Justice Brewers Brief Comment.
Mr. Justice Brewer, when called upon
for remarks, said it was no time then to
make a speech. but that he was heartily
in favor of the erection of the statue to
Hamilton, since scarcely any man had
been so poorly recognized for his great
deeds. Secretary Cortelyou echoed this
statement and promised all the assist
ance in his power to aid the purpose Of
the organization.
1t was decided to hold public meeting
shortly. at which Mr. Justice Brewer Will
deliver an grafton upon Alexander Ham
ilton. Justice Brewer demurred, saying
that Justice Harlan ought to speak for
the court. as president of the association
but the motion had already passed. so he
bowed to the decree Of fate. A circular
prepared by Secretary Collins is to be
passed upon by Justice Harlan and Sena-
tor Lodge, and If found satisfactory, will
be used to arouse interest in the plans of
the association.
