HIS PLACE IN HISTORY YET TO BE FIXED


No event since the death OF Abraham Lin
coin has deeply touched the nations heart. Mr:
Greeley was greater in his political defeat than most
men are in their greatest victory. - -
He astonished his warnest friendsHand dsarmed the
resentment Of his opponents by the marvellous elo-
auence intellectual resources OF his speeches during
the political campaign which none could have antei-
pated would prove only "a campaign OF DEATH
His BRAIN always worked to It's highest tension could
not endure the enormout additional strain and this,
continued with the demands his always powerful
emotional nature proved too much for even his robust
constitution. The news OF his death produced deep
and unusual OF personal loss and bereavement

constantly manifested in all his writings and speeches

And t Is scarcely too much TO affirm that saving only

"Fame is vapor; popularity an accident;

mutudes in distant lands, and wherever his name Is
spoken IL IS with tones Of respect and sorrow. ,.
