4 TALK WITH SENATOR HARRIS.
Washington Special to the Cincinnati CONNER
cial.

Washington Special to the Cincinnati CONNER
cial
Senator Harris, of Tennessee,
gives the facts as to the failure to
elect a President pro tenn, of the
Senate last spring He says: at
was reported (whether true, or not,
I don't know, that the Republican
senate had in caucus determined,
when we had a majority because of
the resignation of Messrs. Conkling
and PIatt, that they would vote for
me, or consent to my election to the
position of President pro tenn. of the
Senate. At all events l was APP
preached by a number Of Senators,
among whom were Democrats and
Republicans, with the proposition to
elect me President pro tim. [ said
to the Democrats that Mr.. Bayard
being the senior Senator of the then
majority party, was, by the uniform
usages of the Senate, entitled to the
position, and that before any action
could be taken in the premises /
would consult Senator Bayard, as |
recognized and respected his rights
in the matter. / went to Senator
Bayard and told him that / had
been approached by number of
Senators with the proposition to
make me President pro TEN. Of the
but that | recognized his
rights as the senior Democratic
member, and would not allow my
name to be used in that connection
except with his full consent and APP |
prevail. He said to me II must |
think about it before / can give a
decisive answer" to which l res
pended, every we'll, think of it,
and from that time to this this sub
iect has not been mentioned be
tween us. But the Chair was never,
as some have thought, vacated,
therefore the right to elect never
ievOlved on the Senate.
In response to the question as to
what the country may expect from
President Arthur's administration,
Senator Harris says: "He is bold,
rank man, of decided opinions, and
las courage enough to act upon his
He is an ultra Repub-
lean, who will administer the Gov
,rnment upon Republican principles,
,ut will mislead or deceive no one
" any act or utterance of his. The
,reat interests of the country are,
md will be as safe under bis admin
stration, as they could be under the
administration of any Republican.
Senator Harris and President
Arthur are warm personal friends,
he former having been a guest at
Arthur's home in New York,

Arrangements had all been completed
for the reception of the remains at the
! depot for an hour before tue train ar
| rived, and the casket was Immediately
placed in a large hearse, which was
massiVcly draped in mourning. 1t was
drawn by four jet black horses, with
black broadclOth neck and body blank
cts, trimmed with deep silver fringe.
Each horse was lead by a eolored
| groom. The first to alight from the
train were Gen. Sherman and staff
They formed parallel lines along the
platform, betweeR WHICH the immediate
members of the family of the l8te Pres
ident walked, two by two, to the carri-
ages which were in waiting for them.
Mrs. Garfield, her son Harry and her
daughter Mollie first entered 2 carriage.
AS Mrs Garfield passed down the plat
form, leaning on the arm of her son.
and accompanied by Secretary Blaine,
every eye was upon her. She was
closely yelled, but her face could be
easily seen. Her expression WAS some
what careworn, but firm, and she exhib-
tied remarkable fortitude as she passed
through the thrOngs Of people about the
depot.
A MEMORABLE SCENE.
Tic streets were literally packed with
people. Great credit is due to the au-
thorties for the good order which pre-
vailed. Thousands of persons occupied
etlnds erected for the occasion, and
thousands of others witnessed the sad
scene from carriages.
Inquiries were made all along the
route of the march for General Grant,
many persons thinking that he had &C.
cOmpanied the funeral party. Secretary
Blaine was also an object Of marked at
tention, and "Where is Blaineg" could
be heard at intervals all along the line.
The march was almost devoid of Incl
dent, everything passing off quietly and
orderly. Most of the floral offerings
which were exhibited in the rotunda of
the Capitol were brought here and
placed about the casket and the cata-
falque.
Shortly after the remains were PLACED |
on the bier on the catafalque Governor
Foster announced, at the request of
Mrs. Garfield, that the coffin would not
be opened. The scene throughout the
city tonight is very fine. Electric lights
are numerous. especially about the pub
