tial nomination, and he might easily
have secured the coveted prize, but n
a strong address he forbade the use OF
his name for the reason that he had
pledged his support to Senator Sher-
man. The same thing was repeated in
1892, when, in the face of the most
urgent appeals from friends from Ohio
and elsewhere, he declined to accept a
nomination and carried the day for Har-
rison.
Should any foolhardy individual ven-
ture to say ought against Maj. McKin-
ley's personal appearance he would be
torn to pieces by Canton mob. AS far
SIS am concerned, could see nothing
Napoleonic about the ex-governor. He
struck me a very pleasant-lool<ing
gentleman of medium stature and
weight, who looks one squarely in the
eye and seems to read ones thoughts.
He is probably five feet eight in height,
and weighs about $50 pounds-just the
correct proportion for man of his age.
There is nothing about him to remind
cne of Bonaparte's cold stare or naughty
impudence, nor of the COrsican's 8
treachery and cruelty.
When 1 mentioned this to pleasan.
Canton matron she agreed with me. and
clinched the argument by adding: If
he had been cruel man, or q naughty
man, Ida Sexton would never have mar
ried him. This observation led to a
chat about the home life of the McKin-
lcys, and / was pleased to learn that
Mrs. Mckinley is scarcely less esteemed
than her distinguished husband. She is
Canton girl, the daughter of James 4.
Sexton. who was one of the most prom
inent business men of the town. She
married the ma jor on January 25, 1871,
and their life since then, so everybody
says, has been an ideal one. When she
was Ida Sexton she was considered one
OF the bellies of Ohio. After graduating
from Brook Hall seminary, at Media,
Pa, she Travelled through Europe; and
upon her return acted as assistant cash
ier or manager in her fathers bank.
Naturally the bright young woman was
paid considerable attention by the
young men of her acquaintance; but,
to use modern slang phrase, Maj. Nc
Kinley "had cinch" on her affections
and, what was equally important, on
her fathers esteem. Rumor has it
and ru1nor, you know. never lies-that
when the young lawyer asked for his
daughters hand old James Saxton said.
You are the only man l have ever
Known to whom L would entrust my
daughter"

confirmed invalid for years she has

she could promote his interests and am
bitions. The home life of the couple

though the entertainment presented
was not strictly first-class. The Curl
osity seekers were rather imposed upon
by trick of Senator Dolph, who also
made victim of Senator Vance. The
latter had been for many days fixing up
great speech, intending to set himself
right with his tar-heel constituents, and
With southern democrats generally. The
Farmers Alliance had been very active
in North Carolina, and the good-natured
Mr. Vance felt called upon to tickle
them with speech. The night session
was ordered specially for Mr.. Vancc's
benefit, and hosts of his admirers VINO
always enjoyed his characteristic story
telling and mirth-provoking speeches,
were on hand. When President Ingalls,
gayel fell Mr.. Vance was ready to go on
with the programme. His manuscript
was piled high on his desk, a glass of
water was at his side, and his lips were
puckered to say: Mr.. President"
when the solemn and slender Dolph, of
Oregon, arose, and, being recognized,
began dry and long-winded speech
in opposition to reciprocity with Can
ada. The surprise and disappointment
of the audience, the senators and every
body else was painful. Mr.. Vance, in
deed was indignant and disgusted. He
waited a good long time, too, for both
the evening and the audience were half
gone when Dolph talked himself to a
standstill; and then he sat down.
Audience or no audience Senator
Vance determined to deliver that speech.
and he arose and began it. He glared at
Senator Dolph who had spoiled his pro-
gramme, adjusted his spectacIes, and
lifted up his voice.
In each of the cloalxrooms there was
large bowl of lemonade and several
baskets of Apoilinaris on ice Down

by senators who never indulged, sena-

Clever Way In Which Senator Dolph Made

Especial Washington letter.

The Fifty-fOurth congress has man
aged to get along without night ses-
sions, as contests of physical endur-
ance. The last resort to that senatorial
folly was in October, 1893, when the
silver purchase repeal bill was under
consideration. Time was when night
session of the senate was an event, in
deed In the good old days before sem
ators had become SO temperate and so
afraid of public opinion that they felt
called upon to state openly in the senate
whether or not they ever got drunk. a
night session was something of sight,
snd often wound up in a feast. 1t was
customary in those days for the SER
geant at arms to have an open spread"
to which everybody who could get adj
mission to the chamber was welcome.
On those occasions employees freely
clinked glasses with senators, and it
was with great reluctance that consent
was given for adjournment. Times
have changed, however, and night ses-
sion of the senate is now but a tame
affair.
There have been numerous night ses-
sions full of funny situations Senator
Zeb Vance, of North Carolina, who was
statesman, hunorist, wit and orator.
once was made the victim of a practical
joke; but the people in the galleries
suffered with him. 1t was one night in
1890 when the senate held its first night
session in the Fifty-first congress. The
big light in the dome of the capitol, be-
meath the feet of the goddess of liberty,
bIazed out brilliantly that night. The
meeting was rendered necessary by the
desire of senators to be heard on the
question of reciprocity, which came out
for the first time, the debate being
opened by the brief but telling speech
cf Senator Hale. A night session of the
senate always attracts a crowd of spec
tatOrS.
The galleries were full long before

ing, and the visitors remained late. al
