1t is noted as a significant feature
Of the showing that the middle ives

4 Large Gathering at Warrington 70 Pay
. Last Pebble Tribute 10 the Mar
tyred President.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE sons and
daughters Of the late President Nc
Kinley's native state Of Ohio who are
now residents Of Washington paid
last public tribute to the memory Of
their dead congressman, governor
and president in q largely attended
meeting at Chase's opera house. The
gathering was held under the auspices
Of the Ohio Republican association
but was not confined to Ohioans.
About 5000 persons were present.

livered the invocation and addresses
were made by Rev. Frank M. Bristol,
pastor Of the Metropolitan church,
which the president attended while
in Washington, Judge Thomas H.
Anderson, Hon. Alphonso Hart, Hon,
D. K. Watson and Simon Wolf, Of
Washington. The speeches were full
Of expressions Of love and honor for
the memory Of Mr.. Mckinley and
dwelt on the virtues and qualities
which had endeared him to the peo-
pie. Several Of the speakers took oc-
casion to denounce the anarchists in
unmeasured terms md advised that
drastic measures be taken against
them.
An interesting feature Of the meet
ing was the reading Of a letter from
DR.. M. D. Mann, one of the presi-
dents physicians, to Mr.. Sullivan, the
secretary of the association. 1t was
as follows: "As President Mckinley
was dying I stood behind a screen
in his room and heard him say his
last words. His wife came into the
room and he said to her: 'Good-by,
all, good-by. 1t is Gods way. His
will be done, not ours. Ihere was
some further conversation with his
wife in the way Of leave-taking, but
this should not be repeated. About
an hour later he said to his wife,
Nearer, my God, to Thee, cen though
it be cross, has been my constant
prayer He tried to say something
more, bat | could not catch it. |
gave out at the time the first SEN
tence as being the most appropriate
to be remembered as his last words.
I wrote them down at the time so
that there can be no question about

There is nothing to be said OF the
Michigan elections Of Monday, viewed
as an event i'm the affairs Of the state,
that has not already been said. For
state offices for supreme justice and
regents of the university-there was no
issue. The return 10 the bench of JUS
tice Montgomery was foregone con-
clusion, and the handsome showing
which the completed returns will reveal
that he has made by comparison with
the total vote cast for the candidates for
this office may be accepted as a fitting
Endorsement Of a career which has been
distinguished for uprightness and etfici-
ency. Messrs. Fletcher and Carey, the
republican nominees for regents of the
university, did not run very far behind
Judge Montgomery and the completed
returns will probably reveal that they
are not far in the rear of the head of the
ticket. The charter elections had for
their issues local affairs, and while there
were some fierce contests there is moth
