S,.ntenant Governor would certainly sweep the
ktate for he Is probably the best looking candidate

ofthe Hon. Jonn Morrissey. and a handsome, large
head He wears an ample black beard, which
xves him sti more formidable aspect. His
manner forms striking contrast to his gigantic
stature, being as gentle and suave as 1t well can
be. The following conversation, held by him with
reporter OF the HERALD, on the progress OF the
canvass, will be found OF especial INTEREST,"
