MASS MEETING EXPRESSES SYM PATHY FOR MCKINLEY. AMeet:ng- Held Here Last Night at Which Sympathy Was Expressed For The President. In response to the call of Mayor Boyden a number of Salisbury's representative citizens assembled at the city hall last night to adopt resolutions of sympathy for Presi dent McKinley, as expressive of the feelings of the people of the city. At 8 o'clock Mayor Boyden called the meeting to order with ringiug ppeecn. He said among other things: "lam proud of the fact that I am an American citizen 1 am especially proua oi the out I. ... a . burst of sympathy from the South over the great misfortune tbat has CODlfl TO 'OUT ITeSiaeni. It satis fies me that once more we are an entirely united people. JNo one has done more to bring about this era of good feeling than Wil liam McKinley." Mr. Boyden then called the meet ing to order and asked Dr. J. G. Ramsay to preside and Jno. M. Julian to act as secretary. Dr. Ramsay upon taking the s chair made an eloquent speech. "I know of no occasion,?' said Dr. Ramsay, "when a country can manifest its sympathy and patri otism so well as on an occasion like this." After referring to the heniousnessof the assassin's crime Dr. Ramsay said: "Assassination has never bent fitted humanity. But we must look not so much to ihliTotsmiieh t'pfcrim eVs" to its prevention. These anarchists must be exterminated or the country will be exterminated. The blow that struck President McKinley was a blow at all organized gov ernment." When Dr. Ramsay concluded Hon. .Theo. F. Kluttz was called upon. Mr. Kluttz said in part: gress, JL shall cbeeriully support any and all reasonable measures for the suppression and preven tion of anarchy. I shall support any sound legislation to extirpate anarchy and anarchism. Why should any man have sought the life of William McKinley ? Iknow of no man who has more nearly represented the Christian gentle- man than he. President McKinley said to me, in speaking of the .Spanish war, 'if it has done noth ing more it has wiped out all bit terness and brought the sections closer together.' I am . proud to know that there has been no sec tion or politics in the sympathy extended the President." Hon. John . Henderson was called upon and said: "The assas- Bin who shot President McKinley had no grievance against him but asrainst the government. It was a blow at social order. I take pleas- ure in testifying to the Christian character of Mr. McKinley. served in congress with him at the time that party feeling ran high and he bore himself well at all times. No section had any feeling of ill will towards him." Rev. Dr. H. L. Atkins, pastor of the First Methodist church con eluded the speech making in a brief but eloquent talk. Dr. Atkins aaid that "we have the best gov ernment on earth.. Recently we have been letting a school of an archists grow up in New Jersey, xre Almighty has Drought our people to a tense of recognition from the danger of anarchy. The stroke of the assassin was a stroks against all government. . It vt not dealt by-W individual but was the result of a1 plan, representing the spirit of some people, n e all sorrow at the sufferings of our President." At the conclusion of Dr. Atkins' sPef ch a committee was appr inted 1 1BftUiUl,UU8 "A yu'i'lu.y The committee appointed was Hon. Theo. F. Kluttz, Hon. John S. Henderson, A. II.
