Edmunds As He Is,
AN EDMUNDS TOTALLY DIFFERENT
FROM THE IDEAL EDMUNDS.

"With Edmmds President you would
have to send man ahead to discover
his humOr before going yourself to the
White House, no matter how pressing
your business.
So said one who spoke not from hear
say. The Vermont Senator makes a
virtue of standing straight. He stands
so straight that at times he leans back
ward. Persons who have observed him
closely say that he is frequently out of
plumb. He is credited with an effort to
maintain the perpendicular, but his best
friends admit tlRt he sometimes misses
it, and that, too, just when it would
not be expected of him.
1t has been said of the Vermont Sen
atOr that he can see fly on a barn door
a mile away, without either seeing the
barn or the door. The reason for this
peculiar faculty, when aScertained. will
explain how he gets out of plumb. His
honesty of purpose is not questioned. al
though he found no difficulty in putting
public vessel to private use and Civ
ing a reason which did not hold water.
He always intends to be civil, but more
frequently than any other man in the
Senate is he indebted to other Senators
for their forbearance. At times kindly
and even humorous, he is capable of
making persons wish they had not Spo-
ken to him. 1t is this popularity,
doubtless, which gives rise to the say
ing that if EdmmdS were President
you would have TO ascertain the state
of his mind before venturing into the
White House. Persons best acGuaint-
ed with Mr.. EdmundS study time and
circumstances i'll approaching him.
Were he installed in the White House
it would not be long before the promis-
cuous crowd which frequentS the White
House at the beginning of an andminis-
Tation would thin out.
No man on the list of actual or posi-
BILE candidates for the Republican NOM
matiou is so little understood as the
Vermont Senator. lie has not the pa
thence to consider questions in the prac-
tical light which the President, as the
head Of his party, is expected to do.
When he has made up his mind there is
an end of it His best friends admit
that he is as liable as men in general not
to be always right. \ stubborn, wilful
man Is diSagreeable object to cOntem-
plate In the White House. There was
touch oft i'll Andrew Johnson's time.
such men have their blind side, and
sometimes become instruments in art
ful hands. With Mr.. Edmunds for Pres
ldent the Republican party would not
be sure where it would land in the first
SIX months. Men in general could new
er be certain what was going to happen.
As the Vermont Senator is more and
more mentioned as a candidate you hear
comments of this description from those
who have the best opportunity for form
ing correct opinions. 1t would be the
Edmunds that is, and not the one of
whom an instinct idea prevails, that
would be President.
