Kinley had taken in cementing the
friendship between the English and
American nations. He referred to MANY
instances in which this bond of SYM
pathy was displayed, particularly in
the press of Great Britain at the time
of the Spanish war, in which England
threatened to take Americas part in
case OF Il combine of the European
powers. The incident at Manila. where
an English ship captain had informed
the commander of German war YES
sci of his intention to stand by Dewey
was also given as an instance of this
feeling. Referring to this phase of
McKinley's career, Mr.. Fitch said in
part:
"One of the greatest, though per
haps the most unnoticed achievement
of the administration of the late Presf-
dent Mckinley is the marvellous and
potential fact that under his admins
tration the entente cordiale has been
thoroughly restored between the two
great English-speaking nations of the
world The great branches of the
Anglo-Saxon race have been welded
under his wise administration.
Cecil Brown also seconded the reso-
luton of Mechanism, saying in part
as he did SO:
"A citizen of the United States. and
made so by the act of President Nc
AAAlLASS NASH ne SlSueu the organic act
and extended the laws OF the United
States over this country, I wish also
to be placed on record as seconding the
resolution"
t. NJ. Harrison also spoke very brief
~. He said in substance:
I may state. your honors, perhaps.
as the only British subject that has
practiced before this court, that the
placing of the flags at half mast the
Of IDT-nc
the closing of public offices and the
court going into mourning, is as great
an expression of sympathy as the Brit
ish people could possibly give. They
have in every way been overwhelmed
and Mortified by this terrible act
Upon the close of the remarks of at
torneys, Justice Galbraith adjourned
court until this morning, paying as he
did so, an eloquent tribute to McKin-
ley, characterizing him as a truer type
of American citizen even than George
Washington. The court said in part:
Il will say on behalf of the court in
response to the suggestion of the At
torney General and the resolution pre-
scented by Mr.. McClanahan, that the
members of this court, with our fell
low citizens here and elsewhere have
been deeply moved by the horrible
tragedy which has placed the civilized
world in mourning.
Aside from the exalted position oc-
cupied by William Mckinley, the most
distinguished in all the world, and his
marked ability as a soldier and states
man and leader of men and move
ments, it is the private virtues of the
man that now appeal most strongly
to his fellow countrymen, and bow
down the hearts of the American peo-
pie with unspeakable sorrow. Love
of home and of our institutions, our
country and our flag We're the leading
thoughts in so many of his patriotic
public addresses.
Personally, L believe that William
Mckinley was a more typical Ameri-
can citizen than George washington,
and I entertain this belief with all due
respect to the Father of our Country.
He was as gentle as a woman, Sympa-
thetic as a child, but he was strong in
all the manly virtues. Let as hope
that after lifes ftful fever he sleeps
well.
The court is in sympathy with the
resolutions and will order them spread
on the record of this court, and the
clerk will send forward a certified
copy to Mrs. Mckinley, and out of re-
spect to the memory, as we hope, of
the last of our martyred Presidents,
this court will stand adjourned until
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. 1t
