EDITOR LA. DEMOCRAT
Will you be SO kind AZ to admit
into the columns of your ably con
Quoted paper my conception of a
gentleman.
A gentleman is recognized by
bis regard for the rights aud feel
lngs of others, even in The most
trivial matters. He respects the
individuality Of others just as he
wishes others to respect his own.
In society he is quiet and uuob-
trusive-putting Oh no airs, nor
limiting by word or manner, that
he deems himself better, wiser or
richer than any one about him.
lie never looks down upon others
because they have not titles, hon
ors or social position equal to his
own. He never boasts of his
achievements or angles for com
p'iments by affecting to undelrate
what he has done. He prefers to
act, rather than to talk; to ba, ra
Their than to seem; and above all
things, he is distinguished by his
quick perception and prompt at
tention to those little and appar-
ently Insignificant things that may
cause pain or pleasure to others.
What l have written about a
gentleman will answer for DIES
cription OF Judge J. Il. Thornton,
If Alexandr ia, and we want him iii
The coming constitutional conven-
lion, if he will consent to 60. lie
thoroughly comprelcrtls the na-
'ure and requirements Of eIenen
tary and fundamental principles.
The Wenacing and threatening
position of public affairs existing
i'll this great commonwealth to-
day, will demand all his incisive
Statesmanchip, and great ability.
AS a member of the convention,
Judge Thornton understands that
in the creation aud construction Of
:. fundamental law, that it requires
i high order of craftsmanship,
wise focethouyht and political Sal
saci,y 10 anticipate and provide
practical provision for what may
arise in the future unknown con
tisigencies.
There is nothing small or cramp-
ed about Judge Thornton. lie is
an able man, in the broadcast, best
aud completest sense Of the word;
Il full, we'll balanced, well-rounded
character; a noble man Of nature
and a noble man OF education, rea-
son and action. His life is gentle
and The elements SO mixed in him,
