day afternoon the following resolutions were
| adopted:
The sudden death of Hon. William Window
Secretary Of the Treasury, in New York, on the
evening Of the 18th instant, shortly after he had
concluded an address Of exceptional vigor and
merit on pending questions OF the highest i'm
|
| try, calls for an expression Of our profound
and poignant sorrow over the sad ending Of
patriotic and noble life. Mr.. Window has
| for nearly quarter Of q century been SO con-
| spicuously associated with the legislative and
| executive departments Of the government Of
| the United States that his name and person
| have become familiar to the people of this CITY
and District, while to many Of MS he has long
been bound in the closer ties of friendship It
| is, therefore, under the burden of q personal
grief that we have assembled to attest our sense
of the deep affection which has fallen upon our
selves in common with all our countrymen,
and that We now resolve and declare:
/. That for the eminent and valuable public
| services Of Mr.. Window, both O. legislator and
chief Of the financial and monetary depart
| ment OF the government, we are ever ready to
| assert our most grateful appreciation. He has
proved himself, under the repeated tests of a
| long and successful career to have been prac-
| teal statesman Of the highest order, with
views sufficiently liberal and comprehensive to
| embrace his whole country, and with an in
dustry 90 persistent and untiring and q judR-
ment SO clear and sound, yet withal % wise and
| tolerant, ms to secure for those views the most
useful and efficient application. Undeterred
! by the admonition of dangerous infirmity he
| gave with unremitting devotion his utmost
| strength Of mind and body 10 the discharge Of
| his public duties, and lol q great and brave
leader at last lies dead in his harness."

and the surviving members Of the cabinet Of
