statement in reply to the signed statement
OF Mr.. Hearst relative to the question Of

Independence League on a judiciary ticket.
Mr.. Woodruff said that Mr.. Hearst's tate
ment was unworthy of consideration by
him, because the deductions were drawn
from absolutely false premises, IA he, Mr..
Woodruff, had not made the statement
that Postmaster-General Corletyou had
urged the nomination by the Republicans
Of the Judiciary Nomination. candidates;
nor had he made the statement that he had
talked over the matter OF nominating the
judiciary ticket named by the,committee Of
lawyers with Attorney -General Mayer.
Mr.. Woodruff said that, az a matter Of
fact, Mr.. Cortelyou had not referred to the
question Of the judiciary ticket in the First
Judicial district, and that his reference to a
conversation with Acknowledgement Mayer
and others was in relation to a proposed
deal between the Republicans and the In
dependence League relative to the nomina-
ton OF candidates for Congress, Senate and
Assembly, and not the judiciary.
MIR. Woodruff was then asked; What
about Mr.. Hearst's charge that you made
a deal with Senator McCarren?' to which
he replied: 1t is not true. Thu fact is that

district had nominated six Of the eight can
didates proposed by the committee OF one
hundred, and that the other two candidates
named by the Republican convention were
not McCarren men-one Of them being a
Repu blican, Judge Aspinall-is a sufficient

Mckinley, bar one gritty Princeton

After the assassination Of President
Mckinley:
Nowhere in the history Of great mems
lives or OF great mems deaths can be found
such resignation and deep religious faith
as marked the last hours Of William
Mckinley"
He faced the other world and the other
life with the quiet confident hope Of a man
who had dom his best"
Slowly the hearts strength died out.

through many political battles, through
many long days Of toll, through many years
Of hard work and serious purpose.
He began life a simple Christian citizen.
He worked hard. He Interested himself
in his country's welfare.
He succeeded; he reached the highest
