| times, representing the people Of
Stark and the surrounding counties Of
Ohio in congress for the IA years from
| 1876 to 1890.
During that period the democrats
gerrymandered the district three
times in attempts to drive him out Of
congress, in which he was making him
self famous. The first two attempts
failed. but the last in 1890 did not. A
popular candidate was nominated BY
the democrats in the person OF ex-
Lieut.. Gov. Warwick. Mckinley was
finally defeated by the slender major
ity of 1863 votes. This defeat followed
closely after the passage of the Nc
Kinley bill, the high tariff measure to
which Maj. Mckinley had given his
name and for which he stood as spon.
sor on account of his position in con-
gress as chairman of the committee Of
ways and means and the leader of the
republican majority in the house.
Astute politicians predicted the COM
plete political extinction of Mckinley
after his defeat in 1890. Not only had
he gone down in the wreck, but his
party's majority in the lower house OF
congress had followed its leader. Tho
whole battle had been fought and lost
on the issue of the Mckinley bill. The
decision of the people was thought by
politicians and by the people them
selves to be final.
Yetthe following year he was elected
governor of Ohio, and two years later
was reelected. Almost before his term
as governor of Ohio had expired he was
nominated and elected to the highest
Office the people of this country have
within their power to bestow.
The second term of Mckinley as gov
ernor of Ohio marked the crystalliza-
ton of the sentiment Of his admirers
all over the country that he be made
the republican nominee for president
in 1896.
The startling events of his first term.
the blowing up Of the Maine, the Span
ish war and our quick and decisive vic
tory, the driving of the Spaniards out
Of Cuba and our promise to liberate
that much-abused island and place Il
among the republics Of the western
hemisphere, our annexation of Porto
Rico, the Hawaiian islands and the
Philippines, are all part Of contempo-
raneous history. When Mr.. McKin-
ley's term neared its close last year
such a deep hold had he secured upon
the affections of his party that his was

When the election day came last No

to have been reelected with the same
emphasis which the people showed
when they declared their choice Of
himthe first time. He was given 1884,
