THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
President Mckinley said in part
Gentlemen of the Union League: An
alter dinner speech is to me always a
dlmcult performance; an after election
speech after dinner is a still more diff
cult task, and 1 shall do little more tina N
make acknowledgment to this patriotic
association for its unceaSing loyalty to
the government; for the earnest SUPPORT
1t has given to the present administra :
ton In trying Years through which it
has passed, and express nv sincere
thanks for the great homer this meeting
and demonstration bring to me, which
should be shared by my distinguished
associate on the national ticket, the vice
president elect, as well as by those con-
nected with me in the conduct of public
affairs
Nothing in government can be more
impressive than national election.

mandate and recorded the will
A great variety of subjects was pre-
scented and discussed in the progress of
