compliment, for most of them believe that
| by persistence they can win and secure the
presidency for Ohio, and this is q thing
| which the average Ohoan has come to
| think is absolutely essential to his peace of

men:
| Booth (senator from California; thinks
Brstow would be the best republican can
didate for the presidency-an opinion in
which | incline to agree. know Bristow
very well. He looks like president, and
| has many quallhcations Tor that high office.
He would make a grand president, noble
looking, dignified man, of grande impresse-

chivalrous in everything, somewhat quick
| tempered, an educated Jackson, think.
| BristOw is not as ambitious as Booth, does
not really care much to be president, but II
he should it will be almost in spite of him
| self"
