ON COUNTRY's AFFLICTI0N
In Death of President and
Fiend Assassin---Quincy
For Governor.

Boston, Oct. 3-Ths democratic
state convention met here today. The
platform adopted laments the assas-
sination of President Mckinley, whose
distinguished public and private vir-
tues and eminent place which he won
among American statesmen are re-
cognized.
Under our democratic institutions.
the platform adds, that hand which
was raised against the president is in
reality directed against popular SOW
ereignty itself. Freedom of speech
does not include the right to advocate
assassination.
Greetings to Roosevelt.
The platform extends it's good
wishes to President Roosevelt with
out prejudice of the right to criticise
his action and oppose his policies as
the future occasion may require.
Josiah Quincy, mayor of Boston,
was nominated for governor.
