Heart in Politics.
In the course of his remarks thanking
! the committee for the honor conferred
upon him by the resolutions, Gen. Clark
| son said: 81 have spent twenty-five
years in politics, and in my political life
| | have found that in that field can be
| made. and made. the most precious
friendships of ones life. There is more
heart in politics than in any other walk
that men engaged in politics will go
farther to serve a friend than in any
other sphere of mans existence.
In 1884 we had a nard-working COM
mittee and lost. In 1883 we had a hard
working committee, and, to my knOwl-
edge, no campaign was ever conducted
more cleanly, more hOnOrably than the
campaign of 1888. l know Senator
Quay and Gen. Dudley, and l hope
| there is no Republican in this land who
| will ever cease to render due honor TO
those two honorable men who went into
| the hottest fire for the Republican
party and emerged victorious and with
out detraction. l have known many
men-I have a large friendship in the
| United States-and | want to say to you.
gentlemen, that upon my dying bed be-
! fore my family could not name Two men
more to be loved and honored than Sem
ator Quay and Gen. Dudley.
Along shot at Benjamin.
| want to warn you, gentlemen,
against Il growing tendency in the Re-
| publican party, under The hypocrisy OF
! the times, not to defend its party lead
ers. The cases of Senator Quay and
| Gen. Dudley afford vivid examples OF
this practice. They were attacked, not
|
ANYTHING wrong in the campaign, only
| that he won a victory for the Republic
| an party and restored the government
| to an honest basis. The Democrats saw
| in Senator Quay noble Republican and
| began their abuse and a cOwardly Re-
publican press soon became their allies.
! No man who has the good of the Repub-
| lican party at heart can do otherwise
than to put his honest and strong hand
! between this accusation and the gentle
man have just named. So far as am
concerned. II l ever have another boy to
name [ will be glad to confer upon him
the name of Senator Quay, or Dudley,
and this as an evidence of the affection
| | have for the men. In conclusion, L
want to state that no man on this con-
| tinent desires to help elect the Repub-
| lican ticket, or will do more according
to his ability, than l."
Fassett, of New York, was then
thanked for his eminent service to the
| Republican party, and. on motion of
| Senator Saunders, the committee re-
solved to proceed in body to the White
house to pay their respects to President
| Harrison. after which the committee
| adjourned to meet at the call of the
| chairman.
This evening the committee went to
| the White house to call upon the preSl-
dent. The committee were Joined by
the president in the blue room. Chair
man Campbell introduced each member,
and explained that the committee had
