“That in itself would be a great and satisfying tribute; but he had so many other endearing qualities that reminiscent affection is not content with the utterance of merely historical appreciation. He was not only loyal to his principles, he was in all right ways loyal to his friends. He had a fine courage of loyalty also. He would, whenever occasion demanded, give battle to aid a friend or uphold a principle; nor did he ever grudge patient and laborious toil to accomplish either result. “Throughout the strenuous years of his mature manhood--nearly half a century of public life--his voice was always for the just and humane treatment of the toiling millions. It adds the element of pathos to our appreciation, to remember that for most of this time he struggled not only against the handicap of slender financial resources, but also against the disadvantages of delicate health. “It is an inspiration when we think how much, notwithstanding these drawbacks, he accomplished. His name is written large in the annals of this age. He was a force for civic righteousness, for true progress, and for the nobler destiny of man. “It is with deep personal regard and affection I pen these lines. They are written in sincere and simple tribute to one of whom truly it can be said-- “‘None knew him but to love him, None named him but to praise.’” Typographical errors corrected by the etext transcriber: the silk tile=> the silk tie {pg 33} done reguarly=> done regularly {pg 65} ony one in Indiana=> any one in Indiana {pg 79} intimately indentified=> intimately identified {pg 204} frequent susceptibilty=> frequent susceptibility {pg 229} The speech was delivered in four parts on four separate days, and when he began the delivery of the first part nothing of that which had been prepared was to be delivered in the second part had been prepared.=> The speech was delivered in four parts on four separate days, and when he began the delivery of the first part nothing of that which had been prepared was to be delivered in the second part. {pg 246} considerabe momentum=> considerable momentum {pg 275} the Democracization=> the Democratization {pg 293} speak in Indianapois=> speak in Indianapolis {pg 386} required to chose=> required to choose {pg 395} spirit of christianity=> spirit of Christianity {pg 409} Two midle-aged Indiana=> Two middle-aged Indiana {pg 418} political campaings=> political campaigns {pg 445} language of euolgy=> language of eulogy {pg 473}
