There are many things to be said
in favor of Judge Gresham as a

go he has a marked resemblance to

for loyalty to his friends is taci-
turn and reseryed-he is Stalwart.
With Phelps as second, he can car
~ New York and Indiana, He is
against monopolies-he would poll
more labor votes than any other Re-
publican. He is splendid and SIX
feet high, and his eyes are hazel, full
and large, with power to threaten
and command, or look love to eyes
that speak again-he loves equality
and despises the ueehnicalities of law
he was a good soldier and loyal brig.
adier-and with all is a good deal of
Sunday school hero. He has the
/ further Presidential recommenda.
ton of having been born in a log
cabin-of having had but scanty
schooling-of being good Presby
terian-of being a poor man who if
not worth more than $4,000. Their
he has the furt her qualification of 6
lucky star having had all his good
positions fall to him by luck anG
without seeking. Then he can com
mand the full Irish vote because b,
was born on st. Patrick's day. H,
can control the full Stalwart vot.

He can count upon the full soldier
vote because he is a wounded veter
