pressing condemnation Of the crime Augus.
GiIdemeister. one Of the anarchists. who is well
known in Justus H. Schwab's saloon, in First.
ST., tried to head Off several speakers who
wanted to second Mr.. Campbelrs motion.
After several attempts ne got the floor and
declared himself against the resolution.
How do know that Czolgosz is an an
aIchist?" he shouted I'VE don't know how
good a reason he hal for shooting President
Mckinley. He might have been one OF the men
imprisoned in the bull pen at Idaho"
Gildemeister's talk was evidently not relshed
but. Notwithstanding. he began a bitter attack
on President Mckinley. It caused such a hub
bub that he could not get chance 70 Anish it,
Delegate Campbell who was greatly affected
and whose voice shook with emotion as he
talked said that he had not intended to speak
to his motion. thinking that it would have been
carried unanimously. but he found it necessary
to say something.

Magistrate. Every American citizen ought 10
look with horrcr on the crime President
Mckinley is not of my political faith but he
was elected by the majority: and when he was
