In tliis exciting political campaign It
ttenis remarkable tlnit so little litis
been written or said of tin? most lull-liu-.il
iViimt of the life of the Republi
can candidate for the presidency.
Wiiiii- i;U political career has been
iiiii',1. and every word that he may
have tittered ill congress or on the
Mump has been criticised and ivmi
iin i'.tcd upon, the glorious record of hiM
lour ! iitH; years of faithful service in
l ie field hull barely l.een touched upon.
Vet he was one .f the bravest of sol
ttifs in ne of the most lamous regi
ments of the fre;;t war, suid, while
ioooe.--ty may for;il It's intruding the
n i'iiaiy portion uf hi.s life on the public,
ii is, at the came time, very question
able whether he would he willing to ex
change all the political honors that he
has gained, or ilnrv thai may coino to
him in four years in the AYiiito house,
for the gli.rics that luster around the
memories of his four years of service
in the Army of the rnion.
The losrii'vnt In which the young sol
dier served, the Twenty-third Ohio In
lantry, was one of the bravest and best,
and bore upon its rolls the names of
many men who afterwards became Il
lustrious in the country's history. The
lust colonel was William S. Rosoeranffc
afterward malor general nnd command
er of the armies of the Tennessee nnd
O.paiimont of the Cumberland.
The nontenant colonel was that splen
did soldier, Stanley .Matthews, who, af
ter the war. became a senator of the
l ulled Sin tea and then eminent as a
justice of the supreme court.
The major was Rutherford B. Hayes,
afterwards brigadier general, anil then
governor of i ihio, and nineteenth presi
dent of ih? United States.
THE WAR'S BEGINNING.
When the war began Mcinley, then a
boy of is, was teaching a country
ichool. The first Run that sounded th'j
commencement of tne titanic struggle
awoke in the breast of the young
schoolmaster nil the fervor and patriot
ism that the times called forth, nnd
he was one of the very lirst to respond
to the rail of duty, enlisting as a priv
ate soldier in Company K June 11, 1SB1.
For fourteen months he carried tin
musket, attaining the rank of sergeant
April 15, lNtl2. Veal's afterwards, in re
calling this period, "Private William
.McKinley," then governor of Ohio, re
marked to some frknds: "I always look
back with pleasure upon those fourteen
months in which I served in the ranks.
They taught me a great deal. I was
but a school boy when I went into tho
army, nnd that first year was a forma
tive period of my life, during which I
learned much of men and affairs. 1
have always been glad that I entered
the service ns a private and served
those months in that capacity."
September 21, 1st!;, the sergeant was
commissioned second lieutenant of
'oii.any Five months afterwards
he became lirst lieutenant of Company
I :, and on July 25, 164. he had risen to
lie captain of Compuny (J. Kvory pro
nation was well earned. However,
no sooner had ho been commissoned
than his value as an ollieer was recog
nized, and three months after receiving
I. is lirst commission he was detailed as
aide-de-camp on the staff of General
Rutherford 11. Hayes, j-rom that time
until tile close of the war lie served
' .'iiliimaMy as a staff ollieer, being at
ni.-i ient limes on the staffs of Generals
S. Carroll, George Crook, afterwards
i he famous Indian lighter, und Winfleld
S. Hancock, the suprb ail of these
in. n famous for their fighting qualities.
He was breveted Major, on the re
commendation of General Phllln H.
Sheridan, for distinguished nnd gallant
conduct at Cedar Creek nnd Fisher's
itill.
OTHKU BATTLES.
With his regiment, or while on staff
duty, he fought In West Virginia, in the
Army of the Potomac under MeClellan,
and in the Shenandoah Valley und.T
Sheridan. He was In ail the early lights
in West Virginia, at South Mountain
ut:d Antietam, receiving his shoulder
straps one week after that Inst named
bloody battle, nnd exchanging his mus
ket for the sword. His first battle was
nt Carnbex Ferry, West Virginia, Sep
tember 10, 1SC1. Here the Ohio school
boy, his face aglow with patriotism ana
hope, his heart overdowinz with love
of country, stood elbow to elbow with
his schoolmates of yesterday, his com
rades of today, offering his young life,
as hundreds of thousands cf other
youths were doing, in defense of right,
und that the republic might not perish.
Thus, for four long years he fought in
every battle and skirmish, until the
very end, doing his whole dutv, gather
ing honors nnd adding to his fame as a
soldier, fearless and without reproach,
fighting nt Townsend's Ferry, Nov. ti

CONGRESSIONAL DRINKERS
It Is Less Common Tlian Formerly All
tlough There la Yet Room for
Reform-Old Time Soaks.
Tenn," In Philadelphia Bulletin.
The House Committee on Public
Uuildlngs has agreed to report a bill
nbolishing the sale of Intoxicating
drinks In the capitol nnd its purlieus,
so that congress may find it ditilcul to
liquor up. 'Yet It Is doubtful whetner
public men at Washington are as In
temperate as they were in former days.
I ll.id that nil the old observers In the
cspitol ngree that great as the drink
ing now is. It is small in extent com
pared to what It was before the w-r.
There is less of a demand for whisky,
nnd more discrimination In the selec
tion of wines. A member of congress
who does not touch liquor is not so apt
t.) be regarded ns a Joseph Surface as
ho waa In the time of Huclmnan a;ii
I'luce, nnd. In fact, of the administra
tions of utmost all the earlier presi
dents. A public man of high estate could not
nfford now to have such leputatlons
for conviviality nnd potations us Web
ster and Clay had without any serious
loss of popular strength. But any well
known member of congress who goes on
a debauch and shows himself In a pub
lic place under its inlluenc?.is in dan
ger of having that fuct telegraphed the
same night all over the country, and
In these times there are not muny dis
tricts in which Bueh a piece of news
would not nrou3 the honorable mem
ber's constituency and be received as
campaign material by his enemies.
The result Is that many a public man
In Washington Is more abstinent than
he would be from natural choice.
The members of congress in these
days are not nil models of sobriety; but
there are few of them that would
have the temerity to appear in the cap
itol drunk. With the exception of a
few graceless scamps, the congressmen
who are In the habit of drinking take
care to conceal the facts as much us
possible from the public; or, nt least,
not to lapse Into opon inebriety. Such
a man knows well that if he were to
indulge his weakness openly or freely,
he would find nil the newspapers,
churches and temperance societies
holding him up to ridicule and con
tempt. The public, indeed, is no longer
disposed to look upon drunkenness as
nn eccentricity of genius that must be
forgiven in a statesman.
SICKLES' ILLLUSTRATION.
General Daniel E. Sickles once de
scribed tho habit of whisky drinking as
It was practiced by members of con
gress In the days before the war. Gen
eral Sickles was a members of that
memorable congress which was In ex
istence during the last hnlf of Ruchan
nan's term. It is his belief that the
nervous excitement which excessive
tippling produced In that congress had
not a little effect In perclpitating the re
bellion. It was a congress of whisky
drinker. They drank whisky by day
and night. Scarcely a committee room
was without Its demijohns. The result
was threats, angry ppeech?s, flrhts
nil caused by whisky. "If the French
assembly," said Sickles, "were to drink
some morning one-hnlf the whisky con
sumed on nny one day by that congress
it would declnre war against Germany
in twenty minutes."
The old Whig party nnd the Demo
cratic party In the twenty years before
the war were full of the wrecks of lead
ers whom whisky had demoralized an I
broken down. Webster's potatinns were
notorious, especially in th p'-inT
years of his life. Clay wa njii:.-: ;.l
to indulgence. Stephen A. I:nt-,!.-s..t
died In the prime of his life a vh t m of
rum. It was In that school that An
drew Johnson formed the habits which
made him Biu.h a spectacle when he
had to cling to fh" marble pillars of the
capitol when he was Inaugurated as
vice-president. When the southern
tire-eaters wished to fri-jhteti a north
ern man they soaked theim-clves In
rum. Preston Hrooks, when h-u--ault-ed
Charles Sumner with a bludgeon,
had nerved himself with strong drink.
Jefferson Davis, when In the senate,
was one of the tr.OEt notorious patron
of the Washington bar-rooms. Hril
llant men of both parties, like Klchard
Yates, of Illinois: James A. MclJougall.
of California; Sargent S. Prentiss, of
Mississippi: Lawrence M. Keitt. of
South Carolina, and many others ruin
ed their intellects und shortened th dr
lives by habitual debauchery. The
proceedings of the congresses in the
ante-bellum period show that drunken
representatives were such familiar ob
jects that Jt was only when they got
into duels or pummelled one another
In the capitol that they attracted more
than ordinary attention.
