vember might have been different. And so, too, might the outcome of the Til Hayes contesthave been different and thechosen of the people been inaugurated. But the virtues that characterized his private life-and here he enjoyed the alike-marked in large degree his poli- tical career and he would have scorned to resort to the methods used by less scoupulous men who were arrayed against him.
 Like a mighty oak William H. Bar mum stood amid the political storms and wrecks of two decades, and now that he has fallen the tendrils that twined about him lie torn and bleeding. The great party for which he has done so much stands by his bier and mourns for the loss of it's chief. It has sustained a great, an ire parable loss, the shadow of which will grow with the passing years. But with the sense of its own great loss full upon it, the democratic party reaches out in sympathy to the loving wife, the devorted daughter and the stricken sons and tenders them the fullest measure of human consolation for the terrible bereavement that has come upon them. In the presence of their great sorrow the democratic party is respectfully silent for its own irreparable loss.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-05-01
NH III. HARNIM

In the death of William H. Barnum the democratic party has lost its stoutest pillar For years he has been the most able, the most devoted, the most ener- getic worker in the ranks, and 1t was due to him perhaps more than any other one man that the party came back 10 power four years ago after twenty-four years of andering in the political des-
 ert. It mill be many years before the
 democray will look upon his like again.
 It was IS | politician that William H. Barnum was best known. As such he was singularly able. He had remark able facult for judging men and a keen sense of determining the capacity for usefulness possessed by those he chose as his helpers. No man could deceive him he read, as by intuition, his character and was able at once to place him in the sphere where his talents could be made of the most use for the purpose he wish ed to serve Keen, penetrating, shrewd and determined, with an even ly balanced judgment and q splendid reliance on his own powers, with rare tact and suavlty of manner. he possessed wonderful power over men, which he always turned to the promotion of the party s interests with hich he was so closely identified. He was, in truth, most wonderful man, ard one to whom his ,olitical enemies always paid the fiat +a,;nr tribute of fear. No nan in the democracy was more feared by repub- Hcans, and no man was more hated by na,.tisans of the opposing organization. Could any higher tribute be paid to his roiobty ability than the outrageous or,1sa that has been heaped upon him for wears by republican organs and plat eoro, shouters? His name was alway { in inc pages of the former and the
 o,,+bs of the latter when they uncorked their vials of wrath and abuse against .,, aonocracy. Indeed, it is not toe much to suppose that it was used as a buoaboo by republican parents to .;Yh+on their unruly children to alaen But with all that there has never hoen a whisper, beyond the rawlings of rabid organs and bigoted mouth Mowers to connect the name of William m p.rnuna with anything dishonorable or degrading in American politics. Had ..eoood to methods that were em-
 aa .gainst him the result last No
