HOW CLKVBLAXD GOT .NEWS OF
MCKINLEY'S AWtASHLXATIOX
In speaking of the late Grover
Cleveland's characteristic 'grave
quietness, Jess* Lynch Williams,
writing In tb' April American Maga
zine, claims that this trait- of the
great statesman'expressed comment,
approbation, reproof, applause. He
continues:
"As so Illustration of tbls striking
trait and Incideptally of how the
public olteu misunderstood him, tbe
lollowtng incident of an historic day
will serve. On the afternoon that
President McKinley was shot at Buf
falo, Mr. Cleveland was flsidng with
a friend In a small lake In the Berk
shire*. At about sunset a man was
seen rowing rapidly out toward the
ex-Prealdeut'* boat. 'Mr. Cleveland,’
be shouted aa be drew wttbln call,
'Preajdent McKinley baa been assas
sinated !'
'"The ex-PresIdent did not start.
He simply,looked at the atranger,
too much amazed by this bolt out of
the blue to say anything.
"The man came nearer. ‘I tell
you,’ he repeated, panting from his
rapid rowing. “President' McKinley
lias been ehot—killed!"
"Mr. Cleveland scrutinized
stranger a moment In grave silence
betraying nothing of wbat
thought or felt. Then making, a sign
to show that he had heard and ip-
preclated what the man wished to
say, his gaze dropped to his line
again, though of course, he was
not thinking of fishing -now.
"The bearer ■( bad tidings looked
at the apparently stolid figure of the
silent fisherman.
"You don't seem to he much excit
ed about It ' he muttered, and, put
ting about, rowed alowly to shore.
"Mr. Cleveland waited a little
while, still In profound silence, then
thoughtfully reeling In his line ne
merely snld to his friend. 'Well I
guess we may as well go.' On tho
way to shore hn disjointed his roil
In his careful, deliberate manner, put
it In the case, saying nothing.
At the landing he was met by the
neareet local oorrespondnt for. a
certain New .York newspaper, also
quite excited and not a little erobar-
aseed by nls unwelcome assignment.
‘ ‘I am sorry to trouble,you, elr,'
ho said, 'but my paper wants me to
get two hundred- words from you on
the asaasslnatlon of the President.'
"Mr. Cleveland at first ah<jok his
head. 'Say this.' he Anally answer
ed, ‘that In common with all decent
patriotic American citizens
horrified' by thla report, that I- am
unable to say anything,; Then
turning hastily away he drove off
with hla friend, and for some time
snld nothing'even to him as the enr*
rlnce Jolted over the hilly roads nnd
the sunsst faded. Then suddenly,
ns If they hnd bi-en tnlltlng all the
time, he said aloud. ‘Well, It may
not he true.' Presently he ni)dod
'It may be true that he has been
shot. It may not be true that he has
been killed.' After that there
still a longer jllence'untll dually just
before the end of the drive—It was
now quite dark—he began to talk
(and not the extraordinary preset
once of the conclusion he reached
as a result of hla alow, silent brood
ing upon the momentous tidings)
First of all. he said. If the report
u'ere turtle, 'the thing could hard!
have been done hy a disappointed
office-seeker as in the case of 'poor
Garfield,' for the circumstances
the time wq»re not such at^ to make
that very probable. Nor, he explain
ed, was It verly likely that labor
troubles could have been the Imme
diate cause; there were no strike*
of Importance on at the time. Other
possible agencies' were passed in
review and cast aside a* possible
but hardly probable. ‘So,’ be added
quietly but with the divination of a
seer of old. ‘M McKinley has been
•hot there Is no other explanation
than that It tyw boon by the hand of
some foreign anarchist.' And with
in • tow hours he wsa reliably in-
formed that this precisely was the
easel ..- ~ ..-c'
"lAtor when Ur, MeKtaldy- died
the.whole world. Including, no doubt,
tho stranger In the rowboat, was
surprised and touchej. at the depth
of tooling'shown by this ragged old
atateman -in his public utterance
concerning the nation’s great
lamlty." . .
