SYMPATHY OF COMRADES.
The Members of the Mexico @. A. x.
Camp Pass Resolutions About
Death of President.

At the last regular meeting of W
S. Hancock Post, No. 239, Department
Of Missouri, G. A. r., the following
resolutions were adopted:
The nation mourns for the death Of
its chief magistrate, William McKin.
ley, who was shot down by the hand
of an assassin.
In view of the taking away of our
honored and esteemed comrade, VIII
liam Mckinley, we hereby express our
feelings Of deep sorrow and grief in
his untimely end. We feel that in
his death the nation has lost a wise
and benevolent ruler, a great states
man and a friend of the people.
He was one OF our comrades who
served four years in the late rebellion.
Enlisted as a private soldier and was
promoted to the rank Of major. After
the war wa over, like all other loyal
soldiers, took up the peaceful pur-
suits Of life.
Owing to his integrity and noble
worth he worked himself up from an
humble citizen OF the United States
of America to chief magistrate of the
nation.
He proved himself equal to the oc-
casion, but still he was the mark Of
hatred, envy and malice, and was
struck down by those who wish to de-
stroy this government.
To Mrs. Mckinley we offer the con-
dolence and heartfelt sympathy of a
people, holding in the highest esteem
the memory Of her lamented husband.
We pray that the God who sustained
him in the trying hour Of death, will
minister strength and consolation to
her.
We not only hold in horror the deed
of the assassin who caused his death,
but ~depreciate the existence of a band
of men and women in this free count
ry, who are imbued withsuch bastard
ly principles; and trust that the senti-
ment now aroused in the heart Of
every American citizen will not stop
until this organized band of ~assassins
is exterminated and driven from the
land they have disgraced and filled
with grief and sorrow. Therefore be
1t:
RESOLVED, That a copy Of these resolu-
tlons be sent to Private Secretary
Cortelyou to be delivered to Mrs Nc
Kinley, also one to our member of
Congress and one to the Cover
nor of the State Of Missouri, asking
that the laws already in force be
strictly adhered to, and If necessary
new laws regarding the expulsion and
destruction of all anarchists be passed
and enforced to the letter
