Senate [excerpt]
Mr. KEARNS presented a resolution adopted by the city council of Salt Lake City, Utah, expressing sympathy at the death of the late President William McKinley, and favoring the suppression of anarchy; which was read, and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, as follows:
A RESOLUTION.
Whereas the spirit of anarchy has inspired assassination,
and William McKinley, President of the United States, has been laid low as its
victim; and
Whereas in his cruel murder the nation has been
plunged into the most profound grief and mourning; and
Whereas this municipality shares in common with
all other portions of the Union the consequence of this calamity, and in the
general esteem for the noble character, great ability, and blameless life of
our departed Chief Executive: Therefore, be it
Resolved, by the city council of Salt
Lake City, That we regard with horror the bloody dead which has deprived
the Republic of its head; that we join in the general sorrow at his decease;
that we appreciate the grand, heroic, and Christian example his whole career
has furnished to mankind; that we demand swift but legal justice to his assassin;
that we extend our deep and heartfelt sympathy to his loved and loving wife
in her sad bereavement; that we call for measures which shall result in the
extirpation of anarchism and of all organizations that aim at the lives of public
officials and seek to destroy government and social order.
Resolved also, That copies of this preamble
and resolution be sent to the widow of our bereaved and lamented President,
and to the Congress of the United States, and be published in the daily newspapers
of this city.
Presented to and adopted by the city council of
Salt Lake City, Utah, September 24, 1901.
