In his speech At Worcester Saturday
night senator Hoar spoke Of General
Garfield as follows:
my fell0w-eiiizens, 1 say 10 you that
one Of the 1--WE or six supreme moments
Of my life, when II seemed rs though
the delights Of great periods Of time
were crowded into an instant, n Of
these was when, out Of the confusion
and tumult which had prevailed. came
the result, rs the ballot was slowly an
nouneed, to which the convention
came. Yes, the nomination OF Gen.
Garfield. accepted rs Il Is in the begin
ming by all shades and classes Of repub-
licans and patriots, win grow In favor
A the canvas goes n Think Of the
qualifications for the ONCE which that
man combines. DO you want . states
man In the broadcast sense Of the wordS
Do you demand n successful SOLDIER
Do you want 4 man OF o experience
In civil affairsY No president Of the
United States since John Quincy
Adams has begun 70 bring To the presi-
Dental ONCE, when he entered, any
thing like the experience In statesman
ship Of Gen. Garfield. As you look over
the list, Grant, jackson and Taylor
have brought TO the position great fame
~ soldiers, but who since John Quincy
Adams has had such n ciyil career 10
look back upon rs Gen. Garfield Since
1884 I cannot think OF one important
question debated In congress or dis
cussed before the great tribunal Of the
American people in which you. cannot
find the issue stated more clearly and
better than by anyone else in the
speeches, In the house Of repre-
sentatives, or on the hastings, Of
General Garfield = firm and resolute,
constant in his adherence 10 what
be thinks Is right, regardless Of popular
delusions or the fear that he will be-
come less popular, or be disappointed in
his ambitions. Just remember when
republicans and democrats alike Of
Ohio fairly went crazy over the finan-
cial heresy, this man stood rs with his
feet on n rock, demanding honesty in
government. About six years ago I sat
by the side OF an Ohio representative.
who had an deliberately prepared table,
showing that the west was being cheat
cd, that Ohio had not a. many bank
bills TO the square mile rs the east, and
that the southwest vas ven worse OF
than Ohio. In regard TO the great
questions Of human rights he has stood
infexible. The successor Of Joshua r.
Giddings, he Is the man on whom his
mantle may be said to have descended.
Still he Is nc blind partisan. The best
arguments In favor Of civil service re-
form are found In the speeches Of Gen.
Garfield. He Is liberal and generous In
the treatment Of the south, one Of the
foremost advocates Of educational in
situations In the south ut the national
expense. Do you wish for that highest
type-the volunteer citizen soldierp
Here 10 n man who enlisted ut the be-
ginning OF tho war; from \ subordin-
ate officer he became q major general,
trusted by those best of commanders,
Thomas and Rosecrans, always In the
thickest Of the tight, the commander OF
dangerous and always successful expo
ditions, and returning home crowned
with the laurels OF victory. With
out the attributes Of rank or wealth he
has risen from the humblest to tho
loftiest position. There is something
touching and simple In the story Of the
canal boy and carpenter, like that Of
Lincoln and Of Webster, which appeals
to every affective chord in the heart Of
the American citizen"
