arevolutionary propaganda.It embodies a menace of nationaldisintegration and destruction.\"—Garret A.Hobart  \n1900:THELASTPRESIDENT  \nCHAPTER 1  \nThat was a terrible night for the great City of New York—thenight of Tuesday,November 3rd,1896.The city staggered under theblow like a huge ocean liner which plunges,full speed,with terrificcrash into a mighty iceberg,and recoils shattered and trembling like anaspen.  \nThe people were gathered,light-hearted and confident,at theevening meal,when the news burst upon them.It was like a thunderbolt out of an azure sky:“Altgeld holds Illinois hard and fast in theDemocratic line.This elects Bryan President of the United States!”  \nStrange to say,the people in the upper portion of the city madeno movement to rush out of their houses and collect in the publicsquares,although the night was clear and beautiful.They sat as ifparalyzed with a nameless dread,and when they conversed it was withbated breath and throbbing hearts.  \nIn less than half an hour,mounted policemen dashed throughthe streets calling out:“Keep within your houses;close your doors andbarricade them.The entire East side is in a state of uproar.Mobs ofvast size are organizing under the lead of Anarchists and Socialists,andthreaten to plunder and despoil the houses of the rich who havewronged and oppressed them for so many years.Keep within doorsExtinguish all lights.”  \nHappily,Governor Morton was in town,and although adeeper pallor overcame the ashen hue of age as he spoke,yet there wasno tremor in his voice:\"Let the Seventh,Twenty-second,and Seventy-first regiments be ordered under arms.\"In a few moments hundreds ofmessengers could be heard racing through the silent streets,summoning the members of these regiments to their Armories.  \nSlowly,but with astonishing nerve and steadiness,the mobspushed the police northward,and although the force stood the  \nonslaught with magnificent courage,yet beaten back,the dark massesof infuriated beings surged up again with renewed fury and strengthWill the troops be in time to save the city?Was the whispered inquiryamong the knots ofpolice officials who were directing the movementsof their men.  \n1  \n1900:THELASTPRESIDENT  \nAbout nine o'clock,with deafening outcries,the mob,like afour-headed monster breathing fire and flame,raced,tore,burst,ragedinto Union Square.  \nThe police force was exhausted,but their front was still like awall of stone,save that it was movable.The mob crowded it steadily tothe north,while the air quivered and was rent with mad vociferations ofthe victors:\"Bryan is elected!Bryan is elected!Our day has come atlast.Down with our oppressors!Death to the rich man!Death
