good talk

William McKinley (Jan. 29, 1843 to Sept. 14, 1901) was the 25th President of the United States, twice-elected.  The protege of Rutherford B. Hayes and kingmaker, Mark Hanna, William was the 1st strong-president after a series of weak-presidents following Lincoln's assassination, and one of seven presidents from Ohio, in a series of 11, 7 were from this state).  Under McKinley, the Spanish American War was fought and won (duck soup), greatly expanding the U.S.'s territory and power, and burgeoning American industry was protected by strong tariffs--under Wm McKinley, the United States became the most powerful country in the world.  On Sept. 5, 1901, McKinley gave a speech in Buffalo before 50 thou, the next day, the President was shaking hands with the Public, Leon Czolgosz, from the Polish community of Cleveland, was so honored by being allowed to shake hands with the President of the United States, that he shot and wounded the President.  As men were beating Leon Czolgosz, the President intervened ...Take it easy on him, boys...  Due to incompetent doctors, gangrene set in and William McKinley died on Sept. 14, 1901.  Leon Czolgosz was quickly tried and convicted, and on Oct. 29, 1901 was electrocuted, with his body dissolved in acid (how macabre)).  Our martyred-president was honored by having America's tallest peak named for him, and it was known as Mount McKinley, while still known by the native name of Denali.  Why this great President should be so dishonored as to have his name stricken from the mountain and national park is a travesty.  This is all you swine's fault.  Of course, I've been to the magnificent McKinley's Tomb and Museum in Canton, when you plebeians go to the Hall of Fame, you should also stop there.
