OUR BELOVED DEAD.

respectfully inscribed to the meEaery Of
G. III j. Taylor who departed lite May 25
1899, by his beloved wife, Julia Shropshire
Taylor.)
But few can measure the depths and
desolation where so much usefulness
has died and where so many fondly
cherished hopes have been ruthlessly
blighted. Thou art gone, though yet liv.
ing in the noon day glare Of Heavens
favor, in the warmest place Of friends
affection whose love knows no end.
There " as always brightness Of the
eye, q gentle tone of voice and warm
grasp Of the hand that told even
strangers that WAND heart beat within.
Words Of wisdom too, were wont to
fall from thy lips; aid many bright
gem Of thought is now cherished in
my mind as a souvenir OF the sixteen
years spent with thee. Farewell; thy
storm. tossed bark ss it may have been
in life's sea, is now safely mooEed in
yonder port called "Peace." The years
spent with thee have fragrance about
that time cannot destroy and the in
fuence for good shall live long after
thy form hath crumbled TO dust. Earth
with its joys and soErows, will know
thee no more for ever; and yet the
sweet influence Of such q life cannot
die.
No more to hear, no more TO see;
Obi that an echo might awake,
Await one note Of thy psalm to me,
Ere my heart strings break!
should know it how faint soe'E,
And with angels voices blent,
Oh once to feel thy spirit anear,
l souid be content.
Oh once between the gates of gold,
While an angel entering tred,
But once thee sitting t. behold
On the hills Of God.

Mr.. Mckinley as Presidents. Mr.. Myers
was elected Rs one of the two delegates
st-large sent from Cuyahega Couutyin
1895 to the State Convention at Zanes-
vile, at which convention Gen. Bush
nell was nominated for governor of the
state. To be delegate at.large was q
great honor one seldom conferred on q
eolored mad, but Mr.. Myers wore it
with becoming modesty, and when
the Hon. Mark a. Hanna sought for
men to 60 to st. Louis, In whose hands
the interest of Major Mckinley would
be safe, he chose George A. Myers and
Bishop B. w. Arnstt and the direction
Of Mr.. MeKinley's interests among the
cOlored people We're almost entirely
given into their hands. Mr.. Myers or
ganized the Ohio eeiored delegation oi
which Bishop Afnett was chairman
and he treasurer. and which rendered
such signal service to Msjor Mckinley
in the campaign Of 1895. He was also
chairman Of the entertainment commit.
tee for coiored delegates, and many 6
foot sore and weary traveller was rejuv-
enated through the hospitality of this
committee
Ii is very gratifying to know that al
the end of the campaign Msj jor Nc
KIniey went personally TO thank him
fos his efforts and to inquire what he
might do TO further show his apprec1a-
tiOn. Mr.. Myers Informed him, there
was no Office he desired; nor was there
any office la his gift that could tempt
him to give up his business. Mr..
Myers is president of the Western Re-
sslve Republican Club, strong politi
cal organisation and power In Ohio
state politics. he Is also prominent in
Masonic circles, and while not strictly
church man, has done much to bene-
tit St. Johns A. M. E church by Civ.
Ing literally Of his means TO it's sup
port.
He was one Of the assistant secretar-
les Of the Toledo convention which re-
nominated Governor Bushnell and ip.
dorsed the Hon. HI :. A. Hanna for Sena.
tor. 10 was through the personal
efforts ef Senator Hanna, that Mr.
Myers was made q member of the
State Executive Committee (of seven)
which eventually proved to be the most
impertant State Committee, ia the
history Of the republican party of Ohio.
No important political matter Is ever
undertaken in the State by his party
until he has been consulted.
In the bitter senatorial campaign of
his chief, Senator Hanna, In 1898 Myers
was In the thickest of the fray and did
yeomsn service for his chieftaIn. 1t
was he that settled the doubt when
an xisty had settled on every counter
sRce by bringing IN the 72d man at
midnight on the day before the voting.
That Senator Hanna appreciates his
services, has been proved in numerous
instances.
The late republican state convention
which met st Columbus. hoaored Mr.
Myers for his services to the party by
eleetlng him an alternate at large to
the Republican National Convention,
which meets June 1sth at philadelphia.
In this brief and impsrfect sketch it
Is proper to note the fact that Nr.

HON. GEORGE =. MYERS,
Alternate Delegate-at- large TO the National
Republican Convention at Philadelphia.

With q Eace held In slavery, living In
the midst OF all the crushing influences
which human prejudice and caste could
heap upon him. Gsorgs A. Meyers,
though only forty one years Of age, has
risen to q station and influence in the
csanssls Of the nation, unparalleled In
biographical annals. Harriet Bsecher
Stowe, speaking of Frederick Douglass
said: Frederick Douglass, had as far
TO climb to get 80 the spot where the
poorest white boy is born, as that white
boy has 80 climb to be President of the
nation" And the same thought may,
appropriately be applied, to the subject
Of this sketch.
Gesrge A. Myers was born in Balti-
more, Md, March 5, 1863, being the
eldsst Of the three children Of Isaac
and Emma V. Myers. In June 1869, he
had the misfortune to lose his mother
and consequently never had the full
advantage Of mothers loving care.
He was sent 10 Providence, Z. l. and
while liviBg in the family Of the Rev.
J. II. w. Burley, attended the public
school. Later he spent some time In
she preparatory department of Lincoln
University, Chester County, Pa. From
there he came to Washington, and en-
tered at school, but upon the opening
Of grammar schools in Baltimore for
oolored children, he went there that he
might be near his father, who had In
she meantime married Miss Sarah E
Dsaver. In this it will be Sc. n that he
was fortunate in having acquired
substantial educational basis; supple
mented by persistent private study,
that enables him to take his place with
ssnfidence in any circle no matter how
exalted. In the years previous TO 1879
thsEe were scarcely any or very few
opportunities for an ambitious colored
youth, and in this short list the bar
Der's trade was deemed the best, so he
was put 10 learn the basber's eraft aad
seat to Cleveland under the care of Mr..
J. (. Benson of the Weddell House
Nine years after young Myers having
acquired some means and high Yepu-
sation IN she business he opened for
himself in the Hollenden Hotel, Cleve
land, one Of the largest and best
equipped shsps in the United States,
giving employment to eighteen hands.
Isaac Myers, his father, for years was
the foremost colored man In the state
OF Maryland, and transmitted 10 his
son those TRAITS of political sagacity
which had made the father famous and
are doing the same for the son. Thus
We see he was bern to fill his present
station as shrewd politician and or
ganiZeT. From his advent into Ouya-
hsga County he has been an important
factor in city, county and state politics,
never asking place for himself except as
3 delegate to some convention, or some
shing purely honorary In Its nature
It Is an undeniable fact that he has
secured more rscOg nition fos his race
than any other man in Ohio. He con-
sidsrs the success of his party and the
welfare OF his people his greatest re.
ward and with that is content. Mr..
Myers came first into prominence Ia
national politics at the Minneapolis
National Convention In 1892, where he
appeared as aiternste-st large, becom

If we would restrain a thief from rob-

success, but If we would make an hon
