Composition of the Column.
| Fully two hours before the solemn march
from the church to the tomb was expected to
start the mass of humanity which had been
flowing since early morning from all directions
into the streets in the central part of the city,
began to seek positions for view of the pro-
cession. Illinois, Washington, Market and Me-
ridian streets, along the entire line. crowded
from wall to curb, and every available position
from which view could be obtained was occu-
pied. Windows and balconies were filled.
and at some points even the house
tops were covered with people patiently
waiting to see the imposing funeral procession
which escorted to their last resting-place the
mortal remains Of the dead Vice-president
Circle Park looked like an island of human
heads, and north on Meridian street, as far as
the eye could see, stretched two unbroken lines
of waiting people. The police management was
remarkably efficient, and without any trouble
some resistance, they were able to keep
the streets on the line of march perfectly clear.
The pomp Of the last honors to the distin-
guished statesman was spectacle of grandeur
such as never before was witnessed in Indian
apolis. The uniforms of the sol
diers contrasted with the black
of the marching citizens like the
mourning drapery of the national colors
hanging about the hearse in which was borne the
remains of the honored dead, and the slow, SOL
| emn march of the music of funeral diYge made
the scene an impressive one The procession
started from the church at ten minutes before l
o'clock. The different divisions fell into line at
the appointed places, and everything moved
in perfect order. There were, it is
| estimated, three thousand persons rep
resenting organizations in the cities and
towns of Indiana and neiehboring States in
the line, and the mourning emblems borne
by many Of these delegations were of a
| character to attract special attention. One
of the most notable was portrait of tho dead
| Vice president, draped in mourning, with black
and white streamers, held by forty eight mem
bers of the Jackson Club. Of Columbus, O.,
marching in square Of twelve The wheels of
| the Light Artillery gun carriages and caisscns
| were wrapped in black and white and presented
| an appearance strikingiy appropriate to the &C.
casion. In every civic organization was borne
some emblem of mourning for the loss Of the
| however, in their endeavors to show honor to
the memory of their great leader had the bad
| taste to carry in the procession their campaign
banners strikingly in violation of the proprieties
| of the occasion.
