WILLIAM M. McRdE.

No single event of the campaign just
closed affords us more pleasure than the
triumphant election of Hon. William NJ.
McKalg, our gallant standard bearer in the
Sixth Congressional District. To him be
longs the honor OF first redeeming the Sixth
District, and his able record in Congress
has given him a firm hold on the suffrages
of large majority of the people
The following short sketch of his life will
prove interesting to our readers:
Gen. VIM. M. McKaig was born at Cum
berland on July 30, 1916. His father was
DIR. Robert S. McKaig. Mr.. j. V. L. Nc
Mahon, the distinguished Maryland lawyer,
was his uncle. Another uncle was Hon
Clement 9. Vallandigham, OF Ohio. Mr.
Mirwin McKaig, of Cumberland, is his
cousin. Gen. McKaig was educated at the
AiieBauy County Academy. The period
between his leaving school and entering
manhood was passed in boat building and
boating on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
In 1865, when twenty years old, he en-
tered the law office of his uncles, Thomas
l. and W. W. McKaig, with whom he spent
three years in his studies, being admitted to
the bar in 1868. He practiced law until
1878, when his failing health compelled him
To abandon this climate and go to the then
territory of Colorado. Here he began a
healthy and active outdoor existence passing
his time mainly in hunting, trapping and
rinching. After several months he removed
10 Denver, where for time he managed q
hotel. Then he started westward, going to
Salt Lake City, and thence TO San Fran
cisco. Turning southwark, he went 10 Los
Angeles, thence through Mexico to Costa
Rica, and thence by way of Hayt and Cuba
To New York.
1t was In 1875 that he returned to Cum.
bertrand, with his health much improved.
lie at once began the practice OF law again
and became candidate for States Attor.
ney. His competitor In the convention was
Mr.. A. Hunter Boyd, who won. In 1876
Gen. McKaig, as chairman of the Allegany
county executive committee, conducted Mr.
VIM. Walsh's congressional campaign. In
1877 he was nominated for the legislature
and was elected, He served on the Judi
ciary Committee, was chairman OF the Com,
mittee on Engrossed Bills, and was instru.
mental in securing the passage of a law for
the better ventilation OF the mines
When he retired from the legislature he
disappeared, comparatively, from public life
in the practice Of his profession until 1887
when he was nominated for the State Sen
ate, to succeed his cousin, A. b. McKaig
who had died. His Republican opponent
was b, l.. Turner, whom he defeated by
FOG majority. In the Senate he was chair
man OF the Committee on Internal Improve
ments, and introduced the Mining Ventila
ton bill, which was defeated in the Senate
by one vote. He was elected Mayor OF
Cumberland in the spring of 1890, and in
