Now that the tumult of eleetion has passed And Its losses nnd triumphs counted am ) the outcome fiitrly regarded , It la seen on every t > ldo thnt the most important of Its results has been to iilnco Governor William McKinley - loy at tn6 head of the list of republican can- Ulilatcs for the presidency In IS'JO. ' It is sur prising onoufth , certainly , that no such re sult was anticipated , and yet , now that all la over , it is the most natural thing Unit coUtd have happened. It was the MeKtnloy prin ciple that was a test in the November strug gle. While widespread idleness , a midsum mer panic , and the discontent that Invaria bly follows in the wnlco of such conditions , no matter what party may DO In power , had unquestionably an influence OH the cloJtJon the net result in the creat manufacturing tatcs and the splendid triumph won by Me- Klnlcy himself in his own state makes It clear that the Irrepressible tariff issue was the real proundsfvcll of the battle , after all. It would perhaps bo lots than the truth to say that Governor McKinley himself had not foreseen this. For many years ho has cher ished such a profound belti'i in his own for tunes that his conlldcncccould not boshaltcn by intermediate events. IIo believed that. ' ) he tariff , which had been his lifelong study , to become the keynote of successive IN Cojioncss. campaigns , and that in the fulness of time ho would be called , like Mosc.s of old , to , lead Ills party out of the economic wilderness. IIo believed firmly in destiny ana ho was con tent to wait. From boyhood this distinctively American quality of self-reliance and control has been * McKinley trait. Giillniit Service In the Army. The young Ohio lad was barely 18 when ho ihouldercd an army musket and marched out of the little village of Poland in Ma- Ehoning county , to join the regiment under the command of Colonel Rutherford B. Hayes. This was in May , 1801 , and in Sep tember of the same year , the beardless young private had borne himself so gallantly and so manfully that ho was made u second lieutenant ; the further promotion to a first lieutenancy following tn the succeeding February. In 1804 , ho had won his cap taincy mid forcallaut services at the catties of Opcquam and Cedar Creek , ho was brc- vctted major. The raw villager was now a. rapidly maturing man , with a wonderful quality of self control , a precision of Judg ment beyond his years , a keen , active Sagacity , and tireless energy that would In .ill probability have \vor. him fame as n military leader had not his activities been diverted by the force of circumstances to another channel. IIo had been * with the Twenty-third Ohio regiment In all its bat tles , nnd now , the war over and a long period of peace in prospect , ho decided noj to rust in military harness , but to apply Jiimsclf to the law , and accordingly sot about Securing a position in thoofllco of Judge SJoldcn. of Canton. Hero the twin attractlo'is of poll tier nnd Jurisprudence tirgnl him on and ho soon found himself flistrlet attorney of Stark county. This was the , JU-st step Ih the maiiy-runped ladder up Mas. WJIAUM McKi.si.ET which William McKinley has climbed to the eminence of a statesman. It was the first publie ofllco ho had over held , the nulv tthors being those of congressman and gov ernor , To sketch the career of MoKinloy , from those days in Canton to the time whch hu bcromu ( 'overnor of Ohio , wuuld bo by no means an easy task , for , however eventful the years may have been , the material at hand is meager. Ami yet , it is certain that ll'oso years of unremitting labor and con tinuous aspiration contributed very largely by their experiences to round out and com plete a strong and altocother remarkable character , In Canton ho made his maiden political speech , and from that district ho first went to congress , liven In those early times ho became noted as a profound tariff student , the champion of honest poll tics and the relentless fee of the gerrymander. There , too , ho married a lovely an amiable Canton trirl , Miss I'da Saxton , who hud the ircat misfortune oarjy in her domestic llfo to become a continued invalid , KuiUluui and bvcliiilva. Possibly this sad homo shadow may have driven the young lawyer-politician to work harder at his books and speeches , for Intel , lectuul activity Is n safety valve to many men. In his familiar wjrkroota la his Can ton homo , surrouadoc. by mementoes of the war and by portraits or his brother olllcors and-the commanding generals , sidn by sldo vrllh those of a few a very few statesmen for whom ho had almost u passionate ad miration , ho loved to seclude himself. HU recreations were few and for society no cared llttlo , pruferlng that of his wife and a circle of intimate friends to all others. A ' uo t and a delightful raconteur , it would have heon Jin easy matter for the ris ing young politician , had ho been so dis posed , to have posed as a social idol , but Me- IvlnlcV4 with the Brim hunior inherited from his .Scotch-It IMi progenitors , disdained such follies nnd held llfo as intended for more serious matters. Not that ho had no appreciation of the social amenities , however - over , for a plcasantcr entertainer nnd a more reasonably Indulgent host docs not live ; but ho likes to have these things in 1m own way and not filtered through convention alities. An invotoratosmokcr , temperate at table , an excellent Judge of good wine and a most moderate consumer of it , a man who rcadt nnd rcmcmoers everything that is worth reading , who is wonderfully well equipped In all matters ot current interest , scientific , sociological , political , and who has n rare fjlfl 6f facile and loulc.il expression- no warm stress ot cloqiKnco , but Just an easy and pleasant and surprisingly logical way of putting a fact to an idea tnat Is Major William McKinley. the ' -little giant , " of Canton. Comfortably U'cll O1T , Not Wealth } ' . He Is the owner of valuable real estate tn Canton , besides a considerable sized farm In the township of Minerva , and a substantial blojk ot opcia house stock in Canton. Com fortably well on1 , ho is still far from being wealthy , oven on n western estimate , and ho Is known to bo generous almost to a fault. This quality has frequently been emphasized in his dealings with many of the numerous applicants who are constantly appealing to him for help or advice , as well as with pen niless clients and Impecunious constituent ! * . During the financial stress of last summer , ho helped others to the extent of fully ? 100- 000 , without hope ot return. His openhand- cilncss extends to church matters also. In the First Methodist Kplscopal church of Cnnton , where ho and his sister .Anna have been active members for many years , ho acted fora time as superintendent of the Sunday school. A 1'ouer In Consrrcatlonnt Debute. But tl.o great triumphs to which Major McKinley was destined wcro yet to come. No sooner had ho entered congress than it became apparent that the now acquisition to the republican legislative uhalanx had skill as a debater and tact ana parliamentarian. His quiet , self-possessed and digniflcd bear ing in all the great debates in which ho bore a part , his consideration of others nnd his intense party loyalty at whatever sacrifice , quickly made him a prominent litturo oa the lloor. In his musical , well modulated voice , with few gestures and no ranting , ho could , produce a deeper "effect upon life house than any half dozen of those speakers who raved and denounced to tickle the cars ot the groundlings. Ills mild but caustic raillery against tlio democrats , his sarcastic Jokes at his own party's shortcomings , his keen and incisive strokes of logic when debating any really big problem , like the tariff , and his sound , sturdy and unconcealed attachment to hls.party , won him admirers'even among his political opponents. IIo was one of the youngest men who had ever won the laurels of leadership in congress , flisprotilc , clean , bold and commanding , recalled those of both Stephen A. Douglas , that other "lit tle glaut- and Napolcoh I : " the "lit- tlo corporal. " And if the face in rcposo was full of character , In the action of debate it was transformed. The cyo sparnlcd and dnnccd with animation , the firmly chiseled lip curved , nnd a close ob server could see the distension of the nostril as though the man wcro eager for the forensic fray. If the dress wcro but a trillo less' correct and conventional , the smoothed hair but the least particle awry , and the general appointmento had Just u hint of carelessness dcgngo , tno nicturcsquc- McICtxi.nt's MOTHER. ness of the face and figure would bo perfect. But Major McKmloy's personality , like his whole career till now , is the outcome of n peculiarly loclcnl and , systematic character. Jn all his debates , this trait has b'con pre dominant. It has made him thorough where others wore superilchillv informed ; it has given him the mastery of a 'question , while those pitted against him , or , it may be. allied with him , knew but a slnglo yhaso of the subject. It was this thoroughness us well ns his tiklllin handling n small majorltv. that enabled him to pass the McKinley tariff bill , u measure which , for a time at least , found favor with the masses in this country , while it was held in cordiaU detestation by UIQ manufacturing and producing classes jlhrnlil. ! Hilt Tl , Is not linrn nnrMn mri * n nnrni * into tlio question of tlio tariff , a subject of which Governor McKinley has prayon him self peculiarly the muster aiid best exponent in America. A Vindication of AlcICInley I'rluclplo. If the protective tarifffor a time seemed to have caused the wreck of his personal political fortunes , it has now apparently been the means of their restoration. At the present moment ho stands before the people of this union as its leading anostlo and the result of the November elections , no less than the protected business panic of the past summer , : > ro now claimed by republi cans everywhere to bo a complete vindica tion of the McKInlov principle. For a man who , from the very depths of political de feat , lias plucked out a brilliant victory , nnd who , moreover , has so largely contributed to securing the widespread triumph of his party , ( Governor MoKinloy bears himself with rare modesty. Unlike Senator Platt of Now York , who ascribes the party's ' vic tory "to Providence , " ho believes with Js'apoleon that 1'rovldcnco always lights on the sldo of the biggest artillery which on this auspicious occasion happened to belli the hands of the republican voter , who used it to the advantage of his party. Nor have the republican rank and lllo forgotten the splendid part McKinley bore in the Minneapolis convention which ronomlnatcd Harrison In 18',2 ) , It Is unques tioned that , but for the pressure of the ad ministration machine , and loft to its unfet tered choice , that assemblage would not have long hesitated in making a nomination for president. Of the great triumvirate of brains Heed , Depoir nnd MoKinloy the third , the ablest and the best beloved , would have been chosen by acclamation. Tom Heed had the dash and brilliancy that many admired ; Uopow was the idol of a cul tured , consorviitivo element , but McKinley was almost worshiped by the entire party except the machine. Ho hud furnished the platform upon which it was to stand or fall and there was a demand that the man who wrote that platform bo made the standard bearer. Ingalls. Quay , Heeil , Now and even Harrison himself felt the strong , uopular undertow that \vrs pulling the pmouvray from t'io grasp of the machine. The great audiences were McKinley to the core. The delegates from almost every state wore en- thiutustlo over the man of Napoleonic and Webatcrlnu face. And hero , iu the crisis of his public llfo , McKinley displayed the same phenomenal power of .self-control that had marked \vhulocaroer. . To Hu the Nominee of tlio future. He stood the test of temptation splendidly and came out victor , for his acceptance of the post of permanent chairman settled for the time being the possibilities of hU nomi nation for tlio presidency. And the wonder ing delegates understood it all and thence forth spoke of the Uhioau as the nominee of the future. It almost looks as though the future were already ruvlng the way for the redemption of their unrecorded pledge , for not men or factions but events alone have given to Governor McKinley his overshad owing prominence as a presidential candi date , on a purely tariff battle around and with President Cleveland as the only avail- ablo.opponcnt on such an IssUo. Both chiUn- plons would represent , moro distinctively than any other two men in our 70,000,000 of people , iho two rival platforms. It is not an easy task to analyze the causes nt n statesman's hold upon the masses. High principle , personal magnetism , gal lantry , boldness oven to harshness , great skill In debate or ability ns a plat form orator all these may In turn bo cited ns reasons why a man should be liked and respected. Hut to awaken the love and warmest admiration of a people require * qualities that well High defy analysis. It has been McKltiloy's good fortune to strike n chord of sympathy in the breasts of a very largo class who needed Just what ho offered. Statesmen may arcuo and sophists disclaim , but sympathy Is In itself a tremendous log ical fact , nnd the worklngmcn attest the force of this truth by their hearty liking for Governor McKlnlcv. U Hardly yet in his prime ho is now M ) years of ago Governor MoKlnley looks even younger than his years. Ho stands higher today in the estimation of Americans , re gardless of party , than ho over dil : , and in tlio republican councils there is no other name like his with which to command suc cess. All the political possibilities point to the nomination in 18'JO of the brilliant , saga- clous Ohio statesman , who in 18S8 and 1MU refused to yield tn the desire of his friends to make him the candidate. "All things como to him who waits , " and , having waited so loyally nnd so long , it would now seem that the fidelity of William McKinley will at last bo assured of its reward. reward.Encx Encx CLA.TTOX.

Ills other hand held firmly aright ugly look ing stick , With unlsoncil prickers on It that would make a cobra sick ; And twlxt his tooth ho held a knife Its cdgo wiis very keen , In short , his aspect It was such as turned my visage green. I asked him what his business was. IIo mod estly replied IIowanted mo to let him have my daughter for his brldo , And sixty million dollars a tin a two-four trotting horho. And did 1 run ? I didn't !

A preacher's righteous soul was sadly vexed by the talking and giggling of some of the Junior members of his congregation. Breaking off in the middle of his dlscourso- he looked straight at. his tormentors and said : Some years asro there happened to sit right iu'front of the pulpit a young man who was perpetually laughing and talking and making silly faces. I stopped short and took him severely to task. At the close of the service a gentleman stepped up to mo and said : ' ' 'Sir , you made a great mistake ; that young man is an idiot.1 "Since thaj , time I have not ventured to reprimand any persons who bebavo them selves indecorously in church , lest I should repeat tho"same mistake and iulllet ccusuro upon an idiot. " There was exemplary silence during the rest of the service. # Captain William II. * Patterson of'Balti more says ho once took Hov.

"Captain Patterson , " said the Judge , ' 'that does not always follow. " "Getting money out of my congregation,1 said Hov. Jones , "Is like pulling teeth.
