james b. Morrow's statement.


CLEVELAND, April 1d.-The following
statement Is glvon TO the press by James
b. Morrow, editor OF the Cleveland Lead
or. newspaper which, perhaps, more
nenrly represents Mr. Mckinley than docs
any other paper I'm the United States:
''Persons who pretend TO be conspicuous
members of the American Protective asso-
citation have given circulation TO the state
ment that Hon. William Mckinley Is a
member of the Ancient Order OF Hiber
mans: that Mr.. M. A. Hanna, who Is Mr..
Mckinley personal and political friend,
Is q Roman Catholic; that Mr. Roylo
Mr. McKinley's private secretary, is also
q member OF the Catholic church, and
finally, that while Mr. Mckinley was gov
ernor OF Ohio his appointments were
largely made from the membership of a
certain religious denomination. 1t Is
urged, therefore, that Mr.. Mckinley is not
the right kind Of an American. This
statement is untrue in part and in whole.
Mr.. MoKinley's Americanism reaches
back to the war for Independence Will
liam Mckinley himself was a private in
the Union army while yet a boy and car
ried musket for four years. Iio is a
member of the Methodist Episcopal church
and has boen a member of that denomina-
his family for two centuries have beon
Observation-Disclosures and Presbyte-
rians. At this time Mr.. Mckinley Is one
OF the trustees Of the First Methodist Epis-
copal church of Canton, o.
His Membership In Societies.
Moreover. Mr.. Mckinley is not a
member Of the Ancient Order OF Iiiber-
mans nor Of the American Protective as
4. a.
and has been for many years. He Is a
Knight Templar, Knight of Pythias, a
comrade Of the Grand Army Of the Repub
lie. a member of the Union Veteran un
ion, of the Sons Of the American Revolu-
tlon, of the Loyal Legion and of q college
fraternity. And these are the only secret
societies with which Mr.. Mckinley has
any connection whatever.
The charge that his appointments to
Office while he was governor Of Ohio were
largely made from the Roman Catholic
church OF any other church IS ridiculous
and untrue. He believes that all men
should be permitted to worship God in the
manner that squares with their conscience.
II am authorized TO say that Major Nc
Kinley knows nothing whatever about the
application Of a committee from any or
ganization to visit him at Canton. He
has never refused TO meet any person OF
committee OF any kind nor declined to
have any committee Interview him upon
any subject whatever
1T should also be stated that both Mr..
M. A. Hanna and Mr.. Boyle who is pri.
vats secretary to Major Mckinley, are
lifelong members OF the Protestant Epis-
copal church 1 make this statement II

"Verragaude communication OF

the board, as was also certified
copy of the contract furnished by
Verragaude. The board rejected
it mainly on the ground that 1t
looked to the building of the Mica
ragua canal, while they wanted to
complete the Panama canal. The
contract shows that it was made
between Mr.. Bartlett, representing
the Maritime Canal company OF
Nicaragua, the Northern Financier
company of New Jersey and the
Nicaragua company, on one side,
and Verragaude, representing the
French group, on the other side.
