It may be truly said of him that he. carried his sovereignty under his own hat. but so far as it did not conflict with his view of right and wrong. of course he was loyal to the party to -which he belonged. Another distinguishing feature of his character was his intense love of his country and its institutions. He believed in representative government. and he believed that representative government implies confidence and faith in your fellow men. I often talked with him about this question of immigration. He believed that in order to preserve our free institutions it was. necessary to exclude not only the illiterate and defective. but also those. however well educated. who professed hostility to all government. or to our form of government. Obviously. he was right.
