STORIES OF MCKINLEY
As Told by His Friend and Henchman,
Marcus A. Hanna, the Boss of The
Republican Party.

As | Knew Him" published in
the February number of the
National, United States SeDa
tor Marcus A. Hanna relates
the following interesting &c.
dotes Of the life Of the late
president:
There was something sublime
in the way in which he viewed
his defeat in the tariff reform
cyclone of 1899 | often dis.
cussed the situation with him
and then We talked OF the INC.
Kinley biz" | remember how
his eyes sp arkled when it was
suggested that his bill was the
sole cause Of Republican de.
feat, and how lie deliberated a
statement to me with an air OF
prophecy:
That may have been so, but
the bill was passed so short Il
time prior to election that it
was easy for our opponents to
make charges and there was no
time for us to combat them, but
wait and see, Mark-wait and
see. The principles and poll.
cies IF that bill will yet win Il
greater victory for our party
than we have ever had before.
This misunderstanding will yet
contribute to overwhelming Re
lican success.
During the early part of the
campaign of 1896 the charge
was made that Mckinley voted
tor the free coinage of silver.
And with his usual candor be
admitted that. in the earlier
stages of the agitation of the
money question, it was to him
then proposition he had not
fully investigated; he did not
pretend to be a doctor of finance
and had followed the popular
trend Of that time. After full
er discussion and practical
demonstration of facts; observ.
ing after the changing :Cndi
tions of the country and weigh
ing the question in its various
relations to the fundamental
laws Of practical finance and
the true policy best for the
country-his conclusions were
voiced in the St. Louis plat.
form Of 1896
The last discussion | had
with him upon the money ques.
tion before he was nominated
was a few days before left
for ST. Louis at my Office in
Cleveland.
He turned to Ivy desk, sat
down and wrote in lead pencil
an article which he handed me
when finished, saying:
There, Mark, are my ideas
of what our platform should be
on the money question
earned the paper in my
pocket to st. LOUIS some days
before the convention, and
that declaration of William
Mckinley contained in sub
stance what was afterwarG
drafted into the plank in the
platform on that question,
meption this because in sub
sequent discussion a great deaI
has been said about the con
struction of that plank in the
St. Louis platform on the tariff
aud money question.

house for several days or ;

He was never much inclined
l believe, to take an active
part in athletics, though his
simple, normal ha bits of life
kept him always in excellent
condition physically and men
tally &c proved the enduring
sturdines, Of his frame by his
hard service in the civil war,
aud by the tremendous amount
of labor which he afterward
put into The study and presen.
tation of public questions. He
was. of course, interested in the
notable athletic contests that
the college boys held, but it
was.as late as 1894 that he aud |
witnessed together our first
game Of fOotball-a Princeton.
Yale game at New York.
1t was Il drizziing cold day,
but he watched every move
ment of the game from the club
house with as keen an interest
as he gave TO a debate in con
gress.
When some mysterious move
ment in pile up" was made
he would turn and ask about it,
but | had to shake my head and
confess it was my first game
and that it was all Greek to
me.
He told me how he felt like
the country boy who went to a
college foot bail game for the
first time, to see the real
thing" When asked how he
liked it, the country boy naive.
ly replied:
"They didn't have no game:
they got into Il scrap and kept
dghtin' ali the time when they
ought 10 have been playing
ball"
The late president was par
ticuIarly fond of a good play and
when he would come to stay
with me at Cleveland over
night he would always in
quire:
is there anything good at
yonr opera house tonight
Marl1?"
We enjoyed many pleasant
evenings together. He delight
ed in meeting the prominent
actors, and was fond of Joseph
Jefferson. Many an hour they
chatted together, and Jefferson
never failed to call and see him
when in Washington, Sol Smith
Russell was another friend. The
drama of high standard was to
him Il relief from worrimentS of
the day, and thoroughly enjoy.
ed as a relaxation. He delight,
ed to discuss with these play
folks their art, and how actors,
like men in public life, had to
cater 10 public wishes and how
much their influence meant in
producing plays of healthful
purpose and moral teaching.
Mrs. Mckinley was also fond
of the Lheater.
A man of more generous i'm -
pulses than William Mckinley
never lived. When cases were
presented 10 him for relief tina t
were beyond his ability to meet
he would apply to me or some
of his friends for assistance in
aiding worthy persons, and his
friends were always glad to re
spond to these appeals He was
liberal without stint. 1t gave
him actual physical pain to see
any one suffering or in distress,
