cd by Mr.. Thurman's son in-law'
General Mccormick, Of A,izonia.--
1t must be a peculiar political house
hold, as Governor Mccormick is one
of the most STEWART Of Radical polls
ticians, and, it. is said that. Mrs. Nc.
Got4niek hal become "a cenyert ,to
! her husbands views. Senator Thur
man considers " ashington his home,
and spends all the time there, except
when he is absent campaigning, or
/ finds it necessary TO leave Washing-'
on on account Of the climate in the
Summer.
-. : 49, SENATOR .BAYARD,
ii his own right is a, man of but
moderate fortune, and nearly all of
THAT was inherited from his father;
but Mrs. Bayard has a considerable
estate, so that MI. Bayard himself
has never devoted his time to money
getting. He lives here in his own
house on Highland Terrace part
of the city which within the last 10
years has been greatly improved by
the taste and energy Of the Hon.
Thomas B. Bryan, Of Chicago, who
also has his Washington homestead
there. Mr.. Bayard elter'ains but
moderately. He keeps a good pair
of horses. His salary as Senator
must be an. Insignificant portion. of
his annual income. g.,.
/ SPEAKER. RANDALL,
while not making an active canvas,
is really considered by some Of the
most sagacious Of the Democracy as
among the most { nidable Of the
Presidential candidate Of that party.
Mr.. Randall's only house is in Wash
ington. 1t is very modest three
story brick structure, on the South
ern slope Of Capitol Hill, in an TN.
fashionable location. It is small
not large enough, indeed, for the Or
binary social courtesies which
Speaker is compelled to extend; but
Mr.. Randall is very moderate in his
entertainments, and is independent
j enough to defy some social prece-
! dents. He is strict temperance
{ man, and at his entertainments moth
] ing intoxicating is offered. He
/ gives no dinners, but once or twice a
! month during the Winter he has re.
!. ceptions 20 which persons are inyi.
+ ted by cards. The house is so small
e that it takes nearly the entire Win
;. ter to "make the rounds" Of the ne
: cessary social invitations.
a TOM. EWING.
k the man Of ambition who would be
i Governor, Sena.or, and President,
and all the rest, is a poor man. IL
! he was ever rich, it was speculative
4 soft Of wealth which made him ".and
s poor" Helives, in the Winter time,
o In a5hoafding house, in very mod
/ lest;way, and Of course, does not en-
terrain. Hckeeps no carriages, and
generally walks from The Capitol to
J his qnlrters. His ambition seems
II to furnish him with all the society
il that is necessary.
