EXPRESSIONS OF SORROW.
Among the public expressions Of sor-
row are the following:
Judge Grubb-
He was born and bred to believe
that it is the duty of the more highly
gifted and favored among men to in
etruct and help their less fortunate
brethren. Accordingly he even felt that
he had a mission on earth to teach the
truth as he saw 1t, and to strive in his
public and private relations to achieve
10 the utmost of his abilities and OPP
pOrtunities the greatest possible meas
ure of usefulness in his day and genera
tion. Whilst those who knew him best
may disagree as to the correctness Of
some of his views and actions, none
will deny the honesty or the courage Of
his convictions. He never consciously
compromised with error by the sacrifice
of truth, nor proetituted his conscience
by protesting faith he did not honest
! ly hold. But he ever, with unflinching
courage, proclaimed what he truly be-
lieved, and dared to do what he Deem
ed right, regardless of other considera-
tions. In doing so he naturally evoked
the hostile criticism Of men both with
in and without his own party. But as
time passes on, and an impartial view
of his career and life work is taken,
the misrepresentation and injustice he
had suffered will be corrected, and his
true place as one of our country's most
honorable, useful and eminent patriot
statesmen, accorded him."
Bishop Coleman
"As the bishop OF the diocese in
which Mr. Bayard was born and in
which he had lived the greater part OF
his life, have felt especially grieved
} in hearing OF his death. His many ginte
and attainments and his irreprOachabls
personal character have served tC
strengthen the Church in Delaware, II
whose welfare-especially as to tn,
venerable parish to which he belonged
he has always shown a lively anO
, practical interest. l join with my fel
low-citizens in lamenting the close o
+ a career so honorable and useful, ant
illustrative of the best features o
American patriotism
