WILLIAM If. cLAGGE1r.

The Reno Journal has the follow
ing tribute to the memory OF the late
William H. Claggett:
The news Of the death OF William
II. Claggett will awaken memories in
the minds OF surviving Nevada
pioneers-memories Of the brief ca.
reel OF one Of the brightest and most
gifted men that took part in public
affairs in the territorial and early
Statehood days Of this battle-born
commonwealth. Deceased was a
member Of the Territorial Council,
and nlso Of the State Senate during
the first session OF the legislature
after Nevsda's admission as a State.
AS a public speaker he was the peer
OF any Of the bright galaxy Of orator.
ical talent and genius that adorned
the early period preceding and imme.
diately following Nevada's promo
ton to Statehood. Although pos
seasing superior qualifications aud
ability, he was no politician, and
others far more poorly equipped in.
tellec.uallY and morally o~utstepped
him in the ace for such political
honors as were in the gift Of the new
born commonwealth. For this reas
OF doubtless he removed to Montana
in the middle sixties, and since that
time has lived at different times in
Utah, Oregon and Washington.
Judge G. G. Goodwin, in the Salt
Lake Tribune, pays the following
tribute to his memory: ale had
many eccentricities, was restless by
nature and given to following hobbies
but he was a fine lawyer; with two OF
three exceptions vas the foremost
orator OF the coast, and down deer
had one OF the gentlest, tenderest anc
most loyal hearts ID the world. lie
dreamed OF high honors. More than
once they seemed absolutely within
his grasp, but they all eluded him
All his life he hated injustice; he
never sought for anything except
upon merit; so he struggled and
struggled, and now has died. We
may sny he was a great lawyer. Il
marvellous orator and a great hearted
man, but that gives no idea OF him
He made a mistake coming west
He ought to have flung himself into
the whirlpool OF the East in 1861
there no would have been a guiding
controlling figure; ove the storm his
voice would have rung out a clarion
call, and all honors would have been
his. In the West he wal always
what the blooded horse Is wher
hitched to a plough. He performed
honest aud faithful work, but the
chafngs OF his indomitable heart
brought him to an early grave"
