The following message was sent TO Mrs.

The telegram was signed by NJ A. Daugh-

Representative Charles Dick, chairman of
the Republican state executive committee,
gave out the following:

his life, occurring at a time of prosperity,

American people,, irrespective of party, race
or nativity, is for his speedy and complete

HORROR AND GRIEF.
Henry c. Payne Deplores the Act Of
the WouId-Be Assassin.

MILWAUKEE,. Sept. 6.-Henry c. Payne.
vice chairman of the Republican national
committee and an intimate friend Of Pres
ident Mckinley, spoke OF the attempted
assassination of the President as follows:
1.-THE news of the attempted assasinatiOn
Of President Mckinley, whether the wounds
prove fatal OF not. fills me with unspeak-
able horror and grief. The attempt upon
his life was not because he was William
Mckinley. but because he was President
of the United States, and I believe it 10

chief magistrate from assassination.

tions. They were almost stoical in their
bulletin announcing that the physicians at
the Presidents bedside had held a consul
tation and believed the sufferer would live,
the news was received in dead silence.
Within an incredibly short time the
streets were full of newsboys crying the
startling fact. The sale OF extra editions
was unprecedented. Business was almost
suspended. In Wall street. where the work
of the day had been done, there were COM
partively few to feel the shock of the in
teIligence.' But in spite of this Wall street
and the adjoining t-horoughfares were filled
with anxious groups of men and boys clus-
tered about the readers of the extra edi-
tions, and anxious inquiries were made of
every one for anything which was not al
ready public knowledge.
In the clubs and hotels the keenest in
terest was manifest. At the big hotels
the possible effect on the financial situation
was chiefly discussed. All sorts of rumors
were abroad. 1t was said that ]. P. Nor
gan had summoned the chief bankers and
capitalists on board his yacht and was
holding a ways and means conference, and
it was wildly stated hat the presidents
of all the banks were in session in the
Metropolitan Club. The truth is that Mr.
Morgan, after a short conference witt
James r. Keene, boarded his yacht and
went to Great Neck, l.. 1.
In the F~ifth-avenue Hotel Senator Plat
sat in the corridor and was the center of q
| gathering of men who sat or stood about
him with genuine sorrow written on theil
faces. They listened with respect to the
Senator as he said that it was such cases
as these that justified lynching and addec
that he regretted the penalty in this State
for the crime, should the President not die
was only ten years in the penitentiary.
At the Democratic Club and in the Hof'
man House, where congregated the mer
whose political sympathies were not witt
the chief executive, politics were forgotten
in the sorrow which was evident on purely
personal grounds.
The first resolutions of sorrow passed IN
this city were by a joint meeting of {

seemed stunned by the news. Those around

tragedy. and it was decided to announce

who had gathered to hear Colonel Roose-

Proctor made the announcement.
Later a bulletin was received stating that
the President was resting quietly and that
the chances were favorable for his recov-

CROWDS AT PHILADELPHIA.


PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6.-The news OF
the attempted assassination Of President
Mckinley spread with lightning rapidity
throughout the city, and within an hour
after the first Information had Eeen re-
ceived the streets in the vicinity. Of the
newspaper offices were thronged with peo-
pie eager for details. Nearly all tie news
papers published extra editions at brief
intervals and the supply OF each edition
was quickly exhausted.
At the offices Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road and the Philadelphia & Reading Rail-
road the executive officers assembled and
received special advices concerning the
Presidents condition. The Union League,
the Manufacturers Club and other iniuen-
tial organizations were crowded with men,
bers anxious to hear the latest reports
from Buffalo.
Late tonight the streets in the business
session took on the appearance of ian cleo
ton night, and the one topic of conversa-
ton among the thousands who crowded
about the newspaper bulletins was the at
tempted assassination Of the President.

BRYAN's STATEMENT.
He Relieves the Shot Was Fired by an
Insane Man.

LINCOLN. Neb., Sept. 6.-Following the
receipt of the news from Buffalo of the
tragedy, w. j. Bryan sent a brief message
to President Mckinley. expressing his con-
Germ. Mr.. Bryan tonight gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
'The attempted assassination of the Pres
ident is a shock to the entire country, and
he and his wife are the recipients of uni
versal sympathy. The dispatches say that
the shot was fired by an insane man, and it
is hoped that this is true, for, while it is a
terrible thing for a President to be the vic
tim of the act of a maniac. it would be
even worse for him to be fired upon
by a sane person prompted by malice
or revenge. In a republic where the peo-
pie 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 those nations in
which force is the only weapon of the gov
eminent and the only weapon of the gov
ernment's enemies"

AT NEW YORK.
Business Almost Suspended When the
Startling News Came.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-This city was
stunned when the news came that Presi-
dent Mckinley had been shot. AS a rule
the people on the streets were palpably
feeling more deeply than they had the
power to express. AS a consequence there
was a dearth OF the demonstrations which
accompanied the announcement that Presi-
dent Garfield had been shot, or the out
break of wrath and deep sorrow which was
a feature of the assassination of President
Lincoln.
That the mass of the people was keenly
interested became manifest during the
evening, when the bulletin boards became
the center of interest for thousands on up
per Broadway. in Harlem and at the news
paper offices in Park Row. The crowds
which gathered about these news centers

ONE OF A TRINITY.
Senator CuIIom Compares Mckinley
with Lincoln and Garfield.

CHICAGO, Sept. Ex-senator Shelby Nj.
Cullom said tonight:
Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield and
William Mckinley were the three Presi-
dents most thoroughly in sympathy, ap-
parently, with the great body of the COM
had since the beginning of our constitu-
tional government. Mr.. Lincoln was as
sassinated in the early part of his second
term, Mr.. Garfield during the first
few months of his first term.
and an attempt has been made to
as~sassinate Mr.. Mckinley in the early part
of his second term. It seems strange to
my mind that such a fate should befall such
men-men who were all generous to a fault,
and who were faithfully performing the
great duties OF their high office.
n man was of a more kindly nature
than President Mckinley. His heart
beat in unison with the great body
of the people of the country and
of the world. His sole purpose
was to do his duty, to take care that the
laws should be faithfully executed and that
the country should go on in it's career of
growth and prosperity; and yet he seems
to have shared the fate Of those great men
who nave gone before him. I sincerely
hope that he may recover to carry out his
purposes in the interest of the United
States government and of the people to the
end Of his official term, and be allowed to
retire, as he has unqualifedly expressed
his purpose to do, when his term shall ex-
pire. There can be no question that he has
made one Of the greatest Presidents OF the
United States. His name will be linked
closely with that of Washington and Lin
coin. and deservedly so. Even on yester-
day he delivered an address to the peo-
pie at the exposition, which is full of wis
dom. and showed that his whole heart and
life were absorbed by a desire to do what
was best for his own country. not forget
ting the other nations of the world. 1t
will be a great thing for the United States
If he shall be taken away 1t is my sin
cere hope and prayer that the policies of
President Mckinley during his term shall
be continued"

papers began to appear. the carriers rushed
madly through the streets and crowds Of
people began TO gather from all quarters o:
