knlcv To my mind he should have no enemies.
No right.minded man could wish his death.
"llc is great, good president, and true,
pure, dgnhcd man. lie was ALWAYS aifabe, al.
ways approachablc; no man could he more demo-
cratic than he was invariably found to be.
II never remember to have seen him when he
was not of pleasant micn. Generally he was
smiling when meeting hi1 callers. Only once do
| remember him to he otherwise That was at
the time when there was such uncertainty and
consequent anxiety as TO the whereabouts OF the
Spanish feet in the opening days Of the war.
There were then Caro.wom rings under his eyes
and the brightness had faded from his face, No
man could meet him and not he endeared to him.
How any man could stand before his face and
shoot him ia beyond my comprehension. 1t was
a demon who did it.
II have always regarded President Mckinley
"a one Of the greatest men of this or any other
age, and firmly believe his name will go down
in the history Of this country ot the wisrst
most scrupulously honest and broadest statesmen

| JUDGE ALTON A. NOSBURG.-'I am deeply
shocked at this unfortunate ahair, and believe
| voice the sentiment ot tho great American
| people when say that MI Mckinley is the very
last person in this broad land Of ours whom

lie has administered the affairs of this nation
| during the last four years with craftsmanship
| so wise and patriotism 50 exalted az 10 place

who have made the United States the foremost

the man who fired those shots must have been
utterly dcmentcd or the devil himself turned
