cal and personal friend of the late
Walter O. Gresham and at the Chi
cago convention Of 1888 he took
charge OF his candidacy for the
presidential nomination. 1t was a
great source of regret to Fairbanks
that Gresham later changed his poll
tics and became a democrat.
In preparation for the campaign
Of 1895 Fairbanks identified himself
with the movement for the nominal
tion of Mckinley, his personal friend,
and was largely influential In organ.
izing Indiana for him. He was, in
recognition of his effective work,
chosen by Mckinley to be the tenn
porary chairman OF the national con-
vention at st. Louis and in that ca
paclty he made the keynote speech of
a campaign which turned out to be
one OF the most important in its eff
fects upon the country's Industrial
and financial conditions I'm the his
tory Of the American people.
The same election which carried
Mckinley to the White House result
ed in the choice OF a republican leg
islature In Indiana and in sending
Fairbanks to the u. S. senate. Fair
banks never took a prominent part
in the debates on the floor of the SEN
ate. He made a number of import
ant speeches but they were always
carefully prepared bafofehand and
read to the senate. Because of his
close friendship with Mckinley he
was regarded as something of
White House oracle and his remarks
were always received with close at
tention. During the troubled times
just before the Spanish war he was
in daily consultation with the presi-
dent and supported him in all OF his
policies.

"The waiter stepped back and look

face wore a very peculiar expression.
"'Oh,' he remarked with extreme
disgust, bring me a piece of pie"
