JOHN WANAMAKER'S EULOGY.
EA-PREsIDENT HARRISON IN THE HIGHEs'
RANK OF AMERICAN STATESMEN.

y.
Philadelphia March 13 (SpeciaD-John Wana-
maker. who was Postmaster-Cenerali in the Har-
r1son administration, made the following signed
statement for The Tribune tonight:
Benjamin Harrison will ever stand as a rare
type of American character In the combina-
rion of gifts he possessed he approached Glad
stone nearer than any other American states
man. he lived in a light that made every ques-
tlon OF duty clear 10 him. and out of his clear
brain and apt speech he shed light on every
subject he discussed. Few men had the epi-
grammatic expression that was given TO him.
Two words were never spoken by him where
would do.
Strange as il may appear 10 those who only
Knew him IN his official life President of the
United States there hosts Of his old army
comrades and Of other close friends who have
always known his personal attractiveness
When he became President his personality was
merged in an all absorbing devotion to affairs
OF state that left him without a thought or care
of his own personal interests. BY day and by
night he was as one haunted by the heavy
responsibilities of his office. in Cabinet where
in sat the illustrious Blaine and Window he
led them and his associates all in breadth of
VISION keenness Of business perception and in
tense fidelity TO even the most minute Of public
affairs. Always sagacious. fearless and firm
never feeble or foolish, with a wisdom of speech
and a wisdom 10 act born of true heart his life
was a gloriication Of simplicity. straightfor-
wardness and truthfulness. If there was any-
thing he hated more than anything else il was
falsehood. Never false himself he was the inn
placsbe foe Of falsity in others He had a
great soul, and loved his country.
Taking together his soldier. Senatorial and
presidential record, Benjamin Harrison stands in
the highest rank Of American statesmen Time
will show how deep in the hearts of the people
BENJAMIN Harrison truly lives.

FROM HIS. ASSOCIATES.
SENATOR ELKINs's ESTIMATE OF GEN
ERAL HARRIsON'S CHARACTER.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l


Washington. March Ex-senator Stephen B.
r7,L,rs Of West Virginia, who served Secre-
,arv Of War in President Harrison's Cabinet
succeeding Redfeld Proctor, had this TO say this
evening when asked by a representative of The
Tribune TO give an estimate of General Harri-
sons character:
knew General Harrison intimately long be-
Gore he became President. His family and my
own often spent the summers together IN those
davs and in this way I became familiar with
his many unusual and admirable personal quail
tiles / regard him one OF the ablest states
men and jurists Of our time. one OF the greatesl
and most forceful men this nation has produced.
He will rank with the foremost or our PfeS-
dents He was surpassed by no President as a
constitutional and international lawyer, ana IL
was his extraordinary ability as a lawyer mat
contributed so largely to his success IN the ao-
Ininistration of his great Office
He was much better known and appreciated
by the people Of this country and by the world
a. large after leaving the Presidency than he
was as President. In disposition he was gentle
and affectionate, and he showed TO those who
knew him best nature full of tenderness and
sympathy. He loved his own country and has
own people first, but friend of humanity
and stroye TO advance just and noble causes all
over the world. He was a man who looked on
all sides of all great questions, social, polltcal
and legal. He never took a warped or one sided
view of any problem He found the truth in
every difficult proposition almost by intuition.
His mind was logical and went TO the heart of
things as straight as a bullet He was able TO
separate truth from error quicker than any
other man ] have known.
General Harrison's death is a loss to the
United States and TO the world His counsels
and wisdom in these troublous times much
needed. Mr.. Blaine said Of General Harrison
that in the Presidency he showed himself not
only a great administrator and great lawyer.

fact that when the imitation craze spread over the
country and swept from their moorngs many
who have since lived 10 regret their infatuation
he never wavered in his fidelity to the cause Of

Civil Service reform was indicated by the follow
