Th pure, upright life and generous good

Tuesday night have nothing to rear from
the verdict of on coming time. IN SOME
r, >pccts the occasion was one OF the most
notable in American history. The only
remaining ex-nlrSidcnt. soon to again
assume the mantle of responsibility,
stood beside the bier of his dead friend
and wcpt in SORROW for him. The TWO
men had some notable qualities i'll com
mon. and of all public men few were
more sincere mOurncrS than Grover
Cleveland, who came and went With
out ostcntation. a great crowd had
gathered ut the depot waiting his ARRIVAL,
but the word wisely passed around by
tho citizens committee prevented any
cheering or display there, and he left us
quietly as he came. Only the serious
threat of personal illness kept President
Harrison away. and his regrets were as
keen at enforced absence as were those
EXPRESSED on every hand by the family,
frirrds and public.

11:o5. He was accompanied only by his
private secretary. The train was two

mittcc Mr.. Cleveland was at once
driven to the Hayes residence. At the
door he waS met by members of the
family of the dead cX-prcSident. and to
each the prcsidcnt-rlcct gave Il hand
clasp and spoke only Il few words. In
the hallway. too. was y. b. Bacon Of
Toledo. brothcl-n-law of the president.
