clear and discriminating judgment in de-

dividually and collectively, to have been
associated with a chief officer of such
marked ability and purity of character,

citizens of great nation, the death of
one of the ablest, purest and best of
| its public servants, whose long public ca

in the senate of the United States, has been
distinguished by eminent ability and great
| simplicity and purity of life.

with the children and grandchildren of

reavement, and tender them our heartfelt
