NEW YORK, May 6.-Hundreds of the most
famous Americans were among those who Joined
in tribute to the genius of Homer Calvin Daven-
port the cartoonist, who died Thursday. Some of
them were at one time and another the victims of
the vitriol in which Davenport dipped his pen, but
with Mark Hanna most of the men cartooned by
him became his friends
Davenport's work for the Hearst papers in the
1896 campaign gave him international fame His
cartoons Of Hanna, upon whom he put the suit of
clothes with the dollar marks, were copied far and
wide
Davenport and Hanna never met until after
that bitter campaign was over. They were intro
duced in the Republican national headqualt tiers a
few days after the election of Mckinley Cornelius
n Bliss, Vice President-elect Hobart and NIurat
Hastead were present The successful chairman of
the national Republican committee held out his
hand and said:
'NIr Davenport I'm glad to meet you. I ad-
mire your execution but damn your conception.
This was the beginning of friendship between
the pair that ended only on Mr. Hanna death
Davenport did great work. There is no laurel
wreath woven or editorial fame and usefulness
which the great cartoonist does not share. Under
the strong fingers and the vrile touch of this mas
ter artist history is made and altered and great
reforms are fought and won.

It takes a master touch to trace in lines of
clearness and of power the ncarnated virtues and
abuses of the age-and Homer Davenport had that
touch-satire scorn praise endorsement advocacy
and stern denuncation in few virile lines without
words that rang where editorials were not heard.
1t was simple, loyal lofty soul which animal

"a. lone man in simplicity, and cosmopolite in
breathing pictures that epitomzed and inspired the
stirring times.
Many machine politician, holding government
and destiny in his hands, has writhed under the
fearful laceration of the Davenport cartoons Many

bled at that magnifed and monstrous figure which
incarnated the power and the tyranny of pluto

But the virile hands of the great editor-car-
