Lackadaisical George F. Baker
addressed very small and much
cruc.fied audience in Court street
last night. His hair was most ac-
curately parted in the middle, his
costume was faultless and he look
ed like a darling and daisy. But,
unfortunately, between the reader
and ourselves, the Hon. George
lacks the upper WORKS which COM
mend an orator to an audience
composed of people Of robust COM
mon sense. The Hon. George
thought, last year, that he was u
candidate for Congress, and yet he
only got one vote in the nominal.
ing Convention. PaohecO, the sue
cessful nominee, is afflicted with a
confluence Of speech and q paucity

Paui's injunction to contain him.
self; but, with an extraordinary
amount Of confluence, he let's out
the fact that, from an intellectuA NJ
standpoint, he IL snide. The Hon.
George, on the other hand. is OPP
pressed by God aud nature
with that little learning
which is dangerous thing;
and, though he has quaffad
scarcely q thimbleful from the
Pierian spring, lie is pert enough
to consider himself an orator and
| Sir Oracle. His dreAry plaitudes,
strung out for hours, in words Of
learned length and laundering
sound, have a most soporific effect
upon an audience. In truth, he Is
an oratorical somDambulist, his
sleeping phantasy being that he
can discuss campaign Issues. Some
day or other the Hon. George f.
Baker will awake to the fact that
he ia a dreary travssty on an inter
esting talksr, and we arc afraid the
shock OF the awakening will be
