A POPULAR MAN.-Whatever may be
said in dispraise of Andy Johnson's
temper, judgment, and political views,
it cannot be denied,tha lie is. person
ally, one OF the, most, popular men in
the country. Witness in testimony of
this the ebullition Of pleasure all over
the land upon the announcement that
the ex-President had been triumphantly
elected to the Senate of the United
States. He was overwhelmed with
congratulatory dispatches; the Demo-
cratic, Assembly Of New Jersey put its
satisfaction into resolution, and the
people of Buffalo theirs into salute
of hundred guns. The most common
expression OH exultant lips was, "An-
dy's going back, and acoPt he. make it
&st ,fog iiaml" The popular heart ap-
preciated the poetic Justice involved in
the return of johnson to the body
which attempted to destroy him five
years ago. He wascast out by the pol
iticians at the end of his Presidential
term, and the people have sent him
back to Washington. One secret of
Johnson's popularity with the Amer
ican people is that he. is courageous
man. The American people admire
pluck, and they will forgive public
man many of his faults il he only
stands up to and fights for his convicr
tions. And another reason the masses
like johnson is, because he is honest.
No bribe has stained his fingers during
o public career of forty years-from
Alderman " Of his native village" to
Governor, from Senator to President.
For these reasons the people rejoice
that he has come back to. public life,
and there is no danger that they will
lack sympathy with him in the future,
when he g swings around the circle" in
defense of the Constitution, the Union
and the fagj with thirty-seven1 stars
upon its folds; not one erased. a,it |
