i ! I i Otntinwd from iKtjxyffr. their exultation came unlioitatinply. McKinley was nominated bytheKe publicana by acclamation for tJovernor of tlie Rate. Then followed one of the most memorable campaigns ever waged in the Huckeye .Stat. Mr. Me Kinley U'gan his campaign on August 1, and for three months he traveled Diirht and day, making from two to dozen sjccvlics a ilay, until he had vis ited every county in the State. His campaign w on National issues, on the tariff, on protection, and no o quciitly and jsaxsionaUly did he defend his principle that great crowds turned out to hear him. The attention of the Nation and of the world was drawn to the State of Ohio and its campaign. NewiqT orrcpondents followed the champion of protection In his tour of the State, and filled the press of the country with descriptions of scenes novel in political campaigns. The IVmoerats contested every inch of the ground stublwrnly, but theico ple turned to McKinley as to the apos tle of the true dispensation, and wo men and children said he had made protection and tariff plain to them. In that campaign, the first general cam paign Mr. McKinley had ever made, lie was pronounced the liest vote-getter ever seen on the stump in Ohio. He won the admiration of Democrats, as he won the devotion of Republicans, and his election by a handsome major ity was gratifying to one party, with out being a source of bitterness to the rank and file of the other party. As his first term in the t Jovernor's chair drew toward its close he was renomi nated by acclamation, and after anoth er spirited campaign he was re-elected by a majority of more than 80,0ml, at that time the largest but one in the history of the State. As Governor, McKinley never forgot that he was the Chief Magistrate, not merely of the party which had elected liim, but of the whole State, and he was untiring in his efforts to secure for the whole State a wise, economical and honorable administration. These ef forts and their results are in the com pass of this t-ketch to be glanced at in only the briefest manner. He took great interest in the management of the public institutions of the State, making a siecial study of means for their lietterment, and securing many imjortant and much-needed reforms. He urged the preserving and improv ing of the canal system, and was an earnest promoter of the movement for good roads. To the juestion of tax re form he paid much attention, and re peatedly urged its importance upon the le gislature. Many questions relating to the welfare of workingmen liccame acute during his administration and were dealt with by him in a spirit of intelligent sympathy. He had already long leen known as an advocate of the vight-hour system, and of arbitration as a means of settling dispute? letween employers and employees. It was due to his initiative that the State Hoard of Arbitration Mas established in Ohio, and to its successful operation he gave fr nearly four years his close personal attention. He made various wise rec ommendations for legislation for the U-tter protection of life and limb in in dustrial pursuits, and as a result several salutary laws to such eflect were put iiImhi the statute book. When destitu tution and distress prevailed among the miners of the Hocking Valley, he acted with characteristic promptness and decision.' News that many fami lies were in danger of starving reached him at midnight Ilefore sunrise he had a carload of provision on the way to their relief. Many times during his administra tion the jK-ai-e of the State was disturb ed by unseemly outbreaks requiring the application of the restraining iow r of the Xiovernment This power Mr. McKinley exercised with signal firmness and discretion. Fifteen times it was necessary to call out the State troois for the maintenance or restora tion of order, but on no occasion was the use of them in any rt-sjiect oppres sive. During the summer of ls04 strikes ami other disturbances prevail ed, esju-cially on the chief railroad lines, and for three weeks the regi ments were on duty, acquitting them selves most creditably for the protec tion of property and enforcement of the law, without any unnecessary harshness toward ither party to the disputes. On two noteworthy occa sions desperate efforts were made by ill-advised mobs to commit the crime of lynching. Governor McKinley promptly used the military forces of the State to prevent such violence of law and dishonor to the Common wealth, and showed himself a thorough inas'er of the trying situation. A distinctive feature of the McKin ley administration was the absence of red tape and needless formality. In his method of transacting business the iovernor was concise and direct, and in his intercourse with the people, though dignified, he was always ap proachable and genial. Access was readily hid to him at all reasonable times, and no matter of actual interest ever failed to receive his courteous, prompt and iaintaking attention. VIII. VV. EM I KXTI AL CAN I '1 1 1 ATI-- It was in the natural order of things that a man tto forceful and efficient in every tried capacity should presently ! regarded as a jiossible future Presi dent of the United States. As early as IssOhewas spoken of as a coming candidate. In 1W his name was brought before the Republican Nation al Convention, though not with his authority or desire. Four years later, in ls, the Presidency lay within his reach, but he declined it on a xint of honor. He was a delegate to the Caic t Convention from O'.iio, pledg i to support the candidacy of his friend, Senator Sherman. After several bal lots had Iteen taken, however, it le ee.me evident that the veteran states man from hio was not to lie the Con vention's choice. His friends support-i-d him loyally, but were in a hojieless minority, and were unable to rally others to their standard. So some of them liegan to cast about for another c mdidate to whom they could transfer t'icir votes with U-tter trosiect8 of suc cess. Their choice quickly fell upon McKinley. From the first, two dele gates had lieen voting persisteutly for him, although he had not, of course, U-en formally placed in nomination. Now the number of his supporters rose to fourteen. All the Republican Con gnwincn at Washington telegraphed to the Convention urging his nomina tion. The air became electric with premonitions of a stampede. He had listened to the announcement of the two votes for him on each ballot with mingled annoyance and amusement Rut now the case was growing serious. The next ballot might give him a ma jority of the whole Convention. He had only to sit rtill and the ripe fruit would drop into his hands. He bad only to utter an equivocal protest and the result would I the same. Rut there was nothing equivocal aliout William McKinley. On one side was his personal honor; on the other side the Presidency of the I'nited States. Iu choosing between the two hesitation wits impossible. He sprang to his feet with an expression upon his face and an accent in his voice that thrilled the vast assembly, but hushed it mute and silent as the grave while he spoke : I am here as one of the chosen re resentatives of mv State. I am here by resolution of the Republican State Convention, passed without a dissent ing vote, commanding me to cast my vote for Johu Sherman for President and to use every worthy endeavor for his nomination. I accepted the trust liecause my heart and my judgment were in accord with the letter and spi rit and purpose of that resolution. It lias pleased certain delegates to cast their vote for me for President I am not insensible to the honor they would do me, but in the presence of the duty resting upon me, 1 cannot remain i- lent with honor. I cannot consistently with the wish of the State whose credentials I liear and which has trusted me; I cannot with honorable fidelity to John Sher man; I cannot, consistently with my own views of personal integrity, con sent, or seem to consent, to permit my name to be used as a candidate liefore this convention. I would not reflect myself if I should find it in my heart to"do so, or permit to lie done that which would ever be ground for any one to suspect that I wavered in my loyalty to Ohio or my devotion to the chief of her choice and the chief of mine. I do not request, I demand that no delegate who would not cast retlee tion upon me shall eat a ballot for me. That ended it There was no stam pede. McKinley was the Iiero of the hour, and his heroism prevailed. The nomination was not forced upon him, neither could he secure it for Mr. Sher man, though he loyally strove to do so to the end. But no man ever walked out of a National Convention with higher honors upon him than those he liore that day. Another similar incident occurred in ISOi Mr. McKinley was the presid ing officer. He was pledged in honor to the support of President Harrison for rcnomination. Rut the party boss es sought to defeat such rcnomination, and sought to do so by stampeding the convention for McKinley himself. No less thau 1S2 votes were cast for him, against his earnest protest. When the vote of Ohio was announced, "44 for McKinley," he himself from the chair challenged its correctness. The reply was made that he was not then a mem ler of the delegation, his' alternate taking his place when he was elected to the chair. Thereupon Mr. McKinley called another man to the chair and took his place upon the floor, checked the incipient stamede, and moved that the rcnomination of Harrison lie made unanimous. "Your turn will come iu 1SW!" shouted his supporters, and that prophecy has been fulfilled. Ihiy by day, ever since the political upheaval of 1M2, it became more and more evident that he would not only be "the logical candidate" of his party, but also the people's choice. The very same party bosses who supported him in lsf2 in their spiteful effort to defeat the President who had resisted their demands now leagued themselves against him and assailed him with all manner of calumny. Their detestable venture was in vain. The people were for him with such enthusiasm and unanimity as had not been seen for a quarter of a century, and many weeks liefore the meeting of the St Iuis Convention the outcome of the contest was unmistakably clear to all but those who wilfully refused to see. IX. Til K TIM lil NK OK TIIK I'Kol'I.K. Few men of this or any other gener ation have been so much liefore the people as speakers on topics of general interest and as leaders of thought and action as William McKinley. Of his earlier speeehmaking we have already made mention. In Congress he was a frequent sjeaker on many topics, al ways commanding the attention of audiences and holding his ground in delwte. On the public platform he has lieen heard on more occasions, on a greater variety of topics, and by more people, probably, than any other public man of the time. A volume of his addresses only a few of them published some y-ars ago, is a bulky work, fairly encyelojiedic in the range of its contents. When the people "voted for a change" in Is!) and returned on over whelming iK'inocratic majority to Con gress, Mr. McKinley was one of the few leaders who were not cast down nor dismayed. He was for the first time jiersonally defeated in his cam paign for re-election to Congress, and he realized that the defeat of the party was largely due to misconception and jicrverse misinterpretation of the policy he had advocated and the law he had framed. Rut he never faltered nor wavered for a moment In the hour of disaster he was as serene and hope ful as iu the hour of triumph. "This is a momentary madness," he said. "Re patient It will pass." Then, with indomitable will and al most suicrhuman strength, he gave himself to the work of reconquering success for his party and for his princi ples. His speeehmaking in his two camiuiigns for the Ohio Governorship marked an eioch in American politi cal controversy. Nor were his ener gies confined to his own State. De mands for him came from all over the Union, and so far as i: was physi cally possible it would have been physically impossible for niost men he resjotided. In the Congressional campaign of 1"4 he agreed to make forty-six speeches. As a matter of fact, he made three hundred and seventy one. He was carried by special trains to nearly every State east of the Mis souri River, and into the South; for more than eight weeks he made on an average seven speeches a day of from ten minutes to au hour in length. It was estimated that more than two million people heard him in that campaign, and that many times that number cheered him as he passed through the country on fast special trains and as he was driving through the streets of the city. No man ever undertook such a campaign before, and there are few who could have end ured the physical and intellectual fatigue of the work put upon him. Rut neither in mind nor body did he show a sign of weariness until the campaign was ended and the victory won. If the defeat of 181" had been his defeat, the immeasurably greater triumph of l.i4 was still more his triumph. His words on protection in ls94 we have already recalled. Iet us also re peat some other of his utterances on comparably weighty themes. In the Ohio campaign of ItfJl his Democratic opponent for the Governorship, Mr. Campbell, running on a platform which declared for "free and unlimited coinage of silver," declared himself "willing to chance it on free silver." To this McKinley replied, in his open ing speech of the campaign at Niles, on August 2, as follows: I am not willing to "chance" it We cannot gamble with anythingso sacred ' as money, which is the standard and' measure of values! I can imagine nothing which would bo more disturb ing to our credit and more ruinous to our commercial and financial nffairs than to make this the dumping-ground of the world's silver. The. silver pro ducer might lie benefited, but the silver user, never. The people know that if we had two yardsticks, one three fret iu length and the other two and a half feet in length, gotnls would always be measured to the buyer by the shorter stick and the longer stick would go in to jicrmaiicnt disuse. It is exactly so with money. A 100-ceiit dollar will go out of circulation alongside an M-cent dollar, which is made a legal tender by the fiat of the Government; and no class of people will suffer so much as the wage-earners and the agriculturists. If it is the farmers you would benefit, there is one way to do it Make the bushel measure with which he measures his wheat for the buyer three iecks instead of four, and require the buyer to pay as much for three eeks as he now pays for four. 1 am in favor of the double standard, but I am not in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver in the United States until the nations of the world shall join us iu guaranteeing to silver the status which their laws now accord to gold. The double standard implies equality at a ratio, aud that equality can only lie established by the concurrent law of nations. It was the concurrent law of nations that made the double standard; it will require the concurrent law of nations to reinstate and sustain it Until then, for us to decree the free and uulimited coinage f the world's silver would tie to ordain that our silver dollars must surely de preciate, and gold inevitably go to a premium. No man knows what the future may be, but iu our present con dition, and with our present light, every consideration of safety require us to hold our present status until the other great nations hall agree to au international ratio. I do not want gold at a premium. I do not want silver at discount. 1 want both metals side by side, equal iu pur chasing power and in legal-tender quality, equal in power to perform the functions of money with which to do business and to move the commerce of the United States. To tell me that the free and unlimited coinage of silver of the world, iu the absent of coopera tion on the part of other commercial nations, will not bring gold to a premi um, is to deny all history and the weight of all financial exerieiice. The very instant that you have opened up our'mints to the silver of the world, independent of the international action, that very instant, or in a brief time at best, you have sent gold to a premium, you have put it iu great measure into disuse, and we are remitted to the single standard, that of silver aloue. We have deprived ourselves of the use of Uith meials. On the subject of arbitration of Ialor disputes also, Mr. McKinley while in Congress spoke with no uucertain sound. In lbti, when a bill for the settlement of controversies between in terstate common carriers and their employes by arbitration was before the House of liepresentatives, he said: I believe in the principle and tend ency of the bill. There is a sense of fair play among the people which, when crystallized into public judg ment, is oteut ay, more potent than statute or judicial decree. No railroad corporation, no labor union, no liody of men, could long hold out against a fair ami equitable demand, backed by a willingness to submit the justice of that demaud to a board of competent arbitrators. I Ulieve in arbitration as a principle. It represents a higher civilization than the arbitra ment of war. I believe it is iu close accord with the best thought and sen timent of mankind; I lielieve it is the true way of settling the differences be tween laoor and capital. X. THE t'.K Ml I.Y, Til K 1IOM K AN'I THE MAN". If the outward career of William McKinley, as we have briefly sketched it, is attractive, still more so are the domestic life and personal character of the man. If his public activities and achievements have leen typical of the best Americanism, his home may be taken as a typical American home. His visit to his sister, at Canton, just after the war, decided the vocation he should pursue. For another reason it was a memorable and momentous visit. During it he met one of his sister's friends, a pretty school-girl, named Ida Saxton, the daughter of James Saxton, a well-to-do banker of Canton. A mere acquaintanceship was formed, and when he went to Albany, to study law, and she to a seminary at Media, Penn., to complete her education, they tempo rarily lost sight of each other. Rut a few years later, when he returned to Canton to open his little law office, aud she came home from school,- they met again. Acquaintance rijened in to friendship, and friendship into love. It wa ambitious for a struggling law yer to seek the hand of one of the pret tiest and richest girls in the town, who was already liesieged by au army of suitors. Rut McKinley was not daunt ed by rivalry, and presently won his suit the best, as he has often said, he ever won in all his life. They were married on January 25, 171, and their domestic life has ever sin-e lieen singularly happy, despite the afflictions that have come upon them. Two daughters were Jorn to them, who both died in infancy. Since that time, Mrs. McKinley has been an invalid, and her husband's devotion to her has lieen untiring. During his administration as Governor of Ohio si e was unable to enter into the social life of the State capital to any consider able degree. She received callers, though compelled to recliue upon a couch as she did so; but was never able to return their calls. She devotes mui h attention to charities, and with her own hands makes many objects of ap parel or of oni.-tin ;nt, to b.-stiw upm the poor or to presetit as keepsakes to her friend. She is also, like her hus band, an earnest advocate of the tem perance cause. She has always taken the deejiest imaginable interest in her husband's political career, and has on more thau one occasion proven herself a wise counsellor to him. Her health is said to lie better now than for some years, aud it is not improbable that at Washington she will Ik able to preside over the social functions at the White House. If happily such shall lie the case, it may lie confidently said that the famous old mansion will never have a more charming and accom plished hostess. The McKinley home is iu the old Saxton house at Canton, in which the young couple began their housekeeping. It is a plain but commodious brick structure, standing on the principal street of the town. Mr. and Mrs. Mc Kinley are members of Lhe Broad Street Methodist Episcopal Church of Canton and when they are at home he invari able attends the morning services on Sundays, spending the evening at home with his wife, who is seldim able to go to church at alL Mr. McKin ley's mother, now eighty-four years old, but stout and hale, lives near them. His father died a few years ago. Mr. McKinley has a singularly at tractive personality. He is always cour teous and affable, but he possesses a diguity of mind and deportment that precludes any attempts at offensive familiarity. Nature has endowed him with a splendid constitution, which has never been impaired by excesses. He is not above the medium height, but has broad shoulders aud an erect ! frame, which give him a commanding : presence. His health is perfect, his uerves always steady, he sleeps well ' and he never worries, and he looks much younger than his years. His face has often been likened to that of Napoleon Bonaparte, but much more resembles that of Daniel Webster. Ho has a full, high aud broad forehead, deepeet piercing eyes of bluish gray, which look almost black beneath the heavy black eyebrows, a square and massive jaw, and clean-cut features throughout He is a delightful con versationalist, talking on many sub jects and illustrating the points he makes with apt stories or illustrations drawn from his long experience lo pub lic life and among public men. His conversation is distinguished b an absolute purity of tone, no word ever escaping his lips that he might hesitate t utter in any presence. He drinks no intoxicating liquors, but Is fond of a cigar. He is also fond of the theatre and cf music, and has almost a passion for flowers. He invariably dresses iu black, wearing a frock coat closely Lut toncd, and a silk hut He ione of the most impressive and pleasing public speakers of the day. His appearance on the platform in stantly commands attention. II is voice is a rich tenor, full aud vibrant, aud he never has to strain it or to serea u himself hoarse to make his audience hear him. He uses few gestures, and talks slowly and earnestly, in words of common use and of few syllables. How ever abstract may be the theme or ex alted his ideas, his language is always made plain to the ordinary intelligence. Many of his auditors may not agree with what he says, but not one of them Is ever for a momeut in doubt as to what the speaker means, or as to the speaker's own absolute belief in what he says. Far more than most meu of his time Mr. McKinley resembles the illustrious Lincoln in directness of action, In simplicity of character, in pure and robust nioralfibre, in sympathy with the common people, and in abiding confidence iu God. "We have," he has said, "but to lie honest with each other, true to our guiding principles, never forgetful of the interests of the masses, taking counsel of the people, whose unerring instincts see the right, and success is assured. Let us appeal to the highest judgment and reason of the people, and our appeal will not be In vaiu." Those words sound the keynote of his career, and give the best and truest explanation of his marvelous success. Adapting to himself his own tribute to a friend and comrade and predecessor iu the Presidency, it may well lie said of him that he is the very genius of common sense. He is level headed. He is with the people, never above them. He brings every question to the test of plain, every-day thought and exjierience. His mind is luminous with practical foresight Seeing so clearly what is best, he has the mora', courage to decide for the right and to trust "the safe appeal of Truth to Time.'' He is dilligeut in whatever lie under takes fervent in purpose, with all abid ing faith in the people and an un wavering trust in (rod. Such is the man whom the people delight to hon or, aud in honoring whom honor themselves and promote the bert welfare of the Fatherlaud. "Tha Christ of the Big Mnddy." "The Christ of the Big Muddy," also knowu as "Potter Christ," was a mis guided individual who preached up and down the Missouri river about 25 years, particularly in the vicinity of Council Bluffs, la He claimed to be the "Mes senger of the New Covenant" as proph esied in Malachi, see iii, 1 ; also "The Deliverer," Romans xi, 26; "Everlast ing Father," Isaiah ix, 6; the second Adam, the Lord from heaven, I Co rinthians xv, 45. Besides the above be claimed several other divine titles, among them "Shilob," "Morning Star," "Prince Michael," etc. He pub lished a book entitled "Revelations Given by Inspiration of God For the Salvation of the Whole World." I have no record of what finally became of this eccentrics individual. Some author ities list him among the "False Christ s," but none that I have consult ed tells where he was born or when and how ho died. St. Louis Republic, Orlfc-l of tba Term Card." Here is au extract from a letter of C W. Ernst: "Boston has added many words to our mother tongue. 'A card' meaning a personal statement iu news papers, is a Boston term and dates back to early times, when men paid their compliments to objectionable crown ministers by printing a 'card' iu tbe newspapers. The idea took immediate ly, and is still popular. When Robin son H Jones give their workmen a Christmas turkey each, the workmen are apt to put a 'card' in the local pa per. This odd use of the word originated in Boston before tbe Revolution. Like all Boston inventions, it is convenient and 'real cute. " Bostou Journal. Th Compliment of th Street. In a lit tie crush of trucks and wagons at Broadway aud Bleecker street the oth er day one driver said to another, of a third who had just driven by rather clumsily, "He's a farmer and a clam digger, and the next time becomes down this way I'm going to punch his head." But ferocious as these words were they were not spoken ferociously, and they were smilingly received, aud one did not understand them necessarily to mean au inordinate amouut of bloodshed, nor to contain any reflection upon the occupa tions of farming aud clam digging, but :niply to express resentment at the ap pearance iu the crowded streets as a truck driver of one skilled iu those oc cupations only.

A very young man who xnado a hit In a new play in this city called on William H.

The actor greeted him very cordially, for he had always been a very nice, modest young mau, but it was not long before tbe actor discovered that there was some thing the matter with his young friend. He held his head very high aud showed certain unmistakable signs of being caddish. It did not take the actor long to see that the boy was suffering from the affliction known as "big head," aud calling to his valet to shut the door from the out.side he proceeded to da what he considered his duty. "Look, here, my boy," said he, "you are suffering with worms. Now, don't tart Sit still till I get through. Oue hit doesn't make an actor any more than oue swallow is going to make next summer.

The reply nearly para lyzed me, I don't know but that I went up to my room and cried. The man took all the conceit cut of me, and today he is my warmest friend.

The wo man will die, but the man may reoover. He was once prominent in business here. The following extraordinary letter was found, explaining the cause of their act: "I. J.

The average distance tra versed by each member from his seat to the lobby is 240 feet, so that at the all-night sittings on the agricultural bill, when thirty-three divisions were made, each member tramped exactly a mile and a half, without counting un ollicial excursions to the smoking aud refreshment rooms. As a division usually takes twelve minutes, the house was six hours und a half on its feet that night. Marvelous Results. From a letter written by Bev. J. Gunderiiian, of Dimoiidale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: "I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the re sults were almost marvelous in the case of 1113- wife.

A friend recommended Dr. King's New Discovery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in results." Trial bottles free at J. N. Snyder's drug store, or at Brallicr's drug store, Berlin.

This kills every woim in the roots, and lower six inches of the trunk of the tree, and does not injure the tree in the least. The worms crawl out before dying. He asks those who are afraid, to try it on one or two trees and be convinced. Why is it, if catarrh is a constitutional affectum, as those claim who have a blood tonic to sell, that physicians, in extreme cases, frequently advise change of air aud climate for those sufl'ering from it? Catarrh is a climatic affection, and nothing but a local remedy or a change of climate will cure it. Ely's Cream Balm, in all eases of catarrh, is so efficient as to do 'away with the necessity of leaving home and friends, causing instaut relief and a perfect cure after short continuance. It F.
