The intention was 10 make the old chamber OF
the House OF Representatives n gallery IN
which each OF the States should display the
statue Of two OF its greatest sons. The selec-
tions have not been made with good Judgment,
and many of the statues simply ridiculous.
For example, Ohio is represented there by
fairly good statues of Garfield and VIM. Alien.
Now, Garfield was not great a man as Grant,
Sherman or Stanton, and as for Allen he was
merely an ndustriously selfseeking politician,
with very mediocre abilities and stentorian
voice. No one can point 10 a single noteworthy
thing that be ever said or did. except his re-
maFkable success i'm getting elected TO office.
