Washington, Nov. 11.—Garrett
A. Hobart was* eminently success-
ful both in business and politics.
His reputation as a man ox affairs
and as one of the shrewdest busi-
ness men m the oountry wss per-
heps greater than his reputation '
as a political leader and states" ••sells a tie

man until his election to the tie*
presidency three years ago. .
Mr, Hobsrt was born in 1844 at
Long Branch, N. J. His ances-
tors on his father's side were En-
glish and on his mother's side
Dutch. Thirty-three, years ago
he was graduated from Rutgjr's
college and began teaching school.
Thrte months later he entefced
upon the study of law with So-
crates Tnttle, a prominent law-
yer in Passaic county, and who
waa at that time mayor of Pster-
soo. Young Hobart is said to
have arrived at Peterson with but
fl.dO in hia pocket, and from his
small beginning he made his way
unaided to ~ wealth and proroi-
popular presiding ofbeer ana e
good parliamentarian. It had
been the habit of most
dents to refer closely
points of order to the^ senate for
decision. Mr. Hobert. however,
usiiillv decided sll ueh questions
himself, and questions in^Dlving
law and rules did not wait for de-
cision by ths senate. He was
quick in disposing of business at

of ell senators, while his gonial
and pleabsnt manner made him

ever filed tbe high office which

In 1869 he was admitted to the

Hobart made hie way rapidly at

In 1871 be was made city oounsel

But the demands of his psrty
would not admit of his remaining
long in private life, and in 1876
he waa elected to the stale seoste,

president in 1881. During hi«

of the Judiciary committee

meaaures of importance which
are now on the statute books of

Hie party became more and

tion of New Jersey, sod a* such
planned some of the mo t impor-
