Window Institute was dedicated last
Monday at Monyevideo, and ex-governor
McGill delivered the principal address
of the day. It was full of "reminiscences
Of the late secretary of the treasury and
Minnesota's most famous statesman.
Reference was made to Mr.. Windom's
career as follows: He was for 10 years
:. member of the lower house of Congress
and 70 years in the United States Senate.
He was twice appointed to the Office OF
secretary of the treasury, and his last act
was IL sacrifice in defense of the stability
IF the currency of the country. But it
was in Mr.. WINDOWS private life that
the orator found the best and truest evil
dence of his greatness. He was gentle,
kind and loving father and husband, an
accommodating and sympathetic neighbor,
honest and upright to the last degree and
manly always. Compared with Napo-
len and Tallyrand, Gov. McGill found in
his friend two qualities that these great
men lacked. Napoleon was not modest
and Tallyrand was not honest, but VIM
dom, like Gen. Grant, was both. It is
on account of his simplicity and his di-
rectness of character that he was loved
and appreciated most.
