BY Henry B. Russell.

Dy IlCIi ID. huSScll.
1t is the object of this book to give a
clear, impartial authentic, and complete
history OF the public career and private
lives Of William Mckinley and Garret A.
Hobart from boyhood to the present date
to record facts, incidents, anecdotes, sto-
ries, and experiences that will reveal the
true character OF the men and enable us to
see. them exactly as. they are.
1t tells of the humble circumstances ol
McKinley's early days, of his life as boy,
OF his years of unremitting toll, of bis life
as country schoolmaster, of his splendid
war record with its manifold thrilling
experiences, Of his career as law student
and country attorney, how he came to
enter political lite, Of his achievements in
congress, Of the momentops events that
have transpred since, and the prominent
part he took in them; of his record as
governor; of his marriage, his home life,
and so forth. In short, it is the most COM
plete and exhaustive record Of his lite and
work that can possibly be written, for much
of it was penned by his own hand. He
supplied abundant material to the author,
and gave him access to important data and
facts that have not been supplied to any
other writer.
This is not only the best but it is the
cheapest campaign book extant. 1t gives
more matter Of better quality, and very
much finer engravings than any other, is
more handsomely printed, on better paper,
more durably bound, and is sold for very
much less money than any other book pur-
porting to be '.just as good" as this. We
believe that one million copies will be sold,
because this is the peoples edition, author
lied by Mckinley himself, and its price
one dollar and upwards brings it within
the reach OF all. Its high quality and its
low price mark an epoch in the history Of
subscription books. There is no Life Of
the Candidates ''as good as" or as low in
price as Hon. Henry B. Russell's.
Its author is distinguished as one of the
most brilliant journalists of our day. As
personal friend of both candidates, il
was natural that he should be chosen as
their biographer.
The illustrations are mainly from photo.
graphs supplied by Mckinley himself and
by members Of his family. They are beau.
titul specimens of the engraver's skill.
We do not know when SAG pages have
given us more genuine pleasure. If We
speak warmly OF the book, is is because II
richly deserves it. 1t is sold only by
agents, and is meeting with an enormous
sale. Agents who introduce work like
this ought to be cordially welcomed. We
believe that the best way to keep out pool
books is by introducing good ones, and s
better one than this has never been brought
to our notice. 1t is a high-class book
richly illustrated, and sold at marvellously
low price. Put it into your homes. L
will be read over and over again by ole
and young, with pleasure and lasting profit
The work is published by the old ant
we'll known firm of A. ID. Worthington
Co., Hartford, Conn, who want agent
everywhere for it, and whose imprint il
sufficient guarantee of the excellence o
the volume. John l.. johnson is canvass
