classic and which is as follows:
civilian Mckinley is dead and the
nation weeps at his grave. He died
In the zenith Of his glory and the
MONDAY of his fame: at the time of
his death he was the central figure
of civilization: among the heads of
the great nations Of the world he
was the dominant spirit; he was the
brightest star in the constellation Of
statesmen In the council chamber Of
nations; he was the moderator and
head; his will vas supreme and his
power was exercised only in the in

humanity.
"His memorable words uttered in
his last public address in Buffalo In
which he said, Let us ever remember
that our interest is in concord and not
In conflict; that our real eminence

the ages and future generations will

greatest mind Of the century. He
solved more difficult problems with
fewer mistakes than any Of his pred

al antagonisms and allayed stronger
p~rejudices than any man In public

His death was as beautiful as the
messages Of love he left to his be
