inustrious career and of his distinguished
public service and of his private character
that the senate set apart the session to-
day for the pronouncement of eulogies
upon him. Personal friends and associ-
ates and party friends and party oppo-

man, in part as follows:
Mr. Hobart was removed from hi:
earthly career at an age when the mag
nifcent stature of his manhood wa!
reaching it's prime; when the grand Gle
ments of his character were ripening Il
their full developments; when his grea
| usefulness to the nation was becoming
! more and more apparent. His public du
ties were marked by zeal and devotion L
| the interests of the people. The genera
welfare rather than the conserving o
private interests, engaged his time and at
! tention. The performance of his duties
as president of the senate has ever evoked
| the favorable criticism of the members
| of this body, and the business and fair
ness of his rulings have elected thei
warmest commendation The characte
! of Mr.. Hobart was as the open day-nei
! Their darkness nor shadow rested upol
it. His loyalty to truth. his fealty to duty
his answering devotion to the interest
of his constituents have carved for hin
in the hearts OF men an enduring tab
let"
