More from George F. Hoar
There has probably never been a man in our history upon whom so few people looked with indifference.
He has fallen at the very gate of an honorable and eminent career, and a thousand hopes are buried in his grave.
His life, so far as he took part in political affairs, was devoted to objects wholly public, never personal.
Judge Hoar strenuously insisted that the Judges of the newly created Circuit Courts of the United States should be made up of the best lawyers, without Senatorial dictation.
