erner. He looks like the cow boys of Fred
erick Remington's sketches. Tail and lean,
ne ne has long. thin head. the most striking
cheeks are thin his jaws strong, and his
smoothly shaven face is full Of lines of de-
termination and grit He is all muscle,
bones and brains. Just how much brains
the future will show, but he has demon
strated that he has a fair quantity and no
lack Of grit. His face is rather sallow, and
his arms are as long as those of John Sher-
man. He has shed his vest during these
dog days, and he wears flannel shirt
with turnover collar. about which he has
long blue scarf. This scarf is tied In a
sailor knot and the blue ends of 1t stand
out on each side of his chin against his
short black coat. With all his rough air
he is college-bred man. and he GENES
here at the age of thirty-six as a populist
and a silver democrat.
A Word About Isadore Rayner.
Speaking of Pence brings to mind Isadore
Rayner. Rayner is a clean-cut, dark faced
member from Baltimore. He made a repu-
tation for himself during the Fiftieth and
Fffty-second Congresses as an able debater.
a sound thinker and an all-around good
fellow. He is Of Hebrew descent. but there
is no sign of the Israelte in his features.
l don't know how rigid he is in his belief,
but have been told that he is rather lib
he makes about SIS. 900 a year at his law
practice in Baltimore. He is well educated.
modest and very ambitious. He talks
metallist, but he is one of that sort which
lean toward a gold standard. Isadore Ray

dark and rosy. and his jet black hair.
which he parts very near the middle. is
smoothly plastered down upon his head.
His forehead Is high and broad, and he
looks more like club man than a Con-
snver-Dollar Bland.
Silver Dollar Bland on the other hand
looks like a grocer or a lay Methodist
preacher who devotes himself to selling
goods between Sundays. He wears a white
necktie, a black alpaca sack coat and black
pantaloons and vest. He is short stocky
man well along in the ffties. He has the
sallow complexion OF the MisSourian and
much thinking has gouged the hair out Of
eaten. as has been said Of Allen Of Missis-
sippi. but it is well thinned out at the
crown and over the forehead. He has a
reddish brown beard covering the lower
half of his face and he keeps his jaws
moving while not speaking In chewing to-
bacco. He is man of considerable abil-
ity and of bull dog tenacity. His silver
dollar bill in reality was invented by Sem
ator Allison and Bland was at that time
in favor of free coinage. He is thoroughly
posted on all silver questions and his dis
trict sends him here as the advocate of
silver. He is not a great speaker. His
voice is hoarse and his manner heavy. He
is a man of small means Notwithstanding
that he lived in the mineral regions of the
west during some of the greatest gold and
silver finds. He is not a companionable
man and Is rather quiet and reserved than

A Word About McCreary.
Governor McCreary has made a number
of good speeches during this session. He
is bimetallist and he rings all the changes
upon his theory, talking in stentorian tones
and gesturing the while with a pair OF
spectacles which he puts on his nose every
time he has to look at his notes or read a
quotation. He Is big man, weighing,
judge. about 200 pounds and standing about
five feet ten In his polished boots. He has
a heavy head, a dark rosy face, which ne
keeps as smoothly shaven as was that
OF Daniel Webster, and he culti-
Yates, 1t seems to me, Webster In his
voice and manner. He seldom jests on the
floor, though he is good story teller in
private. He is lawyer from Richmond
KY, and is worth about a quarter Of a
million dollars. He lives IN Richmond
within a stones throw of where he was
born. His law office there Is the head
quarters of the politicians of the state, and
he was spoken of for the United States
Senate when Carlisle was elected.
