servant. whose every impulse in public
life has been for the honor and pros
naritv of the commonwealth he repre-
scented and the good of our common
country. Entering Congress, after
successful practical business life OF

discharge of his important duties know
ledge of the views of the masses upon
public questions, and a thorough under
standing of the material resources ana
industries of his own constituents, thus
DrcpariDg him TO look over the field OF
his labors. and to mtelligently appreciate
the requirements of other sections of the
country. and to skillfully work in the
snbere to which ultimately his labOrs
were directed. The special mission
which seemed by Providence to have
been assigned him has been wrought out
with credit to himself, honor to Yer
mont and with happy results to the
whole nation, some of which results
have been accomplished under peculiar
circumstances, and during the trial
hours If the RenubIfc. It's fitting that
such man should receive at the hands
Of patriotic people the due recognition
of his services by an almost unanimous
call IN fine most honorable position held
