Senator Marcus A. Hanna contrlbutca to
tho January number of tho National Mag
azlnp his recollections of the lato president,
under tho caption, 'William McKltilcy as I
Knew Him," as follows:
11 is something over thirty years ago
that I first knew William McKinlcy, u
young practicing attorney at Canton, O
Strange ns It may seem, I cannot recall
the exact time or place when I first met
him. 1 know that It was curly in the '70s,
and I havo a recollection of being strange!
attracted to tho ipilet and methodical law
yer. Our acquaintance was somewhat
closer nfter his election to 'congress and
In some way I always felt n personal In
teroat In hlt contests from time to time,
Our aciiuftlntnnc(hlp was a simple growth
of friendship. Ills splendid work In tho
cause of protection ns a congressman fur
ther attracted me. This was even heforo
ho had reached prominence In pngrcss as
a member of tho ways and menu com
mlttce. I never thought of tho possibility
at that tlmo of bis becoming n candidate
for the presidency and was not especially
actlvo In politics except Insofar ns exer
clslns my Influence In tho Interests of the
republican part. Our first nssoclatloti pu
lltlcally wan in 1880, whin onio took n
prominent part In the campaign In which
Garfield was elected. In 1881 William Mc
Kluley was elected dclegato at large to
tho republican national convention and I
He was always, from his earliest political
career, such n willing worker that when t
remonstrated with him, ho would laugh
ingly remark, "A good soldier must always
ho ready for duty."
His utterances In that convention are tho
best Index to h!i character that I know of,
and displayed In him those ro.e qualities
of manhood which convinced me that he
was destined to become a great power In
natlonnl politics. And here, for the first
time, It occurred to me that he was a log
ical candidate for the presidency In years
to come. I was with him In 1892 at Min
neapolis, and as It will be remembered the
demand from tho people for McKlnley as
a candidate was even more outspoken nnd
seemingly Irresistible than at the previous
convention. The situation was such that
It would have been nn easy matter for him
to have Broken nnd won tho entire support
of thj Illalno men, to sny nothing of his
many admirers among those pledged fo
Harrison. At this time It was evident to
even the moat cisual obsciver that sooner
or later he would bo placed in that high
position for which his talent and partlcu
Inr abilities qualified him.
The demonstration at Minneapolis con
vlnced mo that, although It was an Impol
title thing for his Interests to nominate him
there, thnt In tho next national convention
the popular demand for his candidacy
woull override, all opposition.
Tho condition of tho country that fol
lowed the election of 1802 bo clearly defined
him ns tho one man of nil others in public
life to lead the republican party that I felt
that his nomination was assured.
PrepnrliiK lor 'till.
As early as 1891 I began to feel the pulse
of tho people; that Is, the rank and file,
buslniss men, laboring men, traveling men
and manufacture! s, to lam how far the
sentiment for McKinlcy had taken hold. It
required only tho opportunity for tho peo
ple of tho northern stntes to express their
sentiment on the subject, and the result at
was another delegate. .McKlnley wns nn
enthusiastic supporter of Blaine nnd 1 was St. Louis Justified tho expectations of his
for John Sherman, and we contested tho friends and admirers nnd gave proof of the
dulcgntlon vigorously for our men. In tho
nntlonal convention of 1888 wo wcro prco-
ent again ns delegates, but this time we
woro both pledged for John Sherman, and
It was at this time ho made tho famous'
snccch which I felt destined him as n
marked mnn for prcoldcut.
Even before this our friendship had
seemed to grow Into something moro than
that of ordinary personal or polltlcnl as
sociates. Somehow 1 felt for him an af
fection thnt cannot be explained, nnd It
was at this convention that I gained an In
sight Into the unselfish, unfaltering loy
alty whlph William McKlnley gavo to every
cause ho espoused.
During that convention wo occupied the
same rooms and wore In conferenco day
nnd night ns to tho best ways and means
to bring about tho nomination ot Johu
Sherman. Ohio's grand old man.

quently demanded thnt his namo bo with

It was In the convention of 1888 that
William McKlnltJy dcvoloped Into n posi
tive natlonnl forco, Illalno and Sherman
had been in their full vigor In 1834, and I
correctness of their Judgment In believing
him to be the one man who fitted tho sit
uation and Insured tho success ot tho party.
In the management of tho enmpalgn
which followed I was made toapprcclato how
much McKlnley's strong and noble person
ality contributed to his success. How emi
nently serviceable was tho part which ho
took In meeting on his porch nt Canton
tho people who came In throngs and thou
sands to greet hlm, no ono can estimate.
He not only Impressed them by his ear
nestness nnu sincerity of his speeches and
the wisdom of hlc words, but thcro was al
ways present tho genial personality of tho
man that quickly won admiration and re
spect from everyone with whom ho came
In contact. No committee organization
could havo furnished this great nttributo
of personal strength, which wns so neces
sary to tho euccess of the ticket, and none
other than such n personality could have

lted prominence. It wan nfter a very hot
day during the Chlcngo convention thnt
General Ucn llutler, Major McKinlcy nnd
myself sat at a table talking over tho ovents
of tho day. The delegate had brought for
ward his namo. McKlnley took a telegraph
blank from tho tablo and during tho mo
ments of stlenco wrote down some mcmor
oblo words. Ho passed It to mo with the
remark:

Thn country knows todny how well ho
has filled tho expectations of all thoso who
sunnortcd him. In tho earlier days oi im

vclopments In tho silver question, four
yenrs of depression and an Industrial

spent every energy and used every effort In
all his public service for the highest and
best Interests of his people, Inspired al
ways by patriotic Impulse, with a sincerity
never questioned. His election to nn office
always meant moro than tho mere gratifi
cation of n selfish political ambition. Ho
laid to me once and I cite It here to show
that his ambition never sprang from selfish
motives In speaking about some of tho
methods adopted in contests for the nomina
tion, "there are some things. Mark, I would
not do ana cannot do, even to become presi
dent of the United States," and It was
my Impression nt that time that he himself
had little thought or Idea that he would
ever be nominated for president.
.McKlnley's (JiiimI ntur-.
A great deal has been snld about his
proverbial good nature. Ho had that, and
In addition to that an uneuualcd equipoise
In every emergency. In all my career, In
business nnd In politics, I have never known
a mail so self-contained. He nlways acted
deliberately, and his Judgments were nl
ways weighed carefully, although there
wcro times when his heart Impulses would
respond quickly, without apparently tho
slightest delay. In all those thirty yeara
of close relations I never saw him In a
passion, never heard him utter one word
of whRt I would call resentment, tinged
with bitterness, toward a living person.
Thli was again reflected In the story of tho
assassination told by Mr. Mllbtirn, who said
that ho could uover forget tho picture lti
the expression of his countenance ns ho
glanced toward tho dastard assassin. In
his eyes read the words ns plain as lan'
guago could express Jt, "Why should you
do this?" And then, when tho assassin
was hurled to the ground, when tho fury
anil Indlgnntlon of tho people had begun
to assert Itself, he said with utmost saintly
compassion:
"Don't let them hurt him."
I know of nothing In all history that can
compare with the splendid climax and end
ing of his noble life. One of the sweetest
consolations that come to mo Is the memory
that on Tuesday, preceding his death, ho
asked to see n newspaper, and when ho
as told, "Not today," ho asked, "Is Mark
hero?"
"Yea, Mr. President," was the response,
nnd In that one sweet last remembrance
as n rich roward for tlio years of devotion
hleh It had always been my plensurc to
give him.
Tribute of Friendship.
It Is difficult for mo to express the ex
tent of thor lovo nnd respect which I, In
ommon witn mauy otners, ion ror mm
personally. The feeling was the outgrowth
t nn appreciation of his noble, self-sac-
rlflclng nature. My affection for him nnd
faith and confidence In htm nlways seemed
to bo reciprocated, to the extent that thero
wns never an unpleasant word passed bo
tween us, and tho history of his adminis
tration, his cabinet and his associations
with public men, so entirely free from In-
triguo or base selfishness, I think, will bo
splendid example to tho youth of the
coming generations. Thero was nothing In
tho expression of his faco or manner do
noting exultation over his victory when It
was announced thnt ho was elected presi
dent. Ho seemed to realize fully the sacred
responsibilities placed upon him, and the
quiet dignity nnd solf-posscsslon which
mnrked tho mnn thon nnd In days after
wcro Just what his personal friends ex
pected of him. Tho first dny I greeted him
nfter ho was Inaugurated at tho White
louse, in the course of our conversation, I
Inadvertently culled him "major" and "gov
ernor," and whon I stopped to correct my
self ho would say: "Each ono Is fitting;
'm not particular which."
Wo wcro both of Scotch-Irish descent,
but opposlto In disposition. Ho was of n
moro direct descent than I, but It Is
thought from our dispositions that ho had
tho Scotch and I had tho Irish of tho com
bination.

whoso credentials I boar nnd wh'lch has

Since Mr. Tesla's purchase of land at
Wardencllffe, long Isliuul, for a wlretess

It is his intention, reports the New Yoilc
Tribune, not only to tend messages from
that point, but also to havo a suitable,
laboratory for experimental work and n
factory for tho manufacturo cf Instruments.
After the system is oncu In operation, of
course, it will be desirable to supply the
reojilslte apparatus for equipping other sta
tions. This, In the main, will bo Hindu at
Mr. Tesla's own shops.
In designing the plant, therefore, both the
needs of the future factory and laboratory,
as well ns the operation of the Wnrden
cllffo telegraph station, have been kept In
vlow. Tho principal building, in which
powor will bo developed, has now been
practically completed, and steam bollern
and engines nre on tho spot, being Installed
as fast as possible. Owing to a variety of
unforeseen causes, vcxntlous delays have

Mr. 'Tmla's patience, although ho takes
such annoyances philosophically. Kor tho
