How IT WAS ARRIVED Ar.-After

the editor of the Democrat cyphered to
make his sheet two-sevenths greater
than the TRIBUNE. He measured the en-
tire surface of matter on the inside of
his paper, and the tax>list,supplement--
We have iniustrously worked OUT this
sum and know he could get the answer
he gave by no other process. 1t is un-
necessary to talk about this matter, any
body can see at half glance, by COM
pairing the two papers, that the tribune
contains at least third more reading
matter than the Democrat or any other
paper in the county, 1t our up town
neighbor doubts this he can be convinced
by measuring and computing,
That in reading DemocraticI paper
there is such preponderance of satis>
faction may be true; but why do SO few

embraced in its scope, which just touched
and made vivid the salient points in Mr.. res
senden's career, There was, as befitted SO
sagacious business man as Mr.. Lynch,
marked reference to Mr.. Fessenden's mar
agement;of the Treasury, in which attention
was fastened upon the fact of the thorough
confidence it showed in the patriotism Of the
people. Mr.. Lynch's reference to Mr.. Fes-
senden's deep and tender friendship will
probably crafty those who like himself were
the friends and neighbors of the senator.
Mr.. Peters followed. He was more ornate
and the close of his eulogy was both chaste
and eloquent. Mr.. Brooks of New York was
sery fortunate. He alluded TO the fact of their
boyhood's friendship, giving happy sketch OF
Mr.. Fessenden's character, showing how other
personal associations had moulded both their
political opinions, and in closing made hap
py and forcible reference to the personal in
tegrity which Mr.. Fessenden possessed, inde-
pendent. if need was, of even the most earnest
party dictation.
Mr.. Dawes of Massachusetts, also followed
in scholarly and appreciatiye paper, and Mr..
Hale of your State closed, making in matter
and manner marked and forcible impression
upon the House. Mr.. Hale evidently has the
stuff in him for legislative success. Perhaps
the happiest reference of the day was that of
Mr.. Hale's in speaking of Mr.. Fessenden as
the man who always sought the safe channels
and never risked shipwreck from wish to
show his eli nc a ,iIot
CONCLUDING WORD.
1t is forced from my pen by the somewhat
unexpected Ito me recognition of such warm
personal friendships and kindliness on the
part of Mr.. Fessenden. II was never your
correspondents fortune to know the dead
statesman, except as public man. 1 never
even spoke to him. confess Mr. Fessenden
always impressed me personally like a man
who moved through the world clothed as it
were, with Scotch mist, ready to chill to the
takeo in this, for all unite in other declala-
tions, and the feeling I had must have been
only caused by that atmosphere which the
necessity of protection against stran gers and
bores, flung around him.
Intellectually his lack seems to have been a
want of Imagination and a scorn of the weak
