The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1896-04-18

Notwithstanding his neglectful habits
Senator Georges signature is a study
and IL requires an expert in chirog
raphy TO trace any resemblance 10
James Y. George in the illegible scraw
he makes when signing his name.
Senators VOORHEES, of Indiana, Stew.
art of Nevada and Plat of Connecti-
cut are all of the same age, 6S. Stew
art is patriarchial-looking statesman
and however his views on the silver
question may be regarded by the ge-
NAL public, that he is a favorite with
the frequenters of the gallery is shown
by the applause that invariably greets
any speech he makes. Senator Voor-
hees shows all OF his 6s years, and his
brow is wrinkled with the worry and
| cares of many a political battle. He is
a bitter partisan and has made
many fiery speech on the
floor of the senate. Senator
man and looks strong and vigorous.
He always takes a prominent part in
discussions in the senate, but is never
known TO say anything brilliant, his
words being slow and measured. Gen.
eral John L. Gordon of Alabama, who
Is 81 years of age. has seen considerable
of public lie. He served through the
war as major general in the confeder-
ate forces, has been governor of his
state and served in the United States
senate for eight years previous to his
last election to that body. Senators
Cullom OF Illinois and Allison of Iowa,
both OF whom are on the list as pos
sible presidential nominees, are each 66
years OF age. Cullom is noted for his
resemblance to Abraham Lincoln and
trains his whiskers to increase the like
ness. He Is a shrewd politician and
carries considerable force in the coun-
ellis OF his party. Allison Is considered
one OF the handsomest men in the sem
ate and is a great favorite on account
or his uniform courtesy and considera-
ton of others.
These senator's are 65 years old: Tel
Ter of Colorado, Vest of Missouri and
Jones of Nevada. while Senators PETER
of Kansas, Walthall of Mississippi and
Proctor of Vermont are each 81. OF the
sextet Teller Is probably the most
sprightly, his step still retaining the
spring of youth. PETER is just the OPP
posite. His movements are slow and
heavy, and he walks with the unde-
cided movements of a man of so. Jones
Is a man of considerable wealth, and
his carelessness in handling immense
rolls OF bills has occasioned a good
deal of gossip. He always has a num-
Der OF bills of large denomination,
which he carries loosely in his pockets.
Senator Mills of Texas has passed 63
summers, and the Pennsylvania sena-
tors, Cameron and Quay, are each g.
while Cockrell of Missouri, with 81
years to his credit, completes the list
of 20 senators whose ages range be-
tween 60 and 20. Cameron might easily
be taken for so, while his colleague is
just about as youthful.
or the senator's who are just 60 years
OF age there are just four. as follows:
Lindsay of Kentucky, Caffrey of Lou
isiana, Chandler of New Hampshire
md Ill
Chandler is by far the most active, and
In addition to his legislative work edits
a paper at his home in Concord and
rides a bicycle

'asco of Georgia come within this limit, !
tut as they are bashful about having =
heir ages known. they left II out in
ompiling their sketches of themselves

ectory. Senator Germans smooth
