The convention closed its labors,
after vote of thanks to the officers,
with the adoption of the following
reference to our late President:
But before adjourning we cannot
refrain from giving vent to some of
the feelings that move our hearts.
Therefore,
BE ii resOlUed, That we have watch
ed for ten long weeks, with the most
painful and prayerfuI solicitude. the
struggles for life of that brave, good
and great man, James A. Garfield,
late President of the United States,
on his bed of agony; we have borne
him up in our prayers to the Giver
of All Good, and the Father of US
all. hoping and trusting he might be
spared to us all ; but inasmuch as we
know that He doeth all things well,
and not sparrow falls without His
will, we bow with bleeding hearts in
humble submission to His decree.
ResotUed further, That our highest
admiration has been excited by the
watchful care, noble bearing and
wifely conduct of the brave partner
of his bosom at the bedside of her
suffering, languishing and dying hus-
band, and we tender her our profound
sympathy and respect. We COM
mend her and her weeping children,
in this hour of their anguish, to our
loving Father, who alone can heal
such wounds as theirs whose ways,
though inscrutable to us, yet doeth
all things well and we assure her
He will "temper the storms to the
shorn lambs"
