ments of his office are in keeping

face AMI Welcoming but awakened
ewes of tine gray blue. and ii stature
and body up to or above the. middle
size. Not a doubt ar suggestion Of
the commonplace or the careless or
vet the iastidiou, is afforded by his
arisen presence and reception. He
casts the glow Of professional and
martial and still youthful nature IL
the blu>hing gratitude of great,
fresh honor. ana still SO sincere and
witful tina, his ear and tongue make
no mistakes, GenuineneSs, reflection
and executive GOODNESS are the inn
preSsIuns he makes in u few MINUTES.
The dull, sluggish, ccntaurian nature,
going by instinct to lts object, Is not
there. nor vet the IN re volatile poll

tence in the mouth of modest man
as for another, VITO has sought the
Presidency ali nis life, u say, II
would rather he right than Presi-

So good government that the eenti-
