The Arizona sentinel., 1901-09-25

He was a pure politician, a faithful public servant, a great statesman. His gentleness ot heart was shown in his tender care of his wife.
 A short time before the trip to Buffalo some one handed him an autograph album with request that he write his name in it. He took the book and turned over the leaves. The owner expected him to write his name on the first page, but he turned over the pages until he came to a page in the back part that was decorated by asimple little bunch of pansies-Mrs. McKhlley's ia vorite flower. Beneath the bunch of pansies were the words " uO CdIl uSSS lllS- IICn C1
 Of simple little flower" And with a smile lighting his noble face, he wrote simply civilian Mckinley"
 He was a lover of peace.
 1 quote from his last public speech:
 'Our earnest prayer is that God will graciously vouchsafe prosperity, happiness and peace to all our neighbors, and like blessings to all the peoples and powers of the earth"
 When the murderer who had shot him was felled to the floor by the angry and excited crowd, the president looked down upon the struggling group and said: Don't let them hurt him"
 Of him the poetess Ella Wheeler Wilcox has sweetly written
 ''Youth proclaimed him as 6 hero; time,
 a statesman; love, man; Death has crowned him as martyr.
 So from goal to goal he ran, Knowing all the sum of glory that q
 Human life may span. He was chosen by the people, not an
 accident of birth
 Made him ruler of nation, but his
 own intrinsic worth.
 Fools may govern over kingdOms-not
 republics of the earth.
 He has raised the lovers standard, by
 his loyalty and faith.
 He has shown how virile manhood may
 keep free from scandals breath. He has gazed with trust unshaken in
 the awful eyes of death. In the mighty march of progress he
 has sought to do his best: Let his enemies be silent as we lay
 him down to rest,
 And may God assuage the anguish of
 one suffering woman's breast"
 If it is true that the departed, when they pass to the great be- yond, still watch over us and bless us with their aid-and this I want to believe and do believe he will continue to be our friend and our counsellor.
 Let us strive to emulate the purity and usefulness of his life and the example which he has set for us.
 And let us pray God to bless us in the future with public men as pure, as noble, as tender, and as faithful as William Mckinley.
 And now, my friends, 1 can only take leave of you with his own last words, Good bye, all. Goodbye. It is Gods way, His will, not ours, be done"
 MT. Robertson's address was delivered with much feeling and was listened to with profound attention and interest. There were portions of the address that would have been vigorously ap- plause but for the solemn occa- sion and the deplorable event which inspired it's sentiment.
 The next incident of the pro- gramme was the song, "Rock of Ages" by the quartette, followed by an address in Spanish deliv- cred by Hon. Ramon Ochoa. It was received with evident satis- faction by his fellow co1ntrymen and breathed a patriotic spirit to be commended and applauded. Mir. Ochoa said.
 "The sad event of which the country is grieving plunges one and all into an overwhelming ocean of pain and melancholy, and every sensitive heart bleeds through the wound inflicted by the drastic dart of sordid in fanny that hasFaised a dark cloud of atfiiction upon the whole of the people of the United States of America and of the world at large. Now we are all gathered
