The mode and style OF Earl Derty's speech and

described Tor the very simple reason tnat neither In
person nor demeanor does he ofer those marked
traits and characteristics that are SO frequently the
conspicuous attributes OF distinguished men. Old
Earl DerDy, who mas just been gathered TO his

passion and venemence tnat give the gifted speaker

respect are pure defects OF temperament. He Is
cool even TO the borders OF being pnegmatlc, calm
and methodlc liable TO be affected, not through the
medium Of the senses or fancy, bus solely through
the intellectual approaches OF pure reasoning. Con-
