More from George F. Hoar
Judge Hoar never doubted that the service of a clean, able, upright Circuit Court, appointed without political influence, and entirely acceptable to the public, was well worth the sacrifice.
His life, so far as he took part in political affairs, was devoted to objects wholly public, never personal.
He indignantly rejected it, and declared he would not eat a creature that he loved.
The honor and good fame of our beloved State is far above any question of party.
