hold which the glorious old 1Inrtyr-preaidcns
had OF tho affections Of tho American people, tho

his colossal statue, would have removed tint
doubt. Springfield was literally loodod
with peoplo from nll aootious Of tho
country, cngor to participate In tho Inst
great tribute Of the nation to the honored doad.
The natonal colora waved on every house, Aut-
torcd from ery.wndow, crowned every arcl, ,-in
short, occupied eyory possible vantage-place
within tho city limits Men carried thom In their
hats, 80 did somo OF tho ladies. Horses aported
thom oyor thor names, md whichever way the
oyo turned there waved tho flag Of the FREQ
hoar:s chosen homo. Tho streets Of Springfield,
not particularly noticeable for noatpoaa IN ozdi-
nary tlmeE, were well swept, md tho
dust was laid by fortunate sprin-
kle of rain which occurred during
tho preceding night. Tho sun remained club
bornly bohind the clouds, as II Nature herself
