New-York tribune., 1906-11-20

claim have been cast upon It by the novelist
In forty page pamphlet printed for gratuitous
distribution, the Hon. William E. Chandler
writes in terms of high eulogy of Mr.. Durkee,
and supplements his words by statements
and letters from Thomas P. Cheney ex-senator
Henry W. Blair and Colonel Daniel Hail. Sena-
tor Blair's opinion of Mr.. Durkee. derived from
lifelong acquaintance Is summarized in the
following paragraph:
Ruel Durkee poor man. homes. man. q
good man and q great man. His life full Of
kind and unselffsh deeds. He was tho father Of
his town. and man did more than he for his
section Of the state. do not believe he ever cor
rupted a legislator any public official whatever,
and to his being BOSS he only In
the sense that he had more brains than most men,
and generally outwitted those who played with
him at the game of sharps. He was a very close
observer of the tide OF public opinion, and had
great skill in identifying himself with the preva-
lent idea and shaping results, but never knew
him to break his word. He seemed to act upon the
principle, which I believe to be the correct one,
that of all men, the politician should be the most
truthful. because in politics no man can give any
thing but his word In public life the man who
tells deliberate lie is ruined forever.
