when YOU are going about every day on
foot with an elastic tread, and with your
eyes as bright as when you were young
man." Mr.. Seymour could not deny but
that he is well and active. Senator john
ston, chairman Of the Senate Agricul-
tural Committee, received letter from
him to-day urging action to pre-
vent the spread OF the cattle disease.

manly hand OF one who is perfectly well,
he wrote complimentary notice Of the
Senator's address delivered last fall before
the Virginia State Agricultural Society.
beard Major John W. Daniel to-day ask the
most sagacious Democrat in the House who
he was for for President, and he replied:
81 am for Seymour, because l believe he
can certainly win. The fact is that il
New York presents him at Cincinnati he
will go through almost by reclamation,
and then be cannot decline"
