Judge B. N. Smith of the superior court
delivered the Grafton of the day, and it
was frequently interrupted by applause.
In starting the judge said:
When the sunshine of peace is filling
our land with prosperity and plenty, we
may little understand the perils of other
days that tried meme souls and brought
out all that is grand and heroic in hui
man nature.
Twenty eight years ago last month the
clouds of war lifted, the booming OF can
non, the rattle of musketry, the shock
of contending armies, all ceased, and
white winged peace came like a blessed
vision from heaven and hushed to silence
the fierce contending passions of men.
l remember well that day; you, my
comrades, remember it. No tongue can
tell, no heart, now, can feel the Joy that
swept over this whole country when the
end came.
On bright spring morning, in the
heart OF the Old Dominion, in the midst
of all the pomp and circumstance OF
war, beneath the famous apple tree, the
Hannibal OF the south, Gen. Robert E.
Lee, surrendered his sword to the Scipio
Of the north, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, and
the war was over.
We are met today in pursuance of
beautiful custom to Htrew flowers upon
the graves and pronounce eulogy on the
actions of the brave men who died in
that conflict contending for the nations

In 1880, at the republican convention held at
Chicago, Mr.. Blaine was the leading candidate,
receiving on the first ballot 2S4 out of total Of
775 ballots On the thirteenth and fourteenth
ballots his stock rose to 2s5, but dropped again
to 257 on the thirty-ffth ballot The combina-
tion opposed to third term for Gen. Grant
consolidated on the thirty-sixth ballot and se-
cured for Gen. Garfield the nomination.
Mr.. Blaine, as usual, took leading hand in
the campaign and did herculean work. 1t was
an open secret that Gen Garfield's election
was, in no small manner, dependent upon
Blaine's efforts. This Gen. Garfield appre-
ciated, and three weeks after the returns were
in, November 26, 1889, Mr. Blaine was rendered
the secretaryship of state.
Mr.. Blaine accepted the trust on December
20, and received his appointment on March 5,
1881 Secretary Blaine resigned December 10
Of the same year, three months after Garheld's
death
During his short term secretary of state
under the Garfield administration Mr.. Blaine
started his idea of peace congress las an i'm.
portant and impressive step on the part OF the
United States toward closer relationship with
our continental neighbors." The hoped for cul-
minaton of this measure was to both promote
the ends of peace and stimulate American trade.
Gen. Gariield's death brought out Mr.. Blaine's
resignation, ending for time his connection
with public affairs and closing another chapter
In his public career.
HIS LAST GREAT WORKS.
After pronouncing magnificent eulogy upon
his dead friend and chief, President Garfield,
before congress on February 10, 1882, Mr.. Blaine
retired 10 private life, and commenced his his
| torical "Twenty Years of Congress-" Before he
could complete the record of o life work he was
| again called upon by the republican party fol
active service, and on June g. 1884, was nomt
| mated for president by the republican conven'
tion held in Chicago Mr.. Blaine received 54l
votes in the convention to Arthur's 207,
The campaign that followed was one of the
| most hotly contested in the annals OF American
politics. Blainc's canvass was considered the
| work of master, but he was defeated by ,l00
votes in New York state. This meant the throw
ing over of thirty-Six electoral votes to Cleve
land and his being seated through the electoral
college by 2l9 to lS2 votes
The memories of the campaign OF 1888 are too
| fresh In the public mind to need more thar
passing notice 1t was his last campaign IN the
| field, as he took no active part in 1892. His
work since 1889 has been heralded all over tht
world. He was less radical than in 1881 in home
affairs. notably appointments, but more aggres
sive and progressive than ever in foreign rela
| tions.

other consecutive complications which
tended to exhaust him and to hasten
the end. The lapses which he has had
from time to time were due to heart ex-
haustion, that is, feebleness and,irrcgu-
larity of the action of the heart accom-
panied by difficult breathing.
During Thursday nothing of import
ance occurred. Mr. Blaine simply lay
there in feeble condition taking but
, very little nourishment Indeed he had
taken but very little nourishment since
his serious attack of December 1S, and
this has consisted almost wholly of milk.
At no time has he had any difficulty
with his stomach and he has been able
TO digest whatever food was given hiN. {"
Throughout his long illness he has
been able to recognize the members of
his family and physicians While he
has not conversed to any extent with
his family for some time past he has al
ways been able to indicate his wants
very plainly. To the questions which
have been asked him he has always re-
piled intelligently, but in monosylla-
blea"

had been really no hope of Mr.. Blaine's
ultimate recovery since that Sunday in
December but up to within the last
two or three weeks strong hopc had

This alone has shown an extension of foreign
trade which amounts to over SO, 900 900 and at
the same time has reduced taxation SSo, 600
That the idea terminated with the secretary of
state Is conclusively shown through his efforts
In this direction as far back as 1870 or during
his first control OF the State department The
plan has not been unfolded to its covers and
probably will not be as long as every varying
condition must be met, but its possibilities are
demonstrated and its value as factor TO ma
tional wealth and prosperity seemingly fxcd.
Backed by his previous experience with Chile
Secretary Blaine's hand was plainly perceptible
In the settlement Of the Chilean diflculty. The
same pacific policy that was started by him
during tho Garfield administration toward the
South American republics cropped out at every
stage of the delicate negotiations and resulted
in u bloodloss victory for this country. The ne
gotiations that ended In the admission of Ameri-
can meat products abroad were conducted by
tho state department.
Through conservative course Secretary
Blaine arrived at q satisfactory conclusion Of
the international questions arising out of the
New Orleans trouble with the Malta. What
threatened to become rather troublesome In

feelings of the Italian people that no seed OF
hatred remains.

Mr.. Blaine's sixty-three years have been
