Again Chosen to Represent this District in
Congress.

The nominee took his place in line,
and the systematic march Of the Aus
tralian balloting proceeded in truly
democratic fashion. Ahead OF Maj.
Mckinley was swarthy-faced work
ingman, whose hands showed that he
had just laid down his tools. With
some confusion he greeted the Major,
and offered to yield his place, but the
offer was declined with whisper in
the mans ear, which made him beam.
William Mckinley, 723 North
Market street, called the inspector,
Just as the clock marked g. The Ma
jor stepped forward and received his
ballot, huge sheet with eight hori-
zontal tickets, the first one being the
Republican headed with his own
name. He moved Though the in
closure to the curtained booths in the
rear and stepped into the first one.
He was in no hurry. Adjusting his
eye glasses he scrutinized the ticket
carefully. For just one minute and
eighteen seconds he went over the
names. Then, marking the Republi-
can ticket at the head, indicating a
straight Republican vote, he came
from the booth and handed the ballot
to the official in charge of the box.
AS he emerged from the place there
was another cheer from those outside
and another kindly acknowledgment,
and then. having exercised his Amer
lean privilege as voter, Maj. McKin-
ley and his brother walked down to
Tuscawaras street to greet the white
haired mother, lightweight years old,
who is keen observer Of the scenes
in which her son is playing SO large
a part.

The congress held al Berlin of the mobiles OF Ger

arisen with regard 10 the practice OF duelling serves
10 call attention the fact that conventions and
colleges of mobiles exist in every Continental
of Europe excepting France Italy and Switzerland
the latter, in spite OF 10 being a Republic. possess
ing large number OF extremely patrc'an families
In Austria and Russia the colleges regularly
sttuted bodies and represented such IN the legis
latures, provincial well imperial, by delegates
while each province has It's so-called marshal OF the
nobility who is the president OF the local college OF
mobiles. Inasmuch as most of these are landowners
IL is easy appreciate their importance. and tx
thirty years ago they constituted pretty much the
only bodies in the Empire that could in any way
be described as parliamentary.
In Russia there is likewise for each Of the Euro
pean provinces an assembly OF mobiles presided over
by marshal which constitutes practically the only
legislative diet in the district. AT any rate II is
the only body that possesses the rSh
as such to address the Gar. and whatever senti-
ments of independence exist in Russia are 20 fount
in these colleges of mobiles. Thus. one of the first
petitions that the present Car received after his
ascension TO the throne appeal from the
colleges Of mobiles that he would under no crcum-
stance surrender even the slightest vest'ge Of his
autocratic power. These colleges constituted for
long time insuperable obstacle TO the liberation
of the serfs by Emperor Alexander II. They have
repeatedly petitioned the Crown against the aboli-
ton of the knout. and n few months ego one OF
these colleges created a sensation by entreang the
Car to make a distinction between the MOBILES Of
mis- own making and those VINO are indebted for their
rank to their inheritance, Of course in favor Of the
latter.
In Spain the socalied college of nobility represents
the interest not OF the thousand and one paryenu
dukes marouses and counts, but merely those OF
the "Grandezza." dignity which is possessed by
not more than three hundred arstocrats OF the
bluest blood. many Of them untitled. IT but

among the members of dishonest ring composed
of certain high officials In the Department OF For

In Germany and in Scandinavia also in fol-

are little better than mere clubs. which receive
particular recognition from the government and
which ar merely banded together for the presorva
lion and care of the interests of their order.
