of the present conflict are passed, when the
cmbittered feelings of the partizan are hush

and views the storm, and securely guides the
ship of state. Renewed applause With
playful wit ard in simple FORMS he inculcates
the deepest and soundest philosophy. He

them with cearness and force worthy of

In public life, honest, frank, noble. As a
statesman, his power is felt and acknowledged

Do YOU ask me to name the man of the

The Assembly was called to order by John

caucus met again, and nominated w ".
Field for Speaker on the 9th formal ballot,
after having quite a spirited time. Webb
led Field on the lst ballot; on the 4th ballot
Field led Webb votes, when Webb with

him. John S. Dean was nominated for Clerk
