The death of Alexander II. Stephens
removes from the stage of American
politics one of the most prominent fig
ures connected with the memorable
events of the past twenty-five years.
While he never strayed from the fold
of his party and was more than once
forced into political situations by the
pressure of events, against his own judg-
-ment, he was, in the main, loyal to his
convictions and possessed the faculty of
impressing his more conservative views
upon the radical partlzans with whom
he acted. His liberal and independent
course in congress after the war render
cd him one OF the most prominent
and attractive figures in that body
from the south. The fearlessness with
which he stood ~out against the fire.
eaters from his own section went far to
atone for his active sympathy with the
confederate cause, and he succeeded in
gaining position unlike that of any
politician OF his time. HIS undoubted
integrity of purpose and purity of
character caused him 10 be held in cor
dial estimation by the people of the en-
tire country, and the nation in paying its
last tribute TO the dead statesman honors
the memory of the man no less than his
achievements as political factor in the
most memorable epoch of American
history.
