citizen. John Sherman. do resolve:
That we have learned with profound regret Of
the death of the patriot and statesman John
low-citizens OF the Union in tbs national be-
rearement. and share in the universal sorrow
which his death occasions;
That his eminent public services in both
Houses of Congress and in the Cabinet, extend
ing over period OF nearly half century, CON-
prising more than half of his life. and rendered
under exigcncies which involved in the highest
degree the welfare OF the nation, have been
such to entitle him TO its LISTING gratitude;
That the success of the Union during the
war of the rebellion due in a large measure
to his unfiinching courage, answering loyalty,
and untiring efforts in the support and creation
Of legislation necessary TO the support of the
citizen soldiers who engaged in the great
struggle for national unity:
That in the resumption Of specie payment, jan
rary !. lS19Sunder the most trying circumstances
and opposition, is found the most marvellous
achievement of the financial world and the crown
ing effort of his life;
That in the language Of the lamcnted Garfield.
''Iie has shown himself able to meet with calm
ness the great emergencies Of the Government.
He has trodden the perilous heights Of public
duty. and against all the shafts Of malice has
borne his breast unframed. He has stood in the
blaze of that fierce light that beats against the
throne but its fercest ray has found no flaw
in his honor, no stain on his shield
That extend TO the family Of the deceased
statesman sincere coincidence and sympathy,
and may the memory of his patriotism and heroic
struggle for the right abide with foreyermore.
