cally differed with him in his political
creed.
ITO that large group, who knew him in
the intimacy of social life, his taking off
will bring a grevous sense of irreparabe
loss. In his death the country loses sa-
gacious statesmen whose departure will be
mourned by oil his political associates
without regard to party affiliations"
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock said:
"AIr. Hobart's death is both an indvid-
ual and a national loss. No man ever fill
ed an office more acceptably to his coun-
try and to his government. Those asso-
ciated with him in administrative affairs
have lost a wise counsellor, whose every
impulse and action was based on a love
of country and a complete discharge Of
duty"
Postmaster General Smith says:
"With Mr.. Hobart's magnetic attributes,
he united large capacity and sound judg-
ment In the Senate he exercised a very
exceptional influence by his rare tact and
his great sagacity. His death is a blow to
his friends and loss to the public coun-
ellis"
Secretary Long said:
THE death of the Vice President is a
great national sorrow. He had peculiarly
impressed himself upon the regard and
confidence of the people. hear on an
sides that no man has filed the position
of Vice President, presiding over the Sem
ate with more ability and acceptance. In
addition to this is a very strong hold he
had personally upon everybody with whom
he came in contact The delightful rela-
tons which existed between him and the
people, and their mutual confidence was
almost unprecedented"
Secretary Wilson said:
THE Vice President made a marked i'm
preston on the country during his brief
period of official life. His training had
prepared him for presiding over the Sem
ate. The usefulness of our public men
depends in large measure upon their prep
aration for the discharge of official duties
In addition to this Vice President Hobart
was a kindly man, genial man, a lovable
man. His office has the reputation of be-
ing perfunctory, but he magnified II and
made himself useful to the people,"
Members of both the Senate and House
who ere in Washington also eulogized the
dead Vice President
Senator Daniel said:
IT was a great admirer of the Vice Pres
ident, and consider the death a loss to the
entire country"

Washington. Nov. 21.-The Secretary of
State now OCCUPYING a unique and double
station in public life, was percepubly and

liarly amiable and delightful character

by his friends as a man of singular purity

In sorrowing testimony of the loss which

CHICAGO PLATFORM ALL RIGHT.
Members Express No Opinion as to
the Paramount Issue.


Chicago, Nov. 21-The Democratic Ma
tlonal Executive Committee after a brief
session to-day, adjourned sine die to meet
at the call OF Vice Chairman johnson.
Ii was practically agreed among the
members of the committee that meetings
of the executive body via be held every
sixty days and no session probably will be
held before January.
No new business was taken up at to-
days session, the members devoting most
of their time 10 discussion of the general
situation and the outlook in their several
states.
The entire matter of the place and date
OF the national committee meeting was
placed In the hands of Chairman Jones,
who win issue the can. He refused to-day
10 state when the meeting will be called,
but some date in January is favored with
Washington as the place of meeting.
Chairman Jones will leave Chicago for
Washington tomorrow.
The sentiment Of the members of the
committee was unanimous that the DEM
ocratic National Convention will indorse
the Chicago platform in It's entirety, and
that antitrust and anti-imperialistio
planks would also be adopted. None was
willing to express an opinion as to the
paramount issue in the campaign.
"A convention can adopt a platform,
but 1t cannot create a paramount issue,

pie themselves do that. II Is evident.

LIFE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT.
He Was n seIf-Made Man and One of
Unusual Ability.

Washington. Nov. H.-Garrett A. Ho-
bart was eminenlly successful. both in
business and politics. His reputation as
a man of affairs and one of the shrewdest
business men in the country, was per-
haps greater than his reputation as a po-
litical leader and statesman until his
election to the vice presidency three
years ago.
Mr.. Hobart was born June 3, 1871, at
Long Branch, N. J. His ancestors on his
fathers side were English and on his
mothers side Dutch. Thirty-three years
ago he was graduated from Rutgers Col
lege and began teaching school. Three
months later he entered upon the study
of law with Socrates futile, a prominent
lawyer in Passac county, who was at
that time Mayor of Paterson.
Young Hobart is said to have arrived at
Paterson with but dollar and fifty cents
in his pockets, and from this small begin
ming he made his way unaided to wealth
and prominence. In 1869 he was admitted
to the bar, and the same year he married
the daughter of Mr.. futile.
Mr.. Hobart made his way rapidly to the
bar of his native state, and his bent led
him early into politics. In 1871 he was
made city counsel of Paterson, and In 1872
was elected TO the state assembly, OF
which body he was chosen Speaker In the
following year. Even during these early
years he displayed that accurate knowl-
edge of men and exhibited that wonder
full executive ability which We're the key
of his later success, both in business and
politics.
At the end of his second year In the as
sembly he retired to devote himself to
the law, and to the numerous business in
terests with which he had become idenE-
fed. But the demands Of his party would
not admit Of his remaining long IN pri-
vate life, and in 1876 he was elected 10 the
state Senate, of which body he was chosen
president in 1881. During his service In
the Senate he was chairman Of the Judi
ciary Committee, and was the author OF
many measures Of Importance which are
now on the statute books Of the state of
New Jersey
His party became more and more exact
ing In It's demands upon him. He was
recognized as a safe and guiding hand.
and from 1880 to 1891. he was a the head
Of the state Republican organization Of
New Jersey, and, as such, planned some

OF the most brilliant campaigns conducted
by his party in the state.
From 1884 To 1896, he was a member Of
the National Republican Executive Com

His keen insight into affairs made his
ADVICE and counsel of such value. mat he
was sought after by some of the largest
corporations in the country and at the
time of his election as Vice President. hs
was director in no less than sixty dir
ferent companies.
Probably the greatest business honor.
which ne attained, was his selection as
one OF the three arbitrators of the Joint

Old Cameron mansion adjoining the site
OF the historic old Seward house on La

Socially the Vice President and his
charming wife divided the honors with

and charming personality made him very
popular not only in the Senate over which

Mr. Hobart left but one child, Garrett A.
Hobart, Jr., a boy of IA. Fanny, a girl of
p, died in 1895 in Italy, whire there with
her parents.
Mr.. Hobart was a popular presiding Off
Ger and a good parlimentarian. 1t had
been the habit Of most Vice Presidents to
refer closely disputed points of order 10
the Senate for decision. Mr.. Hobart. how
ever, usually decided all such questions
himself, especially IL they involved parlia-
mentary law, and the rules did not pro-
vide for decisions by the Senate. He was
quick i'm disposing of business at his desk
and proceedings were never delayed
through any indecision on his part.
His firm and impartial manner won the
