SENATOR GRAY.-The Philadelphia
/ - ao;I -
its Washington letter: Zone of the
most solid looking men of the Senate
is Mr. Gray. of Delaware. His case il
an illustration of the old adage that q
prophet is not without honor &c. Il
happens that Mr. Gray is little known
throughout the country, yet in tn,
Senate he is looked up to as one of th'
strong men, one of the master minds o
the body. A thinker, an orator. pa
triOt, a man of rare ability and com,
mon sense the day will surely come il
which he will be known by the nation
at his true worth. One of Senate
Gray's peculiarities is his fOndness fol
running his hands down in his pockets
of his trousers. In this he is like
boy who has for the first time in his
career attained the dignity of pockets
Whether making a speech engaged
lettering about the chamber, an cage
listener to all that is going on, Senate
Gray habitually has his two big hand
thrust into the pockets of his trousers
