A mass m, citing of citizeLs was

for the president of the United

that has befallen him at the hands

Whereas, there has heen a dia-

the attempted assassination of ths
president, and stating, with other
dlsparaging remarks, "that he has
done more injury to the cause and
good name of the great republic
than any of the men who preced

in our oplnien the said editorial is
not justified in fact, but is ill tim.

4. That a copy of the foregoing
preamble and resolution be sent
