OF the assassination itself and Of the
scenes succeeding it 1t is unnecessary
to speak here. All this has become a
part Of the folklore Of the race. At
this length Of time, however, three
things stand out prominently-the sor-
row Of the private soldiers, Of the ne
groes and of the plain people In
Washington, along the line traversed
BY the funeral train in its journey to
Springfield and in the shops, fields and
churches Of the entire north and even
Of the south the grief Of the average
man was such as he showed only for
those nearest and dearest to him. 1t
was the personal nature Of the be-
reavement that was its most notable
feature Twice since Lincoln's day
have presidents been assassinated
Both Of these were beloved, and their
deaths were deeply lamented. The
mere trappings and panoply Of woe
were as great in either case as In his.
But it was the poorest and humblest
who were touched to the heart at Lin
coins death. Indeed, from that aspect
nothing like 1t has been seen in human
history. There has been woe over the
passing Of rulers before and since, but
the personal, actual, stupefying grief
Of the masses has never been manifest
In the same degree.
