The committee has embodied the
sense OF the meeting in the following
resolutions which were agreed upon
at a meeting today
Whereas, la national afftiction has
visited our country In the death of the
Hon Cushman r.. Davis, United States
senator from the STATED of Minnesota.
Whereas, the people OF the city OF
Bismarck, Norbn Dakota, quite num-
Der Of whom were army comrades and
ola friends OF Senator Davis, feeling
that his death is an almost irreparable
loss to our city state, and the great
north Of which he was an early
pioneer, and actuated by a sincere de-
sire to pay proper tribute to his in
telleetual ability, his grand character,
his profound craftsmanship and his
great service to his country have duly
authorized a committee OF citizens to
express to his faithful wife, his aged
parents and other relatives their pro-
found sorrow at his death, therefore
Be it ResolYesa, that in the death Of
Senator Gushman *. Davis this na-
EEion has lost one OF its brightest in
tellects, one Of its most thorough
workers and practical scholars, one OF
its most patriotic and conscientious
statesmen. Senator Davis was con-
spicuous ellectual light among the
greatest men Of our nation his char
|acter, his attainme ents, his life and his
services stand outlined with peculiar
clearness on the political field of our
country's recent history he was rare
combination OF intellect, energy, stud
iousness, patience IN research and
practical jud dgmeilt; he knew when,
and where, and how, to bring his won-
derful powers into practical use. He
was always logical, concise profound,
anal ytie, versatile and eloquent,
whether at the bar or in the forum.
His name will go down in the history
of his country to future generations as
one OF the most thoroughly equipped
men in all lines of political and legal
knowledge this nation has ever pro-
duced, as an unass uming man who was
never found wanting. who was equal
to every occasion, rising to its de-
mands with little apparent effort,
showing his great studio iousness, his
remarkable culture by the exhibition
Of such wonderful grasp of detail
of every subject5 which he was called
TO consider. The people Of the entire
nation we're his friends and admirers
We feel that It, is personal loss to
every home in the northwest He
stood as an honest bulWark in the
pathway OF political injustice and
wrong. Realizing all this, be It
Further resolved, that our most
sincere sympathy is hereby extended
to Mrs Senator Davis, who BY her
tireless vigils at the bedside of her
noble husband, battling bravely
against the inevitable. has endeared
herself TO the people Of this country,
and win ever be held by them in kind
Hest remembrance. We hope that In
her great bereavement she may be
sustained and strengthened BY an un-
faltering trust IN the Wisdom Of our
Heavenly rather. and in the faith that
the laying aside of the mortal form IS
but the glorious dawn Of d brighter
and higher life. We commend her to
the God OF the widow and the father
