Five Minute Chats on Our Presidents V.r , By JAMES MORGAN !! * ? 1 ?=* ^ (Copyright. 19^0, by James Morgan.) WAITED HIS TURN ?> i i ! ' j 1843?January 29, William Mc- j Kinley born at Niles, O. j 1851-65?In the Civil war. 1867?Became a lawyer in Canton, O. 1869-71?Prosecuting attorney of his county. ; \ 1871- -Married Ida Saxton. 1877-91?Member of congress. ' 1892-96?Governor of Ohio. I 1893?June, McKinley nominatV ed for president by the j Republican national con- j , vention at St. Louis. No- I vember, elected. " ?. * ? * WILLIAM McKIXLEY challenged j and disproved the old saying ; that the presidency casts its shadow on no man but once and that if the chance bo missed then it will never 1 come again. Twice the Republican ! nomination seemed to be within McKinley's reach?in the national con- ; ventions of 1SSS and 1S92. Each time V??, rvn+ ?f mr-iv ti*? waif Ilis j ?V JfUV it vv-.Wk. V V- _ proper turn, when he did not have to shake the tree to brin? duwn the ripened fruit of his patience. McKinley was .beaten for the speakership by Thomas B. Reed in .1889, and he left Washington a defeated congressman only six years before he returned as president-elect. Hud he been speaker, and, instead of Reed, in curred tne title 01 "uzar, or mm not been turned out of congress . . . bad he won those smaller honors he well might never have won the highest honor. A disappointment manfully borne enlists the popular sympathy, j and the author of the McKinley bill | entered the contest for the presidcn- i tial nomination in 1S9G as one who had j suffered martyrdom in the cause of , ^ . the protective tariff. j After teaching school a term or so, I McKinley was called in the Civil war, j Ll *- rrr*o rl n O fori I XilHX liiiru > UUXVCASlLJf fticiv.IUUIV.U the men who were to lead the nation j ! > : ' ||d|| Mrs. William McKinley. . through four decades. Having gone ' i into the army as a private' in the ! J regiment cff another president-to-be? ; v -/ Rutherford B. Hayes?he came out at j twenty-two a captain, with the brevet ! title of major. . Becoming a lawyer at Canton, O., again he found himself- in the midst of industries? in their struggling infancy. And for 14 years he was the spokes- j 'V*i man in congress of that industrial j district. The young major, when he came to j Pontrin -rcn5 n olfnn-nit, rm-sfamdinsr ' figure, genial in his nature, -tout with a ; sober dignity. His readiness of speech, wjien on h^s feet, came from his practice of the art in the debating societies ! of- his school days. His habits aiso j had been properly formed in his boy- ! hood when he joined the Methodist j church at ten and grew up a youth | who was as careful to keep his tongue j as collar clean.^ I All doors in the little town natural- j % ly swung open with a welcome to j "such a nice young man," and a ma- j jor to boot. Although he was yet j poor, when Ida Saxton, the banker's j daughter, who had tiecn t<> school in j New York city and who had just come j ? back from Europe, smiled yes to him, i i while they were "taking a buggy ride" j the banker, smiled, too, and made them j a wedding gift of one of the test j houses in Canton. It was from the j front porch of that honeymoon dwell* < ing that McKinley made his campaign i for the presidency in 1800. AlCKimey s is one 01 uu* nesc?ana ; one of the most pathetic?love storie?; j In the domestic recrords of the presi- j dency. With the birth of her second i child, the wife wns loft an invalid. j j The death of both of her children with- j in five years* of.her wedding day utter- ; iy overwhelmed her nervous oriraniza- j tion, and her shattered health remain- j ed thenceforth the constant object of j her hushan "s tender < arc. Alt hung!- lie never con! i know from minute to minute when she would ; pass into a swoon, he uiad?; her his : companion on his travel*. Once when j he hurried home from eonirress, and the pliysic?nns had given ui? hope of : saving he/, his own ministrations and j his prayers through a long night at < j her bedside recalled her to life. * ? .
