He had a strong liking for a soldiers
life. and had it not been for his faith
err he would have attached himself 70
the regular army. Returning home. he
studied law with Judge Charles E. Glid-
den at Canton, and at the Albany Law
School. In March, 1861, he was admitted
to practice, and he at once attracted at
tention as a lawyer of distinct ability.
His record in congress is a long and
enviable one. He proposed antitrust
and a~nti-option laws. He fought for the
adoption of the eight-hour law, and his
personal popularity, marked by his deep
faith in the people, became y
IN NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
At two national conventions, William
Mckinley had refused to become a cal-
didate before the great party gatherings
in ST. Louis in 1896, when he was made
the party's standard-bearer on the first
ballot. In 1888 he forbade the use of his
name, standing firmly by Sherman as
his choice for the nomination, when his
unspoken acquiescence might have given
him the post at the head OF the tickets
In the convention of 1892, though he was
a staunch supporter Of Benjamin Harri~
sen and refused to allow the use Of his
name, nus name WAS presented anu nc
received 1872 voices. As permanent chair
mar of the convention. he at once left
the chair on the announcement of this
result Of the first ballot and presented
the motion in person that the nomination
CT Mr.. Harrison be made unanimous.
The st. Louis convention of 1896 was
like a great ratification meeting in that
William Mckinley was nominated with
a sweep on the first ballot. His presiden.
tial record of the last four years is writ
ten in the smiling faces of every Amer
lean citizen, a seal of the prosperity n
business activity which has brought the
high-water mark in the field Of American
industry.

shows that he seems to hav had a pur-

gained much valuable experience. he
FASTENED back to New York ana threw
himself into the political fight then rag
ing. His wonderful earnestness n en-
ergy asserted itself at once. and in the
fall Of 1881 he was elected to the assem-
bly, from the Murray Hill district. He
served for three terms and won for him
self the name of being a fearless cham
pion of the rights of the people.
During these years he secured the
abolition of fees in the Office of the coun-
ty clerk, the setting aside Of the joint
power of the board of aldermen-of es-
pecial benefit to New York City. He vas
foremost in securing the passage of the
civil service reform law in 1884 NJ in
bringing about an Investigation of the
police department and the municipal
government of New York City in the
same year. In 1884 he was chairman OF
the New York delegation to the nationa:
republican convention, and. though at
first opposed to James G. Blaine as the
most logical candidate, gave him his
hearty support after the nomination mad
been made.
HIS RACE AGAINST HEWITT.
In 1886. though leading what was re-
garded as a "forlorn hope" he was NOM
mated for mayor Of New York city, but
was defeated by Abram s. Hewitt. tine

ponents then, as now, freely admitted
that his life and public career had been
i~rreproaohably correct; that he is a
splendid statesman, masterful, Cod
fearing, ar-sighted-the true American
citizen.
He was appointed a member of the
national civil service commission in May.
1889. by President Harrison. He served
until 1895. using every effort to apply the
merit system justly to all executive de-
partments. His work and zeal here
showed the country the first practical
application of these rules to civil gov
ernment. He stood unfit nchingly at all
times for civil service reform, honestly
applied.
He became president Of the New York
board of police commissioners in 1895.
and here his work brought him to the
attention of the entire country. The in
vestfgation conducted by the state as
sembly at his request had shown the
corruption existing in the police circles
Of New York, and he at once set about
to secure an uncOmprOmising enforce
ment of the laws. He was criticised AMI
slandered, but he persisted in his course

D cath Of Mrs. Hester SPOTS.

This estimable and well known
lady died last Saturday and was bur
led on Sunday from the Methodist
church, of which she had been a
worthy member for many years. Her
death was not unexpected, as she
had been quite feeble for long time
and was in she 18Th year of her age.
She was the wife of the late Fran.
els p. SPOTS, who died about thirty.
five years ago. in this town, and was
related by marriage to the large fam
lily of that name as we'll as to nany
of the prominent families of Southwes
Virginia and Tennessee. Two child
rem SURVIVE, Miss Carrie. and Mrs.
Jos. Stras, of Roanoke. Her sisters,
Misses Kate and Matte Smythe and
brother, 81. M. Smythe, are among
the near relatives living amongst us.
Her life was long and useful, and
at its close she awaited the rest that
remaineth. so many of the friends
of her youth and companions of her
later years have gone before, that the
further shore looked all the brighter
to the dim eyes whose vision bright
ened as the lids dropped in mortal
weakness. Let sorrowing friends
remember that the dread of death,
and all its pain is over, and that
already she has entered into that
heaven that is the compensation for
all the trouble of living.
