His death was as heroc as life.
Cut down by the red hand Of MUIR

his life, when the summit to which
he aspired was just tipped by the
sun of success at its merid an, and
the prize for which be had endured
so much and fought so good fight
was just within his grasp.
Yet never a word of replnipg,
never a complaint or regret fell
from his lips. His sole anxiety
was for his party and his State,
and "the great common people,
over which his heart yearned. And
when he had done all he could for
them he gave up the unequal strug-
gle for life, and with a steadfast re
lance on the veracity, justice and
mercy of God whom he served and
reverenced, with sublime resig-
nation he wrapped the drapery of
his couch about him and lay down
to pleasant slumbers.

souls. His phenomenal success
was 10 itself a cause Of affront to
those whom he reached and dis
tanced But in the quarrel thus
thrust upon him he met his enemies
with a dauntless trout and gave
blow for blow AS he openly said:
~ never in my life attacked anyone
first; but whenIhave been attacked
have never yet failed to defend
myself to the best OF my ability"
He was fair man He would
have scorned to take mean under
handed advantage of foe. Every
opponent he metface to face, neither
seeking to evade or traduce him.
He met issues squarely and fair
ly. In this last campaign from the
very first speech to the lasthe made,
he gave forth "no uncertain sound. +"
but his trumpet voice rang out clear
and true, defining his position on
all questions both State and nation
al, and no man had to ask what
issue he stood for.
He was brave. Julius Caesar
was never more fearless. He re-
peated time and again in his
speeches these ringing words; Il
ask no quarter, fear no foe"--and |
most truly has he proved them.
For 9months he walked in the
shadow of the fate that at last over
took him, and not unwittingly. His
friends bore him on their hearts
constantly feeling assured that the |
corrupt and INSCRIPTIONS gang that
were so bitterly opposing him would,
when all their other schemes and |
tactics failed, do him to death, as
they have done. Warning after
warning was given him, but while |
