themselves to the commission were happily overcome
by a mutual spirit of Cancellation, and dividing

place at the town of Santa Cruz, in September last
when the whole plan Of operations for tho survey Of

1 President OF the Little Miami Railroad company till
1917. In Congress he was chairman of the Commit
tee on Public Lands, and member Of the Commit
tee on Claims. In all the public trusts committed
to him, he was distinguished for two sterling quail
ties, which have been among the of public
men, who think that merit depends Professions
we mean strict integrity and strong good sense No
man ever knew him to swerve from the very line Of
fidelity and integrity. No man ever knew him to
substitute the fctons of fancy for the dictates Of
reason and intelligence. He no orator. and like
Moses was slow Of speech, and like him too he could
DO relied upon for all that he said He was exactly
unlike many ofthe frothy demagogues who now figure
on the public stage. They place their merit in pro-
fession. He placed his in action. 1t has boon one
ofthe peculier advantages ofOho, that she had
such men as Morrow to lay the foundations of tho
State. They have laid them on the rock of integri-
ty, intelligence and faith. The winds cannot shake
the solid fabric they have erected and it's prosperity
character and strength are the monuments by which
the memory Of Morrow and his compeers WILL We
trust, be long perpetuated.
