But a few words about Senator Car
mack before l close:
MANY Of you knew him, admired
him and loved him.
HE was my life long friend and,
I learned from the quiet hours of de-
lightful companionship to understand
and appreciate how his great heart
yielded back its fountain Of affection
to his friends. Therefore I feel at
liberty, here among his friends, to
refer to him.
I'm the death of Senator CarmGck
the cause of good government lost
its ablest champion, and political tyr
amy its most dangerous foe.
His convictions were unconquera-
BILE and he was ever ready, If necessa-
ry, to die for them.
HE loved the people as much as
any man that ever lived, yet no one
ever knew him to stoop to fiattery.
The world never knew a candidate
for public favor that practiced less
the art, the tricks, or the speech OF the
demagogue. Carolanus himself was
- -, lives, IN than
"He lived for the honor, the glory
and the good of his native State. He
lied because he was the champion OF
good government.
"The relentless and uncompromis-
ing foe If vicious political methods,
he victim of most remorseless po-
itical machine, he died a martyr to
he cause Of freedom.
Though he fell a victim of a most
,ruel and .cowardly murder, shot In
he back, Euthanasia, the Greek God
less of Happy Death, bore him
lome.'
For to have died martyr to the
ause to which he had devoted his life,
vas indeed a happy death.
aBut he was not to have a gentle
assing. Yet his noble and soaring
pirit lives on.
"He did not fail in his titantic bat
lie for good government.
"They never fail who die
In a great cause; the block may soak
their gore;
Their heads may sodden in the gun;
their limbs
Be strung to city gates and castle
walls
But still their spirit walks abroad.
Tho years
Elapse, and others share as dark a
doom,
They but augment the deep and
sweeping thoughts
Which overpower all others, and con-
duct
The world at last to freedom"
