cline the invitation to eulogize President
Mckinley
In the course of his letter Senator Hoa,
refers to the fact that he will be extreme.
ly busy during the next few weeks. bn,
If business were the only reason he wo,,ld
endeavor to overcome it. Continuing. he
says: -
But ought in frankness to state an.
other and even stronger reason. I think
the eulogy should be delivered by some
persons who were in full accord with him
upon the principal political measure of
his administration. 1 never questioned his
absolute sincerity, his devotion TO tbe
public welfare, his love of liberty and his
desire to do his duty as God gave him
power to see it,
was fully in accord with him on the
great financial measures with which he
was Identified. But. as you know, I diff
Tered from him and his administra tion
ana my opinion on that subject has heen
strengthened and not weakened in the
lapse OF time in regard to his policy in
