James &. Blaine, in his Twenty
Years of Congress-, reviews the Forty
fifth congress, in which Mckinley first
sat, as follows: William Mckinley,
Jr., entered from the Canton district.
He enlisted in an Ohio regiment when
but II years old and won the rank of
major by meritorious service. The inter-
est Of his constituency and his own bent
of mind led him to the study Of indus
trial questions, and he was soon recog-
nized i'll the house as one Of the most
ablest defenders Of the doctrine of pro-
lection.
At a great mass meeting in Indianapo-
lis several years ago ex-President Har-
rison was presiding officer Mckinley
was one of the speakers, and Harrison
introduced him as follows:
''He has endeared himself to all by
his record as gallant young soldier
battling for the flag He has honored
himself, his state and the country by his
conspicuous services in high legislative
and executive places. No man more than
he is familiar with the questions that
now engage public thought. No man is
more able than he rucidly to set them
before tho people. do not need to in
woke your attention to what he shall
say. He will command it. "
The sentiment which resulted in the
nomination of Mckinley for governor
of Ohio was engendered Immediately
upon the announcement of the result of
the election of 1890, when after IA
years continuous service in congress the
Ohio statesman was defeated for re-elec-
ton, despite the fact that he cut down
the Democratic majority from 1900 to
800.
During his gubernatorial campaign in
1898 Mckinley visited SO of the SO coun-
ties of Ohio and made 1870 speeches. He
was elected by plurality of 80, 900, up
to that time the record plurality in
Ohio's history.
The policy which Governor Mckinley
pursued during his four years of occu-
pancy Of the gubernatorial chair was
we'll outlined when in his inaugural adj
dress he said: 1T is my desire to CO.
operate with you in every endeavor to
secure wise, economical and honorable
administration, and, SO far as can be
done, the improvement and elevation of
the public service. F"
From the day of his Inauguration
Governor Mckinley took the greatest in
ierest in the management of the public
benevossnt institutions Of the state, and

terment. During his Est terra the state

board Of arbitration was created, and ho
made the workings of the board a mat
ter Of personal supervision during the
entire four years of his administration.
This board has had its services enlisted
in 20 strikes, and in 10 cases its efforts
have been successful.
No account of McKinley's connection
with labor problems would be complete
without some mention Of the tireless
energy which he displayed in securing
relief for the 2,O00 miners in the Hook
ing valley mining district who early III
1895 were reported out of work and DIES
titute. The news first came to the gov
ernor one night at midnight, but before
3 O'Clock in the morning he had upon
his own responsibility dispatched to the
afflicted district car containing 81, 900
worth of provisions. Later he made APP
peals for assistance and finally distri-
buted among the 2,732 families in the
district clothing and provisions to the
amount Of $50, 100. 95.

valid, she makes and receives calls and
often goes on shopping tours Mrs
Mckinley cares little for dress, al
though her toilets are always in excel
lent taste.
Her face betrays faint languor, sug-
gestive Of the invalid, but it is fair and
bears a stamp of beauty, in spite of the
40 years she carries. Her i'll health dates
from girlhood. AS student she with
difficulty undertook the studies of the
course, by reason Of this condition, but
with constant care and frequent medical
attention she overcame all trouble suf-
flciently to enjoy life and to taste of its
pleasures. Her actual invalidism dates
from the birth of their second child, in
1871. This child died in its infancy and
was followed by the first child, % daugh-
ter Of years, short time afterward.
Her mother also died about this time
These sorrows were more than she could
bear, and she has never recovered. AT
present in appearance and in actual
health her condition is better than for
several years previous.

his thought and care for his mother,
particularly since his fathers death in
1892, have attracted comment. 1t had

M'KINLEY AS A LAWYER.
Ee Wanted to Continue His Military Ca
reer, but His Parents Objected.

When the war closed. Mckinley was
just 20. He was full of youthful en-
thusiasm and ardor, and he returned to
his home in Ohio fully expecting to &C
cept the flattering offer made him of a
commission in the regular army
But 20 this his parents offered strong
opposition. They pointed out the small
rewards to honor and ambition that
come to the soldier in time Of peace. AT
length he yielded to their persuasions
and reluctantly gave up his dreams Of
martial glory and bent his mind upon
the pursuits of peace The war had
made q man of him and ended all
thought Of a collegiate career. He cast
about for profession, and naturally,
considering the bent of his mind, he
chose the law. He became a student in
the Offices Of Charles e. GlidGsn and
David Wilson, then leaders of the Ma
honing county bar He supplemented
his reading by taking the course at the
Albany Law school, and in 1867 was
admitted to the practice. He located at
Canton, where he formed partnership
with Judge Belden.
He was an excellent advocate, even i'll
those early years, and made some of the
best jury arguments ever made at the
Stark county bar At the time he was
first elected to congress he enjoyed one
of the leading places and one of the best
general practices in the county.
AS lawyer Mr.. Mckinley was al
ways thorough and careful i'll the prepa-
ration Of cases He had the confidence Of
everybody and soon became particularly
prominent as an advocate. He prepared
himself by thorough courses of readiIi
for his public career. He is much
Garfield was in this respect and pos
sesses elements of strength by reason of
his thorough study of political subjects.
He seems to have had i'll view from the
beginning the devotion Of his life to
public service. During all his early pro-
fessiona$ years he was an active partici-
pant in Republican campaigns and early
gave evidence of the power he has since
developed as public speaker and ora
tor. The plan of his political speaking
has always been the same. He first thor
oughly masters the subject in hand and
then presents it forcibly.

Mrs. c. II. Cline, who lives on the corner
of Perrine and Pearl Streets, Jackson, Mich,
has for two years been troubled with indiges-
ton and nervous prostration, her heart would
apparently stop beating. She would suffer
great pain in fact, she honestly thought she
on by severe attack of Ia grippe. Sleep
was nearly q stranger to her for all this time,
and life had become burden to her until she
was advised by friendly neighbors who had
used DIR. Williams Pink Pills to give them
q trial, which she did, and it would be hard to
find a more grateful woman in Michigan than
Mrs. c. II. Cline as prominent physicians
had given her up, while to-day she is able to
do her own work and is as pleasant little
body as one would like to visit. Sho used
three Pink Pills day only, the last one just
before retiring, which always insured her q
good nights rest
Mrs. Cline is only thirty years old and
could i'll afford to let her life slowly ebb away.
1t is difficult for one to describe her ailments
but we can say to all afflicted that if they
will call or write to Mrs. Cline they will not
only be thoroughly convinced of the merits of
these little friends, for she persists in calling
them such, but she will also tell you of her
marvellous cure, and we can guarantee that
she will convince you that she owes her life to-
day to DR.. Williams Pink Pills which she
would not be without for its weight in gold.
This evidence is only u repetition of what
all people say who have tried this wonderful
remedy. It's as faithful friend as one could
possibly introduce into their household, never
Falling, always reliable in times of great suffer-
ing and danger. Now to show how sincere she
was she mentioned that she induced her hus-
band, Mr.. G. III. Cline, to try the remedy

In one hour from being struck with one of his

igan Central Railroad than her husband, who

M'klNLEY'S POLITICAL CAREER.
His Work as Congressman, Tariff Special
ist and Governor of Ohio.

His Work as Congressman, Tariff Special
list and Governor of Ohio.
Major Mckinley was but 33 years old
when he was elected by the people Of
his district to represent them in con-
gress. There he soon made his mark,
and was returned at each subsequent
election until that of 1890, in which
year gerrymander of his district de-
feated him by majority Of only 800.
This was the eliminating one Of several
efforts on the part Of the Democratic
legislature to gerrymander Mckinley
out of congress.
While in congress he served ON the
committee on revision Of laws, the ju.
dietary committee, the committee on
expenditures in the postoffice depart
ment and the committee ON rules.
When General Garfield received the
nomination for the presidency, Mr.. Nc
Kinley was assigned to the vacancy on
the committee on ways and means. He
served ON the last mentioned committee
until the expiration of his last term as
representative. While chairman of this
committee he framed the Mckinley
bill, which afterward became q law and
which still bears his name.
Mckinley was protege of ex-Presi-
dent Hayes, and up to the time of the
latter's death he recognized the ex-
president as his adviser and counselor.
He was in GenerN Hayes regiment
during the rebellion. General Hayes
knew him and his father well, and saw
in the dashing young cavalier the germ
Of greatness. He needed counselor, an
adviser, a friend, and General Hayes
watched over him with the filial love,
devotion and pride Of father.
The war ended, Mckinley still re-
manned an object Of hope, Of interest
and pride to General Hayes Mckinley
became candidate for congress and was
elected. When Hayes was president,
Mckinley was in the house Of represent
atives. The major was frequent well
come visitor at the White House. One
day the president gave Mckinley adj
vice, which made Mckinley the FORE
most champion Of protective tariff.
President Hayes thus spoke to the young
representative:
"To achieve success and fame you
must pursue "a special line. You must
not make speech on every motion Of
fered or bill introduced. You must con-
fine yourself to one particular thing.
Become a specialist. Take up SOME
branch Of legislation and make that
your study. Why not take Up the subject
Of tariff? Being subject that will not
be settled for years to come, it offers a
great field for study and a chance for
ultimate fame"
With these words ringing in his ears
Mckinley began studying the tariff and
soon became the foremost authority on

descent, and his ancestors immigrated
to this country early enough to have
sons who took patriotic part in the
war Of the Revolution.
The family removed from Pennsyl-

day have eet;i identified with that state,

1t was among such people and OF
them that William Mckinley was born,

A younger son, he was destined by
his father, after whom he was named,
for the bar, and was educated ut the

came "a Brevot Major.
Young Mckinley had been keen OBJ
server, so far as his opportunities went,
of the political events that eliminated
in the firing on Fort Sumter The call
of the president for troops found a quick
response in his breast, as it did all
through the north. And when the drums
and flies aroused the echoes of the quiet
streets of Poland, among the first appli-
cants for enlistment was William Nc
Kinley, Jr.
It was q new experience and new
school that the 18-year-old boy entered,
this school of war, but he had wonder
full teachers. 1t was his good fortune
that assigned him to the Twenty-third
Ohio. The recruits that composed it
were in June, 1861, mustered and form
ed into a regiment. It's first colonel was
William S. Rosecrans, afterward major
general commanding the department Of
the Cumberland. Second in command
vas Stanley Matthews, who V rs splen-
did soldier, but won his greatest honors
in civil life by becoming United States
senator and justice of the United States
supreme court and Rutherford b.
Hayes, afterwa1d governor of Ohio and
president Of the United States. These
are few Of the illustrious men who
were borne On the roll of officers of the
gallant regiment in which marched Pri-
vate William Mckinley, Jr.
He carried the musket for Ia months;
then he was promoted. But he won his
promotion honestly. His comrades OF
the rank and file bear testimony to the
fact that he was good soldier; that he
performed every duty devolving upon
him with fidelity and intelligence and
without complaint. They congratulated
him, therefore, when he was made COM
missary sergeant of the regiment. Later,
after Antietam, he was made second
lieutenant, and the Mahoning county
boy had risen from the ranks
He was now to all intents and pur-
poses q trained veteran. He had had his
baptism in blood at Carnifex Ferry. He
had gone through the West Virginia
campaign and become part of the
pa0nifcent Army of the Potomac under
