THE ASSASSIN TRIUMPHs.


The President Of the United
States, William Mckinley. IS dead
Czolgosz, anarchist, assassin, muir
derer, sought an opportunity and
got in his deadly work, one ball
from the demons gun penetrating,
crushing and tearing in its course.
Surgeons and physicians were sum
noned without considering num-
bers and costs and trained nurses
were on duty every moment.
Prayers assembled to God. nation
was moved IS one man in pro-
found sympathy, but alas The
.h;il, the experience, the arm or
man was too short and the assas-
sin must triumph in his bastard
iced. How great the difference
between Presidents convictions OF
political principles and others, We
would not for a moment think him
insincere. As a poor boy, a school
lad, a graduate in college, Con-
gressman, a Governor Of the State
of Ohio, "a President Of the Uni
ted States, he ever remembered
mother and the matters Of greater
concern were second only to the
care Of mother and her wishes. A
man like this is the true steel, is
strictly conscientious. This was
William Mckinley. Did he make
mistakes? Yes, his reasoning was
sometimes poor, but in his con-
clusions he was conscientious.
Had ne reasoned well we do not
think he would have been found
in Republican lines at all, but that
is our opinion, the result of our
reasoning and even we Democrats
are not infalliable. As a Lawyer,
Congressman, Governor and Pres
ident he had to deal with great
questions and no man who values
his reputation or his honor would
say less than this: He was indus
trious and careful in thought. per
sistent in research, he did the best
he could. He was great man,

and we are reconciled. We do
not anticipate the assassin's bullet
or blade, nor do We consider the

land Of Czolgosz, a devil from
the beginning, who would plunge

he hypocritically, yet cordially,
