Arrival of President-Elect Cleveland—His Personal Friendship—Many Floral Trib- | ntes—The Rooms Filled With Prom- i inent Persons —The Inter- | ment at Oakwood Cemetery. Fremont, 0., Jan. 20.—Thousands of persons, many of them the most distin- guished in nation and state, gathered here to-day to pay the last tributes to the memory of the late ex-President Rutherford B. Hayes and to participate in the services for the dead. The winding roadway through the | grounds of Spiegel Grove, the home of the departed, had been cleared of snow and all morning thousands passed in continual procession up to the mansion to look upon for the last time the face of the man so often honored by his fel- low men, while over public buildings, churches, stores and many private resi- dences the American fiag draped and bound with black hung motionless in the frosty air and every building bore emblems of mourning. At 9 o'clock the school children of the city, with the national flag at their head and followed by the civic societies of Fremont, passed in along procession through the large dining room at Spiegel Grove where the body lay in state. The plain cedar casket in black cloth rested in the center of the room with no decorations but three palm branches tied with purple ribbons at the foot, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. David T. Nor- ton, of Cleveland. The silver plate bore the simple inscription: RUTHERFORD B. HAYES, J! On the breast rested the decoration of the commander-in-chief of the Loyal legion and on the left lapel of the coat the decoration of the Army of West Virginia. Across the wide window seat stretched a large American flag held in place by bunches of white and yellow roses and wreaths of many col- ored heliotropes. President-elect Grover Cleveland ar- rived at 11:25 o'clock over the Lake Shore. He was accompanied by his private secretary. The train was two hours late and a great crowd had as- sxembled to see him. Company K of the Sixteenth regiment was drawn up in two lines extending from the train to the carriage. Between these lines, leaning on the arm of Col. H. C. Corbin, he marched, followed by Webb and Birchard, Hayes, members of the press and the local entertainment commit- tee. Mr. Cleveland was at once driven to the Hayes residence. At the door he was met by members of the family and to each he gave a hand clasp and spoke afew low words. In the hallway was N. B. Bacon, of Toledo, brother-in-law of the president-elect. The president-elect was assigned toa suite of rooms on the second floor, close by the stairway. Here he expressed himself feelingly on the death of Gen. Hayes. Between the two there was the wa-mest friendship. The presence of Mr. Cleveland is the tribute to a personal friend. It is known that Gen. Hayes had intended to be present at the inauguration of Mr. Cleveland, all plans having been made, and, in Washington Gen. Hayes was to be the guest of Mr. Cleveland and Col. Corbin. The Loyal Legion, of Massachusetts, sent a delegation of distinguished rep- resentatives, who brought with them their banners of the war. This delega- tion stood during the services near the easket, holding the colors which were with Gen. Hayes in the army of West Virginia. Great numbers of floral pieces were sent by friends, most of which, on ac- count of the delay in trains, arrived too late. Among those that reached the residence before noon were a large pil- low of lilies, roses, hyacinths and ferns with the words * Legion of the U.S.” in purple across the face. Four rooms of the mansion were filled with a most distinguished com- pany when the simple funeral services of the dead president began at 2 o’cloci. In the south parlor and the large bed chamber in the rear of it, long oceu- pied by Gen. Hayes, were Presideat- elect Grover Cleveland, the members of President Harrison's cabinet, represen- tatives of the United States senate and house and officers of the army and navy. In the large north parlor and library were Gov. McKinley and his staff, mem- bers of the Ohio general assembly and other representative bodies and friends. In the front hall was grouped a double quartette under the leadership of Prof. Arthur, of Cleveland, a member of Gen. Hayes’ old regiment, which with Mrs. F. H. Dorr of this city, sung the hymns chosen by the family. Rev. J. L: Albritton, of the Methodist Episcopal church of Fremont, standing between the doors of the parlors in the expansive hall, read the twenty-third psalm after a hymn, and was followed in prayer by President J. W. Bashford, D. D., who, some forty-five years united in marriage Luey Webb and. Rutherford B. Hayes, of Chillicothe, 0. Another hymn and the Lord’s prayer repeated impressively and then the G. A. R. religious ritual closed the serv- ices.

McKinley bas taken occasion to say that he still stance by the pol scy of protection, notwithstanding the unpleasant result of the Novem ber election. “Ido not believe in giving up the fight after one engage ment and one defeat,” he exclaims in ourage. wilitary rhetoric. If he means by | nificent, iu other words, but he needs | 1304. Quly four or fire SE this that he believes in continuing the war agaiust free trade and in favor of such a tariff as is necessary to maintain the American standard | of wages and save domestic indus tries from destructive foreign com- petition, then his position will be endorsed by the republican masses. But if he means that the theory | and tendency of the celebrated law which bears his name should be in- | sisted upon in future contests, then his attitude is not that of a majority of the voters of his party. It may be courageous to cling to a measure which has been plainly and decisive- ly repudiated by the country. but it is not good politics. The McKinley law was thoroughly considered dur ing the last campaign, in the light of its practical operation, and the verdict upon it was one of positive condemnation. Its distinguished author and others may honestly think that this was due muinly to misrepresentation and misunder- standing of its provisions aud its purposes, but that does not alter the important fact that as a political ex- periment it turned out to be 2 mel- ancholy failure. The democrats did lie about it, undoubtedly, and many persons voted against it, on narrow | . { and selfish grounds; but’ it defeated | the party that, was responsible for ! it, and that is the point of practical and conclusive importance. There is ample justification for | the belief that a majority of the American people are in favor ofa 'vational and prudent form of pro- tection; but they are not in favor of the kind of protection that McKin- leyism represents. They do not want duties levied simply to increase the profits of manufacturers thet are already fairly prosperous, or to encourage the growth of trusts that regulate the prices of given com modities to their own advantage and | to the detriment of the public. It is a great mistake to suppose that they desire free trade, or reduction of the wages of labor; but they be-| lieve that the tariff might be so ad- justed as to bear less heavily upon them, and yet not introduce the un-! fortunate conditions that prevail in free-trade countries. This is not a mere fancy, but a pronounced con viction, arrived at by candid study of facts and through the experience of daily life. They are inimical to the McKinley law on account of the additions that it made to existing duties and the concessions that it granted to certain grasping interests It seems to them that industries | which have been liberally pretected for twenty or thirty” years, and that are known to be thriving in a high |degree, should no longer be thus | to pag specially befriended; and their view ble.
