Taylor OF Ohio, the house proceeded to the
consideration of the senate resolution ae-
cepting the statue of President James A. Gar
field. presented by the state Of Ohio. After
briefly eulogizing the many high private and
public qualities which distinguished the
career OF the dead president, Mr.. Taylor
said:
President Garfield stands among the fathers
Of the Republic by the side OF the successors
and in the presence OF some of his con-
temporary patriots. The martyr president
is not far way. In this exalted company
President Garfield IS not out of place. He
has gone to life eternal, but be meets there
only his compgtrioJs. who are standing in
that silent senate of the dead. If life would
recognize the fitness of the association, none
would more readily do so than his old friends.

MIR M'KINLEY
Of Ohio addressed himself more particularly
TO an analysis OF President Gariield's abil-
tiles, as shown by the course pursued during
his long congressional career. He dwelt
especially on Mr.. Garfeld's stand for the
honest fulhllment of national obligations,
and quoted from private letter written by
Garfield in 1878, i'm which he expresses his
fear that the ''Old Nineteenth district will
go back on me on the silver question. +" but
adds: IF IL does, will count it an honor
able discharge" In conclusion Mr.. McKin-
ley said:

Mr.. Geddes of Ohio spoke feelingly of
his friendship with Garfield and of the ad-
miratiOn, love and respect with which he
had always regarded OhiO's dead states
man. Mr.. ButterwOrth paid high tribute
to the head and heart Of the lamented Gar
field, and compared his abilities as leader
of his party with those possessed by Blaine
and Stevens, declaring that Garfield was the
superior of either by reason of his being a
profOunder thinker and possessing a wider
range of experience. He elOquently dwelt
upon the nobility of Gartield's private life
and held it up as an example to be followed
by American youths. 1t would go OH with
the republic when lives like this were for
gotten and the influence of such example
was unheeded. Mr.. PettibOne of Ten
nesSee. a former pupil of Garfield's. bore
witness TO the eminent abilities and quail
ties of his teacher. The resolution was
then adopted. Mr.. Bragg of Wisconsin
made an attempt to have the FitZ-JOhn
Porter bill made a special order for Satur-
day. the 23d. but Mr.. Dunham of Illinois
objected. The house then adjourned.
