his attention to public business, man OF
talent, and an earnest student OF public
questions" /" but at the same time he does " not
wish to make any discrimination against
his distinguished colleague, Senator CHAND-
LER," for whom he has "a very high re-
spect and regard as a man Of remarkable
ability. energy, and zeal in the maintenance
OF his convictions Of right, and as q coura-
geous public servant Of the State OF New
Hampshire and OF the United States"
Probably JOE BLACKBURN is the only
Senator who would not be willing to praise
Mr.. CHANDLER as highly as DR.. GALLINGEB.
AS there 10 no politics in the matter there is
no harm in saying that both men are able
and industrious and jealous, and many
other I'D jectives Of good.
The Hon. BENJAMIN X. TILLMAN Of South
Carolina furnishes an opinion which has
personal flavor:
Personal criticism OF q fellow Senator unless 70
his face ana public matters. would hardly be con-
sidcred proper. have had no personal intercourse
with Senator GAiiiNoEn and merely passing
Acquaintance Ho has been quite attentive TO his
duties being In his scat about often as any other
senator He has created an impression on my mind
of being capable the Of his feiiowa Ny
impression OF him has been rathor favorable than
otherwise Like nil New Enganders. and indeed all
good Eastern men. he Ia strong believer in the Pur
tanicai doctrinei Tho world created for tho
saints. and we the saints.'"
To create an impression rather favorable
than otherwise upon mind like Mr.. TILL
MANS Is perhaps even more remarkable
than to create an unusually favorable I'M
preston upon anybody else in the Senate.
The Hon. JOHN A. Il. HULL, NJ. c., OF Iowa
does mot think the State would lose any
thing by reulccting" DR.. GALLISGER. This
IL one OF the most cautious opinions given.
The Hon. JONATHAN =. DoLLIvER, NJ. c.,
also OF Iowa, is not so guarded, but says
right out that 4" no man outranks him tDr.
GALLISGER1 as an industrious and faithful
servant OF the people" The Hon. WILLIAM
BOYD ALLISON. who Is always model
OF diplomatic good taste, AYERS that
DIR. GALLINGER and Senator CHANDLER
"give to the United States Senate a
splendid representation from the State
OF New Hampshire" The Hon. RICHARD
FRANKLIN PETTIGREw, whom Mr. ROBIN
son calls Hon. RICHARD T. PETTIGREw, SEN
ator from South Dakota, declares that New
Hampshire and the country can i'll afford to
dispense with the services OF DR.. GALLIN-
GER. 1t Is unfortunate to have to remem-
Der that South Dakota and the country
seem perfectly willing to dispense with the
services Of Mr.. PETTIGBEw. The Hon.
STEPHEN A. NoRTHwAY, NJ. c., OF Ohio,
says that DIR. GALLISGER Is never engaged
in any q. those questionable practices in the
Senate which detract from his dignity and
exalted position" We should hope not |;
but who is engaged In those questionable
practices and what are theyi 1t seems to
us that the Hon. STEPHEN A. NoRTHwAY Is
not guilty OF comfy toward the Senate.
1t would be a pleasure to reprint all these
words in praise OF DIR. GALLISGER, but we
can find room for only ono more sweetly
placed and modestly directed word. Ac-
cording to the Hon. EUGENE j. HAINEs, NJ.
c., OF Nebraska, Senator GALLISGER Is
perfectly safe, thoroughly reliable brainy,
and has the courage OF his convictions"
To be at once reliable" and "brainy" Is
as high distinction as Senator or any
body else can attain. We congratulate DR..
GALLISGER, but more especially we con-
gratulate the Hon. HENRY ROBINSON Of
Concord. He lis good friend, and he knows
how to get nice letters written to him.
