1427 - L Nov. 26: ed: 2/1 - The announcement that James C. Medill is
dead will be sad news for his many friends in this city and throughout
the northwest who knew him as one of the ablest journalists of the time.
He was one of the founders of the Republican party, and was at one time
connected editorially with the LEADER, where he proved himself a pro-
found thinker and able writer, and champion of human rights. During . . . .
the period he was connected with the agricultural interests of the north- ‘
west he did much to elevate the standards of agriculture. He entered
politics in 1860 and did good service in the cause of freedom. He was
in constant pain for several years, being a sufferer from rheumatism.
"The Creat truths he enunciated will live for all time, while many of
the cardinal principles he advocated have already been adopted by this
country." . - (11)
