Background
The new Governor-Elect of Ohio, William McKinley, invites his old friends, Mr. and Mrs. John Taylor, to travel with him and Mrs. McKinley from Canton to Columbus for the inauguration. They will leave on Saturday morning for the Monday swearing-in. “You and Mrs. Taylor had better come up the day before, so as to be on hand to accompany us,” he writes. “Don’t fail me.”
Taylor would be with his friend four years later, too, when McKinley got the news at home that he had been elected president - and would go with him to Washington for that inauguration as well.
