Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from McKinley Day Banquet, Tuesday, January 29, 1907 In referring to "Memories of McKinley," I am reminded that Governor Herrick, the distinguished Toastmaster of the evening, was no doubt as close to the martyred President as any man who still survives him. Governor Herrick was not only a member of his Staff and a delegate at State and National Conventions at which McKinley was nominated, but he was also his adviser and helper in private business and personal matters, as well as in party and public affairs. Herrick´s home was McKinley´s home in Cleveland, and McKinley´s home was Herrick´s home in Canton. Later, Herrick was also at home with McKinley in Columbus and Washington. Ten years ago tonight, McKinley was celebrating his birthday at his old home. It was his last birthday in Canton. He had been a private citizen the previous year and was at that time the President-elect of the United States. During the five weeks intervening between that birthday and his inauguration, he was constantly in conferences with those seeking to become Cabinet Ministers, Ambassadors or otherwise listed in the Blue Book. There was then to be a change from a Democratic to a Republican National Administration. That was perhaps the most strenuous birthday of his life. The most difficult questions of party and public policy were, even then, pressing hard upon him. He had often gone from Canton to Washington during the previous 20 years, but he had never made that trip under such circumstances as confronted him on that birthday. What a career was his in public life for a quarter of a century. From Congressman to Governor, and from Governor to President, he passed up with such brief intervals that he was constantly before the people, from the Hayes campaign of 1876 until his death in 1901. As you will tonight have an able address on this good and great man and brave soldier from one of our foremost scholars and orators, I will speak only of personal recollections of him as a Christian, husband and companion. Having served as Lieutenant Governor, when McKinley was for four years Governor, it was my fortune to have toured the state with him in different campaigns, and to have been personally associated with him after his first gubernatorial campaign.
