NO PLACE FOR IT IN AMERICA
Speech at Praise Service at Cleve-
land, Ohio, Yesterday.
EULOGY ON PRES1D N 7


speaker at the praise service held in Cieve-
land Thursday. He said, in part:
"On Friday last the President of the
United States, having responded to an invi-
tation to attend the exposition at Buffalo,
and taking part, delivered an address, ex-
pressing with great force and beauty the
supremacy of the victories of peace over
! those of war, and in rarely felicitous Ian
guage voicing the hope that the nations OF
the earth might dwell together in unity.
He was about to close his visit by meeting
the people at public reception, as has
been his won't on many occasions. On his
way to the reception a friend expressed to
him the thought that meeting so many reo-
pie might make unusual demands upon his
strength. He replied that the people had
ever been kind to him, and it was pleas
ure to meet with them, and he found great
satisfaction in their expressions OF couf1-
dence and esteem.
with these sentiments on his lips, at
time when the country was in profonnd
peace, when prosperity abounded on all
hands, when his worth and ability and gen.
tie kindness had endeared him, 1t was be-
lieved to all his countrymen, without
warning he was stricken from the fuliness
of health to the portals of death itself
Such an Attack Seemed Impossible.
Such an attack upon such man, under
SuCn circumstances, III d CouhIlS lihC ooto .,
seems almost impossible. Other Presidents
have been stricken in the excitement fol-
lowing a great civil strife and when the
evil passions of disappointed partisanship
were rife That man thus blameless
could be attacked so must needs make us
pause a moment and reflect. 1t affords to
the people of this country another lesson
as to their duty in dealing with those VINO
encourage upon American soil the growth
of nrinciDlpS which make
such attacks possible. We nave been
taught that if we sow the wind we shall
reap the whirlwind.
"It is one of the sayings of the Presi-
dent thought worthy of emphasis, that
there are no classes in this fair land of
ours.
"There must be no place under our flag
for the propaganda of the doctrines of the
anarchists.
Laws must be enacted which shall visit
upon such criminals with just and sure
punishment, not only the pupil, but the
teacher of such theories must be reached
and punished. The advocates of it's awful
tenets must be kept from our shores; its
principles must be torn, root and branch,
from every foot of our domain until its
adherents learn that to attack the govern
ment through its highest official is one of
the most heinous of crimes, sure to meet
with swift and terrible retribution. Let
there be no nook corner of the civilized
world in which it can hide and call itself
safe.
Eve are not met on this occasion to dis
cuss ways and means by which these ends
are to be reached. We know that the
American people will insist that everything
be done which the law can do to make
repetition of such horrors impossible.
Regret His Absence.
1.-THE regret that he cannot be with his
comrades upon this great historic occa-
sion is as much felt upon his part it
is upon yours His first real experience
in life breaking in upon his college days,
was with the Grand Army of the Republic.
Who shall say that in the duties, hard
ships and privations of that service, the
foundations of a great character may not
have been securely laid. He belonged to
that noble regiment which has given to the
country another President, great general
and justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Upon the authority Of one Of his COM
rades we have an incident which showed
even In those early days the qualities which
have made him equal to the great occa-
sions with which his career has been
crowded. When Gen. Early had attacked
the federal army near Winchester and
driven it back William Mckinley. riding
through Winchester with Gen. Hayes his
chief, noted at the roadside an old lady
down whose face tears of sympathy were
flowing at what she believed to be a great
disaster to the Union arms.
offered Words of Cheer.
1.-THE young officer drew up his horse and
said to her: Cheer up; have no fear We
shall be back this way again. In a few
days the prophecy was made true, and the
victorious army of the Union swept back
through Winchester, driving the enemy
from the Shenandoah valley. These great
traits-kindness of heart and confidence in
his cause-have ever been characteristic of
him. Today the world knows the story of
his life, and his place in the history Of the
country and of the world is secure. We re-
joice that his days of usefulness are not
ended. We rejoice above all that to the
people of this state, who have so long
known and loved him, his life remains for
our guidance and comfort
There are many In the audience who
know that, no matter how high he has adj
vanced on fortunes crowning slope he
has ever retained those endearing qualities
which have made him, while one of the
strongest, the gentiest of men and the
kindeSt Of neighbors and friends
I'VE may well feel assured that no words
of good cheer will be more welcome on his
journey back to health than those which
come from this gathering Of his friends in
this great state and city and from his old
companions In arms.
Let us fervently hope and pray that the
day Is not far distant when we NAV look
