CHARLES a. DANA.

liz OSdbu VI OudElGS IA Odlltt It,
removes one of the ablest journalists
of the day. He was an advanced
representative of the journalists now
two generations past, and has WELD
ed powerful and healthful influence
in moulding public sentiment for
more than half century. Entering
the office of the New York Tribune
in l847, he became a willing CO.
worker with Horace Greeley and
Ealiantly supported the measures
which led to the formation of the
Republican party. After fifteen
years of service on the Tribune, he
retired and was appointed assistant
secretary of war, under Secretary
Stanton which he held until after the
surrender of General Lee. During
the war he rendered efficient and
valuable services to the department,
in his tours of inspection of the con-
dition of the army and its movements
under the various commanders. His
reports were highly appreciated by
the department and had much 1nfiu-
ence with the president and Secre-
tary Stanton. He early recognized
General Grants abilities as military
commander and rendered him his
strong support, which, no doubt, did
much to direct the attention of the
president and his war secretary to
him as the proper commander-in-
chief of the armies in the field.
After the close of the war Mr..
Dana resumed his journalistic career
and after a short editorial service in
Chicago he returned to New York
and in 1867 organized the stock
company which now owns the New
York Sun. and on the 29th day of
January the first number, under his
editorial management. was given to
the public. Ever since then, until
death called him from his labors, he
was actively engaged IN the manage
ment of that great newspaper.
Mr.. Dana had great literary abil-
ties, but it IS through the New York
Sun that he is noted and best known
to the present generation. In the
conduct of his great journal he was
the sole responsible editor and con-
trolling manager. He infused into
its columns his marked Individual
ity. His sterling integrity to prin-
ciples, he never forsook; and hence
the Sun never descended to the use of
the sensational journalism which is
SO discreditable to the papers of the
day. Honest government, whether
national or municipal, found in
Charles A. Dana conscientious and
firm advocate for the right. A giant
in intellect, he infused his own per-
sonality into his advocacy of re-
forms, as well as in his politicaT pol
icies. On national matters he was
intensely American, and was ever a
defender of the oppressed. The
press has lost one of its greatest and
brightest members, and the public an
honest and clean journalist, whose
chair will be difficult to fill.-Walls
