Sold by Connell Bros., Druggists, Beldmg. fir Tor the next few months the names of two ineu will be often coupled in enthusiastic phrases by Republicans all over the country. They will wave ou banners. They will be spoken by political orators before audiences which will take this as a cue for let tins loose the rapid fire batteries of applause. These names are McKlnley and Roosevelt. Both names were familiar to the people before the Republican na tional convention. The public acts and the careers of both men, from their 'ijivrijfht, 1ixj, ty ( krlt 4. Gray. WILLIAM boyhood on, have been subject to ex haustive publicity. Vc know when and where they were born, what were the conditions surrounding them in youth and every step of their progress op the ladder of national fame. Hut we may know all this and still be unacquainted with the real men be hind the names. Character is abstract You cannot detlue it by dates and rec ords. We have words to describe sa lient features of It, but at the best they picture only vague generalities. It is only the great masters of fictiou who are able to make us know a man we have never seen and who probably never existed. There is still another 111a liner of getting acquainted with men with whom we have not the op portunity of intimacy. This is by in ference. It is an indirect mode, and its accuracy depends upon our own Judg ment. The traits of character which are most apparent In William McKlnley, the Republican standard bearer, are manliness, dignity and gentleness. You will admit that they are good traits. They command your respect. Rut these traits by no means make up the sum of his character. They are simply the ones which are most prominent. They are the ones which show on the sur face. For the rest you must go much deeper than the limits of mere printers' Ink will allow. The candidate for re-election to the highest otlice in the gift of the people Is today a man who might well be tak en as a typical American. He is rather stout, but none too much so for his height and age. Ills Is not the com manding figure of Lincoln's, nor is It lacking in Indies, as was Grant's. Men who knew Stephen A. Douglas say that Mr. McKlnley resembles him very much. Mr. McKlnley looks practically no older now than he did when he was nominated for the first time. Four years of presidential responsibility may have thinned somewhat the hair on his forehead and touched it with white on the temples, but the lines about the mouth and eyes seem to deeper. In spite of an eventful admin istration It Is probable that the gain of self confidence and mental poise has more than made up for the strain of hard work and the anxiety about ex ternal things. Men who finally reach a successful period in their lives seem to age very slowly. It appears to be this way with Mr. McKlnley. Some of his friends even insist that he has grown younger during his four years in the White House. At any rate, he does not look all of his .'7 years. Yet the McKinh y who Is now presi dent and presidential candidate Is by no means the same McKlnley who made the campaign in 1!h;. No man ( tin occupy for four years a position nt the hed of a great nation without be- i m k 1 ikp-, m It p mm w Ote PEIKONAL OF THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES lug in sumo way affected by it. Mr. McKlnley seems to have gained dig nity of carriage, mental poise and gen tleness of manner. All three ho had in some degree before, but now, as lias been said, they are distinctive traits. They always bespeak the ripened char acter. Perhaps his gentleness Is due to his kindly domestic relations. As Is well known, he has for many years been the devoted and tenderly solicitous hus band of a partially Invalided wife, ills devotion to his aged mother, as wit- M'KIXLKY. nessed during the last years of her life, was no less tender. An instance of this Is the fact that every 21 hours during those closing years the president son communicated n some way with his mother. While he lived in Canton his dally cull on her was a part of the routine of his life. After he became president he did not allow the days to become so crowded with affairs that then was no time left for his "message to mother." So every day there was sent to the dear old lady in Canton a White House en velope containing some word from "My William at Washington," as she always spoke of him. He Is, too, as good a husband as he J life 4;feife MKS. M'KINLIJY. was a son. P.usy as bo Is bo seems never to forget the sweet faced wife who suffers much, yet hides it all with a never falling cheerfulness. It h not unusual for him to Interrupt the most Important conferences to run up stairs CONTINUED ON EIGHTH 1'AtJE.J SIDE CYRUS a SYLVEST ER m la the White House for a few moments with her. lie has been known to do this a dozen times in a day. For Mrs. McKiuley's sake White House etiquette has been radically altered. In other administrations It has been customary for the president to sit at one end of the table at state dinners and the lady of the executive mansion at the other. Hut Mrs. Mc Klnley has always been given the seat of honor at the right of her husband, where he could hear her slightest wish. When great affairs of tl nation were at stake, lie has always given her the most cheerful and optimistic view pos sible. When they travel together, she Is shielded in many ways by his con stant care. This gentleness Is even extended to others. There are many who can testi fy to It. His custom of giving flowers to casual callers Is an Instance of this. The pink carnation Is President Mc Kiuley's favorite llower. He is seldom seen without one In his buttonhole, and when he Is in the White House there Is always a big bunch of them put In a vase on Ids desk. Sometimes the vase Is replenished several times during the day. He gives them away, not reck lessly, but with discretion. Ho seems to know just where they will be appre ciated. A case in point Is an Incident which occurred early in his administration, when representatives of several labor organizations called upon him to ask a favor. The request was one which he could not grant, but after he had ex pressed his regret he took the carna tion from his buttonhole and pinned It upon the lapel of one of the leaders. Then he distributed the contents of the vase among the rest, with the remark: "Please give these to your wives or sweethearts, with my compliments." Many a disappointed office seeker has gone away from the White House with a carnation In his buttonhole, which he prized almost as much as he would have valued the appointment he THE M'KIXLEY IJOMK I.V CANTON. failed to pet. This may be only tact or It may be genuine kindliness of heart. Tact he certainly has. No better ex ample could be found than his reply to Captain Slgsbee when the president at tended a reception given in honor of the hero of the Maine. "Mr. President," said the gallant cap tain. "I wish to thank you for this honor." "Not at all, captain," replied Mr. Mc Klnley. "It Is an houor to be here." Hut with all his gentleness Mr. Mc Klnley knows how to deal out stern o " Wc hare three children. Before the birth of the last one my wifj used four bot tles of MOTHER'S riULHD.
