tor Proctor is held by the people of YER

tary of war and in the Senate. He said
1t was Il great honor to this State that it
has done so much to make the United
States Senate what ii ought to bc-tho
most august and powerful body in the
world. II has done SO by sending there
men of differing talents, but men repre-
sentative OF the States sturdy good sense.
Mr.. Partridge spoke from the standpoint
