Columbus, Sept. 10.-lIon. NJ. A.
Daugherty, chairman of the Demo-
cratic state executive committee. Mon
day directed a letter to Chairman
Charles Dick, of the Republican COM
mittee proposing that both political
parties hold no campa,gn meetings
this fall out of respect to President
Mckinley. A similar proposition was
made by the Democrats to the Republi-
cans in the fall of 1881 following the
assassination Of President Garfield and
It was accepted. Following is the full
text of Chairman Daughertys letter:
Columbus. o., Sept. 0. 1901.
Hon. Charles w. Dick, chairman Re-
publican state executive committee,
Columbus, Ohio.
My Dear Sir: Ohio is the home of
President Mckinley. and the recent at
tempt at his assassination has aroused
the Indignation and horror of not only
all the citizens of his own state, ir-
respective of party, but of the nation
as well. IT is the hope and prayer of
all the people that he may be speedily
restored to health and resume the per
formance of the duties of his high
Office. The Democratic state cxecu-
tive committee believes that both 20
litical parties in Ohio can best mani
fest the great respect which they en-
tertain, for the president. both person
ally and officially, and their sincere
wishes for his recovery by omitting
political meetings from the conduct Of
the campaign. |, therefore, on behalf
of the Democracy of the state. propose
to you that each committee withdraw
all announcements already made for
such meetings and that no political all
dresses be made by speakers for either
party at any time preceding the cleo
ton. understand a similar proposal
was made by the Democratic commit
tee in Ohio the year Garfield was as
sassinated and the same was accepted
by the then Republican committee.
Awaiting your reply, beg to suscribe
myself very respectfully yours,
NJ. A. DAUGHERTY, Chairman.
