The senator then referred to the Peiham
letter. and he had tried to prevent the
forced retirement of THE governor from the

Chicago, November 21.-The democratic
national executive committee, after brief
session today, adjourned sine die TO meei

No new business was taken up at today's
session, the members devoting most of their
time to a discussion of the general situa-

states.
The entire matter of the place and date
of the national committee meeting was
placed in the hands of Chairman Jones,
who will issue the call. He refused today
to state when the meeting will he called,
but some date in January is favored and
WASHINGTON as the place of meeting.

SKETCH OF DEAD
STATESMAN'S LIFE

Washington, November 21.-Garrett A.
Hobart was eninently successful, both in
business and politics. His reputation as
man of affairs and as one of the shrewdest
business men in the country was perhaps
greater than his reputation as a political
leader and statesman until his election to
the vice-presidency three years ago.
Mr. Hobart was born in 1874, at Long
branch, N. j. His ancestors on his fathers
side were English, and en- his mothers side
Dutch. Thirty-three years ago he was
graduated from Rutgers college, and began
teaching school. Three months later he en-
tered upon the study of law with Socrates
futile, prominent lawyer in Paisac coun-
ty, and who at that time mayor OF
Paterson. Young Hobart is said to have
arrived at Paterson with a dollar and flfty
cents in his pocket, and from this small
begSnning he made his way unaided to
wealth and prominence.
In 1896 he was admitted to the bar, and
I the same year he married the daughter of
Mr. futile Mr.. Hobart made his way rap
idly at the bar of his native state, and this
sent him early into politics. In 1871 he was
made city counsel of Paterson, and in 1872
he was elected to Fhe state assembly, of
which he was chosen speaker in the follow
ing year.
Even during these years he displayed that
accurate knowledge of men and exhibited
that wonderful executive ability which
were the keys of his later success, both in
business and politics At the end of his
second year in the assembly he retired to
devote himself to the law and the numer-
Gus business interests with. which he had
become identified.
But the demands of his party would not
admit of his remaining long in private life
and in 1876 he was elected to the state SEN
ate, of which body he chosen presi-
dent in 1881. During his service in the sem
ate he was chairman of the judiciary COM
mittee, and was. the author of many meas
ures of Importance which are now on the
statute books of New Jersey.
His party became more and more exact
ing in it's demands upon him. He was
recognized as safe and guiding hand, and
from 1880 to 1891 he was at the head of the
state republican organization of New Jer-
sey and as such planned some of the most
brilliant campaigns conducted by his party
In the state. From 1884 until 1896 he was
member of the republican national execu-
tive committee, and had much to do with
the MANAGEMENT of the national campaign
during those twelve years. During all
those years his business connections be-
came broader. His keen insight into affairs
made his advice and counsel of such value
| that he was sought after by some of the
largest corporations in the country, and at
| the time of his election as vice-president
different companies.
| Probably the greatest business honor
which he attained was his selection as one

PRESIDENT M'KINLEY
ISSUES PROCLAMATION

Washington, November H.-After the
cabinet meeting the president issued the
following proclamation:
BY the president of the United States
A proclamation.
To the People of the United States:
Garrett Augustus Hobart, vice-president
of the United States, died at his home at
Paterson, n. J., at $50 o'clock this morn
ing In him the nation has lost one of its
most illustrious citizens and one of its most
faithful servants. His participation in the
business life and law-making body of his
native state was marked 10y answering
fidelity and by high order of talents and
attachments, and his too brief career as
vice-president of the United States and
president of the senate exhibited the loftiest
qualities of upright and sagaciouS states
manship. In the world of affairs he had
few equals among his contemporaries. His
private character was gentle and noble. He
will long be mourned by his friends as
man of singular purity and attractiveness.
whose sweetness of disposition won all
hearts, while his elevated purposes, his I'M
bending ntes rity and whole-hearted devo-
ton to the public good deserved and ac-
qured universal respect and esteem.
In Borrowing testimony of the loss winch
has fallen upon the country 1 direct on the
day IF the funeral the executive ofhces OF
the United States shall be closed and all
stations of army and navy shall display
the national flag at half mast and that the
representa- tives in foreign countries shall
pay appropriate tribute to the fllustrious
dead for thirty days.
In witness whereof I have set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed. Done at the City of WASH
ipgton this 21st day of November, in the
year of Our Lord One Thousand Eight Hun
bred and Ninety-Nine, and of the indepen-
dence of the United States the One Hun
