1t is somewhat remarkable coincidence
that Rhode Island, the smallest state in
the Union, should have had six senators
die in harness, and Connecticut, another
little state, eight, while neither New York
nor Pennsylvania, the greatest states, has
had one. In this death roll the observing
reader will already have noted the names
of Stephen A Douglas, "The Little Giant"
o. P. Morton, of Indiana; Zach Chandler,
of Michigan; Fessenden, of Maine; Charles
Sumner; Baker, of Oregon, who fell in bat
tie; John c. Calhoun, Matthew Carpenter
and Andrew Johnson. Perhaps the most
pathetic name in the list is that of John A.
Logan. Men of all parties and factions
agree that had Logan lived he would have
realized the ambition of his life by ascend
ing to the presidential chair.
think have at least succeeded in show
ing conclusively that more than few Of
fee holders die and that very many resign.
