The people of Oregon feel that they have sus-
tanned personal loss in the tragic death Of
President Mckinley. 1t is a costly sacrifice to
make, but the compensation will be in the awak-
ened determination Of the American people to
proceed under impulse. born OF the great
national loss, to enact legislation which VIII

IT is with profound sorrow that have learned
OF the death of the President. The South has
lost a friend and the country q great and
good man. No President since the Civil
War has done more to destroy the feel
ing resulting from that strife and unite the
two sections in cordial friendship. He had
great faith and confidence in the masses of the
people, and 1t is dreadful to contemplate that he
should lose his life while exhibiting that conf
dence by mingling with the people His home
life was beautiful, and his devotion to his in
valid wife won for him the affectonate regard

The death Of President Mckinley is terrible
shock to every American citizen. and nowhere
is it more sincerely mourned than in Kentucky.
He was great and good man. His private life
was pure and stainless and worthy Of the emula-
ton OF any His public life, even TO those
who, like myself. differed from him in politics,
was a model of patriotism and craftsmanship.
Big hearted and broad minded he never showed
any OF that bitterness and prejudice usually
