and devotion for him has constantly
increased with each passing year
His great speeches on the tariff and
on the Industrial and financial inter

unique place among the orators of the
new world. His utterances in behalf
of equal rights for all men; his great
pleas for the oppressed and the COM
mon masses; the outpourings of the
true sentiments that lived in his great
sympathetic heart for the black race
and the poor of our own great country
will send his name down to coming
generations With fame, fitting him as

The one thing, more than any other,
that emphasized Senator DolIiver's
true greatness to me was his constant
great goodness. of heart. No matter
what his environments, or the class
and character of his audience, he
never failed to say word for the OPP
pressed and the weak. Even in these
days when most public men are anx-
ious to omit, avoid and forget any
mention of the merits of the odd SOL
der" or the cause of the negro"
Senator Dolliver regarded the Just
and fair treatment of these questions
of equivalent Importance to the well
fare of his country, and he boldly
treated them with clearness, frank
ness and feeling even to the day of
his death.
A grateful race joins in this mourn
