senator wiggln Is an Orator.

The Republican paper published in Mr..
Virgins district, styles him an "undisputed
MASTER of 'fowery and ornamental rhetoric"
and says this "style" with him is the '.result
of no sudden inspiration" As long ago as
1858, at Lecompton gathering in the west
ern portion of the first Congressional district,
he is reported to have given birth to the fol-
lowing burst of burning eloquence:
The news of Ira T. Drew's election would
I'll the land with joy-fy on the wings of the
lightning over the Atlantic cable, and be re-
ceived with delight in the royal palaces of Eu-
rope, and the bondmen of Poland would sing
peans Of praise, and the serfs of Russia raise
shouts of joy to the notes of the first district
for electing Ira T. Drew.
"But," says the paper referred to, "Drew was
not elected; the Atlantic cable was failure !;
the palaces of Europe lost the expected source
of delight; the bondmen of Poland sang less
peans, and the serfs of Russia withheld their
shouts of joy. Not so with Wiggin. He kept
right on-cultivating his powers of eloquence,
and, although the above may be considered
perfect in its way, there are many passages in
his speeches in the Senate, during the past
winter, which fully attest how much can be
accomplished by a few years of patient toll
and industry"
