Cowardly Yellow Hypocrites

     On the morning of the assassination the San Francisco Examiner, one of the three papers owned by the proprietor of the New York Journal, had a cartoon representing President McKinley as a minstrel, with black face, singing a coon song, deriding the common people. The next morning the Examiner announced the assassination with the remark that “William McKinley is loved as an American citizen, an American soldier, a simple man devoted to the interests of the people.”
