OF all our congressman, John Anderson

Harrison. But so far as any preferment Of
the Fifth district is concerned, Mr.. Ander

1t is said that the man in the AtchisOn

Several gentlemen, Senator Plumb in

presidents room. My previous impressions
had been derived from an attentive perusal
of all that had been written about him in
the preceding ten years; and it is curious
illustration of the fact that no matter how
well we may be supposed to be acquainted
