the advice of his old friend to belr adjusG
it, and upon Mr.. Morse's counsel, be made
tho federal appointments in the state. So
until few weeks ago Mr. Morse was u
welcome visitor at the White House and
the President always asked him for views
on public questions.
'dIhat was one OF hisUharacteristics"
said Mr.. Morse. No matter whether he

the same William Mckinley as he sat In
the White House that knew at Poland
and In Canton, calm. digniicd and fanci.
full cautious about what he said and
always ready to grasp q man by tho hand
and hear what he had to say.
"His characteristic In seeking counsel
Of others was evidenced In a remark he
made during the Spanish war" continued
Mr.. Morse. II called on him to express
my objection to certain developments, and
when had finished he said, that not every
thing<exactly suited him, but oil would
turn out right, and continuing with his
hand on my shoulder, made this request:
"And now, Mr.. Morse. want you,
whenever you are not atisfled with the
way aud our questions are considered, to
colne down here and lot mo know your
Objections" want to know how the
country feels ON every question.
