JERSEY CITY MOURNS.
Citizens Of All Parties De:
nounce the Dastardly
Crime.

| McKinley's life was received in this city
| about five o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The first expression was one of incredulity
but as soon as it became known that the
| dispatches told the truth citizens, ire
spective of party affiliations, gave express
sion to the great grief which they felt
| over the affair. Nothing but sympathy
| for the stricken wife and detestation for
! the miscreant and his iniquitous deed was
heard on all sides.
| Citizens in this city regardless of poll
ties are denouncing the dastardly crime.
Chief of Police Murphy said:-"The at
| tempt on the life of President Mckinley
| is too horrible to talk about. l am very
much grieved that such an event is pos
sible in this country. 1t is the worst stain
on our spirit that has been made in mod
! ern times. There is no doubt that it was
the work of an anarchist and the last step
| in a plot Matched out at some meeting OF
| this class of men who are no better than
dogs. Anarchists should receive no more
| consideration at the hands of honest
citizens. They should be treated like mad
dogs, put out of the way so that they
cannot carry out their murderous
schemes. They are not even worthy the
treatment a mad dog should receive. The
dog shows his purpose while the anarchist
hides his fangs and intentions until the
hour of prevention is past and the deed
is done.
"I am particularly pleased to note that
the better side of the nature of the Ameri-
can prevailed and lynch law was not en-
acted This Is tribute to American hon.
