So poor Abner Mckinley is paralysed!
There will be nothing but regrets now
among those who know him. But
there were times during the campaign
of 1896 when the Republican managers
would have been glad to have heard
that he was paralysed, and likely to
remain so. William Mckinley was not
the most happy in the selection of his
brothers. They were all respectable
enough, SO far as is known. but they
didn't amount to much except as taa
hroth':s of William Mex inley, ard
campaign committees always hal to
be making apologies for the fact. AMI
in Abners case there was especial
difficulty because Abner as the brother
of the Republican candidate for Pres
dent, took himself so seriously.
