LINCOLN
Eloquent Tribute by Vice
President Sherman.

(6y United Press Leased Wire)
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feb.
12.-At the Lincoln day dinner
here tonight, Vice President
Sherman, in an eloquent eulogy
Of the martyred president,
said:
Great presidents have come
and gone; great generals have
achieved victories that have
moved the world to praise and
thanksgiving; great statesmen
have gathered for us fruits Of
politics and laurels of world re-
spect which have given us mo-
mentary pride and moved us
well nigh to national egotism.
But above and beyond all in the
procession of the great men Of
our past history stands Lincoln.
Lincoln, not seeking great
ness, yet the greatest of all;
Lincoln, tried by fire, tempted
by calls of what seemed hui
mainly; Lincoln, the gentle, yet
holding true the course Of the
ship of state amid the most
fearful carnage of strife ever
inflicted, his heart glowing with
sympathy and sorrow and his
gaze longing for the sight Of
the olive branch of peace, hid
by the tempestuous clouds of
war"
