MIR. Hobart was a remarkable man. lie
was uniformly successful as a lawyer

| ability, but of sterling loyalty and non
esty. His death is a loss to the nation
| irrespective of party.
New York, Nov. Ex-senator Mason Of
Illinois today said: 1.-THE death of Mr..
Hobart is a very serious blow to the
party and to the nation. A serious dow
to the party, because he had elements OF
sound judgment and great consideration
for the opinions Of ithers, which made
him a peacemaker and kept the party
united; a great loss to the country De-
cause as presiding officer Of the senate ne
transacted public business promptly, and
! frequently avoided the flibustering tao
| tics by kindness and consideration for
those senators who were inclined to de-
! Law business. Personally, l feel his loss
because at the time was first nominated
j for the house of representatives ! had a
| very bitter contest in my district and he
was appointed by the national committee
TO arbitrate the difference and determine
the question who was the regular nom
inee. have been his devoted friend
since that time. Not simply because he
decided in my favor, for his conduct had
been so fair and open that said publicly
I would abide by the decision and go back
to the district and help secure the cleo
ton Of my competitor IL he were declared
to be the nominee. I think Mr.. Hobart
greatest characteristic above his prcfes-
sionaI and stateSmanlfke qualities, was
that he was both strong and gentle
Through all our close acquaintance OF
sixteen years I never heard him say ar
unkind word Of a human being"
