Tlie death of Tata Raad cloaca tbe
chapter cf on# of the atrangaar rival,

politic*—the rivalry between McKinley

contest was not bitter—It rarely came
above tba carfare o( (blogs—yet It
woe an Inevitable conflict end was
made ao fay the characters of tbe tiro
men and their propinquity In political
Ufa. The man wrro ae antithetic to
oae another as a dog and a cat In
no trait of tbolr characters wore they
similar. aod each Irritated tba otter.
McKinley mu solemn, rattier pomp
OR devoid of humor, given to Prtnc*
Athens aad white string ties, never ra

canny, tactful, arbaoe, adroit, smooth,
otengii la and placid. Used wan
brusque. a jolly men who liked to re
veal bis real salt and hated shame end
pretenses, a scholar who despised the
patter of polities that peases for learn
ing In congress, a wearer of each coats
and clothes with lots of pockets In
them—wrinkled clothes sail a soft hat;
tactless end proud of It: sot afraid of
making an enemy where It would do
the moat good: bristling with retort
and Invective.
LB noirw McKinley and Band were

quantise which McKinley woold hare
put Into the speakership would have
made him a failure. Basd waa lbs man

tactics there urare distinctly his own.
Hu need no ootward show of force.
He did not appear to bo moving at alL
Yet ho ground Seed aa with a glacier.
There !■ no dotfbt that If Beed had

McKinley out of action. There was
bad blood between them, but Bead

many kinds of damns about McKinley
to his friends.
The day McKinley died Bead aa4 n
