OLD NEIGHBOR.
Tribute by Hon. josiah HartzeII.

The one local man who was on the
list of speakers, THE venerable Hon.
Josiah Hartzell-who probably knew
the president as intimately as any man
in Canton in private life, was listened
to with rapt attention. He was ap-
plauded when he arose. Tenderly he
made his first reference to the in
innate personal relations between the
departed president and the citizens of
Canton:
"Oftimes," he said, when we walk
down street Of an early morning, there
is bred in us the feeling that when we
turn the next corner we will see COM
ing toward us, with that old, warm
smile and hand outstretched, the one
to whose memory we gather here to-
night to do honor. Then our minds
instantly revert to that dark 10th Of
September, and the dastardly manner
of his taking off; how William Nc
Kinley fingered for ten days in the
valley of the shadow, and to the final,
triumphant death scene at Buffalo,"
The speaker referred to the campaign
OF '96 and the administration that the
dead statesman had given the country.
Here was president" he said, whose
deeds will require mohe pages of his
tory than all Of the years since the civil
war. We know, all OF us, that those
extraordinary territorial developments
were not the brightest fruits of Nc
Kinley's wonderful administration, but
rather that economical system that be-
came the cornerstone, the basis, of
our national thrift, and made happi-
ness and prosperity for hundreds of
thousands of families"
The speaker recalled the return of
Governor and Mrs. Mckinley" from
Columbus in 1896, and the honor shown
him at that time, as private citizen.
after more than a score of years In
public service; and the silver wedding
anniversary Of the couple, which oc-
Cured the came year.
"Hls greatness" said the speaker In
conclusion, LAY not alone in his power
of oratory and craftsmanship, but in
HE greatness and goodness OF soul
Even now we find It hard to realize
that this true heart Is stilled forever
We will not see his like again. AAll
honor to William Mckinley! Most no
Bile president, governor, congressman

not perish from our hearts!" r(Ap-
plause.)

and these honors were to fall. He Is
struggling now, with all the courage
OF his patriotic nature, with tasks and
obligations that to those who know
them well seem almost too heavy tc
be borne. Let your prayers follow
him. No name in America stands more
clearly than his for honor, manliness,
and civic Righteousness; no life more
clean, no aspirations more lofty.
II will not consume your time to-
night In a discussion Of the great
crime committed and the remedies for
preventing its recurrence. That does
not seem appropriate to the occasion.
No doubt severe laws will be enacted
against anarchy, but the real safety Of
our institutions lies deeper than all
enactments. 1t lies in our unalterable
resolution to preserve inviolate our
heritage or freedom. Does the anar-,
chist really imagine that the American
people are so base and craven that they
will yield to personal fear? Does he
dream that any man whom this great
people will choose as chief magistrate
will not willingly encounter any risk
rather than finch from his obligations
to tho republic? II the path to the ex-
ecutive mansion were strewn with
dynamite, does he fancy that any man
worthy to he chosen as the successor
of Mckinley is so faint-hearted that
he would not pursue 1t at the call Of
his fellow-citizens?
REPUBLIC IS SAFE.
Thank God, the republic cannot per-
ish! No assassin's bullet can destroy
its life, for it dwells In the loving
hearts of eighty millions of freemen.
Despite the Vaccinations of conspira-
tors, de,pite the secret silence Of afro
cious consultations and fatal Deeds
It will still move on to the accom-
plisbment of its high destiny.
But to think that this atrocious
crime was committed in the narfe OF
liberty! oh, liberty, thou richest gift
Of Providence, law loving, law abiding
liberty! We have seen thee over
thrown in other lands. by those who
were the loudest in thy praise. But
in our own free republic they
who profess to stand thy champions
may go forth to cast thee down, yet
thou art safe with us! We will main
tain thee. for we love thee, we will up
hold thee, for we reverence. From vio-
lence and every evil hand, from treach-
cry and every evil counsel alike, our
arms shall guard thee, for thou hast
thy temple in the hearts of free poo
pie, thy sanctuary in the soul Of this
republic"

of his prominent characteristics to un-
derstand how they affected his public
career.
WITH WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN
william Mckinley could hardly have
added very much to the reputation In
which he Is already secure, as one of
the great American presidents. Aside
from Washington and Lincoln, there
Is no career UP to the present time
which is certain to shine in history
with more constant luster than that
of the statesman whose remains are
laid away in the little city which has
also become historic on account of
its association with his name. Presi-
dent Mckinley was In many respects
the antipode Of President Cleveland,
who preceded him, (who will also bear
m honorable name In history, and In
many of his most admirable traits he
Was widely different from the distin-
guished gentleman who has succeeded

cused of expressing the people of the
fhlllpplnes. In like manner Lincoln
was charged with depressing the people
or the south. He was caricatured a.:
the ally of corrupt army contractors. II
was charged that Mckinley had inter.

BOTH WE'RE MAGNANIMOUS.
Both Lincoln and Mckinley had al.
ways the soft answer which turnetb
away wrath. They were patient. long
suffering, and magnanimous. Both were
characterized by disposition to over.
look all personal insults and provoca-
tions.
Another criticism of Mckinley was
that he yielded too much to pressure.
This, too, was one of the means by
which he maintained control of public
agair5. The skillful navigator in a
rapid stream will bend with the chan

CAMERON ON HANNA.
State Treasurer Isaac b. Cameron re-

He said in part: II have been called
upon to respond to the toast, Senator
Hanna whom we are all proud to re-
fer to as a product OF Columbiana
county. He was born In Lisbons' or
Scotch-Irish descent, and lived there
until tho removal of his parents to
Cleveland. He, gave the first public
recognition to organized labor when
the men employed at the coal works at
Massillon started one. He favored 1t
and has continued to do 30 and doel
now.
"For 20 years the esteem In which
he held William Mckinley had been
growing. Mckinley supplied something
that Hanna felt the need Of. He plap7-
ned the st. Louis convention carefully
was the promoter of the syndicate and
made it CO.. He is man Of deed7
and not of words, and when fight is
on he usually wins, but bears no malice
when It is over. To him wrong Ia

admirer of William Mckinley, he or

him he went into the senate. not at HE

East Liverpool, o., Jan. 30.-.The out
look for a general strike among tho
building trades in this city in April Is
promising unless the demands of the
workingmen are granted. With the
exception of one trade all other
branches are asking for an increase In
wages or a reduction of hours.
The bricklayers ask for seven and
one-half hours on Saturday, while the
stone-masons are asking for forty five
cents an hour, eight hours to day.
They are now receiving thirty-iive
cents day for nine hours. Carpenters
are asking 80 day, an increase Of
twenty-five cents day over the old
scale. Stonecutters who have been
receiving $3.50 for nine hours want -
a day. The plasterers would like an
increase from "a to $3.50 day with
nine hours. The lathers will ask fifty
cents extra, their wages now being $2.10
a day.
Some demands will be granted, but
the prices OF building materials will bo

CRITICISM THAT PRAISED.
"And in considering the characters
tics Of President Mckinley, allow me
to discuss them in the terms Of some
of the criticisms which we're made up
on him and his administration. Men
sometimes spoke of his inconsistency.
To me he seemed grandly inconsistent.
He was too largo man to have that
foolish pride which always maintains
position once taken, whether 1t be
right or wrong. Whenever he was sat
isfied either that his views were mis-
taken or that the fulfillment of them
would be against the will or the
best interests of the people, he never
hesitated to withdraw or modify them.
And God forbid that we should ever
nave u WlfOst F.Wlot w az
pear Interchangeable Is paramount to hia
desire for the best interests of the re-
public. -.
His critics used to say of him that
he had his ear to the ground to ind
out what the people wanted, and that
he tried to do the thing that was pop
ular. God forbid that We should ever
have president who has no care for
what the people desire. Our chief ex-
ecutive is not our master, but our hon.
ored servant. The same charge was
made against Lincoln, and it was just
as true in the one case as in the
other. When General Fremont pro-
claimed freedom to the negroes in
Missouri, and General Hunter In South
Carolina, Lincoln revoked the orders;
but when he found that the country
was ripe for it he issued his immortal
proclamation.
CLOSE TO THE PEOPLE.
"No one since Lincoln knew half SO
well as Mckinley what the people de-
sired. This was, I think, largely the
consequence in both cases of pro.
found sympathy with their fellow-man.
Mckinley was thoroughly human, and
he knew men as very few can know
them. He gauged men accurately both
as individuals and in the mass; for 1t
is the duty of a president to study
popular thoughts, guiding where he
