name is more highly or honorably as
soeiated with the anti-slayery tri-
umphs of the nation than that-of
Sumner. The debility which caused
his death was occasioned by the brSf-
tai assault of Brooks, in 1856, whSn
his championship of the anti-slavery
cause made him the subject of the
vengeance of the frenzied Southrons.
Almost from its inception Sumner
acted with the Republican party, aud
until few years ago was regarded
as one of its leaders, but his disagree
ment with the policy of it majority,
and his war upon the President, es-
tranged him from the party and it
from him until the relation was no
ways cordial, and. was fast losing
his prestige, as all must lose, who
assume to control a party contrary
to its will.
As a scholar there was not, per
haps, his equal in the Senate, as a
statesman he stood among the fore
most, as an orator he was a man of
power, brilliant, argumentative and
convincing; but as a politician he
lacked judgment. He held his place
by his high intellect, and trusted ev-
erything to his personal power, which
in the end failed him, and the con-
sciousness of his failure doubtless
FASTENED the catastrophe which has
deprived the nation of his valuable
services, by developing a morbid
sense that his great services should
have entitled him to greater consid-
Grafton.
A great man has fallen, and ma
tion sighs farewell.

Death of cbarles snrrer


The illness of Hon. Ghas. Sumner
had been announced without any in
timation of near danger, early in the
present week. It was a return of his
old complaint, brought about by his
senatorial labors, but with no indica-
ton that the country would be called
upon to mourne so soon the death of
one of its greatest scholars and fore
most statesmen. He died on Wed
nesday, st about o'clock, P. M,
and the brief announcement was tel
egraphed to the nation, "Charles
Sumner is dead"
Charles Sumner was born in Bos-
ton in January, 1911, and at the time
of his death was in his 64th year,
He graduated at Harvard in 1880.
