member of sterling character, and there
is no installing him as a man whose
every action is prompted by the purest

a mere partisan, and makes of him 4
devoted friend of the just and the true,
and one that is not swayed or influ-

beard and dark hair; native Of Mis-
souri,; aged Al years; married, and
