mourned by all nations. Says the Pail Mall
Gazette "There is scarcely one Englishman
in 1000 who has not read the news of the
death of President Garfield with regret as real
andaas deep as if he. had beenza ruler Aof our
own. A communion of sorrow unites the
ocean-sundered members of the English race
to-day more. closely than it has ever been,
united since 1776.n The London Euening
Standard says: "The deep grief is shown by
all the English speaking population.r Saysthe
London Globe: "Grief is nowhere more poig-
nant than in England, and it is intended to
hire one Of the largest and most important
halls in London for q demonstration of SYM
.pathy." Says the London Times - g The death
of President Garfield is regarded as hardly less
than national calamity. In al ranks, from
the Queen to the peasant, there is most
heartfalt sympathy for the bereaved widow and
injured nation. The career, of President Gar
field is of kind which appeals to the best
feelings and most cherished traditions of our
people.
