Mr. Sumner is boosted by his friends OF Admi-

heart in his person. He said to be the true type q
gentleman He tells another part OF his letter that
ths the first time in his life he has been called 10 p0-

opinions binding him to the most ultra opinions that ever

enemies Ii his voice that, few weeks ago, denied
