wiring, but keeping an eye constantly on
! what goes on. When important questions
are to be considered he is awake, and putting g
aside everything else
WATCHES THE DEBATES
with interest. When he speaks there is at
tention from both sides. His voice is rather
| agreeable, his gestures graceful, his argu-
meuts clear, concise and telling. His home
| is on one of the most fashionable avenues of
the city, modest, rather old fashioned brick
building with q roomv porch in front, a
broad hall, tastefully but rather plainly fur
nished parlor, which is pretty well
filed when his family are all at home, for he
has four or five children. In the social world
his family is less known than those Of many
who have not been here half so long, for
they are inclined to be very exclusive" If
| Mr.. Bayard should be secretary of state and
Mrs. Bayard should have as tight grasp on
| the management of affairs at the White
house as Mrs. Frelinghuysen has had during
| Arthur's term, the exclnsiveness there would
be quite as great as was expected would be
| the case under Mr.. Blaine in case
of mis- election. Mr.. Bayard, as
| is well known, is third in direct
succession in the Bayard family who have
! done service in the senate; his grandfather,
James A. Bayard, having been member Of
the Fifth. Sixth and Seventh congresses, and
| then u member of the senate; his father,
! James A. Bayard, serving in the senate from
81 to 80, and then the present senator TAX
| ing the seat.
Senator Jonas Is another cabinet probabl.
| ity, though not 80 much talked about as some
of the others. He was hard worker during the
campaign. and proved himself an astute polit-
| ica adviser. The gossips do not say so much
about him as many ot the others, but those
| pretty near to the throne say he is really more
likely to be chosen than many Of those more
talked of. One thing in his favor Is that he
goes out Of the senate at the end Of the pres
ent session, so that his selection would not
seem so much like ''robbing Peter to pay
| Paul. as is the case where live senators with
LONG TERMS OF Usefulness
before them in the senate are thought Of.
Jonas is a small man physically, weighing
perhaps l25 pounds, with black hair mixed
with gray, a neatly trimmed and trained
inustache, small but regular features,
rather handsome face, which lights up
with a pleasant smile when he speaks He is
| a native Of Kentucky, of Hebrew parentage,
! il is said, educated in Illinois, and for the
I
past thirty years resident OF Louisiana. His
| seat in the senate Is on the outskirts,
| In the last row in the Democratic
| side He does not speak often, and does
| not command any great attention when he
does 30. and it is only since he developed his
political ability in the last campaign that be has
been thought Of in this connection. He lives
| in quiet way at the Portland, having With
| him his wife and daughter, both Of whom go
/ occasionally into society, but not often. He
| was private in the Confederate army, ris-
Ing to the position of adjutant. He is one Of
! the
MOST FAULTLEsstY DRESSED MEN
| in the senate, though not giving such atten-
ton TO his personal appearance as to cause
especial remark.
| Mr. R1ndalrs face and figure are so
/ well known and have been so often given
to the public that any detailed descrip-
