favor of the denomination of President
Harrison. He was elected delegate
at-large as Harrison man. and the
understanding was that Ohio would
vote solidly for the Presidents re-
nomination.
The convention made Mckinley its
permanent chairman, and the speech
he made at the time is viewed as one
of the most mastery representations
of the issues before the country ever
pronounced. Again at that convention
Major Mckinley insisted upon his
name being withdrawn as a candidate
and this Notwithstanding the fact that
the delegation from his own state, I'M
known to him, decided to cast it's
votes for him. When the vote of

nominated for president of the United
States by reclamation. Mr.. Clarkson
of Iowa, seconded the motion. An OBJ
lection, however, being made that the
roll call was in progress, Mckinley
withdrew his motion, but when the
roll call was completed the motion
was again put and the nomination was
made unanimous.
Second GubernatoriaI Campaign.
The second gubernatorial campaign
opened at time when every state and
territory OF the union was suffering
from the effects of a panic. The re
publicans met in convention at Col
umbus on June Z, 1898, and renominat
ed Mckinley for governor by acclama
! ton. His democratic opponent was L
T. Leal, but he defeated him by the
phenomenal plurality of S0995 on the
largest vote that had ever been cas-
in Ohio up to that time.
The second term of Mckinley a
governor terminated with the genera
expression of public opinion in hi:
own state that he should be promoted
to the presidency of the United States
which opinion has since been twice in
dorsed by the nation.
Nominatd President.
In 1896 Mckinley accepted the nom
ination as presidential candidate, a
the st. Louis convention, receivin
661 out of total of 905 votes, and il
November, 1896, he was elected Pres
dent by a popular plurality of 10000
votes, and received 271 electoral vote
as against 176 for William ]. Bryan
; In 1900 President Mckinley was re
, elected, receiving 292 electoral vote
as against 155 cast for Col Bryan.
During President McKinley's frs
term came the war with Spain, whic
lasted from April 81, 1898, until Apr
IL, 1899, although actual hostilitie
ceased on August 10, 1898. Mchinle

THIRD MARTYREo PRESIDENT.
Killing of Lincoln and Garfield Is Wv
idly Recalled.

luly heCdliSus
President Mckinley is the third
,martyred president of the United
States.
President Abraham Lincoln had en-
tered the second month of his second
term with the clouds of war which
darkened the nations life for years
rapidly dissolving under the sunshine
OF peace. The confederacy was scat
tered. Appomattox was history. The
president entered Richmond the day
after it's fall, and was actively engaged
in devising generous plans for the re-
construction of the union when on the
evening of Good Friday, April IA, 1865,
he was shot while seated in box at
Ford's theater, Washington, by j.
Wilkes Booth. Almost simultaneously
a murderous attack was made upon
William H. Seward, the secretary OF
state. President Lincoln expired the
following morning, April Is. No trag
edy up to that time caused such
widespread sorrow, such intense, be
wildered excitement The funeral OF
the martyr president was conducted
with unexampled solemnity. The body
was conveyed to- and laiu in state il
| the leaLlng cities, of the east and mid
! die west, and was laid at rest in OaF
Ridge cemetery. Springfield, Ill.,, May
