" A third candidate [for the mayoralty] now formally presented for our suffrages is Mr. William Harvard Eliot [1821], a gentleman whose popularity with all classes of citizens will ensure him a very considerable vote. Of the many good qualities which have given him this popularity and justified his friends in bringing his name before the public, we are prepared to speak cheerfully and liberally. . . .
"Alas! The voice of praise and the commendations of friendship have no power to recall the breath that is gone, nor can the recital of claims to public honors and dis- tinctions 'provoke the silent dust, or soothe the dull, cold ear' of the dead. Well may we exclaim, in the language of Burke, 'What shadows we are ! what shadows we pursue !' Our pen refuses all other office, - that to blot out nearly all that we have written as useless and unavailing; for, before we had finished our contemplated task, the subject of our recommendation ceased to be a candidate for the honors that his friends and fellow-citizens were preparing to bestow. William H. Eliot [1821] is dead. That short sentence comprises all that can now be said of him in connection with the topics discussed in this article. His merits deserve a different notice, but the present moment is too affecting -and here we stop." 1
