the face shaven excepting the trim
mustache covering a mouth which
knows we'll what not to say, the small
but reSOlute chin. and shoulders with

long and close acquaintance with desks
and books, made up the picture of the
man who stands but one step away
from the highest office in the nation.
1.-The journey has not wearied me in
the least; it has been one continuous
round of pleasant meetings and greet
lngs, without a bit of politics in it from
beginning to end, and it is too late to be-
gin now" said the vice president I'VE
went for rest, recreation and pleasure,
and are going home flied full of it. Our
ride back across the continent was made
through country new to he, and over
Mr.. HIPS new road, and we enjoyed the
ride thoroughly"
81 regard Mr.. HIPS road" said Judge
Ewing. las one of the most remarkable
on the continent. ! don't think a road
was ever built of nearly its magnitude
which was so we'll built and balasted
rides over it as smoothly as over the
New York Central or any of the old
roads. Its construction, too, wit bout
governmental aid or local bonuses
makes a pleasing contrast with the
manner i'll which the other Pacific
roads were built"

| back across the country and greets us
here in st. Paul again this morning as
brightly as ever. 1t has indeed been
delightful time. We expected to have
an outing, but everywhere our coming
was known and the kindest and most
| thoughtful of attention has everywhere
been shown US. We thought we could
| get in here unheralded and put in a day
| in good Democratic ride about your
city on its street cars, but there is no
escaping the telegraph in this day."
The vice president was as reluctant
| to talk politics to others as he was to the
reporters. He would give no expression
! of his views upon the silver question,
upon what he anticipated of congress or
| anything else political. Indeed, that
has really been his policy throu ghout
| his entire trip. He states that he has
| been royalty received everywhere that
he has been, and the tourists have been
! up the Pacific coast, and then through
| National park and to this city.
| Gen. Stevenson took occasion to re-
call his very pleasant visit to st. Paul
five years ago, and TO add that he is
| surprised at the evidences of growth
and prosperity with which he was con-
tronted yesterday, when escorted
| through the city.
| The afternoon was spent in Minneap-
oils, and last evening the party returned
to st. Paul, and then resumed the Jour
| ney. They took the Burlington and left
| at 1880, and will arrive in Chicago this
morning. After rest of day at his
home in Bloomington, ILL.,. the vice
president will 90 to Washington to
assume the duties of his Office.
