THE NIGHT
Scenes s%atrthe Milburn
Residence.

Buffalo, N. y, Sept. 7.--(Spl.)-Day.
light this morning brought no wake
fulness to the eyes of any human he
Ing In John G. Milburn's house, for
though some had slept futfully, gray
dawn peeped in ON no sleeping face.
The night was an eventful one at the
Milburn home. Mrs. Mckinley slept
awhile, but with her it was Il forced
sleep.
DIR. Rlxey counselled with her. She
wanted to spend the night at her hus
bands side, but, in her feeble cond-
tion, this was not to be thought of.
Mrs. Mckinley knows her condition
and realizes full well that DIR. Rixey
understands her. She listened to his
counsel and took the draught which
would induce sleep-a mild opiate,
which closed her eyes shortly after
her head was laid on its pillow.
In the Presidents chamber though,
there was n watchfulness for every
second. Dr. Rixcy,,wa with him till
daybreak, and the last bulletin of the
night, issued at 4 a. m, was signed
by Dr. Rixcy alone. Dr.. Parks stayed
until nearly o'clock and counselled
with DR.. Rixey.
TWO nurses were sent in from
the Emergency hospital on the exposi-
ton grounds. Every few minutes one
or the other of these women was up
or down stairs with this, that or the
nj har thin,r 70 o., -
and care.
All of the bulletins that came from
the bedside during the night showed
that the President was resting com.
fortably He was under the influence
of strong opiates. which induced sleep
and while he slept his injuries We're be-
ing tenderly and scientifically cared
for by doctors and nurses.
The Milburn parlor was converted
into an official bureau, where George
b. Cortelyou, private secretary to the
president, held sway.
Before midnight both the Western
Union and Postal telegraph COM
panics had wires connected and in
struments working in the Milburn
barn, one office being established In
the coachman'S room and the other
In the carriage room. These wires
were Kept exceptionally busy up to
8 o'clock this morning with messages
of state and of private importance.
Two White House messengers, We're
also In attendance.
shortly after II o'clock Senator
Marcus A. Hanna arrived from Cleve-
land. He gave an interview TO
representative of the Scripps' McRae
at the Milburn residence shortly after
midnight,
Senator Hanna said that he left
Cleveland when telegram reached
him about 4;15, Informing him of the
shooting. He was able to catch a
train leaving Cleveland mt 3;20 O'Clock
and reached here late at night, being
Immediately driven TO the Mllburn resi-
dence, where he remained until 80
o'clock this morning. He then left
there accompanied by Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson and Harry Ham
lin, of this city.

utive which is controlled by, and which
furnishes protection and immunity to,
vicious economic policies and un-
lawful combinations, inimical to the
interests of the people at large, Con
gress which in return for offices placed
at the disposal of its members, has alb.
dicated its constitutional duties of
Legislation, and a judiciary either un-
able or unwilling to define the gravest
questions of the status of our recent
conquests in language that can be I'M
derstood by men of ordinary intelli-
gencc, and, in Ohio, by a state ad-
ministratiOn which has done nothing
for the people worthy of its hire.
5. We believe that the ballot in
telligently and incorruptly cast, fur
nishcs an adequate remedy for every
mend it to all who are justly com
planning of Industrial ills and vicious
systems of trade, as their only safe
guard and reliance.
g. We commend to all voters the
platform adopted by the late Demo-
cratic state convention of Ohio, and
particularly that part of it which
stands for a more equitable distribu-
tion Of the burdens Of taxation; and
we denounce the refusal of the Re
publican taxing officers of the state
to rectify their present practice Of pro
tecting favored interests from bear
ing their share of public imposts as
masterpiece of injustice and knavery.
7. We expressly and especially in
struct and require the legislative NOM
inees of this convention in the event
Of their election, to secure to the City
of Akron reformed system of admin
istration, In place Of one which for in
efficiency, wastefulness and general
uselessness, is-we believe--without its
fellow in the history of municipal mis-
government: And we demand that such
reform shall restore to the people of
Akron their proper voice in selecting
their public servants ana in requiring
from the latter strict account Of how
they have discharged their trust, IN
stead of leaving them, as at present,
accountable only to an irresponsible
bossiSm.
=. We favor a rigid economy in all
public expenditures, and to that end
we pledge the legislative nominees of
this convention. in the event of their
election, to support any measure look
ing to the reduction of the compensa-
ton of county officials to fair and
just basis.
q. We demand the passage of law
in Ohio making the recovery Of costs
in magistrates courts entirely inde-
pendent of the event of the suit, and
thus relieving the unfortunate debtor
from the imposition OF burdens in ad,
diton to what he owes. and which Of
ten amounts, in common practice, to
oppression.
10. We pledge our loyal support to
the Democratic state ticket of Ohio
and to the nominees of this conven-
tion.
II. We deplore the recent attempt
on the life of the President We hope
for his early and complete recovery
from his wounds, and we denounce as
sasslnatlon as a cowardly and un-
American crime, deserving of speedy
and exemplary punishment.
