The SiSat at Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, September 25th.- As the5
evening passed yesterday, there was but little
di ninu5ion III the throngs that encircled Mont
uuasntal Square. The east and west arches
wsre surrounded by psople who gael iut1k
the cltsfalque aided ny the glare of numsr- s
ous electric lights lnsiia the pavilion were !
six Ksighss Templar and squad Of Cleye
land Grsys on guard dusy. At midnight buts
few ssntinels and woskmen remsined insidsa
the guard lines. Many Interested peopleh
were yet upon the streets on the south side. i
The scens was singularly impressive at thisS
hour. The subdued, almost perfect, sileucs,
the bright glare of lights, the cesseless move y
meHts of the sentinels, the sobbiag of theS
Hl14 through the trees anu SnrupS, =
combined to create a feeling of aweN
il the breasts of the spectators. TheF
massive structure reared 50 quickly in thes
large square seemed the work of a miracle, I
anu the fact that the noble, patriotic Garfield
lsy calmly sleeping his final sleep amid thes
scenes Of his early manhood carried the sads
truth TO every heart. 1t had been a brishtE
and beautiful day. though rather warm. Thes
streets began to bs thronged very early
People poured into the city by every avenues
of approach, and the railways ran eyerys
available car to accommodate the unexam-
pied rush toward Cleveland.
MONUMENTAL PARK,
Where Garfsld's body lies in state, was of
course the center of attraction. A steel wire
was stretched around the ten acres of park,
and soldiers patrolled the walks, keeping thes
multitude on the outside. At 8 o'clock this
morning double line OF militia was stationeds
nearly quarter of mile west of the payii-ss
ion, and similar hne from tue other side to
the east limit of the park. By this route, /
thus marked out by the soldiers, the peoples
were permitted to enter the park from thes
west, pass through the pavilion there, and
four abreast, with uncovered heads, look att
the casket aud remains and then proceed bel
yond the park. It is estimated that nots
less than 100000 people passed taroughss
the pavilion in this manner. At darks
electric and calcium lights iiluninod thes
scene, and people will be allowed to gos
