed of a cucum ber. He has time for plenty of long p/alks, and he takes a drive every aft ernoon with Mr*. McKinley. In the svqntng he goes out t\j call upon his friends, and he spends a part of each day with his mother, who lives here within about a mile of his house. He rises at about 7:30 every morning, breakfasts at 8, lunches at 1, and has THE SAINT PAUL GLOffiK his dinner at 6:30. He goes to bed every evening at about 11 o'clock, and sleeps like a baby. He has no trouble whatever with his digestion, eats what he pleased, and smokes ad libitum without fear of affecting his nerves. The chief part of his time is taken up in the receiving of callers, and he spends hours in chatting with his friends on the veranda which runs around the front of his house. His life today seems to be more that of rest than of work. For the past dozen odd years he has been in the thick of political life, and he seems today to be taking a vacation. The excitement In regard to his nomination has not phased him, and I ha^e never seen him in better physical and intellectual condition than he is now. He has, you know, a wonderful powei of endurance, and as a public speaker he can talk for hours without tiring. I have heard striking stories of his oratorical feats, and if he should become president and take a "swing about the circle," he will break the record. In his trip through Kansas last year he spoke to 150,000 people in two days. He spoke twelve times in one day, and during another part of the Journey he made twenty-one speeches in sixteen hours, and looked as fresh as a daisy at the close. During another tour he made 370 speeches, and at another time for eight weeks he averaged more than seven speeches a diay, speaking to more than 2,000,000 people within two months. He takes no stimulants dur ing his campaign. He is not a drinking man in any sense of the word, though he is not a prohibitionist. He speaks easily, but has no special methods of training, nor any rules of diet, in order to keep himself in trim. He once told me that he did not like to speak, and that he trembled when ever he had to appear before a new au dience. He said that his heart went down into his boots whenever he .rose to speak, and that this was the case, notwithstanding the fact that he had been making speeches for more than a score of years. HOW M'KINLEY TALKS. The man who knows McKinley only upon the stump, however, has not the proper conception of the man. He is far different in private conversation. His speeches are serious matters with him. He prepares for them, and never joke's nor tells stories during them. SUNDAY MORNING, 31 AY 31, 1896.—TWENTY PAGES. It Is different when chatting with his friends. He is then perfectly at home, and ho illustrates many of his points by anecdotes. He tells a story well, but never relates anything that could not be told In the presence of ladies. During my stay here such conversa tion as I have had with him has been with the understanding that it is not for publication. The situation is such that anything he might say today would probably be misconstrued by his opponents, and he has so far refused all attempts to draw him out. There are now a half dozen newspaper men here, representing journals in ail parts of the country, from Boston to San Francisco. The governor is polite and friendly with all, but he will talk poli tics with none. M'KINLEY'S ROMANTIC HOME. But let me tell you how Gov. Mc- Kinley lives at Canton. His home is a house with a history. Every room in it Is associated with the life of the governor, and his possession of it to day is to a large extent a matter of sentiment. He does not own the house, I think, but rents it. When I met him at Columbus during the last days of his governorship, he told me that he had arranged to lease it, and said that he and Mrs. McKinley were anxious to get back to it. It is the house in which they first lived after their marriage. This occurred when McKinley was a young lawyer, and his wife, Miss Ida Saxton, was one of the belles of Stark county. She was the daughter of one of the richest and most influential citi zens, John Saxton, the editor and foun der of the Canton Repository, a paper which began its publication away back in 1815, and which today is one of the leading newspapers of Ohio. It was In this house that they spent their honey moon. Here, on Christmas day, in 1871, their first daughter, a sweet little girl, was born.and there three years later she died. Here Mrs. McKinley's second daughter and only other child died when yet a little baby, and here today the ex-governor and his wife lead as loving a domestic life as they did a score and more years ago. The house is a yellow frame cottage-like structure of two stories. It is about three blocks, I judge, from the public square, and is situated on North Market street, in the heart of the fashionale quarter of the city. The street In front of it is paved with Canton brick, for which the city Is noted, and of which it makes about 100,000,000 every year. Gov. Mc- Kinely's home is on the corner. The lot is about fifty feet front and a beau tiful lawn surrounds the house. The cottage has a porch In Its front, upon which there are half a dozen comforta ble rocking chairs. "Here the governor receives his callers during these hot summer days, and here he chats in the evening with his Canton friends. En tering the front door you come into a wide hall with parlors to the right and left. It was in the one at the right that I chatted during a part of my stay with Maj.McKinley. It was plainly furnished, and the only large pictures upon its walls were a portrait of Mrs. McKinleyandan engraving of Abraham Lincoln. At the back of the hall there is ! a stairway leading to the second floor. M'KINLEY'S CANTON BUREAU. Here I found Maj. McKinley's office, I and here are the only evidences that j you can see In Canton of the McKinley I literary bureau. It is merely a bed- j room, carpeted with matting and fur- | nished with a wall of shelves, a type- ! writer table and a flat-top desk. The j bed, which is used when the house is [ crowded with visitors,- still stands in I the room, but all day long the govern- I or's pretty stenographer ticks away on the typewriter, answering the mail j of a presidential candidate. The corre- ! spondence is necessarily enormous, and j as the convention approaches It in- j creases every day. Nearly everything requires an answer, and there are from j fifty to sixty letters every mall, rang- ! ing from 200 to 300 a day. On the day j of the Illinois convention, which in- i structed the delegates to vote for Me- ! Kinley, more than 200 telegrams of i congratulations were received, and \ every mall brings letters of this nature, i The major's gubernatorial secretary has ' the correspondence in charge, and die- j tates the answers to most of It after i directions given by Mr. McKinley. The J mail wher. It first comes to the house is | opened by Mrs. McKinley, she and the j governor looking over It together, and I the governor then giving his directions J as to how it is to be answered. From long experience in public life, Mr. Mc- Kinley has learned how to use the work of other men, and he answers himself only such letters as are neces sary. Much of the mail Is made up of | begging letters. People 'from all parts j of the country write for money, though it is known that McKinley Is a compar- j atively poor man. Ma/iy letters come i from politicians who claim that they have done or can do a gp-eat deal for j McKinley, and every fay or so a let ter appears from a man who insists ; that he is the "Original McKinley j Man," and that he was the first to pre- I sent his name to the country as a can didate for the presidency. M'KINLEY'S RELIGION. During a drive this afternoon I saw the church in which Maj.r* McKinley was married. It is the Presbyterian church of Canton. It te situated on the main business street of the town. Miss Ida Sax ton was then one of the Sunday school teachers of thai church, and Maj. McKinley was superintendent of the Sunday school of the Methodist church further down the way. Since the marriage Mr. and Mrs. McKinley have attended the Methodist church, and during their stay In Washington they went, I believe, to the Foundry Methodist church, which is on the cor- ner of G and Fourteenth streets, not far from the Ebbitt house, where the McKinleys lived. Mrs. McKinley, on account of her poor health, is not al ways able to attend church. The ma jor usually goes, and here in Canton he may be seen every Sunday at the Meth odist church. He believes, you know, in Christianity. He has never made cap ital of his religion, however, and there is nothing of the Pharisee about him. On the other hand, he has a deep re ligious side to his nature. He has nothing to do with the Infidelity and free thought which are so common among many of our public men, and he never says anything against re ligion, even In jest. He only says that there are many things in this life which he cannot explain, and that, though religion is in some respects a mystery to him, he has, nevertheless. Implicit faith in It. I have been told that he ie very fond of Methodist hymns, and that he often hums them over to himself while at work. His mother hoped that he would be a Methodist minister, and she had an ambition of some day seeing him a bishop of the Methodist church. Mc- Kinley, however, took to the law rather than to theology. He studied law while he was teaching school in a little country district not far from here, then took a course at the Albany law school, and began his practice here in Canton. M'KINLEY AS A LAWYER. I have chatted with many of the old lawyers here about McKinley as a lawyer. He had a fair practice when he went Into politics, and was making money. One of his law students, who Is now a leading practitioner here, said: "McKinley was, I think, the equal of any lawyer in Ohio at the time he went to congress. He was at one time pros ecuting attorney of this county, which then had about 60,000 people, and his business was very large. He had also a large private practice, and was an all-around good lawyer." "Was he much of a money maker?" I asked. "I don't know about that," was the reply. "I judge he would have made money at the law had he stuck to it. He was a hard worker, and studied his cases. As he went on, however, he became interested In politics, and after he entereed congress he paid but little attention to the law." M'KINLEY'S FIRST CASE. It was an old judge who told me about McKinley's first law case. It was In a suit for replevin, and Mc- Kinley reclved $25 for his work. He was at the time a student in the law office of Judge George W. Belden. He had been admitted to the bar, but, having no clients, was still reading law in Belden's office. One day the old judge came In and said to McKinley: "William, I want you to try the Blank case for me tomorrow. I find that I will not be able to attend to it." "But, judge," said McKinley, "I don't know anything about it. I have never tried a case In my life. I am afraid I can't do it." "Oh, yes you can," said the Judge. "You have got to do it. I must go away, and that case Is sure to come up. Here are the papers," and with that the judge threw a lot of papers un the table beside McKinley, and left. McKinley took up the case, and went Into it. He sat up all night and work ed at it. At 10 o'clock the next day he was on hand when the court opened. He took the place of Judge Belden, made an argument, and won the ca.s>-. As he was speaking he happened to look at the back of the court room, and there he saw Judge Belden sitting. This seemed rather queer to him, but he afterward found that Belden had put up the job to test what he could do as a lawyer. The next day the Judge came Into the office and said to McKinley: "Well, William, you've won the case, and here is your fee." As he said this he took out his pocketbook and handed McKinley $25. "But," said young McKinley, "I can't take that, judge. It was only a night's work. It ain't worth it, and I can't take it," and with that he offered the bill to the judge. "Oh, yes you can," was the reply. "You have earned the money, and you must take it. Besides, it is all right. I shall charge my client $100 for the work, and It Is only right that you should have this $25. This argument overcame McKlnley's scruples, and he took the money. VISIT TO M'KINLEYS MOTHER. During my stay here I have made a most pleasant call upon Mrs. Nancy Allison McKinley, the aged mother of the governor. She lives at some dis tance from McKlnley's home, in a very' pretty two-story cottage, with her daughter. Miss Helen McKinley. I made the call in company with George Frease, the proprietor of the Canton Repository, and the most enthusiastic McKinley man you will find In Ohio. The door was opened by Miss McKin ley, a bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked young lady, who led us Into the parlor, and who, a moment later, Introduced me to her mother. I wish I could show you Maj. McKlnley's mother as she came into the parlor yesterday after noon. Imagine a bright-eyed motherly old lady, dressed in soft black, with a white lace collar about the throat, and a cap of snow white on her head. Let her be straight, well formed and of medium height. Let her hair be the color of frosted silver and have it combed so that the strands curl just over the ears before they are tucked into the snowy cap. Let her face be strong, but at the dame time sweet and motherly, and let her eyes smile as Cordially as those of a young girl when PAGES 13 to 20.

Physically and Intellectually she doei I not appear to he more than sixty. She walked Into the room with a firm stop and stood for a momfnt unk ing after my Introduction before sho sat down. She pulled her chair close to ; mine as we talked, saying that sh- was j Just a little deaf. I found, how- r, | no trouble in making her underhand I me, and for a half hour we chatted \ about the major and about the Btir \ ring times of her long life. As she talked I coud not realize that she was : eighty-seven years old. Think of ltl I She was born in 1809, six years before I Napoleon fought the battle of W j 100. and when James Madison was just at the beginning of his career as : ! ident of the United States. Our great Middle states were then a wilderness, ' and the vast domain acquired thi ! the Louisiana purchase had been in Uncle Sam's hands just about six years. She was a girl of ten when wo boug*ht Florida from Spain, and she was in her thirties when we acquired Texas and California. At her birth tha country contained about 7.000,000 : . pie. She has seen it grow Into an in ' dustrial empire of 70,000,000. ami t i her son held up as the possible ruler I of It all. Such an experience would i turn the ordinary woman's bead, It has not In the least affected that of Mrs. McKinley. She has the same ; sterling common sense which shows out I so forcibly In her son. She Is proud of him, it is true, but her feeling is that of a womanly, motherly pride, and not a mannish nor a sentimental one. She Is proud of him In that she believes he Is a good man, and that by this he has gained the respect of other men. But I am sure she would rather see him bo , plain William McKinley all his life than that he should do one thiny <!<? rogatory to his manhood or the right. : It is through his mother, I doubt not, that much of McKlnley's strength ! comes, and I venture to say that bifl ■ respect for her opinion and her train ■ Ing has enabled him to resist man/ . temptations. —Prank G.
