bluff and hearty manner, and euioys good
! cigar. In debate he comes TO the point at
Q. &c. There is no beating about the bush.
| He charges home direct, and either routs or
is routed, He holds no animosties, and is
just the man TO hug a fellow VINO had beaten
him black and blue in fair fight Joe"
as his friends endearingly term him, is we'll
versed in parliame tary law. When an
| ab2traet point of order is made, he is one of
| the six who open their desk and drag out
| the red DO k. No man can split hair
| finer, and none can more adroitly escape
| from a dilemma. MIR. Cannon always
arises at prayers, and he is certainly as pious
as any of the seven candidates.
The Hawk-Eye candidate is the Hon
David Bremmer Henderson of Dubuque.
| Henderson is of Scotch birth, and is AS
years old. This is his third term in congress.
He lost leg in the war, but his most init.
mate friends w uld never know it unless
they had heard OF II. Henderson is sturdy
and flue 10 king. He has silvery mus
| tache and thick, iron-grav hair. Eis eyes
are steel-blue. He is an eloquent speaker,
and is aggressive in debate He was the
only republican TO reply to the magnificent
speech of W ilham Bourke Cochran in de-
Tense Of President Cleveland, waile the re-
taliation bill was under consideration The
reply, like the spesch, was off-hand 1t was
certainly as good as tho reply of Joe Black
burn TO Senator ingalls,, Though it did not
attract as much public attention. Hender-
son also lately distinguished himself in a
rough-and- oratorical fight with
Gen. James b. Weaver. 1t was lovely
scrimmage. Many man would have gone
hundreds miles to have seen it. Hender-
son more than held his own, and got away
with the belt The general smokes good
cigars, and is an adept in that peculiar
western game known as blue Peter he
always arises at prayers, and probably goes
10 confession as often as any Of the seven
ca didates.
The Excelsior candidate is John NJ.
Farquhar Of Buffalo He, also, is of
Scotch birth, and is 80 years old deserved
IN the Union army, and is one Of the fifteen
printers in congress. This is his sec nd
term. He has devoted himself to the study
of the rules and practices Of the House, and
is able to cope on p 1Ints of order with men
of far greater legislative experience
FarQuhar was once President Of the Ma
tional Typographical Union. He has a fne
uresenc. 3, and is man Of weight in debate
If elevated to the speakers chair, be would
be the Il. st New York representative to re-
ceive that honor in over sixty years. Mr..
Farquaar always arises at prayers, and is
undoubtedly as orthodox in religion as any
Of the seven candidates.
The Bay state candidate is the Hon
He ry Cabot Lodge of Boston. He is 80
years Old, and graduate of Harvard. This
is his first term. He is studious and uno
trusive, yet able and accomplished. No
new member his refieated more clear intel
lectual light His speeches are repleie with
logic, and admirable in dction. He chases
the anise-seed bag, but there is none Of g
dude In his composition. His manner is at
active, aud he has won a host of friends.
II is safe 10 venture the prediction, that il
he is a can hdate he doesn't know it. Mr..
Lodge usually arises at prayers. He is as
fully as eccle ,iastical in bearing as any OF
the seven candidates
