Of his death said: an the death of Sec

helped form the Republican party and
throughout his long career was one OF
the most trusted and able leaders His
impression he left on the great measures
enacted In legislation and carried into
the constitution during and after the
civil war. Perhaps his GROWING work
was as secretary OF the treasury under
President Hayes, as which he carried TO
successful issue the act providing for the
resumption of specie payment In that
measure we owe to his frmness and
courage the high credit Of our country
abroad and the sound condition OF IT'S

man, and his countrymen viii mourn his
loss and cherish his memory. His place
In history is secure as one OF the fore
