MIR. GOKMAN AT SARATOGA
AS He Is Seen and Observed by
John Henry keenc and
known Outside Of
Maryland.

From Baltimore -imercdn. Sunday, 18th
Mr.. John Henry Kcene writes to the
american from Saratoga, where United
States Senator A. P. German now is, as
follows:
'As some people seem to take such a
malicious, and to the writer so unseeming
ly a delight, almost a delicious pleasure,
in magnifying the small events and mini
MIXING the great and statesman like course
of Senator German, l thought that the
masses who read the AEae,icdn's open, fair
and honest political statement for both
sides, might like to hear something of the
events which characterize the life of the
Senior Senator of Maryland at Saratoga.
at may seem strange but Senator Cor
mans life is full of hustle and animation
even at Saratoga. With untired animal
spirits, and without a particle of the i'll
humor which characterizes his local enc
mics, Mr.. German is engaged even here,
in the discharge of the many important
public duties of United States Senator
during the adjournment of Congress. 1t
is difficult to say which to admire the most,
the unassumed character of his life, the I'M
alterableness of his resolution to perform
his whole duty, as he sees it, his complete
presence of mind under trying circum-
stances, and his absolute indifference to
the tricks, the impostures and the inccs-
SAINT prosecutions of certain people at

as pitiabe as they are ludicrous. The lit
tie din of his enemies does not seem to
daunt his ears.
Men of both parties from all sections
of the country, at all hours can here be
seen in constant consultation with Scna-
tor German. The great questions which
disturb the public seem always uppermost
in Senator Germans mind and he is con-
stantly engaged in gathering reliable in
formation from all the available sources
of knowledge.
Representative leaders of public opin-
ion in great numbers are accustomed at
this season to assemble at Saratoga, and
few mems opinions and views seem 50 as
siduously sought after here as those of the
man so subjected at home to Il narrow
spiteful, petty and vehement abuse.
MUCH SOUGHT AFTER.
