PEN PICTURE OF FITCH.
The Sacramento Bee thus

The Sacramento Bee thus
dresses up Tom Fitch in a style
that couldn't be excelled by Fitch
himself:
And now Hon. Thomas Fitch
has gone to Denver, Colorado.
Fitch is broken monuments to a
mi,spent genius, majestic ruin
Of line which might have been
great, and good, and noble. With
tongue that could wheedle the
devil; with power Of oratory
whose sarcasm cuts like the sword
of Sala lin; with a witchery OF
imagery that only Ingersoll can
rival; with wealth and fecundity
Of expressi n that can make him,
like Dean Swift, grow eloquent
over broomstick; with a mar
velous richness OF metaphor and
an oriental Go conda of SMILES:
with a dizziness at repa' tee and a
skill at argumentative PAIRING
which have been the wonder of
half a dozen States and Ter itor-
les; with a wand of pathos that
can transport his audience through
the shadowy vale of tears, and a
brawny shilleiah Of humor that
whacks them back into the land
of laughter as quick as a fla h;
with an eloquence that WHITES,
and thrills, and electr. fies, and
sends the blood of his hearers
tinglinI through their veins; with
"A magnetism that enthrals thin,
and hold, them to eve y word like
the be clinging TO the lips Of the
honeysuckle-with all these gifts
of all the gods at once, Tom. Fitch
should be a name to conjnre with.
1t shoold be a name emb azoned
high among the honored ones OF
the natl N. BIZ it is not. The
NJ entail poise and utter absence OF
a moral balance have made Of
Tom. Fitch au oratorical Be1ouin
whose tongue has turned To every
thing at the touch of silver. AS
the lete lamented Shakespe IRE
would say, So is true t is pity,
and PITY t is t is true"
