appointed Tor the senate addresses iu memory
Of the late vice President Hendricks, the gu-
lorlcs Of the senate began to ill atan carly hour.
when thcreioreatu ION Precedent Pro Tcmporc

IN the galleries were occupied thc larger pro.
/ portion OF the oc upants being indies.
Tho hair laid before the senate q letter from
/ the secretary OF tie treasury relating n tue
payment OF saluries of collectors Of customs not
/ confirmed by the senate. The letter was mp
! prupTiatrly referred.
I Mr.Ncurhocs then called up his resolution cN-
prcssivc OF the scunte's deep sense OF pubuc
/ loss in the deHth ot the late Nicc-Pr eidcnt
/ Hendricks Tic resolution having been read,
! Mr.. Voorhees, addressed the senate. For the
/ eminent citizen of the republic, he said, VINO
/ lately full from his place ana VINO
now sleeps in honor In the bosom Of the state
/ nc loved so well and served 50 faithfully, we
I can do no more than has already been done bN
! the tongue and every method which human al
] ieCtloh can inspire. The heavy drapfry OF woe
/ had darkcned alike ho public building, the
| stately palace ana the humble home. The proud
! cOlors OF he Uni u nave dropped at nan mast
/ throughout the United states and In every
civilized land beneath the sun. Eloqucnce In
/ the forum and in the sacred desk has paid It's
/ richest tributes to his exalted abilities and to
| bis stainless character. Tolling bells, the
mOurninl dlrge, the mighty multitude OF
mourners have all attended the funeral OF
! Thomas a. Hendricks and orne witness TO the
deep love and grief with which hc was
lowered into his last resting place.
! All hUnOrs due the most illuBtrlous dead nave
| been paid by the chief magistrate OF the gov.
crnmcnt, by the authorities OF the states and
by unrcstrGmcd affection Of the people. in
the senate, however, we may not be sile {,
even though the cup of honor To his memory be
full to overlooking. In this exalted theater OF
action, here on this brilliantly lighted ioor he
! fulfilled his last ohloiAl engagement aud closed
| his long and illustriOus career.
Then In strong and graphic English Mr.. Noor
hocs reviewed the life aud sciyices OF MI Hen
bricks. In dealing with MIR. Hendricks politi-
cal Views. In Voorhees, said II had been, and
especially late IN his fe, charged as a reproach
AGAINST him that he was partisan liby that,
the sp' aker said, was meant that he sincerely
believed I'm the principles and purposes OF the
party TO which he bel, nged and sought bv All
honorable methods what he believed the public
good by placing its measures and It's men in
control of the government, then the accusation
was true. and the term Of reproach became Il
Just tr bu TO an honest man. 1t was the par
tisan of deep, honest onyictions dealing Justly
with "pposln views, who in all ages of the
world, In every field of human progress, had
led the way
In conclusion, Mr.. Woo hoes sald as long as
| American history treasures up her lives and
faithful public services. as long n public and
private virtue, stainless and without blemish,
Is revcrcd, so long will the name of Thomas
A.. Hendricks he cherished by the American
people as an example worthy of emulation.
Monuments of brass and marble wi ]
the name, but q monument more precious TO
memury and more valuable to the world has al
ready been grounded in the hearts OF the people,
whom he served SO long, so faithfully, and with
such signal ability. - the busy harvest of
death Of the year IL % there was vathered into
eternity no noblcr spirit, no higher Intelligence,
no fniror soul.
