THE HANDS OF ANARCHISM.
WattersOn Says They Must Be Met
with Purer Public Spirit.


With Purer Public Spirit.
Louisville. Sept. 9.-"No threat Of i'm
perialism in this country can compare
with that condition which would make
it necessary always TO hedge about our
highest officials with military protec-
ton. But if systematic murder is al
lowed to stalk unreproved over our
land we shall reach period when
armed guards must surround every Of
ficial and even be stationed in our
courts of Justice
These words were the keynote of
resolutions adopted tonight at meet
ing Of 1000 citizens Of Louisville. A de-
r.and was made for vigorous laws
against anarchists and deepest sym
pathy was expressed for President Nc
Kiniey
speeches. were made by W. r. Knott.
editor of the Evening Post, Henry
Watterson, editor of the Courier Jour
nal and others.
Mr.. Watterson, referring to the at
tempt on the life of the President,
said 81.
What must the world of feudalisn,
of nionarchism, of despotism, think Of
it?s If the, hand that struck down
that Emperor of Russia who had given
freedom to the serfs was the same
hand that struck down that Ameri-
can President who had given freedom
to the slaves, shall it be said that there
was anything more sane or logical in
the hand that struck down Garfield
and Carnot and Mckinley? 1t must
be, lit can only be, an insanity born
of something radically wrong in mod
ern ethics, to be punished, indeed-and
punished with death-but to be ex-
tirpated, If extirpated at all, by meth
DDS more far-reaching than the halter
and the AK"
After saying that if Mr.. Mckinley
should die ''he goes as Lincoln went,
a glorious sacrifice to a glorious cause"
Mr.. Watterson asked:
What then ?" and concluded: I'VE
must meet the blood-stained hands of
anarchism, not merely with cleaner
hands, but with purer public spirit.
If not a deeper philosophy. We must
disseminate the lesson that government
exists not for the private gain of any,
nor for the cure of any private grief,
but for justice. the citadel and the bell
tower of the public peace and order.
"All of us this night are Mckinley
men. We pray this night that God will
spare his life"

RELATIVES LEAVE BUFFALO.
so CONFIDENT ARE THEY OF Me-
KINLEY's RECOVERY.

Abner Mckinley Says Relatives Are
So Confident of Recovery They
Have No Hesitation in Leaving.
The Atmosphere Has Undergone a
Radical Change-An Air of Almost
SJOllity Surrounds the Milburn
House-From somber Forebodings
the Feeling Has Changed to joy
full COnfidence-Last Bulletin
Shows Encouraging symptoms.
Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. s.-Af-
ter the $3.50 p. m. bulletin had been is
sued from the Milburn residence to-
night announcing a continuance of the
favorable conditions of the President
there were many indications that the
bulletins were but meager' indications
of the real improvement of the distin-
guished patient.
At 9:45 o'clock Miss Mckinley, a sis
ter of the President; DIR. and Mrs. Her
man Baer, the latter a niece of the

personal friend of the President, who

tonight:
II go back tonight because I have
the most positive assurance that the
President is going to make rapid re-
covery"

entire temper of everybody about the
Milburn residence seemed to have un-
dergone radical change. The police
did not stop wagons from going by the
nearest corner at high speed.
The regular army guard was not so
particular about those who passed up
the guarded street. The newspaper
men did not maintain the quiet that
has prevailed for the past three days.
Even those who came from the man.
sion where the wounded man lay stop
ped on the corner to laugh and chat.
From sombre foreboding the feeling
has suddenly turned to joyful conf
dence that the nations ruler was to
be spared.
At 1850 o'clock tonight the lights, of
the mansion, except those din1ly shin,
ing in the sick room, were extinguish-
ed, and by IL o'clock peaceful quiet
reigned about the Miiburn home. On
the dark corner opposite the house SOL
diers, policemen and newspaper men
kept vigil, however, sheltered beneath
their tents. Z
The $3.50 o'clock bulletin as was
promised, was to. be the last of the
night and while it was brief. attention
was called to the fact that the pulse
was exactly the same as this morning
112-and that the temperature was
eight-tenths of a degree lower, as high
ly favorable symptoms.
Senator Hanna was the last of the
callers at the house. He only stayed a
few minutes, but during that time had
short interview with DIR. McBurney
When he came out he declined to talk
further than to say:
Everything is all right and if the
improvement continues may 60 home

popular even with his own people. His
taciturn disposition and queer ways
isolated him from relatives and friends
and his socialistic tendencies appear
to be regarded as the vagaries of a
weak mind.
