Lincoln, Neb., Sept. Wv. j. Bryan
sent a brief message to President Nc
Kinley expressing his concern. Then
Mr.. Bryan gave out the following
statement.
The attempted assassination of the
president is a shock TO the entire
country and he and his wife are the
recipients of universal sympathy.
The dispatches say the shot was fired
by an insane man and it is hoped this
is true, for, while it is terrible thing
] for president OF be the victim of the
act of maniac, it would be worse for
him to be fired upon by sane per-
son prompted by malice or revenge.
In a republic where the people elect
their officials and can remove them
there can be no excuse for a resort to
violence. If our president were in
constant fear of plots and conspiracies
we would soon sink to the level of the
nations in which force is the only
weapon of the government enemies =
