FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1901.
As soon as it became known that the owa Democrats intended to realiirm the Kansas City platform most of the candidates for places on the state ticket prudently withdrew their names.
THAT hoary old anarchist. Iierr Most, f-aiel something when he declared that W. R. Hearst's newspapers were as much to blame for Czolgosz's crime as Emma Goldman. Both should be suppressed.
THE farmers of the west have replanted their vegetable gardens since the drought disappeared, but they took the precautions to get their seeds from the country store rather than from the members of congress.
MR. SWEENEY, who has been tbe leading negro Democrat of Indianapolis for years, has left that party, and in a letter to Mayor Taggert gives his reasons. The only surprise is that he ever joined the Democratic party.
While Mr. Bryan denounces Anarchy in a dispatch to an eastern paper, ho shows small calibre by holding out the insinuation that Czolgosz was attempting to right a "public wrong." Mr, Bryan should be more specific or else keep still.
LOUISVILLE Times: Up to date about forty "only correct pronunciations" of the assassin's name have been printed. They range from "Chollygosh" to
Shawlgotch." The sooner we can dispense with the philologists by calling the little whey-faced scoundrel a corpse, the better
'When Colonel Bryan says''! would rather be right than be President," he tempts an irreverent critic to use the retort ex-Speaker Reed once made to
Representative Springer, when the latter indulged in a house debate, in the same grandiose sentiment: "Well, there is no chance of your ever being either."
CHINESE MINISTER WU suggesls Chinese punishment for Czolgosz. He would have the fellow stripped of his clothes and given one thousand slashes with a sharp salre, only the last one being a blow t.o kill. Mr. Wu goes a little too far, however, when he suggests that all of the relatives of the wretch be treated the same way.
MR, BRYAN is not only opposed to Hill, but he is hostile to all the other aspirants belonging to what is technically known as the Cleveland element of the party. If any of them gets the nomination in 1904 Bryan can be relied on to oppose him. There are many ehrewed Democrats who are saying that if a pronounced Cleveland Democrat should be nominated three years hence, Bryan will either accept a nomination from the opposing section of the Democracy. or he will take the stump against the Cleveland candidate. This is an eventuality which the Democratic politicians must1,keepconstantly in mind. A man like Tom Johnson, whom Bryan would support, would be antagonized by hundreds of thousands of conservative
Democrats, while a reorganizer would be sure to arouse the hostility of the Bryanite contingent. In any case the Bemocracy is confronted by a sea of troubles, but by taking up arms against them it wiil not be likely to end them.
ST. LOUIS Globe-Democrat: The Goldmane, Moste, Czolgoszes and the yellow papers have been playing into each other's hands. All alike denounce Presidents as despots, imperialists, the tools of millionaires, the bloodsuckers of honest toil. Emma Goldman made a speech in Philadelphia, in which she said: "My creed is that of force. I propose that a monster parade of the downtrodden workingmen pass the houses of the capitalists who rob them, and should this not have the desired effe«t, resort to force." She advised men who had nothing "to take the ^read denied them by capital from •. the bakeshope, and meat from the butchers. I believe that anarchy will govern in the end. We want a revolution in this country before it •an prosper." When this demon appeared again in Philadelphia the authorities stopped her meeting, and for this act the yellow paper denounced the mayor as & lawless, stupid despot, and said he was provoking force as a reply to force. The yellow press in tba United States Is the main prop of the •oidman# and the Caolgosze»,

M'KINLKY IS STRICKEN
While Holding: a Public Eeception at Buffalo tin President Is Shot By An Anarchist.
Two Wounds Inflicted One ot Which May Prove Fatal—The Miscreant In Jail.
Buffalo, Sept. 7.—President McKinley
WHS
shot and seriously wounded by
a would-be assassin while holding a reception in the Temple of Music at the Pan-American exposition a few minutes after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. One shot toou. effect in tlie right breast, tlie other in the abdomen. The first is not
01'
a serious nature,
and the bullet has been extracted. The latter pierced the abdominal wall nnd has not been located. The president is rallying from the shock and is resting coimortably.
It was a few moments after 4 p. in., while President McKinloy was holding a public reception in the great Temple of Music on Pan-American grounds, that the cowardly attack was made, with what success time alone can tell.' Standing in the midst of
It was just after the daliy organ recital in the splendid Temple of Music that the attempt was made. Planned with all the diabolical ingenuity of which anarchy or nihilism is capable, the would-be assassin carried out the work without a hitch, and should his designs fall and the president survive only to Divine Providence can be attributed that beneficent result.
The president, though well guarded by United States secret service detectives, waB fully exposed to such an attack us occurred. He stood at the edge of the raised dale upon which stands tlie great pipe organ at the east side of the magnificent structure. Throngs of people crowded in at the various entrances, to gaze upon their executive, perchance to clasp his hand, and then light their way out in the good-natured mob that every minute swelled and multiplied at all the points of ingress and egress to the building. The president was in a cheerful mood and was enjoying to the full the hearty evidences of good will which everywhere met his gaze. On his right stood John C. Milburn of KufJalo, president of tho Pan-American exposition, chatting with the president and introducing to him especially persons of note who approached. Upon tlie president's left stood Mr. Cortelyow.
It was shortly after 4 p. m., when out of the throng which surrounded the presidential party, a medium sized man of ordinary appearance and plainly dressed in black, approached as if to greet the president. Both Secretary Oortelyo* and President Hilburu noticed that the man's hand ww nwathed in a bandaja or handkerahiwf. President McKinloy smiled and bowwd and extended his hand in the spirit »f geniality the American people so well know, when suddenly the sharp crack of a revolver rang loud and clear ob&ve the hum of voiaes. There was an toskuat of almost complete silauctt.
rI^e
president stoed stoek still, a leek df hesitancy, almost of bewilderment, oa kis face. Then lie retreated a step while a pallor began to steal over his lteftt*r«s. The multitude, only partially aware that sometliing serious had Happened, paused in surprise, while nacks were craned and all eyes turned one to the rostrum. Then came a eomiDottoB. Wim the l*up of a tiger thre« man threw themselves forward, as wiUi wia impulse, and sprang toward tbe womld-be assassin. Two of tbeM w«r« Wnited States secret service mta wk» were on the lockout and
whose duty it was to guard against1 Just such a calamity as had befallen the president and the- nation. The third was a bystander, a negro, who had only an Instant previously grasped the hand of the president. As one man the trio hurled themselves upon the president's.assailant. In a twinkling he was borne to the ground, his weapon was wrested from his grasp, and strong anirs pinioned him down.
President McKinley, after the first shock of the assassin's shot, retreated a step, then, as the detectives leaped upon his assailant, he turned, walked steadily to a-chair and seated himself, at the same time removing his hat and bowing his head in his hands. In an instant Secreiary Cort'elyou and President Milburn were at his side. His waistcoat was hurriedly opened, the president meanwhile admonishing those about hint to remain calm and telling them not to be alarmed. "But you are wounded," cried his secretary. let me examine." "No, I think 1101." answered the president. "I am not badly hurt, I assure you."
Nevertheless his outer garments were hastily loosened and when a trickling stream of crimson was seen to wind its way down his breast, spreading its slain over the white surface of the linen, their worst fears were confirmed.
A force of exposition guards were quickly 011 the scene by this time, and an effort was made to clear the building. Spectators crowded down the stairways from the galleries, and the crowd on the floor surged forward toward the rostrum, while despite the strenuous effort :i tlie police and guards the throng without struggled madly to obtain admission. The president's assailant in the meantime had been hustled to the rear of the building by exposition guards, where he was held while the building was cleared. and later he was turned over to Superintendent Bull of the Buffalo
lice department, who
to No.

crowds numbering thousands, surruuiul£ (1 by every evidence of good Sviil, pressed by a motley throng of people, showered with expressions of love and loyalty, besieged by multitudes, all eager to clasp his hands—, amid these surroundings and with the ever-recurring plaudits of an army of sightseers ringing in his ears, the blow of the assassin fell.
The patient stood the operation well, and his condition at the conclusion of the operation was gratifying. The result cannot be foretold, but his condition at present justifies hope of recovery. Mrs. McKinley, who was at the Milburn home when her husband was conveyed there, bore the shock bravely and displayed the utmost fortitude.

station and afterward
to police headquarters. As soon as the crowd ill the Temple of Music had been dispersed the president was removed in the automobile ambulance and taken to the exposition hospital, where an examination was made.
The president: retained the full exercise of his faculties until placed 011 the operating table and subjected to an anesthetic. Upon the lirst examination it was ascertained that one bullet had taken effect in the right breast just below the nipple, causing a comparatively harmless wound. The other took effect in the abdomen about foyr inches, lelo\v_the_left nipple, four inches to the iefl. of the navel an, about on a level with it. L'pon arriVjj^at the exposition juispit.'il the second bullet wfis probed for. The'Valls of the abdomen were opened, but the ball was not located. The incision was hastily closed, and after a hasty consultation it was decided to remove the patient .to the home of President Milburn. Arrived at the Milburn residence, all persons outside the medical attendants, nurse and oflieials immediately concerned were excluded, and the task of probing for the bullet which had lodged in ihe abdomen was begun by Dr. Roswell Parke. The abdomen was opened through the line of the bullet wound. It was found that the bullet had penetrated the stomach. The opening in the front wall of the stomach was carefully closed with silk stitches, after which a search was made for a hole in the back wall of the stomach. This was found and also closed in the same way. The further course of the ballet could not. be discovered, although careful search was made. The abdominal wound was closed without drainage. No injury to the intestines or other abdominal organ -was discovered.
Lieon Czolgosz, An Anarchist Living at Olcvelimd. Buffalo, Sept. 7.—Leon Czolgosz, the self-confessed assassin, has signed a confession covering six pages of foolscap, which states that he is an anarchist and that he became an enthusiastic member of that body through the in fluence of Emma Goldman, whose writings he had read and whose lectures he had listened to. He denies having, any confederate, and says that be decided on the assassination of the president 1hree days ago and bought the revolver with which the act was committed, in Buffalo. He has several brothers and sisters in Cleveland. CzolgossL does not appear in the least degree uneasy or penitent for his action. He says he was induced by his attention to Emma Goldman's lectures and writings to decide that the present form of the government in this country was all wroug and thought the best way to end it was by killing the president. He sh-'-ws no signs of insanity hut is very reticent about much of his oareer. While acknowledging himself an anarchist, he does not state to what branch of the organization he belongs,
Czolgosz lias a father living on a farm about eight miles from Cleveland. He is unmarried himself. He wear's a button and claims to be a member of the "Golden Eagles." Czolgom is 28 years old, stands 5 feet 9 inches high, weighs 1C0 pounds, has brown hair, blue eyes, smooth *ce, regular features aud prominent nose. He speaks very good English.
