The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1896-05-09

DISGUISE the fact as politicians may,
William Mckinley has great hold upon
the masses Of the people.
With the exception Of Blaine. Mckinley
is, undoubtedly, the strongest Republican
among the plain people that has sprung up
since the war. His strength is, of course,
largely due to his close association with
the high protective principle. Since the
repeal of the Missouri compromise brought
about the great anti-slavery revulsion, there
has never been political reaction in this
country so sweeping and unexpected as the
one which the protectionists had the good
fortune to enjoy after the panic of 1893.
That reaction is still in force to day among
the multitude, and Mckinley has been its
beneficiary. But there is one source OF his
strength which has been for the most part
overlooked. He comes nearer to the type Of
the "self-made" or ''homespun' American
of the popular pattern of Lincoln and Gar
field than any Of his rivals. Reed is by
far the ablest Of them all, but he gives out
. sense Of superiority which the average
American distrusts or fears; he is far better
equipped for the Presidency by education
and broad aptitudes for craftsmanship than
Mckinley; but there is vague idea in the
popular mind that he is too Smart" and too
fond Of his own way. Mckinley, with his
amiable temper, his air of sincerity, his
gently dignity, his simplicity Of habit, his
ever ready willingness to work for the party,
his clean life, without the breath of scandal
upon it, his rugged boyhood and his good
old mother at the age OF eighty seven hop
ing to live long enough to see her lad ente,
the White House, are some of the things
which have helped to make Mckinley akir
to an ideal figure in the eyes Of the people
who hang up pictures Of the great rail
splitter and the bare-footed tow path DO,
in their little parlors.
