most powerful debater in the 55th

Judge DeAtmond ia a man of ex
ceptional modesty in both public
and private life. Small, physically,
he me italy towers above the head
of even intellectual giants
VIII never he takes the floor to
speak. the attention of the whole
hous Is conferred on him.
There is no man the republican
fears so munh as DeArmond of Mis-
souri, They seem to tremble, for
fear his cutting satire and mastery
rhetoric will sweep them into the
vortex of oblivion.
No thoughtless sentences ever
fall from his lips. He is an observ-
er who comprehends the import of
every public action. Nothing es
capes his understanding Keen and
clear his mind seems to penetrate
into the dark recesses of political
error, aud as bright as the rays of
the morning sun his intellect illumi-
mates the democratic pathway of
principles.
Judge DeArmond ia indeed a
leader Of great men. He is involun.
tarily recognized as one in whom
others can trust. There Is always
kindness and encouragement from
him to all An ever ready hand and
heart to do that which his conscience
aud his party dictates. He is one
whose power among men is chsrac
terized by rendering unto each .he
full measure of his services
AS a parliamentarian in the speak
er's chair he would really make Tom
Reed look SILLY. His friends may
