Interest was at a very low ebb and the
number of votes cast was about on an
average with the totals in recent pri-
mardes.
clusively that the machine has secured
control of every ward in the county. All
anti-ring men are out. No opposition
was experienced and consequently no
trouble resulted. The POSSES got every
thing in the way OF delegates. As far as
can be learned, not one man who Is OPP
posed to the wishes of the bosses WAS
elected.
The First ward scrap was patched up,
and the two factions, both known as reg
ulars, split the number Of delegates to
effect compromise.
The county convention takes place
Wednesday night TN Lincoln Hall, and
Thursday night the city convention is to
be held in the same hall.

archsst and that he became an enthusiastic
member of that body through the influence
of Emma Goldman. whose writings ne nau

He denies having any confederate. and
says he decided on the act three days ago.

He has seven brothers ana sisters IN

He is now detained at police headquar-
tiers pending the result Of the Presidents

Czolgosz does not appear in the least de-

and out came the prisoner and his guards.
He was hurled into the carriage by the

slammed the door, and the carriage was
off ON a mad dash for the triumphal cause

The roar OF that mob was a sound never

had the intense growl. the bloodthirsty
Shrek and the savage note that is heard
only in the voices OF frenzied mob.
As the carriage moved away Captain Val

Chicago, Sept. 6.-Senator cullom said to.
night:
Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield and
William Mckinley were the three Presi-
dents most thoroughly In sympathy, ap-
parently. with the great body of the COM
mon people Of the country that We have
had since the beginning of our constitu-
tional government. Mr.. Lincoln was as
sassinated in the early part of his second
term: Mr.. Garfield during the first few
months Of his first term. and an attempt
has been made to assassinate President Nc
Kinley in the early part of his second
term. 1t seems strange to my mind that
such fate should befall such men-men
who were generous to fault. and who were
faithfully performing the great duties Of
their high Office.
mo man was of more kindly nature
than President Mckinley. His heart beat
in unison with the great body OF the peo-
pie OF the country and of the world. His
sole purpose was to do his duty. to take
care that the laws should be faithfully
executed. and that the country should so
on in its career of growth and prosperity:
and yet he seems to have shared the fate
of those great men who have gone before
Kim.
II sincerely hope that he may recover to
carry out his purpose in the interest OF the
United States Government and OF the peo-
ple to the end OF his oflcial term, and be
allowed to retire, as he has unqualifledly
expressed his purpose to do when his term
shall expire. There can be no question that
he has made one Of the greatest Presidents
Of the United States. His name will be
linked closely with that Of Washington and
Lincoln, and deservedly SO. Even on yes
terday he delivered an address to the peo-
ple at the exposition which is full OF wis
dom, and showed that his whole heart and
life were absorbed by desire to do what
was best for his own country. not forgetting
the other nations Of the world. 1t Will be a
great thing for the United States and for the
world. II he shall be spared. II he shah
be taken away 1t is my sincere hope and
rrayer that the policies of President NC.
