A DREAMER AND A BLATHERsK1rE,


tier, more womanish nature than Lamar.-
tie Is a dreamer, poet. His life has
been passed among books. He was long
a college professor. Just enough of ac.
tive. practical experience, as soldier and
as traveller, he has had to give him some
what Of the knowledge of a politician and
man Of the world. But he makes poor
figure Of either character; he is a statesman
and philosophers man of profound con.
victions-and owes his great place in popu-
lar esteem to his genius, sustained by ply
sical and moral courage Of SO high an order
that his enemies respect him All men,
who know him at all, know him to be inca
pable OF premeditated discourtesy or offense.
Known to be fearless man. he never had
difficulty or alteration in his life; aud
nothing short of the intoerablc insolencc
Of Mr. Conklng could have stung him into
the kind Of rejoindcr which he made.
And who is Mr.. Conkling? The coun-
try knows him chiefly through the dcscrip.
ton Of MIR. Blaine But it is not SO iamil-
lar with him as his colleagues. Mr.. Couk.
ling is a brilliant actor. Tho offspring of
dung.hill, he has the cuteness Of the
horse jockey; but, having the physique of
butcher and the voice Of an oratorical
yender Ct wart cures, he set up for an Of
flee. c.seekcr, and has, by hook aud crook
educating himself as he progrcsscd-comc
to be, not merely a Senator, but sur.
prisingly good stage-player. Vulgar by
naturc-and rapidly growing very coarse
and common in his exterior-the result of
habits which are no longer secret at
Washington-hc has for two or three wears
attempted to make up his moral and intel.
lectual losses by mere swaggcr. Select.
ing for the victims Of his rage an entire
people, instead of a single individual, he
has, like the poor coward that he is, strut.
ted his strut, exploding his miscellaneous
vulgarity at long range, but carefully avoid
ing to tread upon approximate toes. This
sort of thing generally comes La ssief. ~.
OF course tho Republican press wiiftl
another view Of it. Yet, there is not Q
Republican editor, who has sense enough
to carry him to Washington and back, who
does not know that Conkling is what VIZ
have represented him. More than this
he is as corrupt hound as ever sat in Con
gross, for there are dozens of people whC
have more than reason to suspect that b,
was willing to sell himself to the Democrat
for price in '76-7.
