feat was due to the unpopularity of his
tariff reduction ideas among the large manu-

Belleville. Baker, the successful candidate
for congress, is a gentleman OF the old
school, dignified, formal, and deliberate, and
with nothing of the typical LABOR candidate
in his appearance. His speeches are rather
prosy, and his style speculative and alb
