From the SIN; In his death the warm
hopes and sympathizlng aspirations Of
whole people are painfully disappointed
and the expectation Of his recovery SO
warmly cherished for so long time adds
now to the pangs Of public regret. All
Americans Of whatever religious faith and
whatever politics. Democrats who opposed
his election and Republicans who reluCt-
antlY supported his election, are shocked
alike by the bloody deed which laid
him low, and have watched during
these tedious weeks around the bedside Of
the patient and accomplishing sufferer
with cordial admiration Tor his cheerful,
manly endurance, and with sincere prayers
that he might be restored TO vigor and 10
his official duties, and indeed the whole
civilized world has watched and prayed
with him. BUTT was not to be. The hand
Of the murderer was too deadly, and at
last his victim has perished, and yet, for q
long period, the presidents illness has
not been lost. The people have learn

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE,
From the Tribune The reaper Death
gathers the brayest and the best After
struggle which has kindled the admiration
Of the world for his heroic manhood Pres.
ldent Garfield has gone. From the still
heights where crime aud pain come not he
looks down upon the mourning Nation,
which he hoped to help by q wise discharge
ot duty. Worthier men than Abraham
Lincoln and James A. Garfield this
country has never seen In high station, and
each was taken early in term OF power and
In the prime Of manhood. Toll and poverty,
hard life and iron fortune had not put out
the fire Of genius. foul disease had spared
them, the deadly bullets Of many
battles had missed the life Of
Garfield, but the shot Of an assassin
took each from Borrowing Nation.
The Presidents death will cause less shock
but far more sorrow than II he had b0en
shot dead the I'd Of July. There has been
time to learn and the Government cannot
be shaken by the death OF any man, how.
ever high, or great or good, hut there has
been time, too, to learn how great and
good man was lifted to the Presidency
by the votesof last November. The great Nd.
ton holds him In its heart OF hearts and
there he will live forever. He is President
20 more. Only four months he held tho
helm, but the work that was done In that
short time will bless the land for ages.
No other administration has ever
done more for the good OF
country than this which had Just begun.
IThe cold and passioness verdict OF his
tory, though II may fnd fault or flaw,
will more than satisfy those who loved
James A. Garfield most, and will place bic
name far toward the highest In the list ot
human rulers.
