Mr.. Haskin gave the eventful and romantic

poor and humble who have only the wealth
Of intellect 10 command. They were school
boys together. Mr.. Haskin said, in the course
Of hia eulogy, that Mr.. Broderick won the ad-
miration Of his friends and the respect Of his
enemies. For his energy Of character, integrity
and fidelity to his friends, Mr.. Broderick had
no superior. "
Mr.. Hickman spoke Of Mr.. Brodsrick as
Gods instrument for mighty purposes. Those
that thought less than philosopher never
knew his every nerve was exerted to dignity
labor. 1t might be said there was but one
Broderick to walk tho earth. He was just
and generous, gifted and noble, pure and
patriotic; he raised poverty into rank, proving
the legitimacy of its blood. His fame will DO
as enduring as the record Of public virtue.
Mr.. Stout paid tribute Of respect to his
friend. Fr
Mr.. Burlingame spoke Of his friend az
Democrat, without being demagogus who
loved the people, but never betrayed them,
and after they discovered these traits of char
acter he won their regard. He had an in
domitable energy under tho power Of which
party names and party discipline disappeared.
Men forgot they were Democrats or Republi-
cans, but called themselves Broderick men.
Scornful Of corruption and tyranny, in the
grandeur and purity Of his public and private
life, he saw the very point which made him
the advocate Of the peoples rights.
Mr.. Morris, of ILL.,, spoke Of Mr.. Broderick
raising himself to eminence by his own energy
of character. What had he done that he
should die by the hand of violence? If he
had Been less independent he would have been
Q living man to. day. He was 0 moral hero,
and alike scorned the smiles Of corruption
and power, calling things by their right names.
No Senator, in so short time, ever acquired
so widespread fame. Whom the roll of Cali
fornia statesmen shall be called on the judg-
mont day, and Brodsrick is inquired for, more
than ono voice will reach the ear of Jehovah
saying, Gam my brothers keeper"
Mr.. Sickles said there were very warm feel
ings of attachment for Mr.. Broderick by
many citizens of New York, among whom
his early manhood and youth was passed. He

ocratic party in California.
