president did" not stop to speak, but was driven directly, to the re
viewing stand, where the parade passed.
parade was begun at 10:30 o'clock. and occupied about an
hour and a half in passing. The parade was in charge of Senator
Charles Dick, chief marshal of the day. Senator Dick/ who is suffer
ing from rheumatism, was unable to precede- the parade' on"- horsey (
back, as originally planned, but rode in a carriage.
- President Roosevelt, surrounded by members of the reception
committee, other committees, dlstin
ruished guests^and others, occupied a
central position in the grand stand.
• The parade included troops of the
Twelfth United States cavalry and of
various infantry regiments, McKlnley's
'regiment as guard of honor. Loyal
Legion Grand Army Republic veterans,
Spanish War veterans. Sons of Veterans,
McKlnley clubs of various cities, Ohio
state troops and Masonic, Odd Fellows,
Woodmen, Elks and other fraternal or
ganizations.
PRESIDENT WELL GUARDED.
The section of the city Immediately
surrounding the reviewing stand was
roped off. as were other parts <ot the
•downtown streets, and all \other
routes traversed by the President were
heavily guarded. At this point the
soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder.
and no one was allowed. near the chief
Executive. He was guarded closely by
'secret service men, who walked by the
eide of bis carriage. .
When the parade had finally passed
the reviewing stand President Roose
,velt was escorted immediately to the
Auditorium, where the official luncheon
•was served, partaken of by all the
invited guests. "
Those who rode with the president
from the reviewing stand to the Audi
torium were Vice President Fairbanks,
Secretary Loeb and Governor Harris.
Carriages following contained, among
others, Secretary Cortelyou, Secretary
Garfield, Secretary Wilson. Justice
Day, Major Loeffler. Justice McKenna,
iLleutenant Colenel James, Lieutenant
jGeneral Corbin, Bishop Horstmann,
\u25baJames Whitcomb Riley and John
Mitchell.
After luncheon th^ presidential
party and honored gneßt« proceeded
directly to Monument hill, two miles
; west of the city. The site of the mau
.soleum Is nearly a mile * from the
,ctreet car line, and while the officU.l
party took luncheon thousands of un
official visitors boarded street cars
and walked to Monument hilL This
gave them ample time to reach the
monument by foregoing luncheon.
The crowd was massed around the
central grand stand, to which T>nly
ticket holders were admitted. Both In
the city and at the monument there
private grand stands to which ad
mission was charged at a high figure.
Some of these were authorized by the
memorial committee on condition that
a percentage of the proceeds be de
voted to the national McKinley me
morial association, to be used toward
meeting the expenses of the day.
ARTISTIC MAUSOLEUM *
, The mausoleum stands on an emi
nence to which has been given the
name of Monument hill, about two miles
due west of the McKinley home In the
city of Canton. It Is not an ornate
affair, but Its simplicity is relieved by
sufficient artistic embellishment to
make It an object of beauty, as well
as one of massive proportions and
breadth of design.
Four states have contributed a share
of the material -which has - been used
in the building of the monument. The
granite used in the approaches and the
mausoleum proper, are ' from the quarr
ries of Mllford, Mass. Tennessee has
furnished the gray marble for the in
terior of the tomb, while the sar
cophagi, which now hold the bronze
caskets in which lie the bodies of
President and Mrs. McKinley, are of
dark green gTanlte, from Windsor, Vt.
The base upon which the sarcophagi
rest is black granite, from Berlin, Wis.
From the first step of the approach to
the monument to the actual top of the
structure is 163 feet 9 , inches, the
mausoleum itself being 98 feet 6 Inches
above the summit of the mound. The
top of the dome has an oculus 15 feet in
diameter, through which comes a soft
ened light, which adds greatly to the
beauty of the interipr.
The mausoleum is 78 feet 9 inches In
diameter. In the center of the floor be«
neath the dome stand the sarcophagi,
containing the bodies of the president
'&nd Mrs. McKinley, and in niches on
the north side of the dome are the
caskets containing those of the two
daughters, Ida and Mary, who died In
infancy.
Huge doric columns are placed
around the Interior in such manner as
to appear half buried In the sides of
the building. The floor is of mosaic,
marble having been brought from many
states for the purpose.
Half way. down from the top of the
125 granite steps that lead up to the
main entrance on the south side of the
mausoleum stands an heroic bronze
figure of President McKinley, repre
senting him in' an attitude usually «•
ieutned when speaking — his right hand
holding a roll of manuscript and the
I left hand In the trousers pocket. Be
hind the figure Is a bronze chair en
! circled with a wreath and draped with
the flag of the United States.
Twenty-six acres of ground wer*
purchased by the monument comfnis
slon, and the utmost art of the land
'ecape gardener has been lavished upon
.the' grounds. Natural streams flow
i past the base of the mound, and. trees
|«Lnd flower beds have been arranged
(•with an eye to the greatest artistic
beauty.
GO VERXOII HARRIS^TALKS
- Justice Day called the

Harris Introduced Rev. Dr. Bristol of
Washington, whose church President
HcKlnley attended when in Washing

In part:

SPEECH! OK THE PRESIDENT '
President! Harris then? introduced w the
president of .the ; United ;States,">who de
livered a \u25a0 short" oration 1 on "Apprecla
tlonvof William McKialey." ~ HeT said:
ij. — - — . __ ; : -t-t*;,
"We have gathered together "today
to" pay our meed of respect and affec- •
tlon to the memory of William McKin
ley. who as president won a place- in
the hearts of -the American people '
such as but three or four of all fhe ,
presidents of this country have ever i
won. He was of singular uprightness
and purity of character, alike in. pub
lic and in private life. A citizen who
loved peace, he did his duty faith
fully and well for four years of war
when the honor of "the nation called
him' to. arms. .Ar congressman, as
'governor of his state, and finally as
i president, -he rose to the foromost
j place among our statesmen, reaching
a position which would satisfy the
keenest ambition; but he never lost
that simple and thoughtful kindness
toward : every "hum&n 'being-, great or.
small, lofty or humble, with whom he
was brought In contact, which so en
deared him to our people. He had to
grapple >with more serious and com-;
plex problems than any president'slnce
Lincoln, and yet, while meeting every
demand of statesmanship, he contin
ued to live a beautiful and touching
family life, a life very healthy for this
nation to see In^its foremost citizen;
and now, the woman who walked- in
the shadow even after his death, the
wife to whom his loss was a. 'calamity
more crushing than It could be to any
other human being, lies beside .him
here Inithe same sepulcher.
APPROPRIATE IZVSCRIPTIOX.
"There is a singular appropriateness
in the inscription on his monument.
Mr. Cortelyou, whose relations" with
him were of such close intimacy, gives
me the following information about
it: On the president's trip to the Pa
cific slope in the string of 1901 Presi
dent Wheeler of the University of
California conferred the degree, of
LL. D. upon him in words,., so /well
chosen that they struck the fastidious
taste of John Hay, then secretary of
state, who wrote and asked for a copy
of them from President Wheeler. " On
the receipt of this copy he sent th,e
following letter to President McKin
ley, a letter which now seems filled
with a strange and unconscious pre
science:
"'Dear Mr. President: President
Wheeler sent me the inclosed at my
request. Tou will have the. words in
more permanent shape. They seem to
me remarkably well .-chosen, and stately'
and dignified enough to serve— -long:
hence, please God — as your epitaph.
Yours, faithfully, JOHN HAY.
. "'"University of California, office of
the president: By authority vested in
me by the regents of the University of
California I confer the degree of
doctor of laws upon William McKln
ley, president of the United States, a
statesman singularly gif(^d^ to unite
the discordant forces of .the govern
ment and mold the diverse purposes of
men toward progressive and salutary
action, a magistrate whose poise, of
Judgment-has been tested and vindi
cated in a succession. of national.emer
gencies;' good clti2eri,\ brave" soldier,
wise executive, helper and leader ;of
men. exemplar to his people of the
virtues that build and conserve * the
state, society and the home.
" ' "Berkeley, May 15, 1 90,1." ' : !
TRIBUTE TO THE- MARTYR
"It would be hard to imagine an
epitaph which a good citizen would be
more anxious to deserve or one whioh
would more happily describe 'the quali
ties of that great and • good citizen
whose life we here commemorate. He
possessed to a very extraordinary de
gree the gift of uniting discordant
forces and securing from them a har
monious j action which . told for - good
government. From purposes not mere
ly diverse, but bitterly ; conflicting, he
was able to secure healthful action, for
the good of the state. In both poise
and judgment he roEe level to the sev
eral emergencies he had to meet as
leader of the nation, and like «11 men
with the root of true greatness in them
he grew to steadily larger f stature
under the stress of heavy responsible
ties. He was >a • good citizen and a
brave soldier, a chief \ executive whoso
wisdom entitled him to the trust* which
he received throughout the nation. He
was not only a leader of men, , but
pre-eminently a helper of men; for brie
of his most marked traits was the in
tensely human quality of his wide and
deep sympathy. • Finally, he mere
ly- preached, he , was, ; that' most valu-.
abla of all citizens in • a democracy
like ours, a . man .who in the highest
place served as an unconscious ex
ample to his people of the virtues that
build and conserve alike our public
life, and< the foundation of all public
life, the' Intimate -fitffe of the, home. ;
BROAD jHJ/MAN SYMPATHY
"Many lessons are taught us by his
career, but 4ftone more' valuable than
the lesson .of broad . human • sympathy
for and among all of our citizens -of
all classes and- creeds. No other presi
dent has ever \u25a0 more deserved to; have
his life work characterized; ln Lincoln's
word* as -being carried . onj; 'with
malice . toward none, . with charity > to
ward all/- As a.boy he worked hard
with „ his hands; he entered the ;-'anay.
as a private soldier; he knew ; poverty r
he earned his own: livelihood, and by
his own exertions he finally rose to the
position of a man . of moderate means*.
Not merely was > 'he In personal ;toucn
with ; farmer and \u25a0* town \u25a0 dweller,, with"
capitalist- and wage< worker,: but L he
felt an intimate understanding of each
and therefore 'an ".intimate sympathy

was to try to Judge all by : the?: same
