even boyond the estimation of his friend.
Ho Bald;
It In 11 remarkable fact that Mr. McKln
ley liullt up tils wide nodularity mainly
uftor bo became president, while lie wm
holding the most onerous and exacting
otllco In all the world. At tho tlmo of his
ilrst nomination ho was not by uny means
nn Idol ven with his own party. How has
liu won the hold on popular regard which
we see manifested u II over the L'nlted
Htatcs today?
I ascrlbo this result first nf all to the
perception that l'resldt'nt McKlnley was
peculiarly Jionvst and Hlnccrn In Ills con
victions. Thoso who doubted this at tlrst
thinking tho president a politician, n man
of. policy, looking out merely for lit own
Interests and those of his party and chang
ing opinion easily, have been forced to a
ljrfercnt vlow. Homo probably still think
him unwleo In one and another matter, but
few, If uny, longer charge him with selfish
ness or truckling. His nomine of Hobert
Iao and Stonewall Jackson as among the
"great Americans," his upiolntment or
1'ltzhugh I, in and Wheeler as Union gen
erals nnd his IobC noble spuech at llUITato
the day before he was shot cannot possibly
bo construed as partisan in nature or In
motive, as dictated by party chiefs or by
a wish for party popularity. They were the,
ileeds and words of a brave and a deeply
sincere soul,
Kx-CfiiiKrcKSinnit .Strode' Xpereli.
Kx-Congrossman J. U. .Strode spoke of the
Ufa of tho late president, his death and his
Influence, as follows:'
William McKlnley possessed n kindly
heart and a generous spirit. Ho rendered
enormous public services which have re
sulted In untold benellt not only to the
poor man. but the people In all walks of
life. In the Inngungn of Di. Clunsalus of
Chicago: "His purity .and pow,er arc
lurcGK which nnve uceu exaitea on mid ,
ultar of martyrdom. The assassin supposed
no couiu siay tnum irom tne nign ami
heavenly plnce In which thu citizens of the
icpubllc behold them. They will organize
Into a knightly personality and Wld nm
McKlnley will bo tho slayer of anarchy, in
America. From this tlmo forward what
ever makes for nnarchy .must hide Its
treacherous face away Irom the light of
him whom wo love."
W. ,1. llD'itiVn Aildrcmi.
W. J, rjrynu was the last speaker. Ho
rend from manuscript nn address, of which
tho following Is a part:
It would be more than strange, It would
Im a reproach to our people U thero wero
differences among us so radical that they
could not bo softened by tho tragedy of
death. It would Indeed be ft disgrace to our
nation If tho murder of a president con
cerned only the members of tho dominant
party. While no recent campaigns have
aroused deeper feeling than thoso through
which Mr. McKlnley pnsjed, yet In no
contests did tho minority more cheerfully
acquiesce In tho will of tho majority as
expressed at tho polls.
The president's position made him a part
of tho life of all Ills countrymen and tho
circumstances which attended his taking
oft added indignation to grief. Indignation
that even one murderous heart colud bo
found ll all Uiq land and .grief that the
wicked purpose of that heart should hnvc
been consummated against ono so gentle
lh spirit and ho kind In word nnd deed.
Tills is neither tho tlmo nor tho plnco for
n discussion -of remedies for anarchy. It
rim have no defenders In tho United Htates.
Oovernment Is n necessity nnd tho de
lusion that society can exist without It Is
harmful even when no vlolenco Is ndvo
tatcd. 1 yield to none In my appreciation of the
private character and public virtues of
William McKlnley. I rejoice that his ru
rcer wi fully demonstrates the, Hostilities
or AmprU..fcJtJcllBhlp., Tho young men
of tho country vim flmt Inspiration and en
couragement in tho fact that ho made his
ow'n way from obscurity to fame.
Few. If r.ny, of our public men Iiavo
been moro approachable and his generous
conduct and genial ways held to the list
tho frlomls whom his genius attracted,
ills nssoclutcs early recognized his oualltlcs
of leadership and ho statesman has exerted
greater ttiMuenco upon his party or upon
tho politics of his generation.
