NOTHING succeeds like success" il
an aphorisin ancient aud true. A
month ago Speaker Keifer was almost
unknown Ia the country ut large. In
Congress he hal achieved a reputation
rs an ambitious. energetic man. who
was accustomed To make the most of
quite moderate talents, and could not
always command the attention of the
House. His candidacy for the Speak
ership was made light Of and his pre-
tensions uocked ~ the idle boasting
Of a to" ambitious man. However,
the last became first, and Mr.. Speaker
Kcifer j. mentioned as a possible can
didate for the Presidency in 1854. Mr..
Keifer may have all the qualifications
Of an excellent President, but the fact
that they wrr. discovered only after
his accession to an office of the first
Importance is instructive as showing
what changes day may bring forth.
