Tribute to the Dead President From
the Democratic Leader.

4Tribute to the Dead President From
the Democratic Leader.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 1S.-A tribute
dent was given to the Associated
Press during the day: Quoting the
words of Major Mckinley, Goods will
not ours, be done," Mr.. Bryan recalls
! the pathetic scenes at the deathbed
and continues:
4 "The terrible deed at Buffalo, rudely
breaking the ties of family and friend
: ship and horrifying every patriotic cit
izen, crowns a most extraordinary life
with a halo that cannot but exalt it's
victims place in history. While his
8bravery> during the trying ordeal, his
4 Nforgiving spirit and his fortitude in
the final hours give glimpses of his
inner life which nothing less tragic
!. could have revealed.
q But inexpressionably sad as is the
\ death of Mckinley, the illustrious cit
Eizen, it is damnable murder of McKin
Hey, the president, that melts seventy
Save million hearts into one and brings
a hush to the farm, the factory and
&the forum. No one can estimate the
Hfarreaching effect of such an act as
that which now casts gloom over oul
Eland. 1t shames America in the eyes
F,of the world, it impairs her moral
Aprestige and gives enemies of free
government chance to mock at he1
$and it excites an indignation which
&while righteous in itself, may lead to
Facts which will partake of the spirit
Eof lawlessness. AS the presidents
(sdeath overwhelms all in a common
Escrow, so it imposes a common re
y Ssponsibility, namely, to so avenge the
&wrong done to the citizen, his family
and country as to make the executive
8life secure without insecurity to the
Freedom of speech or freedom o1
&presS."

Thousands of People Pass by the Bier
in Double Lines.


AS soon as the rotunda was cleared
.of those who had been invited to at
itend the religious services the bier
was opened for the inspection of the
general public. The floral offerings
which covered the coffin were placed
(aside and the lid of the coffin was
lifted. Some time was required, to
'place things in readiness and it was
1:30 before the crowd that had been
waiting since early morning on the
outside were admitted. AS the coffin
rested on the catafalque it was just
about high enough to permit Of easy
inspection by adults. The crowd en-
tered through the east main door Of
the Capitol and passed out through
the west exit. The people came in
double lines, one passing to the right
land one to the left of the casket.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-The state
funeral day of the late President Nc
Kinley opened as sOmbre as the occa-
sion. The sky was overcast with
dark, slow-moving gray clouds; occa-
sional showers of rain fell, giving way
for momentary intervals to CLEANS OF
dull sunshine, and a soft wind barely
stirred into relief the signs of mourn
ing on building fronts that told as we'll
as the subdued air of the public that
this was a day of sorrow. 1t was the
occasion when the nation was to pay
it's last tribute of respect and admir-
alton at the bier of the dead president.
All the country had sent here it's rep
resentatives to testify that the dead
held his place deep in the nation s
heart. Other nations had ordered
their diplomatic and military repre-
that they mourned with America in
it's loss. Former President Cleveland
was here to take part in the cere'
monies and like President Roosevelt
paid his tribute first in private at the
White House and later at the public
services in the rotunda of the Capitol
The king of Great Britain was present
In the person of Mr.. Gerard Lowther
charge of the British embassy, whom
Edward had specially commissioned
to participate in the services as his
personal representative. Captain
Louis Bailey of the royal navy repre-
sented the embassy. The other en-
bassies and legations likewise had
sent on their representatives. Many
states had
Sent on Their Chief Executives
and part of their stats. All branches
Of the national government, legisla
tive, judicial and military, were rep
resented. Senator Frye, president pre-
tenn Of the senate, arrived from Maine
during the morning. With him was
Chief Justice Fuller of the supreme
court. David B. Henderson, the
speaker OF the last house OF repre-
sentatives, attended as the representa-
tive of the popular legislative branch

AS the hearse moved away, the
, mourners from the White House en-
tered carriages and followed the body
on it's march to the Capitol where the
funeral services were to be held. Tt
was thought early in the morning that
Mrs. Mckinley might feel strong
enough to attend the services there,
but it was finally decided that it
would be imprudent to tax her vitality
more than was absolutely necessary
and so concluded to remain in her
room.
Slowly down the White House drive
way, through a fine, d:'lZzLng rain, the
solemn cortege wound it's way to the
gate leading to the avenue and halted.
Then, with a grand, solemn swing.

and strong.

fire department, who while wait.
ing to get view of the president,
was informed that his house was
On fire. 'Let it burn" replied
this California Nero, II can build
another, but l may never be able
to see a president again." This is
supposed to- be an index of
patriotism-an exhibition ofloyal-
ty to the head Of the empire, call
him what you will. To mon OF
sense it appears like the reply of
a fool. We have heard of men
who had money to burn, but this
is the first instance of chief of a
fire department having a house to
burn. On second thought, this
may be somewhat harsh. The
house may have been thoroughly
insured.

BUT WHAT OF TEDDY?

It is eminently natural that
Perry Heath's interview, booming
Senator Hanna for the presi-
dental nomination in 1904, should
greatly tickle Senator Hanna.
There is probably but one other
development III the political line
which would tickle Mark more
and that would be his nomination,
with the trusts solidly arrayed to
bring about his election. For
you must keep in mind the fact
that no American really makes a
joke of the chance of a presi-
dental nomination if other Ameri-
cans are inclined to seriously
consider him as a desirable candi-
date. Perry Heath is not the only
republican to urge the nomination
Of Senator Hanna. Senator Scott,
a member of the republican
national executive committee, has
but recently made the same sug-
gestion, and these two "booms" for
Hanna have led to a suspicion that
the republican national committee
would like to see Hanna nominal
ed. But isn't all this mighty
rough on Teddy Roosevelt? 1t
was understood when Teddy
graciously consented to accept the
vice presidential nomination that
he was the accepted republican
heir apparent to the presidential
nomination in 1904. And now
comes all this talk of Mark Hanna,
between whom and Teddy there is
not much love, for the place which
Teddy SO strenuously covets.
Colonel Roosevelt climbed San
Juan Hill in his deliberate march
on the White House. Will he
now find the burly Hanna a more
lnsurmontable obstruction.
