Judge A. L. Morrison was visibly
moved as with words which burned
with eloquence he paid a tribute tt
William Mckinley, a personal friend
of his whom he loved as brother. He
said that it was inexpressibly sad thai
within So years three of the mobiles,
presidents have been assassinated
With fierce indignation he denounced
the deed of the assassin who struck
down the president under circun1-
stances even more aggravating thar
the murder of Lincoln and of Garfield
Then with tender voice and words he
told of the great loneliness of the frai
woman at Canton to whom Mckinley
had been everything and to whom only
death can bring sufficient solace. In
conclusion he urged that congress as
well as state and territorial legisla-
the doctrine of anarchy and it's ad-
vocates in the United States.
Col. J. Francisco Chaves, who is los
ing none of his eloquence with years,
spoke in Spanish. He drew picture
of the character of the martyred pres
ident that appealed to all those who
heard him. He dwelt especially upon
the presidents great unselfishness and
illustrated this characteristic by an
incident which had come under his
own notice at the convention which
nominated Benjamin Harrison for
president and in which President Nc
Kinley worked for the nomination of
John Sherman for the presidency.
There was a moment when a delegate
cried out that he nominates William
Mckinley for the presidency and but
for the prompt action of the latter the
convention would have been stamped
ed for William Mckinley at that time.
The late presidents loyalty to friends
and the beautiful traits of his home
life were pictured in fitting and elo-
quent words.
Judge John r. McFie referred in ap-
propriate terms to President Mckinley
as a soldier who had been promoted
from a private in the ranks, for brav-
cry on the field of battle, and became
the nations ommander-in-chief who
brought to a successful conclusion the
war with Spain. He described that
great Thanksgiving service at Cleve-
land, O., in whiclr 10000 people lifted
| their voices in thanks because they
thought President Mckinley would re-
cover. The bullet that pierced McKin-
ley pierced the hearts of the nation.
He showed how the life of President
Mckinley exemplified the motto of the
Grand Army Of the Republic, of which
he was member: Fraternity, Chari-
ty and Loyalty" 1t is hard to realize
that the manly, inspiring face into
which Judge McFie looked upon his
last visit to Washington is now cold in
death. Judge McFie then showed that
anarchy means destruction and that
when congress after it's next session
and the other parliaments of the world
adjourn there should be no place of
refuge for anarchists this side of hell.
In conclusion he pointed out that the
great deeds which were accomplished
by President Mckinley, the fact that
he raised the nation from a second
rate power to a first class power, res
cued it from its financial difficulties
and made 1t the most prosperous ma
ton on the face of the globe, were the
work of McKinley's God; that the as
sassination Of three of the best presi-
dents of the United States showed that
the life of the nation is not dependent
upon the life of any person, for it is
being governed by Providence to whom
is due the fact that Christian presi-
dent has succeeded a Christian presi-
dent who is dead.
Hon. j. D. Sena briefly paid loving
tribute to the martyred president. He
reviewed the days Of anxiety from the
day that the president was shot until
the night that death called him hence.
He voiced the general indignation felt
against the wretch who struck down
the president in the prime of his life
and usefulness. Mckinley has pass
ed away, but he has left US an i'm
perishable memory which will last
with every faithful American heart
until it's last breath. His life was
worth following, 1t was full not only
of those public virtues and talents
which make a great man, but also
those domestic virtues which every
man admires and follows. To Nc
Kinley there was nothing more sacred
than his mother and wife," Mr.. Sena
spoke in Spanish.
Judge N. B. Laughlin being Ill did
not deliver the address for which he
was upon the program. In conclusion,
aged Rev Father J. L. Gay pronounced
the benediction and the memorial service
at Santa Fe in the memory Of President
Mckinley had passed into history.
In addition to "Abide with Me-"
Lead Kindly Light" Nearer My God
to Thee" America and the "Battle
Hymn Of the Republic" were sung, the
