The ad. dress that attracted most attention here was that given by Judge William R. Day, former secretary of state, and A friend and adviser of McKinley for many years. The address was deliv ered In the First M. E. Church, of which Mr. McKinley was a member, and In which the public funeral was held September 19, 1901.
