Governor Shaw's Davenport speech
was quite characteristic of the man. It
was candid, accurate, complete and
conclusive. Even the whitening little
introduction in which he disposed of
all the vicious yulgarities of Fred
Whites low personal assault upon him,
was quite complete. Without any di-
rect reference to the man who commit
ted this gross brutality, it pinned him
up as neatly as words could do it, and
with one, little stroke landed him
where all might see him in his true
light. 1t was dignified, self-respect-
ing thing to do, to ignore a dirty
blackguard, farther than to say that
the tendency of the time is away from
