Major Jno. n. Edwards was in town, last
Thursday, fully recovered from his attack of
illness. He says that it was not apOpleXy
but simply gastric vertigo, superinduced by
loss OF sleep and Ov%er-eXertion. He is look
ing very well indeed. His stay here during
the day was a continual ovation from his
many friends, which means pretty much
everybody in town who has resided here any
length of time. There is something peculiar
ly attractive about the man that makes every
body love him. A pretender to no virtue
whatever, there is not a purer man in Mis-
s%ouri-one who more thoroughly scOrns to
do a mean or a little or 4 mercenary act. In
politics all his life, he has fought q thousand
fights for others, never one for him sell. Gen
erous to a fault he is always ready to aid OF
defend a friend. With a bravery that made
HIM conspicuous among the brave, he is as
gentle As a woman, and lives so much in his
emotions that what he writes is poetry in
prose. His political vision Is so accute that
he rarely errs in his judgment in that field
and his honesty of statement is never called
in question. Brilliant with the pen, he is a.
loyal to democracy as a Bayard is to honor
and when the fray is hot is always ut the fore,
Lafayette county, where JOhn Edward:
learned his trade as a printer, is proud o
him, and welcomes him back to the scenes O
his bOyhoOd, those rosy days of youth fol
which wealth and ease, and even fame, car
never compensate.
