Senator Bayard is a "born Democrat,
but he never owned a slave nor was his
father, ex-senator James A. Bayard, a
Shareholder. Nor does the present Sena-

principally in the capacity of his brain,
his well cultured intellect, strong ply
siqhe made and kept so by constant exer-
else and training, in addition to severe
mental labor. Aside from these he is

pounded the foor with feet, sticks and
umbrellas until the dust rose in cloud.
Nh. Bayard was visibly affected at the
warmth OF his reception. Tears sprang
| to his eyes, and at the first lull in the

speaking, but hardly dared trust his voice.
| Then the cheering broke out again, if
possible, more vigorously than before, and
! for some minutes after Mr.. Bayard had
| recovered his composure he stood before
THO multitude unable to make himself
heard. AT length the assemblage subsi-
| deti TO silence. Then the Senator spoke
| in the clear and sonorous tones of a prac-
ticed orator, and with all the earnestness
Of one whose whole soul was engrossed
in his subject
Not only was Mr.. Bayard thus vel
