An Open Declaration in Hl* Speech Reply
ing to the Address Officially Noti
-4 fylug Him of Ills Nomi
nation.
Canton, 0., .Tune 30. —The republican
notification committee, having finished
its business here and departed, the ex
citement attending its presence has
somewhat subsided, although its visit
to this city will long be a theme of con
versation for the inhabitants. Major
McKinley received the committee
standing on the veranda. The streets
about tiie house were filled with men,
women and children, who surged
through the gates and pressed close up
to chairs where the committee und
guests sat. Senutor Thurston, as
chairman of the committee, made the
speech of notification. In it lie likened
the people of the country to the
"scourged and repeutant Israelites of
©ld, who adjured their idols and re
sumed unquestioning alliance to Moses
and the God of Moses. Even so the
people who scurned your counsels
speedily witnessed the fulfillment of
your prophecies and turn to you und
to those glorious principles for which
you stand, in the full belief that in
your candidacy and the republican
platform the end of the wilderness has
come, and the promised land of Ameri
can prosperty is again to them an in
sured inheritance."
Major McKinley'* Reply.
In reply, Major McKinley spoke, in
part, as follows: "To be selected us the
presidential cundidate by a great party
convention, representing *o vast a
number of the people of the United
States, is a most distinguished honor,
for which 1 would not conceal my high
appreciation, although deeply sensible
of the great responsibilities of the
trust and my inability to bear them
"without the generous and constant
support of ray fellow-countrymen.
Great as is the honor conferred,
equally arduous and important is the
duty imposed, and in accepting the one
I assume the other, relying upon the
patriotic devotion of the people to the
best interests of our beloved country
and the sustaining care and aid of lliin.
without whose support all we do is
empty and vain. Should the people
ratify the choice of the great conven
tion for which you speak, my only aim
will be to promote the public good,
which in America is always the good
of the greatest number, the honor of
our country and the welfare of the
people.
Great I**ues Involved.
"Great are the issues involved in the
coming election, and eager and earnest
the people for their right determina
tion. Our domestic trade must be won
buck, and our idle working people em
ployed in gainful occupations at
American wages. Our home market
must be restored to its proud rank of
first in th 6 world, and our foreign
trade, so precipitately cut off by ad
verse national legislation, reopened ou
fair and equitable terms to our surplus
agricultural and manufacturing pro
ducts. Protection and reciprocity,
twin measures of a true American
policy, should again command the
earnest encouragement of the govern
ment at Washington. Public confi
dence must bo resumed, and the skill,
the energy and capital of the country
find ample employment at home, sus
tained. encouraged and defended
against the unequal competition and
serious disadvantages with which they
are now coutending. The government
of the United States must raise enough
money to meet both its current ex
penses and increasing needs. Its reve
nues should be so raised as to protect
the material interests of our people,
with the lightest possible drain upon
their resources, and maintain that
high standard of civilization which
has distinguished our country for more
than a century of its existeuce. The
income of the government, I repeat,
should equal its necessary and proper
expenditures. A failure to pursue this
policy has compelled the government
to borrow money, in a time of peace,
to sustain its credit and to pay its daily
expenses. This policy should be re
versed. and that, too, as speedily as
possible.
Tlia National Credit.
"The nutionul credit, which lias
thus fur fortunately resisted every
assault upon it, must be upheld and
strengthened. If sufficient revenues
are provided for the support of the
government, there will be no necessity
fur borrowing money and increasing
the public debt. The complaint of the
people is not agairst the administra
tion for borrowing money und issuing
bonds to preserve the credit of the
country, but against the ruinous
policy which has made this necessary,
owing to the policy which has been in
augurated. The inevitable effect of
such a policy is seen in the deficiency
in the United States treasury exeep*.
as it is replenished by loans, and in
the distress of the people who are suf
fering because of the scant demand for
either labor and the products of their
labor. The party that supplied, by
legislation, the vast revenues for the
conduct of our greatest war, that
promptly restored the credit of the
country at its close, that from
abundant revenues paid off * large
share of the debt incurred in that war.
and that resumed specie payments an' 1
placed our paper currency upon a
sound and enduring basis, can be
safely trusted to preserve both our
credit and currency with honor, sta
bility and inviolability. The American
people hold the financial honor of our
government as sacred us our ilag. and
can be relied upon to guard it with the
same sleepless vigilance. They hold
its preservation above party fealty,
and have often demonstrated thai
party ties avail nothing when the spot
less credit of our country is threatened.
The money of the United States, and
every kind or form of it, whether of
paper, silver or gold, must be as good
as the best in the world. It must not
only be current at its full face value at
home, but it must be counted at pur in
an}' and every commercial centre of
the globe. The dollar paid to the
farmer, the wage earner and the pen
sioner must continue forever equal in
purchasing and debt paying power to
the dollar paid to any government
creditor.
Till* Year's Contest.
"The contest this year will not be
waged upon lines of theory and specu
lation. but in the light of severe prac
tical experience and new and deadly
acquired knowledge. The great body
of our citizens know what they want
and that they intend to have. They
know for what the republican party
stands and what its return to
power means to them. The platform
adopted by the republican national
convention has received my careful
consideration and has my unqualified
approval. It is a matter of gratifica
tion to me, as I am sure it must be to
you and republicans everywhere, and
to all our people, that the expressions
of its declaration of principles are so
direct, clear and emphatic. They are
too plain and positive to leave any
chance for doubt or question as to their
purport and meaning. But you will
not expect me to discuss its provisions
at length or in any detuil at this time.
It will, however, be my duty and
pleasure at some future day to make
to you, und through you to the great
party j'ou represent, a more formal ac
ceptance of the nomination tendered
me."

l'oirce School.
In our advertising columns Is an
nouncement of the famous Poirco
School for its thirty-second year. This
representative business school will be
continued along the same educative
lines laid down by its eminent founder,
Doctor Thomas May Pierce, Its prin
cipal for thirty-one years. Doctor Poirce
was not only a teacher of rare ability,
but an expert accountant, who ranked
among the best. Every method ho
introduced was tested from the business
side as well as the school side.
Dr. Pierce chose his teachers with
great care. Each is a specialist in his
work. The same faculty is engaged for
the coining year that he selected for
last year, the most prosperous in Its
successful career. Under the same
management, in the same quarters, in
the handsome Record Ruilding, a suc
cessful continuance is conlidently pre
dicted.
