that no further coinage Of The silver dol

ing from fortnights visit to Ashland and
other points on Lake Superior. After pay
ing an earnest and eloI IIent tribute to Gen.

form is not yet an established fact, an asso-

timated, Mr.. Hendricks, in various newspa-
pers, that there is not that cordiality and
salneness of purpose between President
Cleveland and yourself that would natur-
ally be expected to characterize the first
democratic administration in twenty-five
years.
We'll, as To that, it is the invention
principally of diSatfected representative Of
ficers on the one hand, and the suspicious
and con lectures, and often times libels of

in such statements. Our relations, when
we meet, are decidedly cordial. have not

The Funeral Train.

ALBANY, n. Y. July 5.-From the time
of the arrival of Gen. Grants remains yes
terday till + o'clock this morning $1,000 per-
sons viewed the remains. At 10 o'clock it
was estimated that 100000 had passed by
the casket to view the face of the dead gen.
eral. At II 80 the remains were borne from
the capitol to the funeral car and taken
thence to the depot and placed in the car
'Woodlawn,' amid bells slowly tolling and
guns booming. The train was constituted
and occupied as follows: First, locomotive:
second, baggage car; third funeral car,
"Woodlawn"; fourth, car containing the
sons of the general with the Rev. DR.. New
man and DR.. Douglas: fifth, General Han
cock and staff; sixth, Governor Hill and
staff and committees of the house and SEN
ate, twenty-five in number; seventh and
eight, New York committee of 100: ninth,
car of public information: tenth and eleventh,
the regulars under command of Colonel
Beck and Major Brown. At the instant
the train started the dirge came up from
the band Of the Jackson corps that stood in
the line and saluted. Hundreds of per-
sons standing nearest the track laid coins
on the rails to have them flattened by the
wheels of the train that carried General
Grant on his journey. On the roofs of
houses in the vicinity hundreds witnessed
the start, and as the black train rum
bled across the long bridge of the Hudson
it was between two
DENSE LINES OF PEOPLE,
who filled the foot paths on either side.
There was no clang of bells, no scream of
