JMany times have I seen his usual composure and his calm diction give way to enthusiasm and impassioned utterance as he dwelt on them. He loved Chicago and he loved Illinois even more. I was brought into frequent official contact with him while I was the legal adviser of the Lincoln Park Commissioners, during his administration. Whatever ignorant or prejudiced criti- cism may have said, I can bear witness from the most inti- mate personal knowledge that the great pleasure grounds of the people ...were the subject of his constant and watchful care with an eye single to the greatest benefit to be obtained from them for the greatest number of people. That the Lake Shore, which had been largely lost to the public south of the Chicago River, should be preserved north of the River to the northern limit of Lake View as the basis of suitable 30 recreation grounds to be built on the submerged shallows of Lake Michigan, for the use of the countless multitudes who are to follow us, was one of the projects closest to liis heart.
