Excerpt from President Chester An, Arthur: Address by William E. Chandler at Fairfield, Vermont on August 19, 1903, On the Occasion of the Completion by the State of Vermont of a Monument and Tablet to Mark the Birthplace of President Chester An, Arthur Waiting a few weeks ago in the ante-room of President Roosevelt, and noticing the absence of all mere form and ceremony and of all signs of power at the White House, the same as in the days of 1865, 1881, and 1897, it was to me most difficult to realize that I had been very near to and had almost witnessed the shooting to bloody death of three presidents by the foul hands of brutal assassins. Are the unostentatious chiefs of a Republican state, holding their offices for only four years, who are powerless to take away any liberties or privileges of the people, to be no safer from the bullets and bombs of regicides than the tyrant upon a despotic throne, who, if not forcibly removed, may for the whole of a long lifetime Oppress his helpless subjects?
