-His Views in Regard 70 the Presidential
Candidates.
The effect Of time, opposition and retire
ment upon the weasel ol Chautauqua has
bsen on the whole advantageous. His fur
is sleek, his bite toothsome, his eve good
for night watch or the day. \ fine frost, !
such as we see on the silver fox or occa-
sionally on the Alaska fur seal, decorates
his beard and hair. He takes suspiciously
to question, but grows more polite as he
evades it. until finally he seems to shed
interrogation points like polished steel. He
is the best master We possess of personal di-
plomacy and should have preferred port
folio to sword. His type is rare, even in
America, where We possess all admixtures
Of race. He seems to walk on down, smile
out of a jewel case, to converse out of
book of universal concurrence, to reflect
host of hues from his complexion like
black cat in the dark and TO purr.
THE FELINE TYPE
il Fenton's, yet in office few men have
equal self-management, or more distin-
guished appearance. Every scale or SEM
blance of former business career has de-
parted from his polished exterior, and the
forest storekeeper and lumberman on the
mountains is sleeker than Richelieu, and
polite as George Calvert. No time was ever
squandered by this economical nature in
the pursuit Of malice or revenge. His
fiery haired colleague in the Senate expends
three or four times Fenton's personal force
every day in mere personality, mental or
silent a the grave, whether to enemy or
friend. If the corpse OF yesterday gets up
in the shape of some opponent, the ex-sena-
tor extends hand and remarks: why,
Mr.. Lazarus, let me inquire for your fam
ily."
Nobody ever lived who could refuse his
hand, or refusing it did not feel self-re-
proved afterward. Not on speaking terms"

an element, from its very independence at
a time like this, is more apt to be Republi-

Of Gov. Tilden has been very popular in
this State, but it is remarked that much OF
his work has been done in the face OF the
