It was a Mckinley first night. The
moon that looked down from the serene
sky seemed altogether dazed She has
night after night for nearly four years
now looked down from placid skies upon
a more and more placid Democratic ad-
ministration. During all that time not
the Fourth of July, nor the Columbian Ex-
position, nor a California fiesta, nor any
other creature could so much as awaken
a North American cheer or provoke
thrill of enthusiasm.
Last night the air, split into irregular
fragments by the cheers of the people,
smelled of burnt powder and was aaame
with rockets.
The streets were thronged with people
men and women and their babies-mov-
ing with light step and cheering the
marching army of Republican patriots.
The name of Mckinley sounded in their
ears very like the whirr OF wheels and an
increased income.
The moon had seen nothing like this

man, rather short than tall OF stature, and
inclined to corpulency. His hands were
in his pantaloon pockets and his feet wide
apart, giving him solid foundation. This
attitude is in harmony with the rest of his
physical makeup-strong, purposeful, re-
liant.
Standing in this position, with shoul-
ders set well back and chest thrown for
ward, the hereditary determination of his
Scotch-Irish ancestry stands revealed. The
square, forward chin, the square jaw, the
lines extending downward from the cor
ners of the mouth. the deepset lines from
the corners of the nostrils, the dimple OF
babyhood grown into the cleft in the chin,
the lips horizontally set and the almost
level eyebrows tell the same story.
The most conspicuous facial character
istic of this man upon whom the eyes of
nation are blazing to-day is his aquiline
profile. 1t reminds you at once of an
eagles head. There are the curved beak

ward curve of the mouth to make the re-
sem blance more vivid. Like most of the
other dwellers in the moist heat of the
great West, and like the Bonaparte whom
he resem bes, there is no color in the Nc
kinley face and this absence of red. which
is often an indication of temperate life,
is made more prominent by the dark hair
and eyebrows and the suit of solemn black
cloth and the black tie which he wears.

deeply set, behind black and somewhat
shaggy brows. Indeed they are set so
deeply that there does not seem to be any
eyehd above them, and most of the time
they are shaded. The brown hue of
the upper strip of the lower eyelid adds to
these a Rembrant chiaroscuro effect.
From the midst of these shades, two
round, bright, gray eyes shine at you. The
look is not keen and penetrating, nor de-
livered from ambush, but open, bold and
sparkling. There is no winking of the
dark eyelashes, but the round pupils shine
as polished crystal. They are among the
frankest eyes I ever looked into.

ter times passed by TO the music of the
bands, the bursting of rockets and the
martial tread OF the marching army OF Re-
publicans the enthusiasm of the crowd
kept pace and the cheers ran with them
also from the Palace Hotel to the Pavilion.
Every division was led by brass band
and music seemed to move in an uninter-
rupted stream out the thoroughfare.
Long before 8 o'clock, without waiting
for the demonstration of fireworks, music
and the marching multitude in the street
people began pouring into the Pavilion,
and by the time the head of the process
sion had reached there its capacity had al
most been tested. The stage was crowded
with distinguished citizens, who faced a.
multitude ready to cheer the speakers and
sound the slogan for Mckinley and pros
perity.
The interior of the Pavilion had been
draped with flags and bunting that seemed
to pulsate with the feeling of iubilant ex-
element that pervaded the people that
filed the space beneath.

The cry of the boys on the streets, "Get
your Mckinley badges here" was drowned
by the music as soon as the procession
moved.
All along Market street, from the Palace
Hotel to the Pavilion, the air was lurid
with red and blue lights, Roman candles
and skyrockets and the bursting of bonn bs,
while the strains OF music mingled with
the cheers of the paraders and the throng
OF men, women and children who block

procession.
Transparencies were numerous and
torches and fireworks were as plentiful as
leaves on trees.
Japanese lanterns were carried by the
members of the Continental League, who
looked as picturesque as patriotic. The

Answering single days notice, an army
had come into the streets with torches
and banners and bands and fireworks and
transparencies that seemed to have sprung
into place by magic. A multitude gath
cred in Mechanics Pavilion until it could
hold no more, eager to hear repeated to

campaign had opened that was to bring to
an end the period of apathy, depression,

The Assem- bling of the marching army

the sharp cries of command, the flare and

the fight against the position taken by
President Buchanan. So rapid was
the growth of republican sentiment
that the formerly strong democratic
strongholds were showing decided
republican leanings. The even division
of sentiment thus made the debates
intensely interesting, as a change here

thought, would change the result.
The people were in a frame of mind to

kline, d. D., of Geneva, and Rev. John
S. Lindsay, D. D., of Boston.
At recent meeting of the laity rep
resentatives in this city there was con
siderable favorable talk regarding the
proposition to divide the diocese.
When the interest on the episcopate
fund reaches $4,000 this will in all
probability be done. The change
however, cannot be completed before
the fall of 1898, the year in which the
national council meets.
After the diocese chooses a successor
to Bishop Coke the selection has to be
passed upon by the standing commit
tee of the laity of the whole church
and then by the episoopate. So it will
be three or four months after the
election before the bishop can be con-
secrated.
