Since William McKinley was re-elected President in the year 1900, we are
definitely doing an exhibition covering his re-election and his repeated
defeat of William Jennings Bryan.  Since I am the new curator at the
McKinley Museum and National Memorial, I am just beginning to delve into the
issues that I should cover.  I would be glad to further discuss the planned
exhibits when I get more settled in.
