Oh, folded hands, farewell, farewell"

Adopted Resolutions
"The Passic county democratic executive
committee desires to express upon the
records of this body our deep regret in COM
mon with the country at the death of Gar
rett A. Hobart as the leader of the repub-
lican panty in this county for many years,
and later of the state. He was a splendid
organizer of consummate tact and a leader
of uncommon resources. He was ever the
gentleman. No campaign was ever lowered
when he lead 1t. He was a manly and
straightforward opponent. He adorned
every station in high office, ne bore himself
as one born to it. Paterson has lost her
most distinguished friend. We join in the
general sorrow. Honor to his memory and
peace to his ashes"
