THE NATIONS SORROW.

Yesterday was a day of mourning for
the nation, day when all paslisanship
issunk in The face Of tue common woe,
and Americans, one and all, shed tears
of deep and unrestrained sorrow at the
bier Of their martyred President. He
died a he lived-a strong hearted man
a statesman and a Christian. The
story of the tragedy is too recent to
again narrate, and the nations resent
ment at such a deed is only equalled
by her deep distress. Strong measures
are necessary to stamp out this grow
lug cancer Of anarchism and keep our
institutions sacred ana beyond the
reach f despotism to despoil and de-
stroy. The nations heartfelt sympathy
gOe- cut to the grief-stncAen widow in
this, the greatest trial Of her life. Nav
she long survive to feel that kindly
touch of nature which makes the whole
world kin and find comfort in the I'M
iversal love and honor shown for the
man who was her true helpmate and
the nations pride

new lease of power. If sit met the
expectations of the people, if it tul
filled ali its obligations to the public
and did all that it processes that il did
do, IL Is not easy, in fact, it is impos-
sible to explain why the people dis
trusted and defeated it in 1899 And
no attempt has been made to give an
explanation. The election. machinery
in 1899 was all in its own hands aud it
cannot alltge fraud. without accusing
itself OF the fraud it imputes. The
simple truth is that the Republican
party did not live up To its promises,
but forfeited the confidence which the
people had placed in it, The scandals
which clung to the Republican House
of Delegates of 1896 and the more fa-
grant ones which made the House of
1898 notorious may be- and they have
been ignored by the Republican plat
form, but they were not forgotten
when the election of 1899 came on and
they were sgnally condemned. If the
Republican party merted he approval
of the people after four years of exper.
iment, why did the vote received by
its gubernatoriaI candidate drop from
l24, 936 in 1896 to ll6, 2s6 in 1899? And
why did the Democratic vote rise from
l06, l69 in 1895 to l2s, 400 in 1892 The
platform should have explained this, if
it is capable of explanation, because
unless exp aimed it signifies an en-
phatic disapprova! by the people of the
Republican party in Maryland
We defer the consideration of the
other sentences quoted from the plat
form until next week, as we have said
quite enough for to-day.

We are not now concerned with the
discussion and settlement of the great
questions growing out of the war with
Spain, or the proper policy to be pursu-

To Expel Wellington.

Mountain City Lodge, Knights
of Pythias, of Frederick, passed
resolutions Tuesday night last,
denouncing Senator George l..
Wellington, a member of the
order, for alleged unpatriotic and
disgraceful remarks about the
late President. The resolutions
declare that he violated the prin.
ciples Of the order by his remarks,
which prove him to be unfit for
mem bership in the order. The
resolutions will be sent to the
Grand Lodge, that his name may
be eXpunged from the rolls.

BUFFALO, \. Y, Sept. 10
SIN this hour of our terrible ma

country"
With these words upon his lips.
Theodore Roosevelt. at 30 min
uteS after 3 o'clock. Saturday at

He had actually been President

mony from the shoulders Of the
dead President to those of the
living.
The oath was administered at

was made in the presence of all
the members of the cabinet and
a distinguished gathering of the
friends of the Chief Magistrate
as we'll as the young, Self-reliant
man who had stepped into his
place.
AS important as the declara.
ton that he would carry ont the
Mckinley policy was President
Roosevelt'S request to all the
members of the cabinet and to
secretary Cortelyou that they re-
main in office.
President Roosevelt reached
Buffalo about 1870 p. m. on Sat
urday, having come from the
club in the Adirondacks, where
he had been summering. He
went at once to the home of
Mr.. AnSley Wilcox.
The President went soon to the
Milburn House and offered his
condolences to Mrs. Mckinley.
1t was shortly after o'clock
when Mr.. Roosevelt returned to
the Wilcox house to take the oath.
Senator Chauncey Nj. Depew, who
made the sDeecheS nominating
Mr.. Roosevelt for Governor and
Vice President, was one of those
to arrive early. Among others in
waiting were DR.. and Mr.. Charles
Carey, William Jeffries. George

Satcherd, Carlton Sprague, Geo.
p. Sawyer, John l.. Milburn, Mrs.

Presidents physicians. Later
there came Secretary of War
Root, Attorney General Knox,
Postmaster General Smith and
John r.. Hazel, Judge of the
United States Court of the
Western District Of New York.
In another carriage arrived Sec.
rotary Of the Navy Long, Sec.
rotary of the Interior Hitchcock.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
and Colonel Bingham, superin-
tendent of the White House
buildings and grounds. Follow
ing i'll third carriage came Sec
rotary Cortelyou, John l.. Mil.
burn and George p. Heating, the
Clerk of the United States Dis.
trict Court.
Standing beside the President
as he took the oath was Judge
Hazel, who administered it. The
President was grave and there
was not a smiling face in the
room. Same Of the women were
in tears.

PASSES AWAY SATURDAY
MORNING.
ASSASSINS BULLET DOES
ITS FATAL WORK.
Entire Country Mourns His
Death Many Tributes of
Respect to His Memory
His Funeral Took Place in
Canton Yesterday.

President Mckinley is dead.
He passed away quietly last Sat
urday morning at 2.15 o'clock
at the Milburn residence in Buff
falo, where he was taken after
the primary operation at the
Emergency Hospital that fatal
Friday, the 9th of September.
All that medical skill could do
was done, but the bullet had
gone home and death resulted
from the effects.
The shock to the people was
most severe, for they had be-
come extremely hopeful on the
strength of the bulletins given
out by the physicians, which
showed the patients condition
improved from day to day until
Thursday, the 18th, when a re-
lapse came from which he never
recovered.
The post-mortem revealed the
fact that gangrene had set in and
that it was the cause Of death.
From every quarter of the
globe expressions OF sympathy
and confidence have come from
crowned heads, presidents of re-
publics. ministers, consuls and
laymen. The highest tributes
have been paid to his memory.
Every organization in this
country has drawn up suitable
resolutions and individual en-
pressions eXtol his character and
his administration.
Never was there a public man
who had apparently 50 few
enemies.
1t is now President Theodore
Roosevelt. He has taken the
prescribed oath and declares he
will carry out to the best of his
ability, the policy of his prede-
cessOr.
The funeral of the late Presi-
dent took place in Canton, Ohio,
at 2 o'clock IS o'clock Eastern
time) yesterday, the 18th inst.
1t was Il most impressive occa-
sion and was witnessed by a
great concourse of people. The
remains were inferred in West
Lawn Cemetery, where lie the
bodies Of his two children, Ida
and Kate, who died in early life.
In Buffalo and Washington
the body Of the President lay in
State and was viewed by thou
sands. In the crush at the Cap
itol in Washington, several per-
sons were very severely hurt.
The funeral train on its jour
ney to Canton was met at all
stations by great crowds.
The trial Of Czolgosz, the as
sassin, will take place on Mon
day, in Buffalo.
