" The determination of th G . b litcs to get Governor Taylor and Mr. Finley' into iht-ir elutch.-s at all hazards U shown In a wt !!-b tlr.ed report that before the m.a Vho called on th- Cjvanor yesterday came to Indianapolis they had a conference with a. prominent Indiana politician in a city ri"t far frm h' re. an-l during the talk the. f.entutkian.s asked th Ir.diarvi man if tie thought It would I)-? sife to attempt t nfluTice Governor Dai bin with money. The response Is said to have Lwn suihcb-ntly Jfhnlte to cau-e an entire abandonment of the idea. A well-known local man Rave some interesting" views on the visit of. the Kentucky party to Governor Durbin. "The end in view in presenting- requisition pare re at this tirn," 5aid I hi man, "is to help the Taggart-Maguire- machine in the r re-en t municipal campaign.

Weaver has nv-wle former Director of the Rourd of Public Work.- Charles Grainrtr his residuary legatee, just as -Mayor Tagpart has done with Charles Mjguire. of the local Roard "of IniMic Works. Toe "Wcaver-Grainge-r machine of Louisville Is hand-ln-glove with the Coebel-Beckham machine. Conferences have lately been held at French Lick between representatives of the Tacsart machine and of the Weaver machine, and it was mutually agreed to force Governor Durbin's hand at the present time, If posqM by presenting requisition papers for Messrs. Taylor and Finley. with the hop.- that in the event of (lovcrnnr Durbin refusing- to honor th-rn the reaction wouM benefit the TagffartMaguire campaign." SOURCE OF INFORMATION. The probable source of Governor Durbin's information of a purpose to kidnap Messrs. Taylor and Finley was learred List night. It was found that during the latter part of March a letter was retched in this city from the chief of one o( the Kreat detective bureaus of the country, in which he declared that ho possessed positive information that the notorious John T. Norris was engaged in a plot to kidnap Taylor and Finley in order to secure the reward offered for them. The reply to this letter, which was seen by the Journal representative, said: "If John T. Norris comes to Indianapolis ami undertakes to work any s:uch scheme as that, he will be promptly put where he can do no harm. We in Indianapolis have little use for John T. Norris. We know him too well." Governor Durbin declined to discuss the requisition matter, but from a man who professes to know a great deal about the chief executive's opinions on this and othr questions it was learned that the Kentu?kians need have little hope of Fecurin ? . tomorrow the kind of a response they want from Governor Durbin. It was recalled yesterday that during Odd Fellows' week Past Grand Sire Durham, of Kentucky, called on Governor Durbin, at the State house, and intormed him that the Coebelites were preparing to make another effort to secure tne extradition of Governor Taylor and Mr. Finley. Mr. Durham is exceedingly friendly disposed towards the so-called Kentucky refugees and on the occasion of his visit to the Governor declared that it would b-j a great mistake to honor a requisition for their return to- Kentucky. Another interesting fact Is that the Indiana politician, who is now said to have- been Founded as to the wisdom of attempting to bribi the Governor was here Old Fellows' week and bad a. great deal to .say about the easo of Messrs. Taylor and Finley. Jle proiYssed to be a partisan of the Kentucky "refiiKees." . Considerable mystery - surrounds the presence of Mr. Millis, of Cincinnati, it: this city, with Messrs. ejoebl and Williams. Mr. Millis is said to be connected with the Methodist Book Concern in Cincinnati, and explained his visit to Indianapolis by payinr? that he was a personal friend of Governor Goebel. A State official sniffed contemptuously w hen ho heird- of .tills explanation and ejaculated. "Well, ho ought to be In belter business than this." Mr. Williams, who brought the requisition papers from Frankfort. Ky.. Is the town marshal of that place. , . , FOItMF.K ATTIJ.MPT HP.CAI.I.EI).

Governor Mount Listened to the Same Story n. Ynr Ao. Tho thorough acquaintance with the oe.el trairedy and subsequent events in Kentucky's recent history displayed by Governor Durbin in his conference yesterday with tho Kentuckians, who came after Taylor and Finley, has recalled that tho h- te Governor Mount was quite as well equipped -when Sheriff Suter, Justus Goebel and Lawyer T. C. Campbell swooped down upon him Wednesday, June 13, TooO, armed with requisitions for the Kentucky "refugees." Tho assurances given Governor Durbin yesterday that Messrs. Taylor and Finley would now be given fair trials in Kentucky recall tho further fact that Governor Mount listened to the same siren song, and gave back as forcible an answer a3 Stata officials believe Governor Durbin will utter to-morrow when Town Marshal Williams, of Frankfort, Ky., calls at the Statehouso to learn the fate of the latest requisitions lsrued by Governor Reckham. ' Governor Mount sat in tho executive parlor the whole of the Wednesday afternoon already mentioned and listened to the impassioned pleas of Justus Goebel, a brother of tho late William Goebel, and the insinuating arguments of "Tom" Campbell, of Cincinnati. At V) o'clock the same night Governor Mount prepared and mailed to Governor Reckham the stinging refusal to honor the requisitions for Taylor and FlnJoy that , brought him words of warmest praise from all over the country. The Governor reviewed tho history of Goebelism, quoted a Courier-Journal editorial which declared that the "infamous Goebel election bill" could not be passed, and then showed that this prophecy failed, after which the late Governor recounted the well-known WEATHER FORECAST.

fiction of the Kentucky .'L gislaturr by; which Mr. Taylor w:is nbbd cf t'ue nf.u e to whicn l;e "had b t n ov-rvh.-lmingly eUcted. Governor Mount disposed of the honeyed promise that Messrs. Taylor and Finley would te given fair trials in Kentucky thus: RFPLY TO CAMPI3KLL. "Mr. Campbell, who has charge of the prosecution of this case, was a.-ked to-day when the indictment v. as found against Mr. Taylor, and answered 'June the 11th,' but the indictment shows on its face that it was returned April ho Mr. Taylor inquired of the commonwealth attorney if an indictment had Wen re-turned against him, which Information was denied him. This is certainly a violation of the spirit of the criminal code of your State, which does not savor of an hor.eU purpose to deal justly with the accused. "Another phase of the question that deserves to be challenged is the action of the General: Assembly in setting aside the enormous j-um of )V as a reward for the conviction of persons suspect d of having Wen concerned in the killing of Mr. Goebl. That of itself i.-. accepted by all right-thinking people as a templing invitation for the propagation of whobsule perjury and a premium on moral and physical assassination. The. effect of this proposition to generously expand the people's money for the purpose of wreaking vengeance begotten of partisan rancor canriot be otherwise than demoralizing to subvert justice, to avarice and jeopardize the liberty and life of every man who may happen to be chosen as a victim of mercenary testimony. "In the fearless exercise of an established right, and in the performance of a conscientious duty, I must refuse to honor your requisition. A demand upon this othee under the circumstances to which I have briefly referred is monstrous. It finds no parallel In the history of executive practice in the United States. The honoring of this demand and the return of Governor Taylor Into the custody of men who, blind to reason, have ignored civil rights, and into environments where rapacious hate dominates, would be assuming a responsibility from the gravity of which I shrink. If conviction should follow and the fact be made manifest that the court was a mockery of justice. It would fan into flames the smoldering embers in your State. "The time is opportune to exercise a spirit of justice, of conciliation and moderation. Twelve indictments have been returned against men charged with complicity in this murder. The public would have more faith in the sincerity of these indictments if the accused were given fpeedy trial. "Until those already in prison have been accorded a fair trial, thus demonstrating the possibility tf securing justice in your courts, I cannot honor your requisition. When the time shall come that I can feel assured that a fair trial will be accorded Mr. Taylor, and not until then, will I honor-a requisition for his return." DIFFERENT PROCEDURE. Superintendent of Police Quigley recalled yesterday that a very different mode of procedure was adopted by Messrs. Suter, Justus Goebel and Campbell when they came to present requisitions for Taylor and Finley to Governor Mount than was adopted yesterday by Messr. Arthur Goebel, Williams and Millis when they visited Governor Durbin on a similar mission. Mr. Quigley said tho Kentuckian3 that came to Indianapolis a year ago after Taylor and Finley called at the local police station as soon as they struck the town and asked that detectives be detailed to shadow the "refugees." declaring that they would undoubtedly flee the State it' they learned of the requisition papers being" out against

them. Mr. Quigley teared that 'Governor Mount might honor the requisitions and that he (the police superintendent) might be held responsible if the men escaped, and accordingly he sent after Mr. Finley and asked him to remain at headquarters until the Governor announced his decision. Ar. soon as Patrolman Kurtz came from the I'enison Hotel at 10 o'clock at night with the word that the requisitions had been refused, Mr. Quigley told Mr. Finley he was at liberty to go whenever he. pleased, and the ex-secretary of state of Kentucky thanked the superintendent for the courteous treatment he had accorded him. Jn the meantime Governor Taylor was in the lobby of the Denlson Hotel surrounded by a host of friends, who vowed that no harm should come to him. Mini e ii loitive -Denial. RICHMOND, Ind., Sept. 2S. The report that State Senator C. C. liinkley, of this city, was approached by GoeWlite emissaries with a view to finding out if Governor Durbin could be briWd or otherwise influenced, is denied by Senator liinkley. Except to enter a positive, denial, Mr. liinkley did not care to discuss the subject. COULD NOT OBEY. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) from off Cienfuegos before the arrival there of tho flying squadron, and he replied: "IJeing on the spot and knowing the conditions of the cul-de-sac at Cienfuegos, I considered that it might uselessly sacriiico the Eagle, a small ship. She would have no escape from the funnel in which siie would have been obliged to remain. In addition, I felt that she would have been overpowered by two Spanish gunboats which I knew" to bo in the harbor, from Cuban intelligence." In reply to questions by Mr. Hanna. Captain McCalla said that the memorandum prepared by himself and quoted by Admiral Sampson in his report of Aug. o, Imjs. as having been placed In possession of Admiral Schley, contained all the information, except the secret code, which he possessed concerning the insurgents when he arrived at Key West on May 10. Mr. Jlanna stated that his purpose in eliciting this information was to develop the fact that the memorandum was in the hands of Commodore Schley in time for him to have acted upon it before leaving Cienfuegos for Santiago. The court asked the following questions of the witness: "What was the state of the sea between May 4 ami May 20, w hen the squadron was steaming to Santiago from Cienfuegos?:' "To the best of my recollection, it grew rough during the night of the 21th. We had. so far as I remember, rain and thick weather. Next day we had thick and rough weather and a moderately heavy c. The weather was clear on the 2.th. So far as I remember, by noon of the rith it was fair weather. The sea moderated from the 2ötii right on. until it became quite calm on the night of the 2'.th." "Was the Marblehead in condition for any service that might be required of her on May 31?" "She was in condition for any service that might have been required of her beyond the fact thac she had not been in dock for nearly a year." "Did you on any occasion see the large vessels of the blockading force at or mar daybreak between the iSth and 21st day of May?" "I saw them everj- morning. I could sco them at night, too, because there was some moonlight." "How far were they from the Marblehead. and how far was she from the entrance of Santiago?" "I judge we were two miles Inside the large ships. We steamed up ami down. Sometimes we were nearer the entrance than at others. I judge we were certainly two miles and perhaps three miles inside the large ships." "Were you familiar with the coast In the vicinity of Cape Cruz?" "I knew the whole coast pretty well, and I had a Cuban pilot, who came from the Argonauta, the tirt prize, who ran between Ratabano and Santiago fur a number of years." FOUND SCHLEY ON MAY 10. Lieutenant Commander W. II. II. Southerland, who commanded the converted yacht Eagle during the Spanish war, followed Captain McCalla on the witness stand. He said that he had first fallen in with the flying squadron on May 1., when the squadron was steaming toward Cienfuegos, and Captain McCalla's subsquadron was on Us way from Cienfuegos to Key West. He had then, under Captain MeCalla's orders, undertaken to communicate to Commodore Schley his information concerning the situation at Cienfuegos, and had given this information to the Scorpion for the commodore, his message being as follows: "We left Cienfuegos on the night of the loth, at which time, as we learned fron insurgents, the only vessels inside the harbor were two gunboats and several eannonieros." Commander Soathcrland also told of Ids return to Cienfuegos on May 2-i, and of accompanying the Marblehead to shore for the purjKse of communicating with the insurgents. He also related that in returning. Captain McCalla sent him at full spted in advance of the Marblehead to notify the commander of the squadron that Cervera's fleet was not insidt the harbor at th.t point, and had not been there. He had. he said, delivered this information about :i o'clock. At this point the court took a rcctss for luncheon. When the court reconvened for the afternoon session Captüir L inly read the agreeaieiit between hihudl and counsel fur Ad

miral Schley as to the portion of the lcg3 of certain vessel.? to be printed. The j.j.l-e advocate then broazht In Lieut. C II. Rarnes. oiphtr t Xpert of the Nvy Departmtnt. for the purpose of explaining th discrepancies between the dispatch Cu Admiral Sehlev, saving he "could nut. much to . his regret, obey the orders of the department." as it was prepared by the admiral and as printed by the department. Mr. Raynor objected to the calling of the witness while Commander Southerlaml s testimony was incomplete. He also said he did not consider the variations in the mspiteh afCimrortnnt. Captain Lemly and. Mr. Hanna contended that the matter. was of grave importance and that there were prcce.br.ts in both courts-martial and courts of inquiry for the course. Mr. ilantia asked Mr. JUvnor's purpose in making his objection to prevent the truth from being brought out. Mr. Raynor declared that such was not his intention. "I desire to state," said .Mr. Hanna. "that coun-el has stated upon the record. 'This is an important matter and the government ought to account for it. and instead of permitting it to go on. as he should have done, counsel has interposed objection, as he has lone many times in regard to this trial. He has taken more time to discuss and di.-pe.se of rjuestions than the matter itself would have required." Mr. Raynor I am very tired of that suggestion. Mr. Hanna I am really very tired-of making it. I hope the occasion will not occur again. The court decided that on account of the

rbjeetion Mr. Rarnes should withdraw. He did so. and Commander Southerland j was then recalled. j THE EAGLE'S CRUISE. Describing the cruise from Cienfuegos to Santiago Commander Southerland said that from midnight of May 21, to the afternoon of the 25th, the Eagle had made very bad weather. This was due to the fact thatMhe sea had a long "roll,", which was very trying to the yacht, as the vessel was then one-third full of water. "A little after 1 o'clock of the 26th, when about twenty-five miles from Santiago." he said. "I was caled alongside the flagship and the commodore directed me to go to Port Antonio for coal and to report rough weather south of Cuba. My answer substantially was that I already had thre-e days' coal, as much as the Marblehead, meaning as much In proportion. The commodore told me that 1 had not coal enough tor his purpose, and directed me to carry out his orders. 1 then asked him again very earnestly to let the Eagle remain with the fleet, and coal from the collier. He very courteously replied to me that he either 'very much regretted' or else wa3 'very sorry' he could not let me do so, the Eagle had not coal enough for his purpose "nd again directed me to proceed, which I did after communicating with the division command; r." "How much coal did the Eagle have?" "Not less than twenty-seven tons." "Of course the Merrimac was with the squadron, was she not?" "She was." "State the wind and whether practicable for the Eagle to go alongside tho Merrimac to take coal." "Without any doubt." "Why didn't you do this?" "It was not in my power, as I had no authority." Mr. Raynor questioned Commander Southerland concerning his megaphone message to the Scorpion on May 10, and displayed the log book of that vessel to show that while other facts were mentioned as having been megaphoned by the Eagle there was no mention of the fact that Commander Southerland had said anything about the conditions at Cienfuegos. The witness said in reply to a question that his own log made no mention of his message. "It was evidently," he said, "a U'icstion of whether the young ofticer on deck at that time put down my exact words." THE CIPHER EXPERT. Commander Southerland was then excused and Lieutenant liarnes was again called. Lieutenant Rarnes identified tho cipher copy book of the auxiliary cruiser Harvard, w hich vessel during the war was under command of Captain (now admiral) Cotton. This was the vessel which carried Admiral Schley's dispatch to Kingston, to be there transmitted by cable to Washington. Lieutenant Barnes said he was familiar with the department cipher code, and that last night an 1 this morning he had made a translation of the dispatch as presenteel. He then read his translation and was eiuestloned concerning1 it by Mr. Hanna, who asked: "Have you examined the duplicate of the cipher received at the department and compared it with the cipher as it appears in that press copy book?" "1 have." "Was this cipher message, as received by the department, confirmed by the telegraph company." "It was." "I will ask you whether in cipher those words as they appear in that press copybook are identically the same in cipher as those received by the department or is there any variations whatever in word or letter?" "They are identically the same In word. Three words, as I recollect it, have letters which are indistinct in one place or the other and might be mistaken, although there is no chance of mistaking the word." "Then 1 will ask you whether, according to the press copybook, that dispatch left Kingston as it was received at the department in cipher?" "It did, if this was the dispatch which was sent, of which this is a copy." "Now, with respect to certain minor variations in words here In the translation you have given and which appear, I will aslc you first, 'Have you compared the translation which you have made from cipher with this dispatch in the appendix?' " "I have not." "Why did you not do so?" "I was asked by the judge advocate not to consult any other books whatever than the secret code, and the book from which 1 took the cipher." KNOWS TIIE CODE. "You are familiar with the cipher code and handle it frequently?"' "I am; I do." "Is it a part of your duty to do so?" "It is." Mr. Hanna, holding In hand a copy of the appendix, containing the official print of the Schley dispatch, pointed out tha discrepancies between that print and the transalatlon matle by Lieutenant Earner, from the Harvard cipher book, which showed that the principal differences were as follows: The substitution of the word "heavy" for the word "helpless" in the appendix translation, and the ommission of the word "leaving" in the new translation, referring to the tleparture from Key West. The comparison also showed changes such as the omission of the word "the" and the witness explained that often in translating cipher messages the name of a country is generally added after that of a town or particular locality, in order to make the information full and specific. He also gavo this as the explanation of th3 addition of the word "leaving." saying that it was done to bring out the sense of the message. With reference to the use of the word "heavy" for "helpless" tho witness said: "Heavy and helpless are very close to each other in the cipher code. A change of .a single number at the end, which would indicate a change of a letter in a word or a mistaken letter in a word, would produce that sort of a change." Mr. Raynor then cross-examined the witness, first asking him whether he bad any knowledge that the cipher dispatch In question, is a correct translation of the dispatch that Commodore Schley gave to Captain Cotton. "I have no special knowledge that it was." the witness replied. "Now, in Admiral Schley's letter book, I want to show you an entry. The word 'confirm' occurs. Does that not mean that tho Navy Department ha3 confirmed that dispatch by comparing it with the original?" "It does not mean that to me." "What does it mean?" "I do not know who put that there." Mr. Raynor and Captain Parker closed by statin there was no intention on their part to cast any imputation on the department. The witness was excused, and at u:U) p. m. the court adjourned until Monday morning. CZ0LG0CZ A SILENT MAN. Hundred of l'ernon Ak Invitations to the Execution. AUR-URN. N. Y.. Sept. 2S. Warden Mead to-day gave out the following: "Czolgoez has eaten Iiis meals and has had no conversation with any of the other condemned men. He answered questions in regard to his meals, such as an inquiry if he would have salt, etc., which were put to him b the onVers, but aside from that he has saiJ nothing. lrt of the time yesterday he lay in his bed and the rest of the time he spent walking up and down his tell." Prison rhysiclan Gcrin visited Czolgooa ytsterday and again this morning, but found no n-ed for his services. In addition to hundreds of requests from all over the country for invitations to witness the execution. Warden Mead to-day received numerous rcquots Tor the autograph of Czolpocz. and also some from medical men for pieces of his br. in after he shall hav paid the death penalty.

READY TO BE PROBATED

AY I LI' OF PRESIDENT M'KINLEY "WILL UK EXECUTED TO-MOUHOW. Mrs. McKinley Detained in the House by Rain, but Her Condition I Not Any Worse. JUDGE DAY'S PINE TRIBUTE ELOQIEM' ADDRESS TO STARK COl.NTY 11 A RR ASSOCIATION. 3IcKinIey, tlie Lawyer, ot the Lamented President, Hit Subject Incidents ot His Career. CANTON. O., Sept. 2S. Mrs. McKinley was deprived of her customary afternoon drivo into the country to-day by inclement weather. Rain began falling soon after noon and continued into the night. She was out during the morning, however. Her condition this evening is said to be practically unchanged, but as good as could be expected. She has given considerable attention to the personal matters that Secretary Cortelyou came here to attend to. Mr. Cortelyou went to Cleveland, tonight, expecting to return to Canton tomorrow. He probably will see Colonel Myron T. llerrick and the late President's sisters, Miss Helen McKinley and Mrs. A. J. Duncan. In order to expedite the settling up of the estate the sisters will waive all formal notice of the probating of the will and the secretary will bring back the waivers so that tha will will be admitted to probate on Monday. Colonel Herrick is deeply interested in tho monument movement and with Senator Hanna is doing all possible to promote the plans. Senator Hanna is not in Cleveland, but Mr. Cortelyou had expected to see him before returning to Washington. Capt. Charles Loetlbr, doorkeeper at the White House, one of the witnesses to the will of the late l'resident McKinley, arrived to-day. He testified beford the probate judge as to the proper execution of the will as required by law of witnesses. Secretary Cortelyou, Dr. Rixey and Capt. Loelller drove to the cemetery during the day. After visiting the vault they went to the high knoll in the new part of the cemetery to view the proposed site of the McKinley memorial. They expressed themselves much pleased with the site selected by the local committee, and regard it as strikingly appropriate. About 3,5W pounds of supplies, consisting of overcoats, changes of underwear and tent supplies have arrived at the camp grounds of Company C, Jn West Lawn Cemetery. Captain Riddle is now planning barracks to be erected at the cemetery near the vault. The "Building will be LM feet long and 20 feet wide. There are two-one-story-and-a-half buildings on the plat anel these are also being use.i in connection with the camp. A hospital has been established. JLIIGE DAY'S TRIIHTE. McKinley, the Lawyer, the Subject of His Discourse. CANTON, Sept. 2S. The Rar Association of Stark County to-day adopted a comprehensive and touching memorial on President McKinley, Among those delivering eulogies was Judge Day, who in part, said: "Our thoughts to-day turn from the image of. a lamented l'resident, mourned of all mankind, loved of all people, forever secure in the history of his country's great leaders, to the young and buoyant presence which came into this community thirtyfour years ago to begin the struggle of life in his chosen profession. The world is filled with the praises of all men for his achievements at the head of one of me most eventful administrations in our history. To tho class of lawyers who discourage litigation, who act the peacemaker between neighbors and do all they can to keep clients out of court, rather than to help them in it, William McKinley belonged. "It was Major McKinley's ambition in his early years to become a lawyer, anel the widest horizon of his hopes took in, as the grand prize to be striven for, a place upon the Common Pleas bench of his district. That he would have made a good judge, no one doubts who is familiar with the strength and fairness of his mind and his intuitive sense of justice and rights so essential to success upon the bench. "The war and Its four years of service, destroying his hope of further collegiate instruction, nevertheless broadened and strengthened his character, taught him to submit to reverses, to be moderate in success, to be cool, self-reliant, watchful and courageous, qualities as essential to the lawyer as to the soldier. "When the young lawyer came to Canton he opened an ofilce in the same building with one of Canton's famous lawyers, Judge George W. lielden. "One evening Judge Pelden brought a fde of papers into .Major McKinley's office, telling him the cast would be argued the next morning, and he wished him to argue it. This was sudden, but there were somo hours before morning, and those the young advocate devoted to preparation. The next day the case was called and Major McKinley argued and won it. Judge Pehlen offered him a partnership. The offer was accepted, and from that time his position at the bar was secure. "As prosecuting attorney he never allowed private malice to control the prosecution, and made it a rule never to recommend an Indictment unless the proof warranted the belief that the accused was guilty. He soon became engaged in important civil causes. He tried a great va riety of them. He was in many or the leading cases in the country. "In a famous case of alleged malpractice he was associateel with John McSweeney and William A. Lynch for the defense. In this companionship of great lawyers he did not suffer by comparison. "At one time there was a great strike in the Massillon coal region. Riot ensued, the militia was called out. Men were arrested and brought to Canton under strong guard for trial. They appealed to Major McKinley to aid in their defense, lie investigated the case and found some of the men had been wrongfully accused of complicity in the acts of violence charged. He undertook their defense and was successful in securing an acquittal of the majority of them. Realizing their hardships, he refused all compensation for bis services. "In the trial of a case Major McKinley gained the confidence of the jury by the fairness and courtesy of his conduct. "To the court he was thorough and logical and always fair. To a jury he had the same power of epigrammatic expression which has enabled him to state party politics and political views in phrases which compass a great truth in a few plain words. "When he went into Congress in 1S77. as he often said, he found his legal experience of great benefit to him. His speech on counting a quorum In the Fifty-first Congress is the most full and complete presentation of that question made in the House. . , , , ,. "He ever believed legal training and dis cipline one of the best of preparations for success in public life. It was a common expression of his. when looking for some one to execute an important task. 'Find me the best lawyer you can and I will undertake the work.' "From the time he opened his office in Carfton until he closed his career in his tragic death his life was a continuous growth and development, u Ith steady noise he arose, equal to every occasion. and proved himself competent to the great opportunity of his career. "He never tired of repeating th inci dents of bis professional life and w hi!e he would probably never have resumed the practice of his profession, his countrymen would have insisted upon the benefit of his counsel and advice in the local affairs which are sure to crowd upon our attention in the future. "No man had greater right to hold life dearer than had William McKinley on that fatal day when he was stricken. He bad earned a plate in history seldom accorded to man. He was loved of the people, as has been truthfully said, as no other l'resident was ever loved while in oflice. He bad been tried sorely, and his patience, wisdom and courage had raised him to the highest place in the confidence of his countrymen. The great problems of his administration were in the way of sucecssiul solution. The homo he loved was to W his resting place and the friends of his youth, the companions of his retirement. The life of his dear companion had been
