unexpected death of Ex-Governor New
ton Booth. He had known the Governor
great many years, he said, and was a
warm personal friend of the deceased
statesman. He had a sad duty to perform.
he said, and he regretted that he pos
sessed not the eloquence with which TO
express the pain the news of his friends
untimely death inflicted. Being the old
est member of the committee, he deemed
1t his duty to offer some tribute to the
memory Of California's friend. Mr.,
Rhoads then presented the following:
- "A friend of the Union, the State and
our county has passed away-Newton
booth; Words cannot express the regret
we feel at his loss.
For more than q generation the form
and face of Newton Booth has been IA
miliar to the people of our city, county
and State. He was friend of the people
at all times, the champion of the oppressed
mere and elsewhere, the faithful and per-
slstent foe OF wrong in low and high
places alike, the steadfast and eloquent
advocate OF pure Republican principles
IN private and in official life. The peo-
pie, regardless of party, have looked TO
him as leader that they might follow in
times of trouble, confident that he would
conduct them in the path Of safety to
prosperity. AS Republicans we feel his
loss because he was leader tried ana
true.
AS citizens we mourn his demise, be-
cause he was grand eXemplar of what
might be achieved by free man in the
walks OF American manhood. AS pub
Ilc officer his adherence to duty with
honesty and faithfulness were character
1stlc of every official act, either as State
Senator, Governor or United States Sem
Stor, and endeared him to the people.
ranked him among the good men as well
as among the great men of the nation
His independence of character enabled
him to do good openly, even at the hazard
of being called not a straight partisan.
And OF him it might be truly said that,
though party man, he was party unto
himself, and formulated principles by
his actions and his life, his writings and
his speeches, that parties followed and
adopted with profit to themselves and the
people. His death is calamity not alone
TO the people of this city, that knew him
as friend and neighbor, but to the people
OF the entire State and nation, that knew
him as public officer and leader"
1t was adopted by an unanimous vote,
after which the committee adjourned.
