ANnTHER RIPLD REASOYER.

Senator logan has rival. When that states
man ounounced that ne had given the subject
of finance foItnght's careful consideration
and study, and had reached conclusions upon
the subject that would revoutionlze the science
of pofitical economy, whole nation STOOD oil
and wondered at the reach AID scope and Yigor
Of his intellect, and the rapiditE ard original
ity Of his processes. Bat here Is man IN
Maine, Gen. r. j. Anderson, delegate to the
/ 81. Louis Convention, and a member OF the
committee appointed by that body to wait
upon GOV. Tilden and inform him of his noml-
nation. swho does not require fortmghtS
| study TO make up his mind on a much more
complicated and mcertaIn-indrcd we may
saw a much more slippery and elusive subject
than that of finance. Anderson was, rs has
! been remarked, a member of the committee
| that waited ON Gov. Tiljen-thc committee
! whose mOuth-picce Wa, ,he fluent anG lmpas-
stoned McClcmGnl; the committee which, on one
of the hottest nights of This hot Summer, flung
! AT GOV. Tidcn full half hOnr Of Indiana 0rat0ly
| of such f"rvOr ma intensity aS To cNtDrt IRON
| the mariyrcd nominee the earnest c0nnndium'
| "What Is the matter with Hanna = And
| being on th, committee, Anderson had an OPP
portunitv, not only to hear McCIcmanG and
| Uapna-cf itself a liberal cducation--but 10 see
Tidcn. Having seen him. he returned full OF
! il 10 Maine. At Portland, Me-, thcy immedl-
| atry called a ratification meeting. aud Ander-
son addressed it. Knowing that there must be
! sonA curiosity upon the subject of the nominee
! for the Presidency. Anderson sill
! had the opportunity low nights since OF meeting
sir Tldcr Of the delegates lent hy the ConV'n
ton 10 inform him OF ms nomination. Ana VIII say
I NIL 80 u.gpRpn f
mind a man 81 strong sense man OF innrNb.' hihl
| ness A man who would know Kitchen Cabinet man
| who world know ring, man who, II he - elected
| President will De- President of the United states.
There. now, is a man who has instincts and
! munitions lie does not need to be with Il
| candidate more than an hour or TO 20 round
| him more than once to decide whether or not
| he has the necessary qualifications Having
! looked upon Mr.. Tidcn while he WAS under
going McClcrnand, and having observed that
he bore it without linching, Anderson says to
! the Portland people from his own observation
! that he i, "a man of power of mind" Having
watched the play of his features when the
| letter of the committee was read To him. he
proponnces him from his own observation Il
'.man of s.roug sense" Having remarked his
patience during IIanna's address, he does not
|
he is "a man of mfcxiblc lirmness." Having
| noticed that the members of the committee
! had to bc introduced, he feels authorized to
say from his own observation that he Is =" il
"man who would know no kitchen Cabi-
met man who would know no ring"
And finally, Anderson eliminates the re-
! suits of his own observations III the
prediction that eff he is elected Prcsi-
"dent, he will be President Of the United
States" To the people Of Maine who have
had doubts upon this point and have feared
that if elected President he would be Presi-
| dent of Guatemala or some OF the Central
| American States, or perhaps of an insurance
company, tins assurance of Anderson must
have been very gratifying. The speech was
received with great enthusiasm. Ii must have
greatly relieved the popular mind in Maine.
It remains only to he said that no man in
this country ever learned so much in so short
time az Gen. T.. J. Anderson, ana no COM
| munity was ever so easily satisfied as the Port
! land people seem to have been with the
| results of one mans observations. Mr. T'ildcn
may be all that Gen. Anderson represents him,
| but what man Anderson must be to have
found it all out so quich. Upon the whole,
| Anderson is more rapid dlscOyerer than
| Logan.
