The company that was formed tlicii

that it had heforc its depart lire for

half of the town followed them almost
to Youngstown in their eagerness
to keep the brave hoys in sitfht as loii_'
as possible. .
At Youngstown tlic train was hoarded

the Twenty-thlril Ohio regiment pitched
its tents, and among those who lay
under that scant shelter was William
Mclviiiley, just starting 011 the career
that has brought him such honor and
such gratitude from a whole nation.
PROMOTED ICR GALLANTRY.
MeKiidey's executive ability brought
him into notice almost immediately.
He was made commissary sergeant and
for two years was on the staff of Presl
dent Hayes, who was then in command
of the regiment.

Mnfor Hayes noticed the young man

His commission was signed "A. Lincoln."
HIS POLITICAL CAREER.
net urning home from the war, McKittlev
studied law with Judge Charles lv
! (lliildt n of Canton and at the Albany
Law school. lie was admitted to the bar
in March. 18*57. and settled in Canton,
which became ins permanent home, lie
soon attracted attention as a lawyer of
ability, and. although Stark county was
Democratic, lie was elected proseeutlug
attorney in 18(5'.). hut he was defeated
for the same ollice two years later.
From this time forward Major McKiuley
gave much attention to politics.
The seeming disasters in McKinley's
career brought only greater honors.
When MeKinli y offered himself as a
candidate for speaker of the house < :
representatives, he found that two oilier
w estern men?Burrows and Cannon
?were asking for the place, lleed wa
the only eastern aspirant, ami lie w< a

I of representativos that lite sp*. a!a
shall appoint It's most formidable o;
pon ni chairman of the ways aw-,
I means committee, anil this chairmu.i
; becomes c\ oilicio the leader of the majority.
This lot fell to McKinley. li
was his opportunity, and he took ad
vantage of it by formula tin;* the MeKinley
taii.T bid. The outcome :
known to the world.
Two years later, after MeKinhv's
distr'ct had been changed so as
make the normal majority against 1.
more than .*1.000, lie was del'"ated f<
congress, lmt he made a stron;; sheln^
by cutting his opponent's vole dov
to a margin of 1)00. This led to 1,
nomination as governor of Ohio, at,
his next st> ;> was to the White lions
Had McKinley been stteeessfnl in hi

had he appointed Heeil chairman c!

were tliat MeKinley himself might be
nominated. Then his strength of pur
pose and his li vc'> ideas of loyalty and
honor showed themselves, for in an
earnest and stirring speech lie demanded
that 110 votes lie east for him.

the country, and his popularity and
the confident e of the people in his principles
and purposes were constantly increasing;
hence there was little siir

first ballot at the Republican national
convention at St. Louis in 1S1M5.
M'KINLEY AS A SPEECHMAKER.
Experienced campaigners dcclart
that MeKinley was an ideal candidate.
He had all the courtesy of a Kentucky
colonel, and his gallantry was unfailing.
His memory for names and faces
was phenomenal. Though not effusive,

HIS HOME LIFE.
When Major McKinley llrst wont to
('anion tt> consult his sister on the
choice of a profession, he met Miss Ma
Sax ton, the pretty duught' r of .fames
Saxton. a well to tlo banker of Canton,
lie was young and true I looking; she
was sweet sixteen. The aetpiainlanee
ship was of short duration, for h" had
to go to Al' any to study law and she
had to return to school, hut the first
thins; that he did on his return to Can
ton as a full Hedged lawyer was to
seel; her out ami woo her for his wife.
They were married on the '-!.~>th day of
Innunry. 1S71. ami he always declared
that it was the best suit he ever won.
The sonny couple began tbelr housekeeping
iu the ohl Saxton home at
Canloii. Two children were born to
them, but both died In Infancy. Since
the birth of the second child Mrs. McKinley
has been an invalid, but yet a
linppy and conteuted one, for the devotion
of her husband was untiring. She
followed his political career closely
and often lie was Indebted to her for
valuable advice. During the conven
tlon which .renominated MeKinlcy for
the presidency, when the private wire
was ticking the news, there was no on?
so deeply interested in the result a
Mrs. MoKlnley, and when it came and
her husband entered the room with tin

In the eyes of the others present as
tenderly bending over her, he kissed
her dud said, "I congratulate you, my
dear," and she replied with a look that
spoke more than words.

marked traits was his devotion to his
mother nnu to his wife.
While his mother was alive he scarce
ly nflmved a day to pass without send
ing lu^^sotne message to let her know
that all was well with him. Ills solicitude
for his invalid wife was equally
touching. lie even went so far at times
when she was suffering more than usu
al to attend to some of the little details
of the household management In
order to relieve her as much as possible
from the strain and anxiety of such
duties. Very frequently dttriUK the
time ho was at the White IIous?v. even
when some important conference was
being held, he would excuse himself
and run up stairs to spend a few mo
nicnts with the Invalid woman winwas
so thoroughly In sympathy with
him. And no matter how dark 01
^threatening the situation may have
seemed to him ho invariably presented
to her only the most cheerful side.
Perhaps the most pathetic part of it
all was that a man of such tender devotion
to his family should have so little
real home life. For the last twenty
years or more his efforts were given
so entirely to the service of his country
and he was forced to move from place
to place so continuously that there has
been little chance for that domestic
happiness which a man of his nature
so covets.

Mr. McKinley was a plain liver. lie
