! His style is easy and pleasing. He is the
I pOssessor of a telescope, An expensive mi
crOscope, and one Of th, most extensive
and valuable scientific lihr.ries. His read
ing, however, has not been exclusively
scientific, but varied and catholic, and his
knowledge Of general literature, history,
politics and political economy makes him
an agreeable companion for those who care
neither for the mystery of the stars nor
the marvels of the ponds. His life has
been essentially quiet one, spent i'll work
and study. He has in a larger degree
than most men commanded the respect and
confidence Of his fellow workmen, and
many votes were cast for HIM and his
ticket during the late election on grounds
purely personal To himself He is moder
ate and courageous in speech, and has
passed through severe election contest
with more Of goodwill towards him on
both sides than perhaps ever before fell to
the lot of any candidate under similar cir
cumstances His residence in the States
led him to revise many Of his earlier opin-
ions On general politics and political econ
omy, which III greater or less degree Is
not an unusual result with English resi-
dents there; the most notable instance,
perhaps, being that Of Professor Goodwin
Smith. Since Mr.. Witton's residence in
Hamilton, he has always voted with the
party now known as the party of Union
and Progress" His mother still survives
in hale old age, and will read with pride
i'll the Old World Of his triumph III the
New, and will have the pleasure and graft
tication Of feeling that not in vain we're all
the efforts and sacrifices she made to give
him that education and training which has
led to such results.
