spect for the brother from whom he
differed. In the hour OF a triumph
that would have turned any weaker
mans head. In the heat OF a struggle
which spurred many a good man to
dreadful vindictiyeness, he said
truthfully that so long as he had been
in his Office he had never willingly
planted thorn in any mans bosom,
and besought his supporters to study
the incidents of the trial through
which they were passing as philoso-
ply from which to learn wisdom and
not as wrongs to be avenged; ending
with the solemn exhortation that. as
the strife was over. all should reunite
in common effort to save their COM
mon country.
His Blood Shed for the Union.
He lived in days that were great
and terrible, when brother fought
against brother for what each sim
cerely deemed to be the right. In
a contest so grim the strong men who
alone can carry 1t through are rarely
able to do justice to the deep convic-
tions Of those with whom they Crap
pie in mortal strife. At such times
men see through a glass darkly: to
only the rarest and Hottest spirits are
vouchsafed that clear vision which
gradually comes to all, even to the
lesser. as the struggle fades into dis
lance, and wounds are forgotten. and
peace creeps back to the hearts that
were hurt. But to Lincoln was given
this supreme vision. He did not hate
the man from whom he differed.
weakness was as foreign as wicked
ness to his strong gentle nature; but
his courage was of quality so high
that it needed no boIstering OF dark
passion. He saw clearly that the same
ties, the same courage, and willing
ness for self-sacrifice, and devotion
to the right as 1t was given them to
see the right. belonged both to the
men of the North and to the men OF
the South. AS the years roll by, and
as all of us. wherever we dwell. grow
to feel an equal pride in the valor and
self-devotion. alike of the men who
wore the blue and the men who wore
the gray, so this whole nation will
grow to feel a peculiar sense of pride
in the mightiest of the mighty men
who mastered the mighty days; the
lover of his country and Of all man.

and controlled by a fine and high
moral sense.
We OF this day must try to solve
many social and industrial problems,
requiring to an especial degree the
combination of indomitable resoIu-
ton with cool headed sanity. We
can profit by the way in which Lin
coin used both these traits as he
strove for reform. We can learn
much OF value from the very attacks
which following upon that course
brought upon his head. attacks alike
by the extremists of revolution and
by the extremists of reaction. He
never wavered in devotion to his
principles. in his love for the Union,
and in his adherence OF slavery.
Timid and lukewarm people we're all
ways denouncing him because he was
too extreme; but as a matter of fact
he never went to extremes. he
worked step by step; and because of
this the extremists hated and de-
nounced him with a fervor which
now seems to us fantastic in its dei-
fication of the unreal and the impos-
sible. At the very time when one
side was holding him up as an apos-
tie of social revolution because he
was against slavery, the leading abo-
litionist denounced him as the slave
hound of Illinois" When he was the
second time a candidate for president,
the majority of his opponents attack
ed him because of what they termed
his extreme radicalism, while min

measure fortunate in the characters
Of the two greatest of our public men,
Washington and Lincoln. Widely
though they differed in externals,
the Virginia landed gentleman and
the Kentucky backwoodsman, they
were alike in essentials, they were
alike in the great qualities which
rendered each able to render service
to his nation and all mankind such
as no other man of his generation
could or did render. Each had lofty
ideals. but each in striving to attain
these lofty ideals was guided by the
soundest common sense. Each pos
sessed infiexible courage in ADVERSE
ty, and a soul wholly unspoiled by
prosperity. Each possessed all the
gentler virtues commonly exhibited
by good men who lack rugged
strength of character. Each possessed
also all the strong qualities common
ly exhibited by those towering mast
ers of mankind who have too often
shown themselves devoid of so much
as the understanding of the words by
which we signify the qualities of
duty, of mercy, of devotion to the
right. of lofty disinterestedness in
battling for the good of others. There
have been other men as great and
other men as good; but in all the his
tory of mankind there are no other
two men as good as these. no other
two good men as great. Widely
though the problems of today differ
from the problems set for solution to
Washington when he founded this
nation, to Lincoln when he saved it
and freed the slave. yet the qualities
they showed in meeting these prob
lens are exactly the same as those
we should show in doing our work
today.

Thousands Of people arrived here at
an early hour this morning for the
purpose Of participating In the exer-
cises of the day and evening in hon

coin. The city is gaily decorated in
bunting. and thouands OF flags are
flying in the breeze, and when the
hour for the exercises arrived the
streets OF the city was thronged with
visitors from the country. adjoining
cities, and men eminent in the ma
tons affairs, and representatives OF
foreign countries. Among the other
arrivals were Ambassador Jusserind
of France. Senator Dolliver Of Iowa
and party Of Washington officials.
VIM. Jennings Bryan, the great com
moner, and Ambassador Bryce OF
England arrived in the private car OF
Lincoln, now owned by the Pullman
company. Governor Deneen presId-
ed over the meeting. and VIM. Jen-
nings Bryan delivered the address OF
the day.
Bryan's speech.
Bryan in his address dwelt upon
Lincoln's greatness as an orator, and
commenced with the statement that
'Lincoln's fame as a statesman and
as the nations chief executive in its
most crucial period has so overshad-
owed his fame as an orator that his
merits as a public speaker have not
been sufficiently emphasized. He
then proceeded to show that his ora
tory had been a potent factor in his
career and that no other American
president SO clearly owed his eleva-
ton to the presidency to his oratory

He then proceeded TO analytic

Had Hard Common Sense

Lincoln saw into the future with
the prophetic imagination usually
vouchsafed only to the poet and the
seer. He had in him all the lift
toward greatness of the visionary,
without any of the visionary's narrow
jealousy of the practical man and in
ability to strive in practical fashion
for the realization of an ideal. He
had the practical mans hard COM
mon sense and willingness to adapt
means to ends: but there was in him
none of that morbid growth of mind
and soul which blinds so many prac-
tical men to the higher things of
life. No more practical man ever
lived than this homely backwoods
idealist; but he had nothing in COM
mon with those practical men whose
consciences are warped until they
fail to distinguish between good and
evil. fail to understand that strength,
ability. shrewdness. whether in the
world of business or of politics, only
serve to make their possessor more
noxious, a more evil member of the
community, II they are not guided
