The Sister of Stephen A. Douglas.
Chicago Times.
How many people in Chicago remem-
Der that Senator Stephen A. Douglas had
a sister? And how many who knew it
have kept up their recollections of her?
Such is the penalty of being related to
one of the great ones of earth. Mrs.
A. Granger, now living at Clifton, Springs,
New York, IS the sister, and is nearly so
years of age. She was furnished with
copy of the proceedings of the Iroquois
banquet recently held in honor of the
birthday of her distinguished brother.
Yesterday Mr.. Melville W. Fuller re-
ceived letter from Mrs. Granger, of
which the folling Is a copy: Il desire to
express my thanks to you for the beautiful
tribute paid the memory of my brother,
the late Stephen A. Douglas, at the meet
| Ing of the Iroquois club in the city of
Chicago on the sd of April last, the an
niVersary of his birth. Your words were
doubly gratifying to me considering that
such time had elias ped since he was call
ed from the field of earthly action, show
ing that his ability and manly worth were
lndellbly stamped on the minds and
hearts of his old friends and will be trans
mltted to future generations in such
! truthful tributes as was yours. OF mis-
| political career | am not so competent to
! speak, but as an only brother [ am proud
/ to speak of his many noble qualities
! shown as boy aud man in the home cir
| cle-q ualties of heart and mind that were
] felt and appreciated by ali who came in
contact with him. As | grow older my
! thoughts revert more and more 70 the
! things of the past, and in my minds eye
| | often see Steve and myself trudging
/ barefoot to school, or riding together on
the same sled down the steep hillsides of
| old Vermont, and l can imagine myself
/ again sitting below him as he stood-a
| presidential candidate-address sing an
audience of ten thousand people at this
| place Ill 1860, and as these thoughts of
the past pass through my mind l thank
God that he geve me brother the mem
/ ory whose life affords me so much COM
fort in my old ago. l desire, my dear sir,
not only TO thank you for what you have
said of him, but also to extend my hearty
4 congratulations on the honor recently
1 coferred upon you by President Cleveland
in your appointment to he high position
of chief Justice of tbs United States, and
| 1t Is my hope that you may enjoy many
| years of usefulness in the exalted station.
Again | thank you for your fine but well
