The Maine State Association of Washing
ton, D. G..
Learns with unfeigned regret the Death o
Honorable Hannibal Uamlin of Maine

Learns with unfeigned regret the Death of
Honorable Hannibal Hamlin of Maine.
1t shares the feeling of grief which
affects the country in common. Called to
an exalted position in the Nation, in times
fraught with peril to the Republic, he
shared the labors of Lincoln and his con-
Temperatures, in etfecting its preservation;
in all, the upholder of law and a constant
friend of humanity. Among the last
statesmen through whose wisdom the Re
public was saved. his declining years have
been solaced in seeing the fruition of their
labors. In time of war exercising pater.
nal care for the welfare of the country's
defenders. he has been their welcome
guest In the return times of peace.
This association shares in the sorrow
felt by our State. As representative he
was identified, not only with her interests
as part of the Nation, but also with
those which were individual; he was ever
her devoted, earnest and intelligent servant
No cause of hers was so important as to
need more able promoter; none so small
that he omitted his duty in advancing It,
Just and faithful to the country and the
state, he bore strict allegiance to the Re-
publican party. in whose ranks he was
ever found; ana believing that party to
embody the best interest of the Govern
ment, he devoted his energies to its sue
cess. Though Jealous in its behalf, no
hand can point reproachable act done by
him, for it. When advancing age pre-
vented his former activity. its younger
members ever welcomed him to their
council
This association desires to record its
veneration for the man He WAS its
friend. TIE many kindly act, done for
its members will remain unwritten, but
they are stored in memory, always to be
a happy possession.
R'snfred, That this association will
cause this 10 be spread upon its records
and copy to be furnished the family of
the deceased with the most sincere ex-
preston Of confidence in their great be-
resvement.
