M'KINLEY'S CAREER.



Henry Loomis Nelson in Golfers Weekly.
Mr.. McKinleys career has been one os
marvellous success. He is a typical Ameri-
can of the Middle West, and he comes of
that typical American family which is quite
likely in some one generation to produce
one distinguished man. Twelve years ago.
when he was reelected to the House of
Representatives for the seventh time very
few pople dreamed that he would ever be
President. He was leader In the House on
the tariff issue. and because he had a GER
tain force in speech; but he was not seri-
ously considered as a candidate for the
speakership, which went to Thomas b.
Reed. His previous career had been mod
est, as he was. He had enlisted in the
army, in the Twenty-third Regiment of his
native State of Ohio in June, 1861. and had
served through the war with moderate dis
tinction, reaching the grace of captain and
the brevet grade of major, the brevet be-
ing given to him for gallantry in battle.
Much of his service was on staff duty.
When he was mustered out, on July 26. 1866.
he was in his twenty-third year, so that he
was eighteen when ne enlisted. Before en-
tering the army he had been a student at
Allegheny College in Meadville. Pa. He
now applied himself to the study of law.
and settled at Canton, where he lives, and
in 1861 he was admitted TO the bar. Two
years afterward he was chosen prosecuting
attorney of Stark county, and, in 1876 was
elected to Congress. serving for fourteen
years. In the last year Of this service.
chairman Of the committee OF ways and
means, he was the author of the tariff law
which bore his name. In the election
that followed in that year he lost
his seat in the House Some say that he
was defeated because the Democrats had
gerrymandered his district; others because
of the unpopularity of his tariff law How
ever this may be, his tariff law made him
Governor of Ohio for two terms, and Presi-
dent of the United States. From 1894 to 1896
he was out of Office, but he had received
1S2 votes for the nomination for President
in 1892, and had been chairman of the con-
vention. In 1854 and in 1883 he had reported
the national platforms to the conventions
