began to show signs Of dissolution at 4:SO
this afternoon, and died a.R Ho was con.
scious up to within an hour Of bis death.
He was i'll just one week, bu. not until
Thursday WAS his condition considered
dangerous by his physicians. Thursday
night he failed rapidly, but Friday he ral-
lied slightly and passed fairly comfortable
night. This afternoon his illness took a
critical turn, and he gradually failed and
passed quietly away in the presence Of bis
vile and nieces.
Wendell Phillips was born in Boston,
November 20. 1911. His father was John
Phillips, the frat Mayor OF Boston. Wen
dell graduated at Harvard College in 1881,
and was admitted to the bar in 1854. In
1886 he became Garrison aboli,ionist,
and in 1889 relirqaished Law practice from
unwlllingness to observe the oath Of isalty
to the Federal Constitution. His fi.st nota.
bic speech wss made in Flneuil Hall in
December, 1887, in meeting called to
consider The murder OF R,v. Elijah P.
lovrjoy a. Alton, i'll. From that time till
'shl he was prominent leader and the
NEST popular orator OF the abolitionis.s.
He advocated disuaion as the only road to
abolition until the opening Of the war,
after which he sustained the Government
for similar reason. In 1868 he advo.
Gated arming, educating, and eufrauchisirg
the freedmen, aud for the two latter
purposes procured the continuance Of the
ansi.slavery eociety till after the adoption
Of the fifteenth amendment in 1869. At a
meeting in Faneuil Hall in January, 1875,
called 10 denouuce the Louisiana policy OF
President Grant, Mr.. l'nillips made a
powerful speech iu favor Of that policy.
He lorg advocated woman suffrage, pro-
hibitory liquor laws, and prison reform,
end opposed capital punishment. His
financial views wers set forth in speech
delivered in Bos on in March, 1876. He
delivered numerous popular lectures in
most OF the Northern States, the more
notable being thes, on 'rTbe Lost Arts" and
'Toussaiat lGuverture," cnd funeral culo-
gies on Theodore Parker and John 6rown.
There is no complete edition OF his
speeches. A partial collection has been
publsh in Boeton. His other writings
are scattered through numerous periodicals
and newspapers.
