The grand monument surmounted by Mer-

ex-Coniederatc veterans standing round with
uncovered heads.
The parade was grand one, consisting of
veteran and young soldiers, cavalry, artillery
and infantry.
On the line OF march in the great parade there
were several intensely interesting incidents.
Gordon OF Georgia, perhaps received the great
est ovatons OF any OF the Confederate Generals
In the line. At one point on Main street he was
recognized by company OF Georgia veterans
and others. A cheer, the "yell" and rush was
made for him. He had to grip the hands OF the
old soldiers, many OF whom shed tears OF Joy for
the privilege Next to Gordon, Longstrect

AN AesENr.MlNpEp MAN.


Ny sweetheart is poet; he is graceful, slim
and tall;
His hair is dark and curly, and it's long;
His face is like saint, he can play and dance
and paint
And he'd charm you with the way he sings a
song.
But hos always in dream, and to strangers he
might seem
rike man without purpose or plan.
Tet he's not so very tame, for he gets there all
the same,
Though they reckon him an absent.minded
man.
The editors oil state that some day he will be
great,
That he Simply runs" where other people
creep;
Though to see him In his wclk, and to listen to
his talk
you'd surely think the man was half asleep.
But he never loses temper and he never seems
to fret,
And money to his pocket freely flows;
That he dom know where IL comes from 'twould
be very safe to bet
And safer that he don't know where IL goes
get so very nervous when he takes me out to
dine
often feel as though I'd like to scream;
For frequently prevent him adding catsup to
his wine,
And stop him putting salt in his ice cream.
Yet he says p am an angel and the star that
guides his life,
And then, YOU know, he loves me all he can;
Though really don't suppose that he ever will
propose
He is such very absent.minded man.

Gilmour, in few we'll chosen remarks
drew lesson from Garfeld's filial devo-
tion.
General Schofield, as "a simple sol
dier who was only trying to do his
duty" paid brief tribute to Garfields
memory. Tho cries for Mckinley were
redoubled at this point. At first no
bowed his thanks and refused to speak,
but as the demonstration was continued
he made brief speech. The popular
branch of Congress, he said, never had
a more majestic leader than Garfield.
Facing the President and speaking with
considerable emphasis, the speaker con-
tinued: "No President since Washing
ton, Lincoln and Grant has ever becn
closer to the hearts of the people than
General Garfield" Applause loud and
long continued followed this remark.

Fellow. citizeEs: The selection for theS- ex-
| ercises of this day. consccrated TO the memory
| of those who died that there might be one flag
of honor and authority in this Republic, Is
most fitting. THIS beautiful and imposing mon
ument fitly typiiies the grand and symmetrical
character of him in whose honor il has been
buided. His was 1.-THE arduous greatness of
| things done" No ladder of preferment was
fashioned and placed by other hands for his
ambition. He framed and nailed the clcats
upon which his aspiring feet rose to the sum
mits of public usefulness ana fame. He did not
cease to be student and teacher when he left
the academic halls. As volunteer soldier
he quickly made himself familiar with tactics
and strategy, and impaired in Il brief army ca
reer some valuable lessons in military science.
He was a profound student Of the political his
tory of his country and one Of the most brilliant
ana instructive of the great debaters who have
appeared in the National Congress. What he
would have been and done in the Presidency is
chiefly left to friendly augury based upon ca.
reer that had no incident of failure or made
quncy. The sudden, cruel and mysterious term
ination of his career had only one amelioration
that space OF life was given him to teach from
his dying bed u great lesson OF patience and lov
honorable repose, while the lesso1s OF his life
will continue TO be inspiring and instructive in
cidents in American history.
There was hearty applause mingled
with cries for Mckinley when the Pres
ident resumed his seat. Vice President
Morton, who was next brought forward,
spoke briefly. He referred to his per-
sonal acquaintance with the dead Presi-
dent, and said that his life was a lesson
and an inspiration to the youth of the
land. The more the people cherished
his memory and needed his lofty teach
ings the better would be their own citi-
zenship.
When General Sherman was intro
duced the cheering lasted for several
minutes. The occupants of the grand
stand rose to their feet and President
Harrison, swinging his hat, called for
three more cheers, which were given
with will.
General Sherman said that in Cali
fornia he was known as a pioneer in
New York as a member of tho Chamber
of Commerce. and in Ohio, thank God,
as plain "Uncle Billy" General Gar
field was the finest type of manhood,
both as soldier and a citizen, that his
memory recalled. He hoped that God
would bless his memory and that the
peopl would stand by those, as long as
they lived, who were true and faithful
in the days Of peril.
Messrs. Wanamaker, Miller and Rusk,
who were next called for, contented
with bowing to the throng,
and declined to respond to vociferous
calls for speeches. Secretary Window
told how, when General Garfield was
near the point of death at Long Branch,
General Sherman had said to him that
If it would restore him to health he
would give up the last drop Of blood in
his body. This brought out moro cheer
ing, and United States Marshal Henry,
Guiteau's executioner, led another
round from his place among the Garfield
veterans. Ex-postmaster Genera James
declined TO make aspeech, while Bishop

CLEVELAND. May LIN the presence
of q vast multitude and with all the
pomp, ceremony and selemnity befitting
the occasion, the memorial erected by
the contributions of grateful country
in honor of James Abram Garfield
canal boat boy, school teacher, soldier,
statesman and President--was formally
dedicated yesterday. OF the tens of
thousands that were gathered upon the
green sward of Lakeview Cemetery
there were many that had iourneyed
from far distant points to pay their last
tribute of respect to the memory of tho
second of Americas Presidents to meet
his death by the bullet of the assassin.
Two-thirds OF the States and Territories
were represented in that throng. Upon
the platform the nation ITSELF in the
person of its Chief Magistrate and three
of his constitutional advisers, lent rec
ognition and countenance to the event,
while over all and as pathetic side to
the picture, the widow and children of
him whom all had met to honor looked
down upon the scene with mingled feel
ings of pride and sadness.
Cleveland looked much as did the
Quaker City at the dawn of tho men,

orations of Thursday had been largely

until flags innumerable and acres of
bunting floated in the breeze. Those
who had predicted fair weather upon
the report of the signal service that a
storm was inevitable were not disap-
pointed. When the sun rose the sky
was cloudless and there was every
promise of dry, hot day. Even at this
early hour there were crowds of people
upon the streets Many of them, in
fact, had sat up all night on the benches
in the public square and on doorsteps in
order that they might secure vantage
spots from which to view the procession
of the day. At five o'clock special
trains from all parts of the State began
to pour their loads of living freight in

to the aepots, and from that hour on a
continuous stream of humanity poured
up the main streets, while the steady
tramp and inspiring music of the
Grand Army veterans, knights Tenn
plar, Knights of Pythias and the State
militia, awoke the late sleepers and
gave inspiration to the preliminaries.
BY nine o'clock pedcstrianism on SUI
perior street and Euclid avenue was
next door to an impossibility. Business
in the city was entirely suspended and
it seemed as though two-thirds of the
quarter of q million inhabitants of the
city had turned out en- masse to frater-
nize with the fifty thousand or more Wis
itors from outside points who, accord
ing to the best estimates, had arrived
within the past twenty-four hours. Still,
however, the inpour from the depots
continued, and the hotels, restaurants
and eating booths were besieged by
took bite and drink so long as they
go it. Meanwhile the various divisions
of the parade had begun to form on the
streets running north and south of Eu-
cid avenue and west from Erie. The
crowds good-naturedly gave way for the
various companies and their ranks were
filled in with commendable celebrity.
just as the hands of the clocks were
pointing to noon, Chief Marshal General
James Barnett gave the word for the
head of the column to move cast from
Fri street.
A trumpet blast and on the moment a
thousand veterans. ten abreast. wheeled
around the corner and up the avenue.
Some were in Grand Army uniform and
some in civilian attire. At their head
they carried two torn, tattered and
faded battle flags, one of which had
cen shot through and through until
scarcely an entire piece the size of
child's hand remained. The thousands
of spectators in the streets, windows
and on the roofs caught sight of the vet
Grams and cheer went up that never
ceased until two hours later the head
of the column, footsore and weary,
passed through tho arch at the entrance
to the cemetery The throng did not
need the inscription on the strip of can
vas that was carried between ranks:
Remnant of the Forty-second Ohio
Volunteers-C lionel Garfields Regi-

Grams were. They were nearly all that

was devoted to the National Guard.
The places of honor at their head had
been assigned to the Sheridan Sabres,
of Pittsburgh; the Washington Infan-
try, of the same city; the jackson Rifles,
of Jackson, Mich, and the Third Rcgi-
ment of the West Virginia National
Guard.
There was a break between the second
and third divisions, but when the First
Cleveland Troop, with detachment of
sailors and marines from the United
States steamer Michigan, came into
view the cheering was renewed with a
will. This was the special escort to the
President and distin guished guests.
President Harrison, with Vice Pres ident
Morton, occupied the first carriage,
drawn by four horses, while in the fol-
lowing vehicles were eX-President
Hayes, Secretaries Rusk and Miller,
Postmaster General Wanamaker, Gen
eral j. ID. Cox, the orator of the day,
Generals Schoficld and sherman, Secre-
tary Window, Ex-Governor Fairchild,
of Wisconsin; ex-Attorney General
Wayne McVeagh Representatives Nc
kinney and Townsend. ex-Governor
Foster, architect George ii. Kelly and
large number of other distinguished
guests The scenes which marked the
progress of this division were repeti-
tion of those accorded the veterans at
its head. Cheers ran from block to
block like volleys of musketry, while
handkerchiefs and flags were waved by
the hundreds. The Presid ent respond
ed to the ovation by re peatedly raising
his hat and bowling until his neck
was stiff and his right arm tired.
The fourth division was composed of
five sections of Knights Templar under
the command of Captain General NJ. J.
Houck, and as they marched along with
martial tread their white piumes wav-
ing proudly in the air and their swords
shining and jewels sparkling in tho
sunlight they presented an inspiring
spectacle. Immediately behind them
came twelve brigades and divisions of
the Knights of Pythias, the uniformed
rank of Odd Fellows, Knights of st.
John, and of Father Matthew, German
civic societies, German Warriors and
Prussian Nerein. Italian and Hungarian
Knights, Bohemian citizens and Catho-
lie Knights A miscellaneous contin-
gent of citizens on foot and in carriages
brought up the rear of the twelfth and
last division. From beginning to end
the parade was nearly thcoe miles in
length.
1t was two o'clock when the head of
the column had passed under the deco
rated arch at the cemetery gate and
twenty minutes later before the Presi-
dent and party reached the grand stand. |
Fully twenty thousand people had al
ready gathered around the memorial,
the parade was still in prog
ress; while those who had been viewing |
it from the thoroughfares poured in like |
a resistless torrent Little time was |
lost in seating the visitors. Mrs. Gar
field, who had given reception to the
President early in tho day, drove over to
the cemetery in advance of the process
sion and, with her dsughter, Mollie Gar
field Brown, j. Stanley Brown, her SON
n-law: Harry Garfield and j. A. Gar
ield, Jr., were seated Immediately be-
lind the orator of the day, with the
President on the right, Vice President
Morton on the left. the members of the
Jabinet supporting them on either side.

field, had boen dedicated to the uses
designed, and proclamation was made
by the trumpeters to the four points OF
the compass. while "The Flag without
a Stain" was rendered The knights
having retired, the Doxology was sung
by the memorial chorus and audience,
and with the pronouncing of the bene-
diction by Rev, II. ID. Powers, d. d.,
the exercises and the events of the day
were brought to fitting conclusion.
1t was six O'Clock before the exercises
were concluded, and well on to mid
night before the last of the vast crowd
had been able TO secure transporta

ing the power OF their lungs, while in
addition many OF the fairer sex, as
block after block was passed, rained
flowers down upon the heads of the little
company.
Immediately behind them came the
veterans of the Grand Army, many of
whom had fought under Garfield at
Chickamauga after his title of Colonel
had given way to that of General. Not
man was missing of the James A. Gar
field Post from the old home at Mentor,
and these too, as they carried ,ife-like
picture of their patron saint between
the battle flags came in for a large share
of enthusiasm. No posts from outside
States figured in this division, but in
that of the Union Veterans Union,
which was next in line, there we're good
sized contingonts from Pittsburgh and
McKeesport. The Sons of Veterans
brought up the rear of the first division
proper.
Governor Campbell and staff, mounted
on magnificent specimens of horsefesh
appeared in the second division, which
