Beauty Before Impudence-
That is What Lew.
Steward Says.
And Refuses to Talk About
St. Louis Until After Mr..
Tilden has Spoken.
Notwithstanding Which, He De-
fines His Position Pretty
Much the Same.
A Rough and Tumble Statement
Of His Views on q Variety
OF Subjects.

The Times man was not the person he
expected. When that representative of
the greatest newspaper in America step
ped from the car and confronted him
with, "Good evening governor" and an
nounced his calling and his mission, Ne
was astonished, but pleased. Abandon
ing his lookout. he pointed the re-
trousse organ above referred to eastward,
and invited the stranger to 90 with him,
and started for home. As pleasant
home as need be, 1t seemed, when at the
end Of ten minutes walk they halted at
an opening in beautiful hedge. where
two great stones, unhewn and Of some
strange old formation marked the place

acres and shaded by magnificent forest
trees was crossed by a grand gravel
walk which led to the door of small
but handsome house, built In halt imi-
tation Of the southern style, with veran-
dss on the outside and hall running
through from front to rear. A modest
house, but very comfortable in all its as

home. There was great flower garden
to the left, and the great barns in the
rear and between two fine old trees

Mr.. Steward is not taciturn man. Ii
has conversational powers of a monolt

other candidate whatsoever. For $
fluent talker,
HE TALKS WELL,
but like most fluent takers, his talk
strongly tinctured with Ego. There is
sort OF vanity In his composition tn,

but never is offensive. He thinks gre,
