From Amos j, Cummings washington Letter
in the Kew York Sun
Georgia has two democratic wheel
horses in the legislative traces. One is
man Of great experience and of aclonowl-
edged ability. He is a member of the
committee of ways and means, and has
seen much service on this committee. He
is Henry C. Turner, of Quitman. He has
taken very active part in all the hear
in2s before the committee Of ways and
means, and, like Speaker Crisp, was at
one time chairman of the committee on
elections. interchangeable in his committee
work he is power on the floor OF the
House His speeches, though few, are
well seasoned, and carry great weight.
There is nothing dramatic or theatrical
about him He speaks calmly and dis
passionately, confirming himself to the
point at issue, and calculating facts very
clearly and convincingly. Extremely
courteous in bearing and language, he
commands both the attention and the
consideration of all who hear him. He is
one of the steadiest and strongest of the
wheel horses in the House. The nation.
Let alone his state, could lily AFFORD to lose
him.
Another Of tine steady pullers from
Gcor-ia is Leonidas +. Livingston,
Turner is as quiet and placid as June
morning but Livingston is as breezy and
as stirring as the wind that scatters
mountain gardens with the blossoms OF
lrllt trees in the spring, Turner is I'M
uemonStrative in manner, and Livingston
extremely demonstrative. The former
never gets into a white heat, and the lat
Ter never speaks Without reaching 1t. He
mas clear resonant voice, and a pugna-
Gous temperament. Energetic, deter
mined and firm set in his convictions, he

great committee on appropriations, he
