PAID TRIBUTE
TO Great Man

r T WAS on September 10, 1796,
that Washington issued his fare
well address to the American peo-
pie. As Washington's second
term drew to close the public once
more turned to him with confidence
and affection and would have had him
take the presidency third time, to
keep the government steady in its new
ways. But he would not have the
hard Office again. Then he issued his
final address, which, he said. was de
signed In more special manner for
the yeomanry of the country" and
spoke the advice he hoped they might
take to heart.
When the day came on which he
should resign his office to John Adams
the great civilian who was to succeed
him. there was scene which left no
one in doubt, not even Washington
himself. what the people thought of
the leader they had trusted these
twenty years. A great crowd was as
sembled to see the second Inaugural
ton, but very few of the throng
watched Adams. All eyes were bent
upon that great figure In black velvet,
with a light sword swung at his side.
No one stirred until he had left the
room. to follow and pay his respects
to the new president.
Then they and all the crowd In the
streets moved after him, an immense
company going as one man, "in total
silence" his escort all the way, He
turned upon the threshold of the presi-
dents lodgings and looked. as II for
the last time, upon this multitude of
nameless friends. No one ever saw
him SO moved. The tears rolled un-
checked down his cheek. and when at
last he went within a great smothered
common voice went through the
stirred throng, as if they sobbed to see
their hero 60 from their side forever.

means to blacken his character and
break his popularity with the people.
The custom of celebrating February
22 in honor of Washington's birthday
dates back to 1888. On that day and
year number of gentlemen who ad-
mired him met In a tavern in New
York. One had written an ode and
another brought a list Of toasts. The
celebration at once became popular
and the historian says: March was

But Washington paid no attention to
the willful misconstruction of his most
innocent acts. In 1896 for the first

Office of president was open to COM

chosen by the unanimous vote Of the
electoral college and twice inaugural
ed with the warmest appreciation Of
the whole people.
But the times had now changed. In
1889 and 1892 every man was for him.
In 1876 in every town and city of the
land were men who denounced him as
an aristOcrat. as mOnocrat, as an
Anglomaniac. Yet much as his popu-
larity suffered 1t was still great and
powerful and thousands Of men in the
republican party would gladly have
seen him seated for the third time
but he refused. and on Sept. II made
public his farewell address.
His critics stated that the reason he
