CANTON, O., July 5.—A review of the Kansas City ccnvention was given to | President McKinley at his home here. All of the messages were delivered to Sec- retary Cortelyou, who read them to the President in the library, on the porch, or wherever he happened to be. Soon after hearing the news of the adoption of the latform, the President and Mrs. McKin- ey went for a long drive about the city. There was nothing about the President's | action to indicate that displeasure or sur- | prise was occasioned by a single incident of the conventio: Stevenson Is Mum. CHICAGO, July 5.—Adlai E.

The reception of the platform formu- lated by the committee on resolutions was most gratifying, and in my opinion a united determined party waging bat- tle for right against wrong.
