EX-GOVERNOR PATTISON DEAD. Pennsylvania’s Greatest and Most Respected Citizen Passes Away at His Home in Overbrock. Men ofall Creeds and Parties Mourn the Memory and Pay Tribute to His Worth and Integrity, as a Citizen, as an Official and asa Democratic Leader. Robert Emory Pattison, twice Governor of Peunsylvania, and the only Pennsyl- vanian of recent years seriously considered as a presidential possibility, died at 6:25 o’clock on Monday worning at his home in Overbrook, Philadelphia. His end was peacefel, the distinguished patient after a series of relapses during the evening slow- ly sinking from unconsciousness to the end. At the bedside when death came were Mrs. Ezra Bartlett, a sister, Robert E. Pat- tison, Jr., Drs. Pfromm and Boenuing and two nurses. Tired out by the all-night vigil, Mis. Pattison and her daughter Miss Lavina Pattison, had gone to their own room a short time previous. Before they conld be summoned the husband and fath- er had closed his eyes in the last sleep. Death was due to pneumonia complicas- ed with a weak hears and a broken down physique. Governor Pattison’s friends be- lieve his end was hastened by the strain of his work at the last Democratic National Convention. He took a leading part in the deliberations of that body and did yoeman gervice in bringing about a compromise platform. The ex-Governor had heen in noticeable failing health for some time prior to his journey to St. Louis, and he returned from his arduous labors there in a state bordering on physical collapse. HEAT HASTENED CRISIS. On Monday of last week he was seized with a congestive chill, and took to his bed. Pneumonia developed. and although Doctors Pfromm and Boenning labored ar- duously to save his life he slowly grew weaker. Hope was not abandoned until Sunday, when the intense heat of the day hastened the final crisis. Sinking spells followed by rallies sue- ceeded each other, but each left the patient noticeably weaker. Oxygen was adminis- tered to sustain life. During the night the ex-Governor had intervals of conscious- ness, during which he chatted with those at his bedside. At other times he was slightly delirious. Just before the end came he seemed much stronger and asked his son for a glass of water. He raised the glass to his lips, drank, and seemed much refreshed. Then he sank back on his pillow, closed his eyes, and slowly the heart-beats grew fainter and less frequent. To the Democracy of the country at large and to officials and distinguished men of Pennsylvania the death of ex-Governor Pattison came as a severe shock. No man in the State was closer to the people, espec- ially those of the great rural districts. Ont- side of the State the ex-Governor was re- garded as one of the foremost men of the Democratic party, and one who not only done great things. bus had perhaps higher honors ahead of him. Of all the tribntes to the dead man none were more sincere than those which came from the distinguished leaders in the Methodist church. Governor Pattison was the son of a Methodist clergyman, and he himself was an intensely religions man and one of the leaders in upholding the Metho- dist faith. For many years he conducted a Bible class in the church of the Covenant, at Eighteenth and Spruce streets. HIS CHURCH LABORS. James M. King, secretary of the Boaid of Church Extension, speaking for that body, told of the ex-Governor's devoted labors, and said : “While io political life, and necessarily in intimate association with politicians and public men, he was a most pronounced and outspoken Christian man ip his religious faith. While Governor of the State he did not think it beneath him to address Sun- day schools and religious organizations and spoke from platforms and pulpits to aid churches on their anniversary occasions and in raising money for building or other purposes. “I am gratefal to say that I was permit- ted to share in a personal and close friend- ship with this good man. He was always a Christian gentleman and never thought his time too precious to give a portion of it to the humblest pleas for various purposes which came from the humblest people.” As Valedictorian of his class in 1870, upon the advice of President Riche, of the High school, Mr. Pattison took up the study of law in the office of the late Lewis C. Cassidy, after declining a scholarship to Dickinson College, and wasadmitted to the bar in 1872. When the Democratic party wanted a candidate for City Controller he was induced by Mr. Cassidy to accept the powiuation aud was elected with a majori- ty of 1962. Daring his first term in the office he troduced a policy in city finances of ‘‘pay as you go’’ and was instrumental in floating a funded debt loan to pay an outstanding debt of the city aggregating about $10,000,000. Mr. Pattison was re- elected in 1881, but had served only a year of his second term when he was sought by his party as a candidate for Governor. Some feared that he was too young for the place, being only 31 years of age, but his record as a public speaker aud his succes in the office of City Controller were regard- ed as guarantee of his ability to win if any- one could. He was elected with a plurality of 40,- 202. In 1887 he was eiected president of the Chestnut street National bank and served in that capacity for four years, until he was again called upon by his party to stand for the Governorship. In 1890 he was elected in the memorable campaign of Geo. : W. Delamater, the Republican candidate. At the last convention at which Grover Cleveland was nominated for the Presi- dency, the Pennsylvania delegation was instructed to vote as a unit. At one stage of the contest New York offered to cast its seventy votes for ex-Governor Pattison if Penusylvania would also suppor: him. Pennsylvania having committed itself to Cleveland, refused to do this. It was gen- erally thought later that'had Cleveland not been chosen on the first ballot, as he was, the Pennsylvania delegation might have swerved from him and turned the tide to- wards Pattison. TALKED OF FOR PRESIDENT. In 1896 and again in 1900 Mr. Pattison was Pennsylvania’s choice for the Presi- dential nomination of his party. Again last month, in St. Louis, his partisans were active. De:pite his known opinions, Bryan made an earnest effort to obtain his consent to run against Judge Parker, but the former Governor refoeed to desert the popular candidate, and ineisted that his name be not presented. Nevertheless, four delegates voted for him. In the fall of 1902 Mr. Pattison was again nominated for Governor. It was be- lieved that the Republican party had split so thoroughly over the administration of Governor Stone and the nomination of JudgePennypacker over John P. Elkin that the Democrats could win. Then followed one of the fiercest campaigns ever waged in the State, but Pattison was de- feated. ACTIVE AT ST. LOUIS. At the Democratic convention, at St. Louis, Mr. Pattison was one of the most conspicuons and influential delegates in at- tendance. He served on the committee on Resolutions and during the long and ardu- ous session of that committee, lasting from eight o'clock in the evening until nine o'clock of the next day, broken as he was in health, struggled for a harmonious plat- form shortly after returning home the ili- ness which resulted 10 death hegan. Married in the year of his admission to the bar to Miss Anna B. Smith, daughter of a Philadelpbian, he secured a devoted wife and accomplished companion. Their surviving children are Lavinia Russell Pat- tion and Robert Emory Pattison. One of the charges of Rev. Rohert H. Pattison, the ex-Governor’s father, was the church of the Covenant, at Eighteenth street, helow Spruce. It had run down greatly when Governor Pattison and the late John Field determined to bring about a revival of its power. Through their gen- erons giving they made it possible to build a beautiful edifice on the site of the old ehurh cand through their efforts it has be- come one of the greatest religion centres of the city. A feature of the Sunday school is the Bibleciass, of which the ex-Governor was the insniuctor. Every Sunday morning he taught the international les<on to vearly 400 menand women. He was a lay delegate to the General Conference in 1884 and 1888, and in 1890 he was a fraternal delegate to the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, and in 1891 a delegate to the Ecumenical Council, held in Washing- ton, D. C. Dickinson College, his father’s alma mater, in 1894 conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Laws and the same degree was conferred upon him by the University of Pennsylvania ten years later. Mr. Pattison was also actively identified with the general business interests of Phila- delphia, having been for many years a lead- ing member of the Board of Directors of the Trades’ League. He was aleo connected with other business organizations of the city. He was a member of Olive Branch Lodge 115, I. 0. O. F. ; Gov. Pattison was a commanding figure physically. He was more than six fees tall and of large frame. He was dark in com- plexion, with black hair and mustache and dark expressive eyes. As an orator he was extremely popular. His'langunage was cor- rect, his delivery excellent and his presence easy. HIS LIFE SKETCH. Robert Emory Pattison was born ab Quantico, Somerset county, Maryland, on December 8th, 1850.
