Oregon editor because the iatter's paper
once contained a sighting reference to
the late Senator Morrill,.
Though New Highlander Of New
Englanders, Senator Hoar had the
warmest feeling for the south, to which
he frequently paid tributes and among
whose statesmen be counted some of
his warmest friends. One Of these was
the late Senator Harris Of Tennessee,
whom Mr.. HOar pronounced the best
PARLIAMENTARY of his own or any other
country.
Some of Hoar's most merciess ex-
coria tons were of rich men who at
tempted to buy their way into public
Office. For such he expressed only the
most unbounded contempt
Throughout his early career Mr..
Hoar was an uncompromising Republic
can. He was identified with its earliest
movements and was always considered
an extreme partisan by his political OPP
ponents. For many years be was the
head and front of his party in his own
state, position that he won after
years Of hard lighting from General
Benjamin +. Butler. Down 10 tile state
convention Of 1873 the Republican party
Of Massachusetts was pretty evenly
divided in its preferences between the
two leaders, but from the hour when
Butler was voted down as a candidate
for the governorship his star declined.
and that of Hoar steadily rose until it
gained complete supremacy. Until
Henry Cabot Lodge appeared upon the
political stage OF Massachusetts, there
was no Republican in the state able to
contest with any advantage for the
control Of the party there when Ar
thur took his seat as president, he was
inclined to favor the Butler wing Of the
party, and 1t seemed for a time Il s If the
tide would turn against Hoar but the
memorable contest Of 1883. in which ex-
Governor Long and w. w Grape tried
to defeat him for tire senate, settled
matters permanently in Mr. Hoar's
favor.
There was national sequel to the
anti Hoar iasco Of 1883 in the Chicago
convention of 1884 that nominated
Blaine. Those who know Of the inside
history Of that convention know that
it was New England's stubborn re-
fusal to join the Arthur column that
made Arthurs candidacy hopeless
from the start, and that ii was the
influence Of Mr. Hoar in holding the
Massachusetts delegation aloof that
brought about the nomination of Blaine
President Arthur himself realized all
this when ii was too late. Mr.. Hoars
election to the senate in 1889 was not OPP
posed III any way in fact, il was 50
thoroughly a foregone conclusion that
The newspapers Of the hand were con-
tent with little more than q bare an-
nouncement Of the fact.

political opponents as THE force bill,

that the failure oil the bill in the upper
house caused Nh. Hoar acute ehagrin,
and bis persistent advocacy OF the mems
ure called down upon him the most
pronounced attacks from his opponents
in the senate and from the newspapers
whose editors did NOT favor its passage
Mr.. Hoar was man Of learning aud
culture, and he came by these attributes
naturally, for his father before him,
DR.. samuel Iloar was one Of the most
cultured men Of his time. The doct0r
was quite as strong ali advocate Of hisf
