BAYARD'S TRIBUTE.

Ex-Secretary of State Bayard Pays an
Eloquent Tribute TO the Sterling Van
hood and Public Worth of the late
William Windom, Secretary of fsfe
Treasury.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-A meeting of
the New York Board of Trade a,,d
Transportation was held yesterday TO
take action upon the death of Secretary
Window. Geo. l.. Pease, the first vice.
president, presided. Ex-Secretary Bay
ard was present md paid glowing
tribute to the memory of the deceased
He said:
1 twas the partal1er Of your hospitality last
night. To day am the leader i'll your grief
and sorrow. When was honored by yonr
body with an invitation to come to New
York was greatly grattied when / knew
that Secretary Window would be my COM

upon all, that though men may be opposed to-
each other politically, belonging to different
great parties, they are yet friends. They
ire trying to reach the same ends, but by
different means. was associated with Mr..
Window thirteen years, and there grew up
between us sincere confidence. We both
lad, as public men, the same end in view.
No breath of suspicion was ever cast upon
aim upon his methods. In 1881, an occur
renee of great importance to the
country arose. The public credit
and the agencies that sustained it
were threatened. strong feeling against
the banking system was expressed. Con-
gress had adjourned and those in charge OF
the banking institutions were uneasy. Then
this remarkable proposition to the Govern
ment was made by the creditors of the Gov
eminent, to reduce the rate of interest on the
debt due them and accept different terms for
it's liquidation. This patriotic statesman
and friend did me the honor to come to
me, as of different political
party, to discuss the momentous queS-
ton. We discussed it and you all know
how the National credit was established;
how it was done without cost to the Govern
ment and no finer illustration of financier-
ing can be found than that of VIM. Window.
1t was the very highest pinnacle for man
to reach. Such was one of his services not
measurable by money. He was a faithful
servant to his country. All heroes are not
clad in uniform, neither do they all fall in
battle They die in obscure and quiet places.
VIM. WINDOWS call came last night. His
life had been imperied, serving you and our
land. He is worthy of your gratitude.
Mr.. Bayard referred to Mr.. WINDOWS
connection with the Eads Ship Canal,
and closed by saying: 1--WE all join
in grief for his loss and honor and
respect his memory
At the conclusion of Mr.. Bayard's re-
marks resolutions, eulogistic of the in
fmitable services rendered his party and
country by the late Secretary were
drawn up and adopted.
