with just time to catch the trains.
He was afterward leaning over one od

The New York Sun, radically Demo-
cratic newspaper, in review of the period
between the Inauguration of President
Mckinley and his departure from WASH
ington after the first five months of hard
work, declares it to have been one of
distinct "trial and achievement, in
which he has succeeded in winning for
his Administration and for himself the
resyect and good will of vast majority
of his fellow citizens" These statements
says the Philadelphia Ledger, will be
accepted as inidsputably true by every
intelligent and unprejudiced observer of
President McKinley's Administration.
That which will appear as the most
striking, and as probably the most graft
flying, characteristic of his Administration
is the consistency of the Presidents
official acts with his previous declarations
of principles and policies. From the time
that Mr.. Mckinley accepted the nomi-
nation OF bis party he has stood re So
tutely upon the Republican platform. In
respect of the tariff, of the currency and
of civil lservice reform his position has
been steadfast, public spirited and saga.
