Democratic Sentinel, Volume 15, Number 50, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 January 1892 — The Deal Senator. [ARTICLE]

The Deal Senator.

He was, perhaps, the hardest worker in the Senate, and his ear was never closed to tlie tale of human woo. —New York Press. He was a strong man, fu’l of resources, and an exceedingly adroit politician. His death will be a loss to the country and more particularly to Kansas.—Detroit Free Press. The Kansas Senator was brainy and genial, sturdy and lovable, and his sudden end will be lamented by political adversaries no less than political friends. —Louisville Courier-Journal. Senator Plumb’s death seems to be a clean case of overwork, lie applied himself almost unceasingly to the cares of h s office and did not heed the warning of his physician.—Pittsburg Gazette. During fifteen years' service in the United States Senate he won recognition as one of tho most assiduous and influential, while one of the least pretentious, of the Senators.—New York Recorder. He was at times out of line with his party on some questions, but In tho main was true to its principles. He was admirably equipped for public life, and his death will bo a loss to the Senate.— Rochester Democrat. The warning of Senator Plumb's death is a very strong one against tho American error of overwork, and is especially forcible against the political vice of turning the national legislators into patronage clerks and private claim attorneys without fee —Pittsburg Dispatch.
