In view of his election to the United
States Senate. we give the following de-
served testimonial TO Reuben f. Fenton
on his re,iral from the Governorship Of
New York. Jan. list:
"Gov Reuben r.. F..nton reiires with
honor to-day. from four years service
a. Governor of the State of New York
The absorbing attention required by our
national politics has. throughout the
Union, Withdrawn public attention in n
great degree from State officers and
State politics. lessening the attention
and prominence due To them on the part
of the press and people. Gov. Fenton's 3
all. administration o: our State Govern
ment. however. has not escaped the
award of popularity it deserved. His
selection by the Convention of our State
as New York's candidate tor fhe Vice
Presidency. and the heavy vote poiled
for him in the Chicago Convention tor
that office, chow that Governor F-nton
retires from his present office backed by
heavy reserve of popular strength
throughout the State.
While Governor Fentons MESA ges
and other state papers have been pre-
ness, and strength. his most valuabl.
quality as an executive officer is his
large acquaintance with men throughout
the State. and his attention to the wants
! of the people, not in the abstract. but
individually. This quality OF his mind
renders him eminentiy representative OF
the masses of the Republican party. He
comes to his own views largely from
contact with men. and they are, there's
for. moderate and toned by familiarity
with the state of public opinion. He has
been a sound. digniiied and trusted Cove
ernor. To whatever position the future
demands of the State or Nation may call
him. he will bring an untarnislied in
tegrity. large executive ability, an en-
larged knowledge of practical life and OF
business affairs, and strong. efficient
common sense.-N. y. 7ribun1,
