The CHIEF EXECUTIVES OF Ten
STATES PHOTOGRAPHED WITH
THE Pen.

| happen to have met ten of the pre-.
sent Governors Of the States-includ-
ing Scales of North Carolina, who is
about going in, and Waller of Connec-
! ticut, who is just coming out-and
have reasonably good acquaintance
with most of them. Governor Patti
son is the youngest of them and the
most austere. Governor Cameron of
Virginia is the most convival, but |
should judge not the least intellectual.
He has never recovered from the
social disfavor visited upon him by
his association with Malone. He
tried to unbuckle the collar of that
| tyrannical little boss when it frettei
him, but it was too late. Governor
J. Proctor Knott of Kentucky reached
the height of his ambition when he
got into the Executive chair of his
State and he may be expected to retire
from it to private life when his term
is ended. Knott has a fine artistic
taste and when boy developed some
genius for sculpture. Governor Nc
Daniel of Georgia is an industrious,
painstaking man, with good reputa-
ton as lawyer, though he has an
impediment in his speech that must
have interlered with his success as an
advocate. Governor McLane of Mary
land is the worthy n Of ar illustri-
Gus sire. He has seen great deal of
public life and talks like oook-a
every interesting book at that. Cover
nor Hoadley of Ohio is the ablest law

ed and able man-pos:tive and yet
practical, determined, but courteous
and genial.
Governor Albeit of New Jersey is a
born fighter; an aggressive, untiring
man, who generally carries bis point.
There is no executive mansion in
Trenton and the Governor does not
have to live at the State Capital. He
keeps his house in Jersey City and his
law practice there and across the ferry.
Like his predecessor in Office, Cover
nor Mcclellan, Albeit was born in
Philadelphia. Governor Waller started
life as newsboy; he got along. He
has smooth face, long. bushy, dark
hair and wears gold eyeglasses. He
talks fluently and agreeabIy and is
said to resemble Stephen A. Douglas
in personal appearance. Like Albeit.
he is a fighter and has strong personal
preferences and dislikes, but he never
hits below the belt. During his term,

ton. He was comparatively un-
known man and was then making the
acquaintancc of many of the New
York politicians for the first time.
His dignified, quiet manner, his speech
and the way he delivered it impressed
them fayorably. He wasn't awkward
about it, as though somebody else had
written it for him; nor did he deliver
it with monotonous explosiveness, as
though he didn't understand the sense

then, viewing the possibility of the
future, with relation to what the poll

brought ashore, that he seemed to
have no "bee in his bonnet" and all
his subsequent movements showed
that if he was really desirous of the
Presidency it never swerved him from
the path of duty.
