When eur voters proudly exercised their
right OF suffrage the other day, and re-
elected the Hon. William Mckinley, they
gave his frst-term Administration a clean
bill Of health The vox populi told him
that whatever ne had done during the
nearly four years last past, was right;

Into his gentle hands, and those OF the
