family and the friends and political
associates of the president were pres
ent. The scene there was pathetic in
the extreme Then the body was
borne through solid walls of living
humanity, bareheaded and grief strick-
en-. to the city hall, where it lay in
state.
There a remarkable demonstration
occurred, which proved how close the
president was to the hearts of the peo-
pie. Arrangements had been wade
to allow the public to view the body
from the time it arrived at about 1870
o'clock until about o'clock. But the
people were wedged into the streets
for blocks. When o'clock came 49,
600 people had passed and the crowd
waiting below in the streets seemed
undiminished. 1t was decided to ex-
tend the time until midnight. Then
for hours longer the streets were
dense with people and a constant
stream flowed past the bier.
When the doors were closed at mid
night it was estimated that $4,000 peo-
pie had viewed the remains. Thou
sands of disappointed ones were still

Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. IA
President Mckinley died at 2:15 a. m.
He had been unconscious since 1850
D. m. His last conscious hour on earth
was spent with his wife to whom he
devoted a life time of care. He died
unattended by minister of the gospel,
but his last words were an humble
submission to the will of God, in whom
he believed. He was reconciled to the
cruel fate to which an assassin's bull
let had condemned him and faced
death in the same spirit of calmness
which has marked his long and hon
orable career.
The president in his last period of
consciousness, which ended about
7:40, chanted the words of the hymn,
Nearer, My God, to Thee" and his
last audible words, as taken down by
DR.. Mann at the bedside, were:
"Goodby all, goodby 1t is Gods
way. His will be DONE"
Then his mind began to wander and
soon he completely lost consciousness.
His life was prolonged for hours by
the administration of oxygen and the
president finally expressed a desire to
be allowed to die. About $3.50 the adj
ministration of oxygen ceased and the
pulse grew fainter and fainter. He
was sinking gradually, like child
into the eternal slumber. By 10
o'clock the pulse could no longer be
felt in his extremities and they grew
cold
His relatives and the members of
his official family were at the Milburn
house, except Secretary Wilson, who
did not avail himself of the oppor-
tunity, and some of his personal and
political friends took leave of him.
The actual death probably occurred
about o'clock, it being understood
that DR.. Rixey delayed the announce
ment to assure himself. The an
nouncement of the news to those wait
ing below was postponed until the
members of the family had withdrawn.
Through Secretary Cortelyou the
waiting newspaper men received the
notification. In a trice there was the
keenest excitement on the streets.
When the news was impaired to
those down stairs, great sigh of an
guish went up from the strong men
there assembled. The members of
the cabinet, senators and close friends
remained but a few minutes. Then
with mournful tread and bowed heads
they came out into the darkness and
went away. There was not one among
them with dry eyes and some moaned
in agony of grief.
Those present at the time of the
presidents death were: Secretary
Cortelyou, DR. Rixey, Mrs. and Miss
Barber and Miss Duncan.
The Autopsy.
Buffalo, Sept l6.-The following report
of the autopsy upon the remains of Pres
ident Mckinley was issued at o'clock:
"The bulle which struck over the
brease bone did not pass through the skin
and did little harm. The other bullet
passed through both walls of the stom-
ach near its lower border. Both holes
were found to be perfectly closed by the
stitches, but the tissue around each hole
had become gangrenous. After passing
through the stomach the bullet passed
into the back walls of the abdomen, HIT

greater work began in 1881. when Gar
field was elected to the presidency,
and the place Garfield held on the
ways and means committee of the
house was given to the young man
who soon became known as the cham
pion of protection.
He became the republican leader on
the floor in the tariff debates and en-
tered into the discussion with so much
enthusiasm that for the first time in
congress these discussions of tariff
schedules became interesting and
even entertaining to the general pub
lie. Speaker Reed once said of Nc
klnley that he was the most passion
ate American. He was chairman of
the committee on resolutions in the
republican national conventions of
1884 and 1888, and men who served
on that committee with him said that
he dominated it like a master spirit
by his enthusiasm and passionate de-
votion to the principle he had so much
at heart. In 1890 he was defeated
for reelection.
Governor of Ohio.
Mckinley was out of congress. but
not out of politics, because the repub-
licans of Ohio would not let him re.
tire to private life. They had a demo
cratic administration, with a popular
governor, and they needed a strong
man to defeat him. They began to
talk about Mckinley as the candidate.
and when the convention assembled.
In June, 1891, it had only to ratify the
choice of the people by nominating
Mckinley by reclamation.
Then followed one of the most mem
orable campaigns ever waged in the
Buckeye state. Mckinley began his
campaign the first of August, and for
three months he travelled night and
day, making from two to a dozen
speeches a day, until he had visited
every county in the state His cam
pa1gn was on national issues. on the
tariff, on protection. and eloquently
and passionately did he, defend his
principle.
