McKinley assassination sparks reactions and fears
Watauga Democrat relays editorials condemning mob violence after Czolgusz or Czolgosz is sentenced to execution for President McKinley’s murder. The piece cites New York and Auburn scenes of mob brutality, urges lawful swift justice, and reflects on public sorrow as it recalls the late president’s wish for humane treatment of the condemned. It includes several Democratic and Republican voices from North Carolina about anarchists and the national mood. It also honors the memory of Robert L. McGhee, a young Mountaineer who died in Colorado, describing his character and family grief.
