was the most widely-loved man in all the
United States, while We have never had
any public man of his position who has
been SO wholly free from the bitter ami
mosities incident to public life. His po-
litical opponents were the first to bear
the heartest and most generous tribute
to the broad kindness of nature, the
sweetness and gentleness of character
which so endeared him to his close asso-

The shock. the grief of the country. are
dark days While the president yet hovered
between life and death. At last the light
was stilled in the kindly eyes. and the
mortal agony uttered no words save Of
forgiveness to his murderer, of love for
his friends and of unfaltering trust In the

the reckless utterances of those who on

In the same connection he makes
strong recommendations as to how the

congress to enact legislation that will
