PRELATE'S AID TO McKlNLEY
SAID TO HAVE BEEN DUE
TO THEM.
; '
CINCINNATI, Dec. 13.?The inter'
est which Mr. and Mrs., Bellamy Storer
hare shown In the advancement ot
Archbishop Ireland is explained by the
fact that the prelate converted both
to his faith. Their zeal Is better understood
In this city than anywhere
else. The Archbishop has vtylteii
their home on Crandln Road, and because
of his Interest In tbem Mgr.
Storer has ben conspicuous In Catholic
circles.
Mrs. Storer was one of the leaders
in the movement to establlBht he Catholic
Cathedral In Cincinnati on the
hill tops. Slie offered Archbishop Elder
her beautiful home for the church.
, The agitation following the offer was
, such that the Archbishop decided to
remain down town among the great'
er.number of his followers. This de'
clslon ended the movement to estab'
llsh the Cathedral In St. Francis de
1 Sales Churc.
i Mrs'. Storer's political and social aci
tlvlty in Cincinnati has been great.
Her husband represented the First
Ohio district at one time. Mrs. Storer
was a conspicuous figure In Washington
and was always listened to attentively
by the leaders of the Republican
nartv in Ohio. To the friendship
cf Archbishop Ireland and the Storers
1 is said to have been due the hearty
support given to President McKlnley
by the prelate.
Mgr. Ireland's sen-Ice for the Republican
ticket In 1890 made Presldept
McKlnley anxious to show his
gratitude, and the prelate Is said to
have asked for preferment for Mr.
Storer. v
Mr. Storer preferred a cabinet place.
He was slated to become Assistant
Secretary of State, but Senator Foralter
objected to having Storer credited
to Ohio's share In the patronage.
President McKlnley cast about for another
place. Foraker was asked If ho
would have any objection if Storer
went on a diplomatic mission.
"The further the better," Is said to
have been Foraker's reply. Storer
[ was then sent abroad.
