He came here almost direct from Canton, and when he says Hobart of w Jersey or Reed of Maine will be the tall of the republican ticket he probably knows what he is talking about. Though the candidate for the pres- tdency does not have always a deciding voice in the selection of his assoviate on the ticket, Major MeKinley will probably have a great deal to say about the nominee for Vice President this year.

Many of these letters were filled with personal abuse of him; ard he worried about them so much that toward the end of his campaigning trip Mrs. Reid persuaded him not to look at any more of his mail. Mr. Reed is not a rich man, and he does not come from a doubtful state; but the friends of Mr. McKinley would like to see him on the ticket because of his popularity. Mr. Hobart is wealthy, and he comes from a state which Is in the doubtful column, This is true also of Mr. Morion. New York could furnish stx or seven avail- able candidates for the vice presidency, and New Jersey more than one. Rhode Island has two candidates for sec- ond place—Gov. Lippitt and ex-Gov. Brown. Both of them have announced their candi- dacy. There is the same objection to them that there was to Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island when Mr. Harrison was considering him as a possible Secretary of the Treas- ury.
