Senator Allison has been recog-
nized for at least score of years as !
chief among the constructive states
men of the country He was not an
originator of new policies, not
leader who took advanced positions
and urged his countrymen to follow /,
hun Nor was he aggressive in the !
Remuneration Of abuses. On the con-
trary he was content when he was
ABREAST with the majority Of his par
ty, and willing when there was
scourgiug to be done 10 let someone
else do it. Notwithstanding this ex-
IRENE consel valism, he was one OF
the most ns frl men in the nation.
He was builder who never lost his
head. A statesman who was above
the pettiness of party politics, a man,
who as chairman for many years Of
the senate committee on appropra-
tions, held one Of the purse-strings
of the country with q fidelity never
questioned by his worst enemy, and
with an impartiality which was adj
mired by men Of all parties. His
Experience and moderation made
him a leader among leading men.
His colleagues had faith in his judg-
ment, faith in the safety of any
measure that had his support.
And there was another admirable
trait in his character, which is de-
serving of special mention. He was
not, like many men in public life,
ungrateful. He was true to hie
9 friends and not unkind toward his
7 adversaries.
!. At least three times he refused to &C
q capt cabinet positions which wer'
g offered to him. For nearly half {
: century he was the friend and adyis
u er of the chief executives of thi
8 country. This includes Presiden
Cleveland, and applies to him quit
l. as much as to Presidents Grant
