McKlnlny Notified.
Canton, O., July 12. William Mc
Kinley wub today officially notified of
his second nomination by tho republi
can party for the highest office in tho
gift of the republic.
There was enthusiasm to spare, and
to many of the pointed utterances of
both Senator Lodgo and tho president,
hearty and cordial approval was shown.
Important features of the speech of Sen
ator Lodge and the response by Preei
dent Mckinley wero the references to
the Chinese situation. Tl is caused i
great deal of discussion during the con
ferences following the formal speech
making and tho impression created was
that these utterances were a notification
to ttie world that the TJinted States in
tended to preserve all its rictus in
China, The most impressive parts of
the president's speech were his refer
ences to the maintenance of the gold
standard and the financial public faith;
the preservation of a protective tariff
and the enlargement of our market,
especially the phraBe"prosperity at home
und prestige abroad." When lie atk-
ed, "Shall we go back to the tariff of
four years ago?" there were shouts oi
"No, No," from every part of the audi
ence. Another prolonged cheer greeted
his words relative to the maintenance of
our authority in the Philippines.
Prevented a li needy.
Timely information given Mrs. George
Long, of New Straitsville, Ohio, pre
vented a dreadful tragedy und saved two
lives. A frightful couth had long kept
her awake everv niht. She had tried
many remedies and doctors but steadily
grew worse until urged to try Dr. King's
New Discovery. One bottle wholly cured
her, and she writes this marvelous
medicine also cured Mr. Long of a severe
attack of Pneumonia. Such cures are
positive proof of the matchless merit of
this grand remedy for curing all'throat,
chest and lung troubles. Oulv,50c and
